I’m sorry to report I haven’t found club tennis either among student organizations or on the BC Campus Rec club sports page: bit.ly/BC-club–sports. The only club-level racquet sports are squash and table tennis.

Don’t do this to yourself! This is the time to learn time management and get yourself into a more normal sleep cycle; you will feel so much better and in control. We have 2 great options for developing these life skills: Wellness Coaching through the Ofc. of Health Promotion: (bit.ly/BC-health-promo) or Academic Coaching through the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors). Wishing you sleep!

These decisions happen at high levels and take some time to take effect. The best I can do as a wall is to give your feedback to the approriate parties. I do hope you get your lighting! ???

Happy Autumn to you, too! I don’t mind the cold, but I live in a well-heated place. I hope everyone else has ways to stay warm so they can enjoy the cool weather of fall and the cold weather of winter!

I’ll do my best, and will pass along to all of those reading this that Jupiter should be considerably brighter this week than usual, because it’s closer than it will be for the next 100+ years. If you miss it this time around, Jupiter will be in opposition again in November of next year, though not quite as close. Details: bit.ly/jupiter-opposition

In a word, no. BC doesn’t officially report stats on its LGBTQ population, and BC isn’t listed by the Campus Pride Index (either as positive or in the worst list). But if you’re looking for a community, this office can help, and will be able to tell you more about LGBTQ organizations: bc.edu/lgbtq

Seriously!

Thanks, I hope you have a great day, too! –A.W.

I’ve been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks. (check out the MTV Unplugged show if you haven’t)

Finding a friend group can be challenging – you’re not alone! Exploring your interests is a great way to find like-minded people. Have you considered joining a club or student group on campus? Check out the long list of options at bit.ly/BC-campus-orgs

Communicate more than you think necessary by phone, text, zoom, email, and snail mail… . Mark important days with gifts. Send care packages. Talk about all the little things that happened each day. IOW, it takes a strong effort, but stay in each other’s day to day lives.

We have 2 librarians for Psychology, Kwasi Sarkodie-Mensah and Adam Williams. I would start with the resources on their library guides: bit.ly/BCPsychGuide and email one of them for assistance if you need it. (Their contact info is on the guide.)

Under very limited circumstance, when you live off campus and not nearby; see: bit.ly/BCPKGRegs

A day with questions is always a great day! Mi ĉiam opiniis, ke esperanto estas nobla ideo.

It can be peaceful and relaxing on the BC campus, and we love visitors. I hope you can find places at BU that calm you as well. If you are struggling, know that there are services available at BU you can contact (like SHS: bu.edu/SHS) for help!

Play to your strengths; what made her interested in you in the first place? Be kind, listen, and also be willing to accept if she doesn’t want to be in a relationship with you now. It is hard, but sometimes people move on.

Like you would talk to anyone else – except it is difficult, isn’t it, when the outcome matters to you so much!

They are both so important! May I suggest getting advice on time management? You could sign up for Wellness Coaching (Ofc. of Health Promotion: bit.ly/BC-health-promo) or Academic Coaching (Connors Family Learning Center: bit.ly/BC-connors).
