I’m a wall; I’m neither religious or non-religious. I can tell you I care so deeply about our BC community – including you. And I feel uplifted by everyone every day. Thank you for being part of this community!
Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I recommend making an appointment with the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career). They have guided thousands of BC students with the same question. Also… for most career paths, you don’t have to make a final decision about it right now; changing careers is common.
The US State Department keeps a list of languages by how difficult they tend to be for English speakers to learn: https://bit.ly/bc-language. The best way to learn is more about what’s best for you, and what your goals are. You could take classes at BC. Some people react well to private tutoring. You could try apps like Duolingo or Babbel. The real key is persistence. 15 minutes a day is way better than the same total time once a week.
I think it is a solid plan to dream your dreams all the time, but I think that’s not what you’re asking. Sleep is so important! If you’re tired all the time it’s hard to do anything well. You might try checking out a few of BC’s suggestions about how to sleep better: https://bit.ly/3g6fdQX
I really want to say it’s this one: https://nyti.ms/3rMIbb6. But actually my helpers do a thing with Post-Its stuck to a Word template. The font is Courier, which is absolutely a standard typewriter font.
My Library helpers and their colleagues have some baked goods that they would recommend as the best (click the link to get recipes: links can be found here: bit.ly/bestfallbakedgoods):
I don’t know, but if you’re concerned, perhaps you should arrange a meeting with a psychologist with a specialty in learning. If you’re not sure how to go about that, contact Kathy Duggan at the Connors Family Learning Center: kathleen.duggan@bc.edu.
My Library helpers and their colleagues have a few favorite poems to share. (To find links to some of the poems, visit this link: bit.ly/favoritepoems):
Don’t dismiss loving yourself! You’re awesome! But if you’re having difficulty moving on, or depressed, it would probably help to talk to someone, such as a counselor at BC’s Counseling Services: bit.ly/BC-counseling
Sadness and joy both come to mind. But really, all emotions are pure. Sometimes one experiences several at a time, but that doesn’t mean they’re not pure, just mixed. Also, sometimes people aren’t really aware what emotions they’re experiencing, but that doesn’t mean they’re not experiencing them or that they’re not pure. Emotions are what they are. It’s how we respond that matters.
We’re talking to them about it, but at the moment they want to charge us more for it than for the other two combined…and both are pricey. We do have access to it through our databases though, so you can use this link to search for things you’ve seen on the web, or to browse through each day’s issue: https://bit.ly/bc-globe
