Doing nothing would be the best course of action. Keeping it in the realm of your fantasy life is an option, though I fear that could make you less attentive to course material. Trying to get your professor to be involved with you could be very harmful to their career and cause unnecessary grief for you, so please do not do this!

My drawing skills are way down since 2017… I wanna cry

It’s so discouraging when a skill goes downhill! I can’t draw at all, but I’ve heard that drawing is one of those skills (like playing an instrument) that takes diligent practice. May I suggest an elective that satisfies an arts core requirement? Drawing I: Foundations (ARTS1101-01)

What’s the difference between American’s Invasion of Syria and Russia’s attack of Ukraine?

The differences (pace & path of escalation, context, strategic goals, etc.) outnumber the similarities. The only similarity, really, is the asymmetry of power. You might find Iraq a closer parallel. If you’re looking for a moral/ethical comparison, well, those analysis fill books and can’t be summarized on a post-it. Here are some books about Ukraine in the last decade to get started: bit.ly/ukraine-2014

It is pricey goo! There are some more affordable organic brands out there, maybe try some of them and see if they work for you (or keep an eye out for sales.) Making your own products at home with organic ingredients is also a possibility.

I’m a senior waiting for grad school applications to come out…

Dear Wall, I'm a senior waiting for grad school applications to come out. I'm super anxious. I've been working so hard for this, and I know it's gonna be heartbreaking if I cannot get in... don't know what to do now. Gosh, am I good enough?

It is totally normal to be nervous and I wish you all the best luck. But let me encourage you to keep two things in mind. 1) there are lots of reasons why you might not be a match for a particular program that have nothing to do with you. 2) You are good enough because you are you. As a friend says occasionally: you are not your job, or your credentials. You are good enough because you are a person.

Oh, my sweet visitor, you do not suck at life. I have met many people, and almost invariably, at some point they fall short of their own expectations. But life is long and (in my observations) it truly does get better, even though it may not seem likely when you are in the depth of self doubt. Please think about speaking to a real human (bit.ly/BC-counseling) who can help you see your worth. ❤️

The heart wants what it wants, so no judgment whatever you decide. If you continue the relationship with him you should be prepared for a rocky and unpredictable ride that could end badly and/or unexpectedly. Take care of yourself.
