The Wall

Alas, unrequited love is a story for the ages. There are many reasons for a person not to love you, most of which don’t have anything to do with you at all. You will find someone that loves you for you. In the meantime, I recommend focusing on other people and hobbies. In time, your feelings for this person will fade and be replaced by feelings for someone else that is a better fit.

Hmmmm…could be any number of reasons. Did it used to be normal for you? Did you accept the new wifi certificate that was introduced on Nov. 11? Try “forgetting” the EduRoam network and reconnecting. If it’s still going slow, you can call the Technology help center at 617-552-HELP (4357).

Anything. Anything at all. Ideally, something that will show her that you thought about what gives her joy.

I’m glad you’ve found a home here! But sadly, it’s not a place to stay during break because there’s no residential staff. You’re probably familiar with the lines from a famous Christmas poem: “not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.” It will certainly be true of O’Neill at night during the winter break, when O’Neill will be open 9-5 Mon-Sat, 11-7 Sun, and fully closed on Christmas Day (Dec 25) and New Year’s Day. But no overnight sojourns, I’m sorry to say.

I applaud your enthusiasm to help those in need. The job track to pro sport General Manager seems to follow two paths- former players and former coaches. So first, you should become one of those. Organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry has an interesting article on how GMs are developed. Check it out at: www.kornferry.com/institute/great-gms-are-made-not-born

It could be a variety of reasons (your socks, the material in your shoes (no plastic!), or not rotating your shoes frequently enough).  Try using a tea tree oil body wash on your feet.  I’ve heard it can do wonders.

Do you like to wear/can afford Supreme clothing? Then Yeezys are for you. But there’s no denying that they’re basically the pinnacle of hype beast culture, which means they’ll be relevant for 12(?) months at most. In Boston, if you bought Yeezys now, you wouldn’t even be able to wear them until May. I’m not sure when the next iteration of Yeezys will drop, but you might be already behind the curve by that point. If you’re into streetwear, there are better options out there that have more staying power. Depending on your sub-culture, check out Allbirds (casual), Converse chucks high/low tops (casual), Jordans (sneakerhead), Vans (skater), etc.

The Wall has a healthy dose of skepticism about that. Always keep in mind that all you need for a conspiracy theory is a way to link disparate facts (or sometimes convincing fictions) and a narrative that adds agency. Most conspiracy theories are random facts glued together with motivated reasoning. Many people have a stake in perceiving Epstein’s death as homicide, and most of the reported facts of the case don’t support that claim. bit.ly/AP-epstein-conspiracy

If you trust your friends and they are encouraging you, the shot is probably not as risky as it seems. It may help to lower your expectations of success- that can help you view a small forward step as a success rather than a falling short of your shot.

안녕! I don’t have much of a voice… in fact I don’t have a voice at all. But I can provide a link to a song from a few years ago that I like: bit.ly/four-walls

My condolences! You could try Degrassi Junior High if you’d like some Canadian tips. Freaks & Geeks worked well for lots of 80s kids.

Campbell is unfortunately not on the list for this fall, but our doggo visitors have complicated schedules. Or perhaps Campbell is taking a much-needed break.

It’s possible it’s a cultural or style issue. Spend a while observing how Americans initiate conversations, and note especially what stands out to you as unfamiliar or strange. Try one or two of those behaviors & see what happens. You could even do it jokingly: hey, I’m going to pretend I’m American, tell me what you think. It could also be a question of shared interests and knowledge. You could watch a film or TV show or sporting event that many people have seen and start by talking about that.
