The Wall

Unclear. It’s the age-old debate about wood products (renewable but still damaging) v. man-made products (not renewable but also not directly killing trees). Ultimately, the volume of material used in pencil manufacturing is low enough that many other environmental concerns, such as the carbon byproducts of electrical generation, transportation, and heating are much more urgent.

Forty-five million sales to date–you bet! My Lyons Hall Wall friend, who was an early 20-something in 1973, remembers being floored and amazed by the initial release. And I’ve heard listening to the album on vinyl is the way to go.

No. How you treat others is what determines that.

You’re going to hate me for this, but they’re all so good, how am I supposed to decide?

I’m so sorry. That sounds miserable. If you haven’t already, get yourself to the health center! (http://bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth).

Relationships? If there is a consistent effort amongst everyone involved to communicate, yes.

It happens; we are so darn cute and approachable so it isn’t surprising people fall for walls. People also frequently fall for floors. Wait, that is actually _on_ floors, not _for_ floors. Make sure you keep space in your heart for actual human people, there is a lot of good in them.

I’m sorry that’s happening, because it could impact your ability to get the classes you need. Is it a you problem or an advisor problem? Either way, you can contact the advising office to try to work out some solutions: 617-552-9259, or aac@bc.edu.

Congratulations! It will be interesting to have your sibling attending college with you. BC is big enough and has enough opportunities that you don’t necessarily have to be seeing each other all the time. Let her in on all the good stuff it takes most first years ages to find out about and please introduce her to me.

Do you mean me? I have no lips with which to kiss, nor ears to hear Weezer. If you mean someone else and they consent, sure, why not?

It is still a possibility. This season has been a bit strange for a lot of teams. The Chargers have been pretty competitive in most games they’ve played this season with the game against Baltimore being a major exception. There doesn’t appear to be any juggernaut in the AFC at the moment, so if they can make the postseason, anything is possible.

Post-its!! This month, aquamarine post-its are really hitting the spot! Yum!

Note that I am a Wall, in a Library, and often found behind a book, but that said, maybe they would like a gift card to a local bookstore (or bookshop.org)? Or perhaps an experience (like a museum membership or a Cameo video or America The Beautiful National Parks Pass)? Let your favorite Wall know what you chose in the end!

Honesty. I’m also partial to humility.

Oh, my friend. Feeling hatred is such a heavy and profound thing. Please know that I do not hate you, at all, ever. Maybe it’s time for a bit of a stress reliever – can I interest you in some virtual pet therapy the BC Libraries put together this December? https://bit.ly/BCpets

It’s just a fact, and part of every life, and how we perceive it is up to us.

Yin or Yang?

Daisy Ridley rules.

As a wall, I don’t “go” anywhere, but week of dance is one of the rare times I get restless and would like to shrug off the shackles of my immobility. Anyone who can move should go! bit.ly/bc-week-of-dance

Late nights in the middle of June December.

How crafty! ❤️
