Everyone is exhausted at this point in what has felt like an endless year. It is OK to drop a few things if it gives you the space to take care of yourself. If you’re feeling totally overwhelmed, BC’s Counseling Services can be very helpful: bit.ly/BC-counseling
The months with the highest birth rates in the USA are July, August, September and October. So, if you count back 9 months it seems the colder weather in late fall and early winter is more inspiring than the spring. That said, birth rates are not that different from month to month, so maybe love is always in the air.
I’m so glad to hear that you’ve been feeling better! I spend so much time reading all of your questions that I don’t read much else, but our awesome library staff have an entire page reviewing their favorite recent reads: https://libguides.bc.edu/staff-picks I’m sure you’ll find some great reads there 🙂
The doggos have a very complicated schedule this year (sounds like the rest of us!) We hope to have full information available next week. But I heard a rumor that next wednesday (5/27) will be “Library Late Night” from 7-10 PM with 3 doggos, and also coloring, button-making, snacks, and chair massages!
I do hope this stays in the realm of theory and you are ok. If not, I would recommend immediately contacting your academic advisor and proceeding from there. They will have a better idea of your best course of action than I would.
My best advice about careers is to ask the experts at the career services office:bit.ly/BC-career. I encountered someone just yesterday with a theatre career who had a great career arc in publishing, then switched to poetry & teaching, so to some degree it’s not the major, it’s you.
My doors opened to patrons on July 16,1984, so perhaps I’m a Cancerian? It’s rather difficult to pin down the moment of my birth. Is it when ground was broken in 1981? When the last nail was hammered in? When I was coated with paint? When the ribbon was cut on the building? That’s a span of years. I contain multitudes in any zodiacal system.
