The Wall

What would I do with the money…?

Spend as much time with them as you can and try to stay present in the moment so that you have good memories to look back on without any regret or what-ifs.

This is a GREAT question!! NOAA gives a concise answer: “Gases and particles in Earth’s atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.”

Absolutely. If you’re interested in learning Sanskrit, it’s the place. https://www.kuk.ac.in

You and most organisms that depend on sexual reproduction! If it’s consensual with all parties, it’s not my place to put up barriers. I’ll leave that to others.

It should not be difficult to score a free hoodie on either freecycle.org or buynothingproject.org/ or something of that ilk. It amazes and delights me how people are using groups like this to prevent waste and promote sharing.

My cousin the magic 8-ball says, as they often do, “Cannot predict now.”

I hear you! It can be so hard to lose a fictional character; they become a part of your life.

It would be! Space needs and new services are always under consideration in the library. I will pass on your suggestion to the Powers That Be (no, despite popular opinion, I don’t actually run this joint….)

I don’t know! To learn? To be loved, and to love? To ask the question, “Why am I here?” and seek an answer?

Do not cite the dark magic to me, I was there when it was written.

I’ve made your concerns known to the Office of Student Involvement. They said that CAB is a university program, not a club, and has as much budget oversight as any other university program. They also said they had a good laugh about the New England Classic protest prank.

You want to hang out and waste your life with him.

There are occasional merch giveaways, but that’s a right place, right time kind of thing. I’m sure if you ask nicely at the O’Neill Reference Desk, you just might score a BC Libraries pen, pencil, eraser, or magic magnifying bookmark.

I’m sure it makes it easier. But the trick is knowing ahead of time which elements should match–a task made much easier by hindsight. BUT! There is research on the topic, and here’s a helpful review of it all: https://bit.ly/marriage-research
