I need a gf
Favorite Dark Academia read?
The Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern, and The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E. Schwab are three of my recent favorites. If you’re looking for more of a classic dark academia vibe, I’d check out Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Frankenstein may put you in the mood.
How do I ensure my research project is unethical?
I mean, don’t do that. But I suppose you could use the Boston College IRB’s guidelines as an anti-template. You could also watch season 1 of Batman: The Animated Series, where there are lots of profs at Gotham University doing unethical things.
My friends been having this debate on “if there’s a definite front of Gasson”
In the 1930s, Gasson was oriented towards Linden Lane. At that time, the only other major buildings were Bapst Library, St. Mary’s, and Devlin Hall (View: bit.ly/bc-campus-1930). With the two grand staircases facing towards St. Mary’s, Linden Lane, Bapst, and the main entrance, that was likely thought of as the front. Since then, the campus has expanded to the point that one side faces O’Neill and lower campus, another faces Fulton and the Stokes Quad, and the other faces the College St. entrance and upper campus. It’s central! A front for each part of campus.
When are we getting boyfriends?
Arranged marriages really haven’t been a thing in the US for quite a while, but one does see some appeal occasionally. I think you’re great, and that good things will happen for you.
Can you help me get married?
I’m afraid I can’t help you with that, but I suggest finding someone whose interests and values are similar to yours and whose personality you enjoy. Spend time getting to know them and see where it leads.
Why doesn’t she want me?
She doesn’t need a reason. And I know it’s hard, but don’t take it personally. Cheerfully go forward and look for someone who wants you the way you want them.
What do I do to approach some I’m interested in?
Just say “hi” and start a conversation about literally anything other than how attractive you think they are.
Who is the better SG, Kobe or Dwayne Wade?
That sounds like a great conversation starter for serious basketball fans, because a good case can be made for either.
Who is the better Colombian musician between Juanes, Feid, & Shakira?
Oh, this is tough. Are we talking about singing, playing instruments, producing? Regardless, there’s a strong case for any of them, though I think we can all agree Shakira is the best dancer.
How to get out of the sophomore slump? i feel like I’m just coasting right now
Oh dear. I’ve heard about this happening. You are not alone. One of my helpers has the following suggestions to get you through: 1) explore a campus club for pure fun and social connections–perhaps one that is a bit out of your comfort zone. 2) Get off campus on the weekends; ride the T and explore Brookline, Boston, Cambridge, etc. 3) Allow yourself to have some downtime–it’s okay. Have a wonderful year!
How do I stop myself from eating paper from the books I borrow? (tasty)
This sounds like something a medical professional can advise on much better than me!
Is taking Gen Chem for fun a good idea (it’s not required) :)
My library assistants all love learning new things, which is why they work in a library. Why not learn some chemistry? If not now, when? But talk it over with your advisor to make sure you’ve got enough room for your major, minor, & core courses.
Lonergan for Heisman.
Sure!
Ronaldo is the GOAT!
If you mean Cristiano Ronaldo, he does have a claim to that title based on titles won and career stats, through Lionel Messi, Pele, and Diego Maradona all have strong cases in each of their favors.
How do I keep getting rejected from so many business & finance clubs? Got into BC this past year RD into CSOM w/o connections but if my profile is so “competitive” then why does this keep happening?
That sounds really disappointing, and I have no answer for why it keeps happening. With groups, sometimes there’s more going on than simple qualifications. Maybe it would help to get to know some members?
How on earth do people actually go through with gender re-alignment surgery, like you can’t have a baby?
There are many ways for people to feel affirmed in their gender. Gender affirmation surgery is just one pathway and refers to a wide range of care that supports folks in feeling and being authentically themselves. For people who do want to become parents, even after gender affirming care, there are many different ways that can take place, biologically or otherwise.
There are a number of books that have more information on the history of gender affirming surgery, including “A History of Transgender Medicine: From Margins to Mainstream” (bit.ly/bcl-history-trans-healthcare) and “Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource by and for Transgender Communities” (bit.ly/bcl-trans-selves).
Help I seriously think I live with Scrooge McDuck
Talking about money can be really challenging, but it sounds like it might be time to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with your roommate. Being transparent about your economic situation, about how their choices to not contribute to furnishings are impacting you financially and emotionally, and setting a limit to what you’re willing to buy could be helpful starting points for that conversation.
