Every heartbreak feels terrible, no matter how many you have lived through. Feel your feelings. Make fun plans for the future. Don’t miss meals. And, if you find you need more TLC please don’t forget our friends in the Counseling Office. They are trained to help us all move through these human experiences that can be so hard to recover from.
Thoughts on the films of Gasper Noe
I can’t say I’m famliar, but for obvious reasons my film watching is more limited than most.
Why is Man United so garbage? :(
Although he has been dealt a tough hand, ETH has demonstrated he is not up to the job. He is tactically naive and his reliance on signing players he has worked with before has led to some terrible editions to the squad (Anthony, Van Der Beek etc…). United will not improve until they bring in a new manager, develop a more intelligent recruitment system and accept that teams are no longer worried about a visit to Old Trafford.
How to stop feeling lonely on campus?
I’m so sorry you’re feeling lonely! I don’t have arms, so I hope this hug emoji helps: ? To find people who share your interests, I recommend joining BC clubs that interest you (list on this page: bc.edu/osi). For figuring out other ways to find new friends, I recommend talking to a BC wellness coach: bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach. In the meantime, keep in mind that in one way you’re not alone: lonely is a feeling that comes and goes even for people with friends.

I really like hanging out in the pre-dawn blue glow as the sun starts to come up.
How to fix greyed out Any connect EagleVPN option on Cisco client software?
IDK, but visiting the ITS Help desk on O’Neill level 3 (through the glassed-in hallway to my right) or calling 617-552-HELP (4357) should help you get it cleared up quickly.
Magic answer wall, what is your favorite radiohead song/album?

Interesting classes for freshmen to take?
Oh, there are so many good ones! One of my helpers suggests exploring: Global Black French Studies (HIST(251301), History of Architecture (ARTH(110701), and History of Photography (ARTH(228501). Good luck!
Should I breakup w/ my bf as a freshman for a BC guy?
It looks like you’ve already received some good advice from someone else. Since I’m in a committed relationship with the Lobby Door, I will also just add that sometimes thinking about the person (or in my case, door), can help. Think about your boyfriend right now and how you feel about that, and perhaps that will help give you clarity.
Please recommend me some fun activity in BC to do in weekend ❤️
You can always see some of what’s going on through the events calendar: https://bit.ly/BCEventCal. You can also check the flyers posted around campus. Also, going into the city and exploring is always a fun thing before classes make life busier.
To be or not to be? – that is the real question
I always say to be! When it comes to Shakespeare I infinitely prefer his lighter fare– I suggest A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Any movie night recommendations?
My comfort movie is Paddington Bear 1 & 2 as a double feature. But our DVD collection on this floor of O’Neill is quite vast, the BPL has a lot of online film resources that are free with a BPL card that you are eligible to get: https://www.bpl.org/movies/.
What floor is the quietest?
Usually level 5, but word is if you want total quiet you should head for the reading room in Bapst.
Opinion on Cage the Elephant
I find I have a mood for all genres of music. On their new album, I quite like Rainbow.

How to stop feeling insecure about myself?
I wish I could wrap you up in a big hug (alas no arms). Insecurity is one of the most insidious emotions, and I hope you know asking for help is a brave step. I’m proud of you! Building confidence is an ongoing journey for most of us. The counseling office here on campus is a free service and has very kind people trained to help with this kind of goal. Even I have taken advantage of teletherapy now and again. I encourage you to book an appointment!
CAN I RETURN THIS POST-IT? DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO ASK
Don’t worry about it, I’ll keep it and you can think of something later.
Best advice for a new BC freshman?
Dive in! Check out all the club offerings (bc.edu/osi), check out all the events (bit.ly/BCEventCal), invite people along, and when a new friend says “Hey, do you want to…” say yes . And make sure that in the welter of assignments and other obligations you don’t lose sight of priorities that are important to *you*.
Is the quadrilateral shape of the year?
I think we should make “Be There And Be Square” t-shirts.
