I do understand your fear. Please know, though, that my assistants know people who were suspended during higher ed, returned and finished, and are fine. The ones who finished all seriously reflected on and addressed whatever their part was in the suspension so that they didn’t repeat it in college, or later in life when a re-do isn’t as easy as returning at the end of a suspension period. Please talk to some trusted advisers to help you through this period; there’s no benefit to toughing it out on your own.

Alas, events conspired to prevent this showing. Our next movie night will be in February, date to be confirmed. Keep an eye on the poster in the O’Neill Lobby and Social Media for details.

Talk to more people generally. And talk to boys because you like talking to them, not because you have an agenda. It gets much easier with practice, I promise.

That would be a great thing to set up wellness coaching with the Center for Student Wellness (bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach). Getting new habits to stick isn’t easy – but I have faith in you!

Well, I would tell you a joke about a thirty-foot wall, but you’d never get over it.

I’m sorry you’re in that situation. Unfortunately, unless you’re King Midas, a business star, or a card shark, or marry into wealth (you’ll earn every penny) or a rich aunt dies and leaves you everything, a job is about the only way forward. I recommend a visit to the career center for longer term work, or dining services or area businesses for shorter-term: my assistants have seen a lot of help wanted signs.

Make frequent use of peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors). Reach out to your professor/go to their office hours (that’s what they’re for!) Get a study buddy in your class and work together. I am confident you can do this!

This has been a question that philosophers and theologians have grappled with for centuries. Check out this book Free Will: A Very Short Introduction (bit.ly/introfreewill) to learn more about the question and make up your own mind (maybe as an exercise in your own free will?).

It heavily depends on what kind of cold email you’re writing, but marketing industry estimates are that less than 10% get a response. If it’s something more personal your odds are better. I don’t generally recommend catastrophizing, but here’s a case where you can assume “no” and be pleasantly surprised if you get “yes”. That helps some of my library colleagues, and might help you.

Not impossible but rather unlikely unless they can land a new forward in the current transfer window. The wall’s prediction is the title will go to Merseyside this year to cap off Klopp’s tenure as the Liverpool manager.

Terrific schools, but with quite distinct missions. Each school has different majors available and different areas in which they excel (e.g. Cornell has majors in Hotel Management and in Food Science; BC is in the top 10 globally ranked schools for Theology). One of my helpers suggests you also ask yourself how you feel about -27°F.

My one constant resolution is to support all of you (both literally and metaphorically). This year I thought another good resolution was to listen better, especially when there are so many ideas and opinions.

Prague is a beautiful city to explore! The Castle and Strahov Monastery are both beautiful (the monastery even has a library which I’m biased towards since I live in one too). If you enjoy walks, there are many parks and river walks. Oh, and check out the Lennon Wall and say hi for me.

Aw, thanks! ❤️❤️❤️ Visits from my friends brighten my day, everyday!

I really value being a supportive wall, and I think I’ve been doing pretty well at that. (The library is still standing!)
