Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Diomedes (the son of Tydeus, not the guy with the flesh-eating horses) doesn’t get nearly enough credit for picking up the slack of swift-footed Achilles. He gives good advice, he keeps his family promises, and he’s a mighty warrior. Good guy. https://bit.ly/3CIRT77
If you’re talking about religious forgiveness, I suggest talking with a pastoral counselor (bit.ly/bc-pastoral-counseling). It might also be worth exploring restorative or transformative justice, and the kind of truth and reconciliation processes that helped make peace in S. Africa and Rwanda. One helper recommended On Repentance and Repair by Danya Ruttenberg (O’Neill Library Call # BL476.7 .R88 2022) for the point of view of the one who did harm and how to make amends. Another recommended Free of Charge: Giving and Forgiving in a Culture Stripped of Grace, by Miroslav Volf.
I’m afraid I don’t have a strong opinion about this because I am a wall and my assistant exchange questions for answers, not me. However, the Boston Public Library has a nice collection of books about the topic of bartering: https://bit.ly/bplbartering
I’m terrible at predictions, so I asked my friend the Magic 8-Ball and they said “it is certain”. Gotta say although, I love them but I wouldn’t take that to the bank.
You’re welcome! (IDK for what, but you’re welcome, just the same!)
I can’t taste cookies, but I really appreciate the thorough testing of Bon Appetit. Their website has lots of recipes. My assistants tell me that the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag is easy and yummy. Website: https://www.bonappetit.com/
Too early to tell. It sounds like the loss to the Packers was more a coaching/strategy issue than a QB issue.
Without more context I don’t think I can offer advice on this topic. Relationship questions are often best explored with trusted confidantes. Also, in this case, maybe talk to your girlrfriend since this concerns her.
Yes! But don’t go it alone. Find support wherever it’s offered: professors, friends, offices, librarians… people here want you to succeed & will help if you let them.
We do have an insta you can check out @oneilllibrary (that’s three “l’s”). Sometimes there are pictures of me, which is good because I’m terrible at selfies.
All I can say is watch what you say & do around archivists, even at the Burns.
Love for all!
Western philosophy and religion make a lot of either/or distinctions (self and other, God and creation) that many Eastern traditions don’t think about the same way. The easiest way into this is probably one of our Very Short Introductions to the Eastern religion/philosophy you’re interested in. https://bit.ly/bc-vsi-hinduism
I can’t, but you might try one of our less academic books on calculus: https://bit.ly/bc-calculus
Indeed! If others are wondering, you might want to read the graphic novel, Watchmen, by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. There are two copies on reserve that can be requested at the O’Neill patron services desk on Level 3.

Beautiful!
It depends on what kind of researcher you’re planning to be. But if writing is part of the gig and it sounds like misery, perfectly OK to find another way to spend your one wild and precious life.
I’m sorry to hear you have some relationship struggles. Communication struggles are not impossible to overcome but do require patience. It’s hard to give relationship advice from my position as a wall, so I highly recommend talking to someone, perhaps in Counseling Services: bit.ly/BC-counseling
Oh noooo! Sorry, I started to make a list and got distracted. Stephen King. He did a short story collection called Night Shift that’s fantastic. We don’t have that one (yet! we will soon), but we do have a bunch of his stuff. List coming soon!

A fashion designer, known for sculptural and goth-esque designs. I quite like the boot designs, I wish I could wear shoes.
