Welcome back, for the final time, to “Hearts on the Hill.” Here we are — our last lap around the sun. I warned you a couple of weeks ago that this last edition would come with a certain sentimentality that might be off-putting to my underclassmen readers. I’ll insert that reminder again here, for those like me who are avoiding thinking about the passage of time.
Watching Lucy Dacus perform at the MGM Music Hall at Fenwayfelt like a walk through a museum on a rainy day. Both meditative and energetic, the performance brought to life the dynamism ofDacus’ newest album, “Forever Is a Feeling.”
Admittedly, I am the first to roll my eyes and scoff at literature of the ‘don’t worry, be happy’ genre. There is nothing more vexing than being told to calm down during moments of intense anxiety.

We are at a turning point in the academic year. Today we are experiencing weather above 60 degrees for the first time since fall, and spring is officially 10 days away. If you’re starting to feel a looming sense of the passage of time, you are not alone. Perhaps I am projecting my own reality. As someone 10 weeks away from graduation, I’m choosing to distract myself from that fact by immersing myself in the complex and fascinating details of your love lives.

Gentle Reader, Welcome back to another Friday on the hill. You have survived the most trying week of the year for the yearning and heart-broken.
