Well, 4% of you is probably experiencing some culture shock. We have lots of books you could read to get up to speed on what 4% of you has missed, and to help you make sense of the different reactions to things you’re probably having. bit.ly/bc-neanderthal. Unfortunately it looks like cosmetic surgery is not covered by the student health plan, if that’s a concern.

I agree with the response. I don’t think anyone wouldn’t be at least flattered to know you’d developed true feelings for them over the course of an otherwise rather transactional affair. You would be opening yourself up to rejection, of course, but that’s always the risk when telling someone you want a relationship. Worth it, in my opinion. Best of luck!

The only way out is through. But brainstorm about ways you can make sophomore year more appealing and meaningful. Are there some opportunities you haven’t yet had a chance to try at BC? Some new goal you can set for yourself for the year? People you want to get to know? Effect political change? I’d hate to see you going through the motions when there’s a whole awesome year ahead for you to experience and give yourself to.

1) Be aware it’s a class I controlled substance, so selling or possessing risks a federal felony offense, and because of illegality, 2) it’s likely to be impure and have unknown strength or dosage amount, whether in liquid form, on blotter paper, or in gel tabs, 3) It’s a psychotropic, which means it can have strange, unpredictable effects on the mind & emotions, so you’d need someone around who’s experienced it and knows how to shepherd you through your experience, and 4) effects can last as long as 8 hours, so you’d need a big block of time set aside in a safe space. As a rather sedate Wall, I recommend extreme caution. As to the response: I don’t see how it’s related to the OP, though I understand your frustration & wish you the best of luck.

If your diet mostly consists of Cheetos and orange Fanta (not judging) you might consider rebalancing things. If it continues it’s not a bad idea to stop by health services.

I fell for a bearded footballer but now he’s shaved we’ve lost the spark! + now I’m scared I’ll never see him again

If you’re scared you’ll never see him again, it sounds like you haven’t lost the spark. He’s the same person, facial hair or no. If you made the mistake of rejecting him for beardlessness & now regret it, ask for forgiveness. If no regrets, move on.

Backhanded compliments leave people wondering if they heard a compliment or an insult. Statements like “you’re smarter than you look” or “you’re not so bad once people get to know you” are certainly confusing and strange compliments.

I didn’t get a cookie 🙁

I’m sorry the cookies went so fast. One of the great things about being an adult (… and not being a wall) is you can generally get yourself a cookie if you really want one, so if you’re feeling cookie-deprivation, why not go visit my friend the vending machine on Level One and treat yourself?

Do twins have telepathy?

Do twins have telepathy? Yes!
Do twins have telepathy? Yes!

Identical twins often seem to know what the other is thinking, but this is more likely due to a deep, shared history with the other. You could try testing for telepathy by asking one twin a question then seeing if the other twin answers correctly. A correct answer might not prove the existence of telepathy, but it would definitely be a cool trick.
