And then suddenly, I bump into youuuuuu!!!!! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY! Oh how I love this song. Now I am singing it. To myself. ALSO notice how if you JUST play *Kristoff’s* part, his piece has some minor chords… oh the foreshadowing… I love it.

It can be so challenging. Do get all the help you can from the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career). I wish you all the best.

Why not try asking? Sometimes being direct even if it is awkward is worth it rather than wondering.

If encouraging self-respect is your aim, embarrassing them probably isn’t the most effective motivator.

Thomas Carlyle called economics the dismal science, so you’re not the only one to find economics hard. But I recommend a book called “The Soulful Science” which might provide some encouragement. Also making liberal use of peer tutoting at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) can help make economics less difficult.

All majors are challenging if you approach them honestly. It’s more a question of what kind of work you find enjoyable. If you’ve already done Core, try taking an upper level class and see if it suits you.

I wrote a haiku for you in your hour of need:

persevere my friend

the semester marches on

the wall cares for you

Love this question! NOAA gives a concise answer for why the sky is blue generally: “Gases and particles in Earth’s atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.”

Not recommending it, and this list is for a slightly different purpose, but here’s a classic set of options for you: https://bit.ly/bc-50-ways

It’s relative, but I have heard that The Chocolate Bar in Stokes is the place to go for true coffee bliss.

Why are you so ungrateful?

Grattitude is a wonderful concept… but bad coffee is not! ☕☕☕

Amazing. Iconic. She really is the music industry.

I feel like May 19th would be a really good day for Ivy to be a surprise song.

Maybe Monty Python can help you decide: bit.ly/philosopher-song. Or if you mean it more seriously, I highly recommend browsing The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy table of contents: plato.stanford.edu to see just how many aren’t from Europe. I’m partial to Plato: “…like someone who takes refuge under a little wall from a storm of dust or hail driven by the wind, the philosopher—seeing others filled with lawlessness—is satisfied if he can somehow lead his present life free from injustice and impious acts and depart from it with good hope, blameless and content.”

I like to think the best of folks unless proven otherwise, and since there is so much disagreement, I’m gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.

I’ve always been very intrigued by a unique study spot up on O’Neill Level 4, row 268, in the Spanish Lit call number range (take a look!). But find your best spot with this quiz: libguides.bc.edu/animal

I don’t see anything on tap right now, but if you’re into ska, here’s a thread with some other currently performing bands you might like: bit.ly/r-slash-ska.

Don’t overthink it, and don’t count yourself out before you run the experiment. I’m rooting for you!

But… I haven’t gone anywhere. I’m right here!

If I had fingers I’d cross them! Good luck!

I’d like to travel more. I get out sometimes for conferences, but it’d be nice to go out West for a while, see some pretty rock walls.
