Draw a picture of yourself “smiley face”.
Burrito or salad? I had a cheat day today “sad face”.
Sages often call for moderation in all things. The Wall is inclined to think this should include moderation also. Being kind to yourself is super important if you’re trying to do something hard. So give yourself a break and start from where you are.
I just read about Madoff. He is a genius…
In keeping with BC’s mission (bit.ly/BCMissionStatement), I’d say, let’s not do this. There’s enough pain and injustice in the world. Turn your superpowers to good and not to evil! Maybe consider finding ways to do tremendous amounts of good for people… and not get caught.
Answer Wall you’re marvelous! Will you be my partner??
Awwww, shucks, if I had blood & capillaries I’d be blushing. You might find being my partner a little frustrating; you kind of have to be a wallflower.
Is it okay to go to the hospital because of a hangover?
Certainly, if you show signs of alcohol poisoning (from the Mayo Clinic bit.ly/HungoverOuch ): confusion, vomiting, seizures, slow or irregular breathing, blue-tinged skin or pale skin, low body temperature, difficulty remaining conscious or losing consciousness. Consider seeking help, maybe through the Ofc. of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-health-promo), for your drinking if this is not a one-time thing.
Best make-out spots on campus? Asking for a friend ;)
What you need is walls. 4 of them is best. And a door that closes and locks. Failing that, find shadows and places with low foot-traffic if you don’t like sudden surprises. I’m rather stationary, myself, and my assistants are all blessed with their own walls and doors, so I don’t have any first- or second-hand experience. I recommend asking other humans in the same boat.
Where is the best crying spot?
? I wish I could offer you a shoulder, because the shoulder of a friend is oftena good crying spot. If you want to cry alone, some humans use the shower. Others might go for a walk in the woods, perhaps the Hammond Pond Conservation Area, which you can access via a path from Suffolk Road, or the Webster Woods, accessible via the Hammond Pond Parkway.
Where is DB Cooper?
Your guess is as good as mine! Since the FBI is no longer actively investigating the case, Dan Cooper’s location after his successful plane hijacking in 1971 is likely to remain an unsolved mystery. If you’re interested in more details about Cooper and the hijacking, check out the FBI website entry on the case. (bit.ly/DBCooperFBI)

What are the orange slips that say “growth required 5 years” in some books on the 5th floor?
These slips help staff shift collections that need to be compressed to facilitate a renovation of the 5th floor. Some titles are still growing (more volumes are being published) and we need to know which ones, so that appropriate room is left on the shelf. Make sure you check out the new user spaces in Fall 2020!
Hi. This [name] and [name] from UPrising. Do you like our team?

I marvel at human movement of all kinds, but especially movement coordinated with music to be expressive. UPrising brings together a lot of styles to do that. So, yes, I like your team. (Sorry about redacting names: it’s my policy.)
I met this guy over the summer and we had a fling.
Friends are not something to squander. You might not want to enter into a serious relationship with him right now, but why not remain friendly and in contact?
I don’t know if I should continue being an English major or not. Don’t want to analyze texts. Want to write on my own.
Consider a creative writing concentration? bit.ly/bc-creative-writing Also: talk to prof’s about how to use text analysis in ways that will serve your own writing. If those conversations are unproductive and/or the creative writing concentration isn’t for you, then talk to your advisor (& others) about another major.
Did that person return your sticky note dispenser or did you have to get a new one?
It was returned! I deeply believe that the vast majority of people are honest. It was nice to have that confirmed.
The construction where Cushing used to be is SO loud and I can’t hear my professor in class at Campion. Help!
I’m so sorry your education is being disrupted! The project target was that major noise would be finished before the start of classes. Alas! The deadline was missed. The major noise should abate soon. Until then, I recommend sitting at the front of the room and asking if the professor can provide notes.
Here we are
It’s a true joy to see you!
Are the dining halls for-profit?
According to this 2017 article in The Heights (bit.ly/BCDiningProfit), “BC Dining has a break-even bottom line. It does not try to make a profit. If there is any surplus of money at the end of the year, it is used to improve dining facilities. ”
Should I overload?
That’s a tough one. Do you have a very good reason for wanting to do so? Do you feel you have the time to give each course the attention it needs, and to be able to learn as effectively as you would with a normal course load? Talk these things over with your academic advisor.
