When will I know that my major is right for me? ?

Knowing you have the right major can be hard! Here’s an article that may help: https://bit.ly/right-major-11. But keep in mind intro courses might not be a good indicator. Make sure to sign up for a more advanced course (if you have the pre-req’s) with a professor with a good rep before a final judgement. Definitely talk to your advisor, too. And consider visiting the Career Center: bit.ly/BC-career. Hope you find your niche!

How to get over your ex?

How to get over your ex of 5 years?
How to get over your ex of 5 years?

Give yourself time to grieve, time to be angry, time to be yourself outside of a relationship. Hang out with friends. Have the foods you like. Do some of the things your ex wasn’t into. Five years is longer than lots of marriages, so don’t expect it to be like flipping a switch. Some people can do that, others can’t. Take care of yourself, and best wishes.

I feel so embarrassed when I’m bubbling words

I feel so embarrassed when I’m bubbling words because I’m nervous. Since English is my second language. I feel so bad when I make a fool of myself when speaking with natives.

Keep in mind that a) English is remarkably difficult, owing to irregular spellings, thousands of words derived from other languages, and speech full of contractions & idioms that don’t necessarily appear in standard written English, and b) those native speakers probably don’t have native fluency in another language. Learning a language is all about forging ahead through errors. Please keep making errors! It’s how you’ll improve. (BTW… I think you might have meant “bungling,” not “bubbling,” but I really like the sound of bubbling!)

Imagine yourself at 60, distracted for a moment from work or grandchildren by something that reminds you of that guy you were with briefly in your youth. For a few minutes you’re lost in a reverie, and then a grandchild’s laughter brings you back to your present joys. IOW, you have many joys in your future bigger yet than your present sadness, as all-encompassing as it feels now.

If it is a true passion for you, it might be worth considering, even if leaving your friends is hard. Know that your major is not your career, though, in most cases, if that is your concern.. Can you take related courses at BC to satisfy your interest? Consider talking it over with your academic advisor.
