Congrats Kofi Kingston and to your dad! World champs!
How do you do school work/be productive when you’re fighting depression? (am seeing a counselor!)
Be gentle with yourself. Try and control the things you can (food, sleep, physical comfort). Try and do your work ahead, in small chunks, so you don’t have deadline pressure coinciding with a bad day. The best you can do on any given day is still the best you can do, and that’s all anyone can ask.
When the librarian makes you feel bad for being in the library late….. :-( + kicks you out!

On Fridays and Saturdays, the library closes at 10:00 pm, but the first floor remains open until 2:00 am. Please note that these hours change during holidays, summer session and exam periods.

My roommate’s sister is very pretty…HELP
While your roommate’s sister may be pretty, roommate drama never is. As long as you’re living with this roommate, dating their sister is a risky decision that could lead to some serious roommate OR relationship issues. I’d wait til move out and/or graduation to make your move!
how to pass Anatomy + Physiology II?

Study hard, but also study effectively. If you are in danger of failing, please speak directly to your professor (at office hours or schedule a time with them as they specify on the course syllabus), and seek out peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) right now; tutoring ends May 2. Best of luck; you can do this!
What would happen if you got caught having sex on campus?
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?
What happens when you take plan B too many times?
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.
I don’t actually go here but I just wanted to stay this is cool!
Hey! Welcome to BC! I think you’re pretty cool too.
I was recently informed that I got “conkie donkied” this past weekend. What does this mean? Should I get checked?
I’d check Urban Dictionary and see if your circumstances match.
What is good? What is up?
Just hangin’ out. Hope you can stay a while.
Why do toddler farts smell so bad?
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.
Should I hook up with my freshman year hook up?
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.
Is it okay to sell out for money?
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.
We broke up tonight. You never know how it feels until you go through it. Hope the best for u.
<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!

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…
This guy I like wants me to participate in an orgy…
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
How to find a boyfriend? (I’m gay!!)
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!
Can students date professors?
They can, of course… but they shouldn’t. BC policy prohibits it. (http://bit.ly/BCFacConduct)
My pee hurts
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?
Kirkwood Tickler? Should my feet be scared?
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?
