Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I appreciate your feedback! The Library is currently collecting users’ input through a one-question survey to help determine the type of space the 5th floor study room would be (Here’s the survey: bit.ly/bc-new-study-survey). I will route your comment to the Library Administration for their consideration.
Tteokbokki!
It sounds like you know what the cause of this intense stress is. Try to reduce the amount of contact you have with people who stress you out. If you need space for yourself, try to find a place that is comfortable and peaceful; a space were you can relax, reflect, rest, or study for as long as you want or need to. The libraries have plenty of spaces that are conducive to relaxation, study or reflexion. My favorite is the area located at the 4th floor’s north end, where the soft chairs are. You ought to try it!
Hi, night owls! I must have been dozing or I’d have said hi then.
I confirmed with the Academic Advising Center that you do need to wait until then. They also wanted to let you know that if you have below a 3.0, you would need to get an overload approval form filled out and signed by the Academic Dean.
Reply hazy, ask again. At any rate, that’s what my distant cousin Magic 8-ball would say. I’m not very good at predictions. Good luck finding him! I’m sure you will.
Yes. There’s a piece in the Heights about it, and the New York Times Magazine had coverage of similar investments at other schools locally and nationwide. http://bit.ly/bc-koch. There’s some commentary and questions from a foreign policy expert here: http://bit.ly/bc-koch2

The Career Center can help you find jobs that would almost certainly be a better way to go: bit.ly/BC-career
Wallabies, of course!
It’s mostly tuition, fees, and the return on an almost three billion dollar endowment. BC also receives about a hundred million dollars per year in donations, which is more than many schools’ entire endowments. I’m speaking generally, if you want the specifics you should visit my friend the BC Fact Book: http://bit.ly/BC-FactBook. (and if you’re getting any financial aid, you’re almost certainly already getting some of BC’s money)
That works up here! And here’s a nugget from Eleanor Roosevelt to ponder, “Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.”
No, but be prepared for some heartburn!
I’d say if you’re overwhelmingly fixated on what you like about someone, to the point of idolizing them, you are likely infatuated with them. This sometimes involves not paying much attention to things that would be considered negative. An example is possibly deciding to ignore the fact that someone you’re infatuated with clearly doesn’t respect you. Love often involves having a more comprehensive understanding of someone you’re affectionate towards. There may be things about them you don’t like, but you’re willing to accept their faults because you want to build and maintain a healthy relationship with them.
Take some time for self-care, focusing on your mental health and general wellness. Give yourself some time and prioritize yourself, and you’ll be back to caring about classes before you know it. Then you can make a plan to keep self-care strategies a routine part of your life to prevent burn-out in the future.
Makes me so grateful to live here, rent-free… Strategies to get by in NYC might include: having a lot of roommates, living in a less expensive borough like The Bronx or Queens, keeping to a tight budget and learning about personal finance to minimize your other expenses, and possibly having a side hustle.
You need to define what you mean by success: earn money, perfect a craft, become powerful, create art, build a family, achieve true happiness, be honest and humble… . Then learn what it would take to achieve your goals, and be single minded about taking all the necessary steps. No guarantees, though! Life happens.
Yes- I can answer in Comic Sans
I think you answered your own question. The 4th floor restrooms are heavily used and smaller than the ones on the 2nd and 5th floors. Their heavy and concentrated use makes it very difficult to keep the 4th floor facilities clean and in good repair. I guess sometimes being popular isn’t such a great thing.
