Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Well, there’s more than one variable controlling that ๐ Seriously, though, if the studying is stressing you out, consider peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors), right downstairs.
Aristotle can be tough, partly because some of what we have of his is kinda like lecture notes. I’m told he’s much clearer in Greek…but assuming that isn’t feasible, here are a few things you could try. 1) Try a different translation–we have lots of all of his works. Sometimes that can make a confusing passage make more sense. In addition to reading the Aristotle, you could 2) Try reading something that tries to summarize Aristotle, like this Very Short Introduction to Ancient Philosophy. bit.ly/bc-vsi, or a general history of western philosophy. 3) Mortimer Adler’s Aristotle for Everybody was written for exactly this reason. bit.ly/bc-aristotle-everybody.
It’s hard to say, as with anyone. Here’s a short biography that might provide some context: bit.ly/bc-plato-bio
You’re so sweet! <3 u2
Two good sources for more information on making this decision are your academic advisor and the BC Career Canter – one of their Career Coaches would be happy to schedule a consultation for you (bit.ly/BCCareerCtrGradSchool). Best of luck whatever you decide!
It all depends on my mood. I love The Acoustics, Against the Current, the Bostonians, the Common Tones, the Dynamics, the Heightsmen, and the Sharps, and when I’m feeling more Renaissance, the Madrigals. Anyone interested can find some recordings here: bit.ly/BC-acapella.
![Fourth floor next to the grouped cubicles/Elevator side there's a horrible clicking noise, like there's a mice-[crossout]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/aw091718-9.jpg)
Thanks for the update on possible small furry quadruped guests. I prefer larger bipedal guests, who don’t tend to chew on wiring. (It tickles.) I will pass along your observations to those who can do something about the situation.
Honestly, I can’t keep up with them. But if I had my back up against the wall – right, I guess I do – I’d vote for Kourtney’s son, Mason…
Smelling bad could just be a result of a casual approach to hygiene – IOW they don’t shower as often as the norm, or don’t use as many products to obscure body odor. I’ve known people with sensitivities to a lot of those products & can’t use them. OTOH, if it’s really strong, perhaps there’s a contributing medical condition. Tread carefully: scent is linked primally to feelings of self-consciousness. Maybe The Naked Roommate: And 107 Other Issues You Might Run Into in College, by Harlan Cohen (O’Neill Library LB2343.3 .C62 2017) has some sage advice.
Happiness research is totally a thing. We have many books which can guide you on that path; try searching the catalog for happiness in the subject. And here are some practical tips from the New York Times: bit.ly/WellHappy
Certo!
To be honest, I donโt have a family portrait. We walls all take our jobs very seriously so never have the opportunity to get together. (Can you imagine what would happen if we took off for a family reunion?!) Except for those I am closest to I donโt really see my BC relatives wall-to-wall. This brief clip, however, shows some of the family on the outside: bit.ly/BCaerial. They are quite elegant, arenโt they?
You could start with US News & World Report rankings of Latin American History programs: bit.ly/grad-lat-am, but even better, because grad school quality is all about which scholars are where, would be conversations with Hispanic Studies faculty here at BC: bit.ly/BC-hispanic-studies. I’m sure they know the inside scoop about who’s where, where fellowship & TA-ship stipends are available, and which programs are growing & which shrinking.
IDK, but maybe you can submit this observation to dining services (bit.ly/BCDiningComment) and prompt a friendly rivalry between Lyons and Lower kitchen staffs: who’s got the best oatmeal?
BC offers GRE prep for a fee (bit.ly/BCGREPrep). There is also free and fee-based test prep material on the ETS website (bit.ly/ETSGREPrep).
No. The aims of modern feminism, judging by the 3,420 results in a catalog search using “feminism” as a subject (bit.ly/BCLIB-feminism), cannot be summed up so briefly.
It is sad that we are still reflecting on that question and I wish I could provide the one and perfect answer. Perhaps the best advice for us all is found in the song (bit.ly/whereisthelove2016): โTake control of your mind, just meditate And let your soul just gravitate to the love So the whole world celebrate itโ <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Though I am certainly many things, I must admit that I am far from omnipotent. When it comes to influencing BC’s Dining Services, I am quite certain the collective voices of disgruntled students have far more sway than my own humble requests. Please make your collective wishes known directly to Dining Services: bit.ly/BCDiningComment
The start of the fall semester, while very exciting, can also be exhausting! If you’ve covered the bases (eating well, exercising regularly, getting at least 7 hours of sleep – all so easy to do in college, right?), and feel you’re still fatigued, maybe visit University Health Services (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth). Also check out options with Ofc. of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-health-promo)
