Possibly TMJ (bit.ly/mayo-tmj). Visit a dentist to see if you’re a candidate for a customized night guard. You might be a grinder (aka Bruxism: bit.ly/mayo-bruxism). One of my helpers neglected to wear her night guard and the TMJ got so bad she couldn’t open her mouth wide enough to eat a bagel.
Here’s what UCS said in response to a similar question in January: “While UCS is staffed at levels at least equal to most of our peer institutions, and is always available to students in crisis that day, there is still the reality that students seeking ongoing longer term therapy may have to wait up to a couple of weeks for an appointment. We are piloting a new initiative offering same day consultation appointments for students seeking to address an identified problem in a rapid access fashion. We hope that this will help more accurately and quickly meet student mental health needs. We are always interested in feedback of all sorts, and strive to improve our service to the BC community.”

If this person is part of your inner friends group then I would suggest addressing the behavior. If not, let it go. I’ll leave you with advice given to Justin Halpern (Sh*t My Dad Says), “Don’t focus on the one guy who hates you. You don’t go to the park and set your picnic down next to the only pile of dog sh*t.”
I suppose sometimes celebrities want some peace and quiet. But yeah… facts.
Be with who you want to be with. I hope you can eventually find a guy who’s as supportive & fun as your girls, though.

Sigh… I’ve heard from many humans that food is a delight, but also kind of tricky. I have a big appetite for post-its, so I kind of understand. But if you feel like you’re overeating, or feel guilty after you eat, maybe a conversation with the campus nutritionist would be a good idea: bit.ly/bc-nutrition.

If you and your partner communicate openly about both of your wants and needs, I guarantee you’ll both find the relationship more fulfilling. If you can’t talk about sex, what else are you not talking about?
The Reading Room is a collaborative study space and traditionally, collaborative study spaces can be noisy. If you need a quiet place to study, the entire 5th floor is a quiet zone. However, if there is a group of students in the Reading Room who are unusually noisy or disruptive, you can let someone at the Circulation Desk know and they will address the issue.
According to the Use of Alcohol at Boston College policy, “The possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages in any common or public area of the campus, or in a campus facility, is prohibited.” The only exception to this rule is if the library is hosting an authorized event where alcohol is served; and if that were the case, you would only be allowed to consume alcohol at the specific room where the event is taking place. Additionally, the policy states that: “Those students who are 21 years of age or older may keep limited quantities of alcohol, for personal consumption only, in their residence hall rooms, apartments, or suites.” Full policy: bit.ly/bc-alcohol.
If you can live with your differences and you can’t live without her, give her space to do things she enjoys. If you can’t live with those differences or you can live without her, move on & find someone with more common ground.
Here’s a good list of contemporary Croatian poets & their published works: bit.ly/croatian-poets. We don’t have much Croatian poetry in BC Libraries, but we do have a bilingual anthology: Love Lyric and Other Poems of the Croatian Renaissance, edited, translated & annotated by John S. Miletich.

No, but you might be in a hole for referring to a person you spent time with as “some female.”
It doesn’t seem to just be his putting, his entire game has been out of whack this year. If you watch him closely, you’ll sometimes notice he’s not himself – he’s quiet and antsy. At this point, I wouldn’t work on his stroke, I’d work on his confidence and getting that nervous energy out before he settles down to make his putts.
IDK, but here’s more info about Rape Aggression Defense, for all who are interested: bit.ly/BC-RAD
Yes, UHS can help you with that, and with treatment if you do have herpes – give them a call at 617-552-3225 to set up an appointment.
Living in close quarters does tend to raise that risk. But there are ways to keep it to a minimum – check out this list: bit.ly/GetSickLess Some of the obvious, but powerful ones: wash your hands often, get your shots, be careful with food handling, and avoid unsafe sex.
I will have my assistants look into this question. In the meantime, it sounds like a good thing to take up with UGBC (ugbc.org).
Update 5/2/19: Dining Services says, “Dining Services always has food available during break but some of our locations are closed and our hours of service are reduced based on the decrease in campus population.”
For classwork, I am duty-bound as a wall in a library to provide resources but not answers. (It’s also generally wise to go straight to the source in order to preserve accuracy.) Best sources in this case would likely be UCS (bit.ly/bc-counseling) and/or the Dean of Students office (bit.ly/BC-DOS).
