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).

Play different games? No, but seriously, if the tears and anger are getting to you, consider opting out. Nothing says you have to play all the way to the final boss. At least take some lengthy breaks – a week or more. Life itself is hard enough!

Oh wow. That’s so hard. Today I’m feeling like it’s the questions that help me learn about you. We had a question about TikTok like two years before it hit big. Ask me again later and I’ll have a different answer.

I have been asked this several times, and the best answer I have is that there is surprisingly little data on this. There are some surveys, but the sample sizes are small enough to make the conclusions meaningless. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, you will be able to find those who share your convictions, as well as those who oppose them here.

I’m so glad you like the student experience at Boston College! I’m sorry to report I haven’t eaten sand cake because I only eat post-its. My mother, a seawall on the north shore, enjoys an occasional sand snack, but I’m guessing a sand-cake is something else.

Only two responses!? At this school full of beautiful buildings? Sigh… maybe you’re too busy gazing upon their beauty to answer. 1. Theology & Ministry Library 2. The small carved stone figures above Bapst & Burns Doorways

Honestly, I don’t drink beer, so I can’t weigh in on this debate. My favorite beverage is water! Sparkling or still, ice or no ice, doesn’t matter to me!

I will pass your feedback on to those who might be able to effect change. Wishing you brighter days ahead.

Awwww, that’s so sweet! Perhaps your friends are so nice because you’re such a wonderful person.

I’ve never had the pleasure of meeting him, myself, but he seems to have huge fans on RateMyProfessors dot com.
