Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It really very heavily depends on the context. There are lots of reasons why people might find you off-putting, some of which are under your control and some of which aren’t. Take a look at the things that are, and decide if this group of people is worth making adjustments for.
It is not a sure thing for anyone; BC needs to turn away so many students who are qualified and would make great eagles. I do hope you get accepted (but don’t despair; my helpers tell me that many did not get into their 1st choice, but had wonderful college experiences.)
I am not a poet, however many others who are have written poems you might like. Take a look at Seamus Heaney’s “Scaffolding,” Joy Harjo’s “For Keeps,” and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee?” And maybe, if none of these are quite what you want, you could write the poem you’re hoping for.
That sounds like a research question! There’s a research guide for US History that could be a useful starting point: https://libguides.bc.edu/ushistory. And the Reference Desk just across the lobby is staffed by librarians who can also help you answer this question.
I haven’t seen them. If you lost them in O’Neill, check the user services desk; they have a lost & found. No, but seriously, I’m sorry you lost your marbles.I hope you have some methods for regaining calm. If not, may I recommend a wellness coach? bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach
Sigh… it’s true, it’s harder to find time to see people when you work a 9-5, but you can make them a priority during weekend and vacation time. It helps if your family and some old friends are in the same geographic area: stay with family & arrange to see friends. It also helps if people are within easy driving distance, making weekend visits practical.
