Boosting up GPA is hard, but I’m sure you can do this. Take advantage of all the help on offer: CFLC (tutoring & academic coaching: bit.ly/connors), meet with all of your professors, create study groups with other students, find productive places to study in BC Libraries, work with librarians on all of your research papers (library.bc.edu/ask-a-librarian), and then study like mad for the LSAT’s. You’ve got this!
Will I pass the Econ Exam today?
I have faith in you! If things don’t go as well as you hoped, please try some peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors)
How come the 80k it costs to go here doesn’t …
It depends on what kind of device you have, but you can borrow lots of adapters from the Circulation Desk on level 3. If you’re facing me, turn around and you’ll see it.
What should I get my girl-friend for her B-day?
Make a list of her likes and hobbies. Try to come up with a couple of items or experiences that line up with each of those, then narrow it down to one thing that fits your budget and the occasion. Don’t forget to wrap it and while a card isn’t completely necessary, I bet she’d like one. Keep adding to the list as stuff comes up throughout the year, so you’re prepared for the gift-giving holidays to come!
Who let the dogs out?
Woof! Woof! Woof! This library is letting the dogs in! Watch for signs in the lobby. (psssst… it’s next week.)

“Don’t you, forget about me.” My helpers tell me that 80s music has made a comeback.
Hey Wall, So my parents are getting a divorce.
You have an overwhelming number of important questions; you probably feel more than a little overwhelmed. I recommend talking many of these issues through with someone who can be both sympathetic and objective, and help you determine priorities for addressing and making sense of them. Counseling Services would be a good place to start: bit.ly/BC-counseling. For the dog poop I recommend any detergent plus oxy-clean or bleach, both available at any local grocery or drug store.
It can certainly be startling to see someone else’s internal monologue. Many of us are walking (or standing) around with such internal voices; it takes bravery to make it public, even anonymously, because you never know how people will respond. I was a little surprised myself, but it’s never a mistake to be compassionate.
I was in a toxic relationship that has ruin my life in high school?
I’m sorry someone you loved abused your trust. It can be hard to rebuild enough trust to connect with other people after an event like that. I recommend talking to someone at Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling) or Campus Ministry (bit.ly/bc-pastoral-counseling) to help you rebuild the capacity for trust and creating loving, nurturing, and mutually-beneficial relationships.

How to get rid of pimples =( =(
Wash your face! Too many people think just a splash of water in the morning is enough, but most dermatologists recommend a gental daily cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil. Gental exfoliation may help too, using a scrub once or twice a week or spot treating with salicylic acid. But before trying anything harsher, definitely check in with a licensed dermatologist. They can help you find a more personalized routine, since as a wall I’ve only got a theoretical knowledge of how skin works.
Do I drink too much?
If you’re concerned, it’s probably worth looking into further. The Office of Health Promotion has some useful info to determine if you have a problem: http://bit.ly/BCDrinking, and then you can follow up with them – they have a variety of programs to help.
I debated this with my friends, but we need your help.
Album score is Sean 4 (3 platinum, 1 gold) v Frank 3 (3 platinum, one of which won a Grammy). Frank’s got more number ones. So I’d say on that score, Frank by a nose. But it really comes down to which *you* like. Unlike sports, music isn’t really a competition.
Do you know who peanut butter baby is?
No, but I think I’ve met the man he grew up to be?
Can you fix my lower back?
I’m sorry, but no. I’m a Wall. You could probably benefit from physical therapy. I recommend seeing a doctor, and finding out all possible options. You have my deep sympathy. You know the first thing proto-humans said when they walked upright, right? Ow, my back!
Stressed, and feeling alone…
I feel lonely sometimes late at night when there’s nobody around, and the stress of holding up this building sometimes gets me down. It’s good to reach out when that happens. If you can’t find someone here, look up some old friends and give them a call. I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.
Where is the warmest place to study on campus?
I asked one of my helpers, and she said that the vestibules as you enter Stokes N are both very toasty, and surprisingly nice places to sit and concentrate. The warmest place she’s found (she’s done a lot of research on this) is in the cloak room at the Burns Library, but it would be a terrible study space. Same for the warmest spot she’s found in O’Neill; the level 2 women’s restroom!`
How do I remove spirits from a home?
That is so sad, and I can see how it would be upsetting to live in a setting where such a terrible thing has happened. Methods of removing spirits vary widely between cultures and faiths. I would approach your spiritual advisor and ask what, if anything, is the appropriate action.
Idk what went wrong in my life.
Almost everyone feels that way sometimes. But if you feel that way often, or it’s interfering with your ability to enjoy life and do things, I’d have a talk with the folks at University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) and see if they can’t find some strategies to make you feel more secure and happier about your life.
