I’m longing to experience summer, too! We’ve had a little fore-taste of spring weather, which has whetted my appetite to feel a warm breeze coming through the lobby doors.
Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It’s more an art than a science. Some things are more under your control than others, so try focusing a little more on those. Make a decision about where you think you want to be and you’ll often find the other uncertainty gets out of your way.
Scared to leave. Give me a parting quote or poem about life, Wall?
Rebecca Solnit: “Hope locates itself in the premises that we don’t know what will happen and that in the spaciousness of uncertainty is room to act.” If you have 20 minutes to spare, listen to this moving commencement address by the author Richard Powers, from 2023: bit.ly/powers-commencement
I may be biased, but I would have to say that O’Neill Library is the most *surprisingly* cozy & welcoming. The facade is new brutalism, but my supportive & kind library helpers and the comfy chairs give this building a warm heart. I’m more familiar with academic buildings, most of which are more grand than cozy, with the exception of the libraries, of course. I’m not as familiar with the residence halls. Maybe you all can rank them?
I have said time and time again that I am all for communicating and giving it a try, especially when you know the feelings are mutual. Go you!
I would have to disagree. Asking people out can be hard, but so worth it.

Take a look in our MLA Bibliography database, and also do a search at library.bc.edu for “dante criticism and interpretation”. You may find it helpful to think a little about what kind of pain you have in mind, or who is having it, as those tend to be the ways critics talk about Dante.
