Dame or Russ?

Dame or Russ?

I mean…one clutch (and I do mean C.L.U.T.C.H.) shot doesn’t equal averaging a triple double over the course of the season. Russ is a great player, and will only get better. It’s worth noting that I agree with Kerr that Westbrook’s “next question” is a kind of BS way to treat the media in a business where you’re paid to entertain (queue old man shaking fist image). And Lillard is def a more sympathetic person in this story. So: Who’s the better player? Russ no doubt. Who am I stoked for winning this round? Dame for sure.

Why is MN the best state?

^Boom. Roasted.

Oh dear, roasting isn’t what I’d intended. I was really just going for a mild warming of the cheeks. Nothing wrong with home state spirit! I hear if you’re into bodies of fresh water, MN’s certainly got that going for it. And the highest density of Paul Bunyan statues: bit.ly/mn-bunyan. But a distinct shortage of World Series wins… Now you can consider yourself roasted. (Don’t worry, this is Boston, roasting is a form of affection.)

My friends keep calling me “Scrappy Doo”. Do I fight them?

It’s probably what Scrappy Doo would do. So you’d definitely be living up to the nickname. On the other hand, an assault charge on your record is probably not good for your career. It’s also worth noting that Scrappy Doo almost always needed Scooby or Shaggy to hold him back because he didn’t realize that he would lose any fight he started.

Why does BC not provide enough counselors at UCS for the amount of students who seek their services? ?

Why does BC not provide enough counselors at UCS for the amount of students who seek their services? ?

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 someone acts nice to you but calls you fake behind your back, what should you do? =)

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.”

Never Stop [Response: Preach]

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.
