Maybe try something non-modern (Roman History) or non-Western (African Diaspora & The World). I’ve also heard good things about the new core fusion classes like Geographies of Empire and Making The Modern World.

Making us wait is kind of his thing, though, isn’t it?

Friends make it all seem easier and brighter. Thank you as well, friend!

Depends on the situation, but if you can really derail your opponent or set yourself up better it can totally be worth it.

Yes! For today, my favorite song is Long Live. I’m feeling sentimental <3

So glad you were able to enjoy it!

Soon there will be flowers all over campus!

Talk to your academic advisor and your professor right away. See what your options are to bring your grade up, and whether your graduation in May is really in jeopardy. I also recommend getting peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center bit.ly/BC-connors. And if your fears are realized, this is not the end of the world. I know many folks who have failed a class or not graduated on time who have gone on to do great things… and be great people.

Libraries like ours don’t do book bans except at gunpoint. Like most academic libraries what we buy is shaped primarily by what’s in the curriculum and what faculty are doing research on, and where there are gaps in the collection that’s usually the reason. 1) You always have the option of requesting an interlibrary loan for things we don’t have. Usually takes about a week, and if another library can loan it, we’ll get it for you. 2) We’re happy to take suggestions on books to add.

Maybe take a look at these repair guides and the forums at iFixit. If there isn’t a lot of damage you might be able to get it working yourself for cheap. The trick with small electronics is that the repair bill is often as much or more than a new device. https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Calculator

I can say with absolute certainty that it will be the 3 teams that aren’t going up. The long-shot teams are all out, so it’s a pretty level field now of perennial powerhouses.

Real Analysis. It was challenging but really satisfying. But I was at a college for walls, not here at BC.

We do not, but Eagle Print in Carney can help you. They will print on cardstock for about 30 cents per page. You can email them at Eagleprint@bc.edu

I hear you that you’re not addicted, but working on a healthier relationship with alcohol seems like worthwhile path. The Center for Student Wellness has resources on alcohol awareness, and you can schedule an appointment with a wellness coach: bit.ly/BCStudentWell

Here’s what art department staff said: “Thanks so much for the question! Sadly, we only have 14 working enlargers in the darkroom in the art department, and usually between 40-60 students taking photography classes at a time. The space is tight and we need to reserve it for those students, since the lab is only open for 20 hours a week. We have limited hours because it has to be staffed to prevent broken equipment, flooding, you name it, but also to provide assistance with students who need help with their printing. I encourage students to take our Photography 1 class, which is also offered this summer!”

If you’re concerned about your behaviors or thoughts, I recommend talking to someone about it. You could talk either to a student wellness coach (bit.ly/BCStudentWell) or a counselor at BC Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling), either of which would be confidential and supportive.

I recommend speaking to as many people in that area as you can: IOW, professors of psychology and neuroscience at BC and beyond, to ask what they did. Don’t be afraid of cold-calling (or emailing), but be sure to personalize them in some way: speak about their specializations & your interest in them. It’s probably somewhat akin to sending early-career fiction manuscripts for publication; one writer said “you’ve sent almost enough when you can wallpaper a room with rejections.” I’d also talk to the career center: bit.ly/BC-career.

There’s a reason they call it “sophomore slump”! I hope your junior year is all you want it to be.
