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’m a senior who’s been recently struggling with the reality that soon, my everyday will be a 9-5.

Hi, Wall--I'm a senior who's been recently struggling with the reality that soon, my everyday will be a 9-5 and I won't be able to frequently see my friends and loved ones...any thoughts/advice?

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.

I feel really guilty going here knowing it’s costing my family so much.

I feel really guilty going here knowing it's costing my family so much. What do you recommend I do?

Oh, I hope you can lose the guilt. I expect your family is so proud to have you at BC. It is just a brief moment in time; you have a lifetime of opportunities ahead to give back and pay it forward; to your family who has supported you, to your own kids if you have them, and to the larger world.

Hey Wall :)

Hey wall :) how can I make myself better at studying for subjects I don't like? Even if they're super important, I feel like I can never make myself put in the work...ex.Physics.
Hey wall 🙂 how can I make myself better at studying for subjects I don’t like? Even if they’re super important, I feel like I can never make myself put in the work…ex.Physics.

I found the best way to get motivated and keep up in my least favorite subjects was to find a study buddy and set a specific time to work together. You keep each other honest, and have someone to bat around ideas with.
