Job or Grad School?

Job or Grad School?

Everyone’s different, so it’s hard to give advice without knowing your specific situation or what kind of grad school you’re thinking about. But I will say, grad school is not “undergrad-plus”, it’s an entirely different thing which is largely self-directed. It can help to have a couple of years doing something else to clarify your thinking about what you want to do in grad school. But: talk to your advisor and the career center also before you choose, I’m just speaking from the experiences I’ve seen.

Is Arsenal winning the league?

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.

Cornell or BC?

Cornell or BC?

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.

Best things to see in Prague?

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.

I don’t know what to do after graduation.

You aren’t alone. Why not schedule a consultation with the wise folk at the Career Center to discuss your options (bit.ly/BC-career)? They can also help you connect with Eagle Exchange which is the alumni mentoring network – and BC has some of the most dedicated alum networking anywhere.

Why am I still single?

There’s no perfect answer to this question, but I hope you know that being single doesn’t mean there’s anything missing from your life or anything wrong with you. Try and appreciate your independence for the opportunities it allows you to learn more about yourself–your values, what makes you happy, and what you hope to find in a partner one day. When the right one comes along, you might be grateful for the time you had to get to know yourself.

My heart goes out to you. I do not know the situation, but almost certainly the reasons are about him and not about you. If you want to talk, BC Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) and Campus Ministry (bit.ly/bc-pastoral-counseling) are there for you.

Fundraising can seem daunting, but keep in mind you are asking for money for a good cause. And you will be riding some serious miles to prove it is important to you. For detailed advice, try the latest edition of Fundraising for dummies (no offense meant!) online from the library: https://bc-primo.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/l6ucgu/ALMA-BC51579070730001021

Are you in the woke mob?

Are you in the woke mob?

Yes. If by “woke” you mean treating everyone mindfully with respect, which by its nature necessitates examining one’s own behavior for biases & inequity, and supporting those who have endured injustices. “Mindfully” is the key word; people can criticize reflexively, such as when they groundlessly accuse someone of being racist in order to feel good about their own virtue or similarly use “woke mob” as a pejorative term.
