It depends. It’s normal when you’re learning something for there to be plateaus where the daily effort feels like it’s accomplishing less.

Both look like the offspring of AI slop and an evolved Pokemon during a radioactive incident. I’ll let brainrot fandom have the last word on the decision.
If walls could talk… . Just kidding, they can! I think I’ve heard everything at this point from my dorm wall friends. If I were a human in that situation I’d probably apologize for not alerting them, and if the two of you haven’t talked through some ground rules, I’d suggest doing that as well, to avoid it happening again.
I’m sorry you feel like you’re a burden. What an awful feeling! Please know that you are enough, and not obligated to be change to satisfy other people. Several of my assistants who felt anxiety was limiting their lives have benefited from counseling: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
Just part of the Boston experience. The latest snowfall on record since 1893 was May 10th, and a certain amount often falls in April.
It really depends on the situation. In general it’s a good idea not to expect any one person to meet all your emotional needs…but who they are to you matters a great deal in terms of which needs aren’t being met. Be kind to yourself first.
Some say the hand heart comes from Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan in a photo titled “Family Syntax” in 1989. Others say it comes from poppin’ dance moves from the 1970’s. Regardless, it became really popular as a gesture in around 2010, then became an emoji after that.

I’ve known walls with peeling paint, but not pimples. And I have no booty. But it sounds like an annoying problem, and I wish all booty pimple sufferers quick relief.
When you find it necessary to ask that question.
It’s often said “the devil is in the details,” so I can’t answer this question until I have more information on what you are your friends did.
There are a lot of things going on right now that could possibly affect BC’s budget: tariffs, holds on funding at Ivy League schools, changes in federal research funding, changes in the safety of being a grad student on a visa in the US. However, tuition has already been set for 2025-2026. It increases 3.5%, to $72,180.
