The best advice you can get is from the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors Call now for an appointment! In brief: plan your priorities and time over the next few weeks. Schedule the biggest items first, then fit in smaller ones. Be sure to schedule rest and meals. You can do this!

How can you ask such a question of a wall in a library with thousands of books of poetry!? Well, here’s a favorite poem about writing poems, by Seamus Heaney: poetryfoundation.org/poems/47555/digging

GOAT: “…But I am talking too much. It’s because I chatter that I do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing. I’ve learned to chatter this last month, lying for days together in my den thinking… of Jack the Giant-killer. Why am I going there now? Am I capable of that? Is that serious? It is not serious at all. It’s simply a fantasy to amuse myself; a plaything! Yes, maybe it is a plaything.”

That’s got to be a hard decision. I would advise getting advice from your academic advisor, and also making a pro/con list. Do you have a gut sense of which choice you would regret if you didn’t choose it?

Senior year brings on all the feels. I hope you can embrace the hope and possibilities of your future; it doesn’t have to be stuck at home 24/7. Spend part of the year building that better future by meeting up with the helpful folks at the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career).

That’s hard. You put yourself in that place for reasons, and it can be hard to let go of them even when it isn’t working for you. If it were all toxic it would be easier, but it never is, and you can hold onto what’s good about the situation for a long time. It’s also easy to stick with something familiar, even if it’s terrible. All of that is totally normal. Take care of yourself, and don’t beat yourself up for taking a while to make a decision.
