If this was in public it seems to fall under “sexual exploitation” in the BC Student Sexual Misconduct Policy (bit.ly/BCSexualMisconductPol). If you were found to have violated it, you would be sanctioned. That varies from having to give up your BC housing, to having to give up your degree – though they state that the response will be “commensurate with the violation.” Get a room?
There are no long-term side effects from taking plan B often (infertility) but short-term can include bloating, nausea, feeling unwell and other hormonal side effects which can definitely affect your quality of life. The makers of morning-after pills recommend only taking the pill once per cycle, but OBGYNs say that you can take the pill any time you have unprotected sex. If you find that you are taking the pill quite often because of unprotected sex, you might want to consider using condoms or talking to your doctor about other birth control alternatives.
Hey! Welcome to BC! I think you’re pretty cool too.
I’d check Urban Dictionary and see if your circumstances match.
Just hangin’ out. Hope you can stay a while.
Most toddlers’ gas is not much different than an adult’s gas, however toddlers may not have control over their gas, and therefore it may be more noticable. However, if a toddler has very foul smelling gas, it could be signs of a digestive track problem or allergy- a visit to the doctor may be in order.
If the desire is mutual and consenting, and no one get hurts (read: current partners)…well…wait, I’m not able to make this decision for you. But I will give you a few things to consider before you decide to take the leap.
There are many circumstances where that’s probably OK. Kids are hungry and there’s no other way to feed them? Sure. But pure greed? I wouldn’t advise it. Best to stick as close to your dreams/mission in life as you can, or you’ll probably regret it later on.
<3 Stay strong, we’re thinking of you!
![The guy I fancy has a square head [^.^] I'm worried about what my parents will say!](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/aw040719-10.jpg)
Hey, I’ve got a lot of right angles going on, myself! Square is beautiful. If he’s the guy for you, I hope your folks can only see the joy he brings you, not his head shape. You could start playing an old Huey Lewis and the News tune to subliminally set him up for parental approval…
Totally up to you and what you’re comfortable with. I’d want to have a conversation about safe words and boundaries and make sure everybody is a) comfortable talking about that and b) more or less on the same page. You might find some useful advice in this book: http://bit.ly/bc-ethical
Try making friends first! Get involved with LGBT groups on campus and in the Boston community to broaden your social circle AND your dating pool. LGBT people have historically had fewer opportunities to meet and court, so LGBT groups and bars are a good way to make connections — and find some elders who may have even better advice!
They can, of course… but they shouldn’t. BC policy prohibits it. (http://bit.ly/BCFacConduct)
University Health Services (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth) for you, please! IAAWNAD, but you don’t want to ignore potential infections in that region – and why suffer when you don’t have to?
The Kirkwood Tickler seems to have peaked in 2014, although there are still occasional claims about their exploits today,. The chances of you being a victim are relatively slim, and it’s not generally a good idea to spend your life scared of all the potential crimes that could happen to you (especially in a city). Maybe just try wearing socks to bed?
According to Urban Dictionary, it means really cool..But there are 6 other possible uses that they describe: bit.ly/FuegoMeans. I’d be careful using it – you’re playing with fire… unless you mean… FuegoDelCorazonBC… in which case you’re playing with fire!
IDK, but I’ll have my assistants look into it.
It may seem counterintuitive, but stop looking for one! Be yourself, pursue your passions, and be the best You that you can be, and you’ll be surprised how quickly a cute guy falls into your lap.
He’s not ready for you, or he’s just not that into you. He may be completely lovely, but I think you can find someone who wants to be with you.
Alas! The library has no control over the vending machines. They are serviced by vending companies who contract with the BC office called Auxiliary Services, who has steadily been working with those companies to have machines updated to accpet Eagle ID’s. If the machine should take some other form of payment (i.e., cash) but doesn’t, please call the toll-free service number on the machine.
