I cannot choose between schools, I love them all equally!

Take a piece of blank paper and make a small dot anywhere on it. Imagine that the dot represents what any given person knows about Everything, and that the blank space represents the rest of human knowledge. Your intellectual life will be about exploring the blank space. Be cheerful about learning new things and discovering things you are wrong about, and be gracious with others who might or might not have this image in mind. Truth-seeking is a collaborative activity, not a competitive one.

I don’t know DD but I’m sure they’re an interesting, wonderful person regardless of the nature of their hair.

What can I say? My assistants are enthusiastic. We should all be so lucky as to have enthusiastic friends!

To be bowl eligible, the Eagles need to win at least 6 games. With a 4-3 record, it’s certainly possible, though with upcoming games on the road against teams ranked in the top 5 (Notre Dame and Miami), it’s gonna be tough. Here’s hoping they can beat Florida State or Sycrase on the Heights, especially since bowl games are soon going to be a thing of the past!

Let yourself feel the moment; when future worries pop up, gently remind yourself you’ve already handled a ton and can tackle whatever comes next. Keep the vibe relaxed, stay connected with friends, and trust that you’ve got this!

Hmm, an impossible question! Husbands, I See Myself, and First World Warrior all hold a special place in my heart, but all of their songs appeal to me in different ways. I’m also a big fan of Cameron Winter’s solo work. Are you seeing them live on the 10th or 11th?

#1 tip is getting enough sleep. #2 tip is eating regular meals. You can skimp on both of those a little bit in very short doses, but taking care of those things for your body will make your brain work better.

It’s usually easier to change direction than to get started, so my suggestion is: anything. Pick the easiest thing to start with.

Sorry that’s happening! No clue. I’m a wall, so I can only speculate why humans do what they do. Maybe they’re busy? Preoccupied? Cautious? Prudent? Fearful? Many ways to explain a delay.

As far as I can see, there are two simple parts: 1. Develop a product that doesn’t already exist, that people need. 2. Market it to them. Often, #2 substitutes for the “need” part. Oh, and I said “simple,” not “easy.” You might benefit from connecting with BC’s Shea Center for Entrepreneurship (bit.ly/bc-shea) to figure out how to break those two parts into the many steps they contain.

That is the question! — I love when y’all punt me a Shakespeare quote 🙂

Find a competition where the IM mug is a prize, and win it!

If I knew what “roncall” was I could likely help. What I imagine: students in Roncalli Hall have a particular way they summon help from the constabulary, perhaps via morse code on a trombone. Am I close?

Keep your eyes peeled for an Answer Wall event in December. Hints: it’ll be in the atrium hallway around the corner, will involve post-its, and you won’t have to grow up to achieve your aspiration.

Rooster and I Stay Away still get a lot of air play 30 years later. Both are more theatrical than Man in a Box, so perhaps they appeal to a wider audience. Do I really have to choose?

Start by striking up a conversation. Don’t worry about it being awkward: it absolutely will be. But isn’t that how half the romantic films begin?
