Mostly through hard work and putting in the time. Orgo isn’t easy! But you can do this, and there is help. Try the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) and maybe form a study group in your class.
How do I survive organic chemistry?
How do I balance work, friends, school, relationships, and fun?
It’s hard for sure, and something everyone struggles with constantly. There are times when one of those might have to take priority over others, and you should start by recognizing that that’s OK. “Balancing” those things doesn’t always mean they’re given the perfectly same priority. Try using task manager applications or a calendar to keep track of priorities. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can always visit BC Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling).

HUGE shoutout to the kind, sweet cleaning lady who works the night shift cleaning the upper floors.
That’s wonderful! But you should thank her yourself. And you know what’s even better… write an email to the Director of Custodial Services (Gerard Boyle, boyleg@bc.edu) and tell him. That sort of action, not just here but everywhere you go in life, is valued by employees, and can have good repercussions.

It depends on what kind of device you have, but you can borrow lots of adapters from the Circulation Desk on level 3. If you’re facing me, turn around and you’ll see it.
What should I get my girl-friend for her B-day?
Make a list of her likes and hobbies. Try to come up with a couple of items or experiences that line up with each of those, then narrow it down to one thing that fits your budget and the occasion. Don’t forget to wrap it and while a card isn’t completely necessary, I bet she’d like one. Keep adding to the list as stuff comes up throughout the year, so you’re prepared for the gift-giving holidays to come!
Who let the dogs out?
Woof! Woof! Woof! This library is letting the dogs in! Watch for signs in the lobby. (psssst… it’s next week.)

Hey Wall, So my parents are getting a divorce.
You have an overwhelming number of important questions; you probably feel more than a little overwhelmed. I recommend talking many of these issues through with someone who can be both sympathetic and objective, and help you determine priorities for addressing and making sense of them. Counseling Services would be a good place to start: bit.ly/BC-counseling. For the dog poop I recommend any detergent plus oxy-clean or bleach, both available at any local grocery or drug store.
It can certainly be startling to see someone else’s internal monologue. Many of us are walking (or standing) around with such internal voices; it takes bravery to make it public, even anonymously, because you never know how people will respond. I was a little surprised myself, but it’s never a mistake to be compassionate.
I was in a toxic relationship that has ruin my life in high school?
I’m sorry someone you loved abused your trust. It can be hard to rebuild enough trust to connect with other people after an event like that. I recommend talking to someone at Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling) or Campus Ministry (bit.ly/bc-pastoral-counseling) to help you rebuild the capacity for trust and creating loving, nurturing, and mutually-beneficial relationships.

How to get rid of pimples =( =(
Wash your face! Too many people think just a splash of water in the morning is enough, but most dermatologists recommend a gental daily cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil. Gental exfoliation may help too, using a scrub once or twice a week or spot treating with salicylic acid. But before trying anything harsher, definitely check in with a licensed dermatologist. They can help you find a more personalized routine, since as a wall I’ve only got a theoretical knowledge of how skin works.
Do I drink too much?
If you’re concerned, it’s probably worth looking into further. The Office of Health Promotion has some useful info to determine if you have a problem: http://bit.ly/BCDrinking, and then you can follow up with them – they have a variety of programs to help.
I debated this with my friends, but we need your help.
Album score is Sean 4 (3 platinum, 1 gold) v Frank 3 (3 platinum, one of which won a Grammy). Frank’s got more number ones. So I’d say on that score, Frank by a nose. But it really comes down to which *you* like. Unlike sports, music isn’t really a competition.
