Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
The uncertainty principle states that the position of an object cannot be known simultaneously with its momentum. The more precisely one quantity can be determined, the less precisely the other is known. In terms of helping you study, yes we can. I am certain of that (see what I did there?… I am “certain” of that… got it?…) You can contact the Connors Family Center, located at O’Neill’s second floor. They offer tutoring assistance in general and organic Chemistry. bit.ly/BC-connors
Dining Services says they are recyclable.
I can’t tell by looking at you, but hope you will check in with Health Services (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth) to rule out a physical cause, and then with the Office of Health Promotion (http://bit.ly/BCSleepy) to get some serious advice on improving your sleep.
Hmm, what do you mean by that? By “sub-terraine,” are you referring someone who lurks in the depths of the internet, or elsewhere on campus? The Wall would love to help, if you can clarify a bit more on your situation! If you don’t care to elaborate but feel that you’re in danger, you can always reach out to BC’s Sexual Assault Network 24-hour hotline at 617-552-2211. If this is actually a question about the game Battle Cats, you can find some tips here: bit.ly/battle-cats-subterranean
I believe everyone is free to believe whether or not they have free will. Although, I have to admit theories supporting the notion that people do not have free will are somewhat interesting. One example (from theosophy) is supposedly all events that have happened, are currently happening, and will happen are contained in a metaphysical database known as the Akashic Records. For more on free will, see the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry: plato.stanford.edu/entries/freewill/
If 10 hours is necessary for you, or a personal priority, you will need to be judicious with how your spend your awake time and manage a massive workload. Ear plugs and a sleeping eye mask can help with making your sleep time more conducive to sleep. And take a break from technology before bedtime. The CDC provides an overview of sleep recommendations by age (bit.ly/cdc-sleep-needs) if you want to reconsider how much sleep is necessary for you to function at your best.
I just listened to “Candy.” She’s an appealing J-Pop singer, with some jazzy depth beneath the sugar coating. I’m not sure what her Spotify numbers are like, but views on YouTube are modest. Of course, this likely a misrepresentation of popularity in Japan, where most people still listen to cd’s.
Same thing Arkansas. What did Delaware?
I’d say both, but in different ways. A derivative is going to tell you about what’s going on at a particular moment, and it’s important to live in the moment. But the whole area under the curve of your life is also important to show you the big picture. The derivative may cloud your mind during rough periods (“I’m going downhill fast!”), but integrating over the course of your life (with the limits being birth and death) can reassure you that this is just a phase.
I am sorry to hear that the noise level at the 5th floor is disruptive. I will convey your feedback to the Library administration. Also, the room’s current setup is not permanent, and your feedback will helps us determine what kind of layout will best serve the needs of our constituents!
Learn to love yourself. Also dodge, duck, dip, dive, and….dodge. (P.S. does anyone actually know what a vibe check is?)
I’m sorry you’re getting such insufficient sleep at night that you’re falling asleep in class. I think your concern should be more about missing the most crucial hours of your BC education than about your professor’s attitudes, which could be any mix of annoyance, disregard, or concern. I do recommend apologizing to your professor & explaining the reason. I know one college teacher who had been annoyed about a sleeping student until he found out the student was working a full-time night job to pay tuition. If your reasons are less noble, maybe don’t mention them, but commit to changing habits so you can stay awake.
I’m planning on hanging around here a long time. To become one of my helpers, you generally have to be a regular library employee at BC. That’s a pretty sweet job, too; my helpers say this is one of the best libraries to work at. But we are brainstorming ways to bring in more student voices to the answering side of me. So stay tuned!
I had to consult with my Philly expert on this one. Technically, a song is jawn insofar as anything can be a jawn. But only a good song is a bop. e.g., “That new jawn by [insert band] is a bop!”
That depends on your goals. Want to go work for “big law” and make fat stacks? Then prestige is what you need and hope that the debt thing will work out. Are you looking to do public service work or working in any other area of law that will provide a good-but-not-insane paycheck? Then choosing the best school that you consider affordable is the right choice. Note that low-average or poor quality schools might offer you full scholarships: that’s still a bad idea.

I’m so sorry to hear that. It makes me think of a very old song, which might make you feel better–that is an old story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS9U75YC-jA
Everybody processes that part of their lives differently, and not always on the same schedule as everyone else. If it makes you uncomfortable or causes problems for you it might be worth talking to a therapist or counselor (Campus Health Services can help with that), but I’m reading more puzzlement than distress in your question. Be yourself, you’ll be fine.
Sounds like a cool idea, but I doubt you’ll catch many gators in Chestnut Hill. The nuisance species here seems to be the wild turkey.
![To what extent can [you] assign blame to people who fall in the face of adversity?](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/AW10292019-07.jpg)
Why does blame need to be placed in a situation where someone has fallen in the face of adversity? Failure, while sometimes demotivating, is an important part of learning — rather than asking yourself Whose fault is this?, try asking What can this teach me?
