It’s a moving, powerful account of the holocaust. I wonder if “like” is the right word. Deep, deep respect. I’m glad I’ve read it.

Boston: fall leaves, snow, spring, picture-postcard towns, Dunk’s, occasional Nor’easters and hurricanes, and colonial & industrial history. LA: warm or hot all year, surfing in cold water, In-N-Out Burgers, potential earthquakes, wildfires, and floods, and show-biz. Shared: nearby skiing & nearby whales & sharks.

There’s so many different variables to balance when choosing a major. If I had to choose, I would struggle with choosing because there’s so many subjects I am interested in. I recommend talking with people you trust and making a pro / con list. Another exercise that could be helpful is to define for yourself what “right” means. Is “right” something you like to study? Something that will lead to a career path you are interested in? Or something else entirely?

Sorry about that, it’s an under-appreciated worst thing. 1) Feel your feelings. This is a kind of grief, so you might be sad or angry or a bunch of things. Give yourself space to feel that. 2) Take no for an answer. If you can be friends with them, great, but that might not feel OK to you. That’s fine. But the Hollywood storyline where you make them change their mind is not a good model here–IRL it’s at least borderline stalkery. 3) Live your life enthusiastically and you will meet many more lovely people, some of whom you’ll click with.

I’m so sorry that’s happening! It must be really frustrating. But you don’t have to go it alone. Tutors at the Connors Family Learning Center can really help. A lot. bit.ly/BC-connors
