Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
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.
From all accounts, it’s tremendously rewarding. I recommend trying it out!
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
I believe .25 is what the experts are predicting!

Looks like Guy at the Front Door beat me to it!
Jess. But also, I’ve kind of always wished Paris had been an option…
This seems correct!
![Do you like this cat drawing: [drawing of a cat]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/AW092924-4.jpg)
I love that drawing of a very satisfied-looking cat! A banger indeed!
I am, thanks, and hope the same for you! I really like watching the leaves turn in the plaza, and having all of you back after the summer. Definitely a fan of fall.
Oh, my human friends tell me this can be a tough transitional time. Some tips: limit your time on the Socials; explore a new BC club; and connect/reconnect with your friends. Hugs.
Why thank you!
I’m not a canon lawyer, so I really can’t give advice. I will say that it’s awkward when the documents (most of Origen’s many works) you’d want to retry the case were destroyed 1600 years ago. The Church seems pretty comfortable with his place as an important Christian thinker, according to my friend, the New Catholic Encyclopedia, which is an official publication. https://bit.ly/3zsb2ck
Assuming you have already read Shakespeare to your heart’s content here are a few recs! If you like the Hamlet of it all, there’s “The Dead Fathers Club” by Matt Haig. If you like reading plays, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” and if you like laugh out loud funny, there’s “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” by Douglas Adams.
Like with all things it helps to take time for self-care, lean on friends and family, and do the best you can with what you have.
Nature is the most ethereal to me. A favorite flower or tree would be beautiful. If you have a favorite myth, or fairytale, or fantasy tale I hope you consider those for inspiration! I love a good fawn or a unicorn too.
“You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.” I love this poem. Thank you for thinking of me.

Very! I am also grateful. And a lot of both of those emotions come from getting to hear from you all!
There is a free Salem Heritage Trail, which takes you around Salem’s sights. I’ve also heard great things about Peabody Essex Museum and Wicked Good Books. As a side note, my assistants tell me that going to Salem during the month of October is too crowded to enjoy, but I’m sure it feels atmospheric for Halloween.
