My guess is stress. But, if you’re experiecing sadness every night, you deserve some support. BC Counseling Services (https://bit.ly/BCUCSOptions) is a great resource– start with telling them this question and go from there. I for one want you to be happy and thriving.

It depends on your professor’s restrictions. There’s a lot of variance on AI usage in class. When in doubt, ask the person grading you!

Okay!

I haven’t met this entity.

I haven’t experienced it myself, but it sounds like Herrd is full of lonely laments post Valentine’s day. Call me old-fashioned, but I’m not sure algorithms are the best way to find a life partner. Tried and true: friends of friends.

Thanks for the invitation, but I’ve got stuff to do at home. I encourage all mobile humans to attend!

Well, that sounds like fun! I hope you find a traveling companion! Wave to my Mom (a seawall on the north shore) if you go in that direction.

Just be yourself and have patience. If love is meant to work out, it will! As singer Doris Day said, “Que Sera Sera” (Whatever will be, will be).

Looks like other friends got to this first and said the same thing: being yourself is always a wonderful starting place.

I don’t really eat or play games, so I think maybe I’d go with bacon so I could have little snacks available for visitors. But I encourage you to embrace moderation. Endless amounts of either of those can be unhealthy, but a bit of each sounds pretty awesome.

If you’re a BC student you might start by reaching out to the Muslim Student Association. The Yusuf Mosque in Brighton might also be a good place to reach out to for advice. And because I’m a library Wall I can also recommend something to read. Maybe try this introduction to Islam for a little context and history: bit.ly/bcl-intro-islam

I don’t have the experience (or money) to gamble with you but go ahead! Just remember that you need to be at least 18 years old to gamble in the State of Massachusetts (bit.ly/mass-gamble-age).

So many good options. Now? Maybe the fifth floor facing the Boston skyline. In a few weeks, when the trees begin to flower, maybe the little tables facing the plaza.

If you’re looking for a book, I’d recommend Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. It’s a visceral depiction of how sometimes it doesn’t matter how much you love someone, sometimes you’ll still lose them. If you want something to watch, I’d say The Haunting of Bly Manor on Netflix. It’s a ghost story, but it’s also a story about love and sacrifice.
