What restaurants should I try before leaving BC this semester?
What restaurants should I try before leaving BC this semester?

I had my esteemed BC Libraries colleagues answer this for me, as my diet consists entirely of post-it notes. Here are their gustatory responses.

  • Seoul Soulongtang is AMAZING
  • Thonglor!
  • Gyro City
  • Brookline Lunch
  • Jinny’s pizza in Newton Centre
  • Brighton Bodega
  • Citrus & Salt
  • Hopewell Bar & Kitchen
  • Hokkaido Ramen Santouka
  • Asmara
  • Bakey!!!! It has the best bagels in Boston, you don’t need to have them toasted. And, the best Babka! The Brookline location is in walking distance to the Booksmith as a bonus!
  • Rino’s in East Boston. It was on Guy Fieri’s show, Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, and makes pasta fresh in-house. http://www.rinosplace.com/
  • Pizzeria Regina in the North End (especially if you like pepperoni pizza)
  • Oleana (134 Hampshire St, Cambridge, MA 02139)
  • Lee’s Burger Place
  • Fire + Ice
  • Thonglor (Great Thai right here in Brighton)
  • Gyro City on Chestnut Hill Avenue
  • MDM Noodles on Washington Street
  • Blue Ribbon BBQ in Newton
  • Boston Shawarma House of Kebab in Newton
  • Dumpling Daughter
  • It’s a trek via the T (Blue Line – Orient Heights) but Melodias is worth it!
  • Sophia’s Grotto, Roslindale

Why is Logic + Comp SO HARD

I hear ya. Seemingly every major has at least one course that feels a bit crushing. Is this the one for CS… ? I strongly recommend checking in with your professor and also taking advantage of peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center bit.ly/BC-connors. Best wishes for success!

I feel like I’m wrapped in my own shell

I feel like I'm wrapped in my own shell How can I open this shell?

It can be as simple as saying hi to someone, or even smiling at someone walking by. Answering honestly or with more than the most brief answer can be another way as well. Most importantly, know people are interested in getting to know you (I certainly am!).

Job or Grad School?

Job or Grad School?

Everyone’s different, so it’s hard to give advice without knowing your specific situation or what kind of grad school you’re thinking about. But I will say, grad school is not “undergrad-plus”, it’s an entirely different thing which is largely self-directed. It can help to have a couple of years doing something else to clarify your thinking about what you want to do in grad school. But: talk to your advisor and the career center also before you choose, I’m just speaking from the experiences I’ve seen.

I don’t know what to do after graduation.

You aren’t alone. Why not schedule a consultation with the wise folk at the Career Center to discuss your options (bit.ly/BC-career)? They can also help you connect with Eagle Exchange which is the alumni mentoring network – and BC has some of the most dedicated alum networking anywhere.

Why am I still single?

There’s no perfect answer to this question, but I hope you know that being single doesn’t mean there’s anything missing from your life or anything wrong with you. Try and appreciate your independence for the opportunities it allows you to learn more about yourself–your values, what makes you happy, and what you hope to find in a partner one day. When the right one comes along, you might be grateful for the time you had to get to know yourself.

“Is It Over Now?” is a recent favorite! Trying to switch it up so that the answer isn’t just ivy every time this is asked 🙂

My GF cheated on me.

My GF cheated on me. She seems remorseful. I forgive her, but I'm not sure I could ever fully trust her again. Should I give her another chance?

I’m in general in favor of second chances, but in this case it’s much more complicated. You have your finger on the issue, trust. You can’t have a lasting relationship without it. Our collection is a little more oriented toward helping future therapists learn how to help couples with this, but it might help you to look at a few things from this list at Boston Public Library: https://bit.ly/bc-infidelity. Because you’re at BC you’re eligible for a library card there, but you can also use our interlibrary loan service to request copies of what you want. My condolences, that is the hardest thing. And good luck to you as well.

You don’t have to achieve a state of perfection – people continue to grow throughout life. If you are willing to be open and keep the other person’s best interests in mind, you are ready. But maybe take things slow if you are unsure.
