Are you sure they’re sure? They might not be so sure. That said, “fake it ’til you make it” actually does work a surprising amount of the time.
Why is everyone around me so sure of what they want to do?
Does anyone have midterm on Valentines day, like me?
I’m sure many others do. With a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, there are a limited number of days between now and spring break on which to schedule a mid-term. Good luck!
I think the wall here is pretty cool, how can I work on the inside?
The only beings inside me are mice. Are you a mouse? You’re welcome to work on the inside. I advise not nibbling on the conduits.
Why should I do a blind date with a book? Why can’t it be with you? xo
You already know me so it would not really be a blind date. Pick a book you don’t know and jump right in and get acquainted! If it doesn’t work out, you will at least have a new experience to talk to me about …
I’ve been experiencing pain and burning during sex… what do I do? ?
So sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing pain and the blues. To rule out an infection, think about making an appointment with a doctor at University Health Services to discuss your concerns. bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth
How to not be sick.
No guarantees, but establishing healthy living practices will probably increase your odds. Maybe schedule a meeting with the Office of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-health-promo) to develop an individual health plan (iHP)?
How can I go into research in neuroscience?
You can find the major requirements on this page: bit.ly/bc-neuroscience. It looks challenging: a mix of psychology, biology, statistics, computer science, and a research practicum, but I’m sure you’re up to the challenge. If your question is more about interest, perhaps pick up a book such as Adolphs & Anderson, The neuroscience of emotion: a new synthesis (ebook: bit.ly/neuroscience-emotion). If you can’t put it down, you’ve picked the right major.
How do you not fail probability??
Humans absorb and make sense of different kinds of information at different speeds, so you might try spending way more time than you think you should need studying and see how that works–one of my assistants says that worked for him in a similar spot. You can and should also talk to my friends at the Connors Family Learning Center, who can help you get set up with a tutor. They’re one floor down from me, or you can check them out online: bit.ly/BC-connors
What’s the best burger you’ve ever had?
As a wall, I’ve never eaten anything, much less a burger. But my helpers inform me that taste is very context-dependent. One helper had been camping and hiking for 2 months straight eating only pre-packaged food before winding up at a burger joint in Washington DC. He remembers that burger was the best thing he’d ever tasted. But when he went back there a couple years later, it was very mediocre. There is no best burger – smash burgers, fancy burgers, fast food, greasy diners – all of these burgers have their place. If you’re really itching to hunt for the best one in Boston, check out this list from Eater: bit.ly/bostonBurgers
What would happen to you if you fell off the edge of the earth?
Nothing, considering that you cannot fall off the edge of the earth. The earth is an oblate spheroid; therefore, it does not have edges.
Can you print a photo of the goodest dog
One goodest dog must be the profile pic of WeRateDogsâ„¢, right? (@dog_rates on Twitter)
ahhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh call me ;)
I’m not much of a matchmaker; I think you’re looking for one of those online services I’ve heard of?
I’m dumb horny; help!
Looks like you’ve got a few post-it writers on the same page today. The challenge will be finding them! I’m sorry to say this isn’t really set up to be a dating site, in spite of the number of questions posted here regarding relationships.
Do good fences make good neighbors?
According to Robert Frost, yes, at least for New Englanders. The thing is, he was actually from San Francisco… No, but seriously, he got it turned around. Good neighbors make good fences.
How can I get laid on Valentine’s Day?
I can think of many options, but most of them involve sacrificing your dignity or lying, so that’s the challenge, isn’t it: how to get this to happen discreetly & honestly. I hear chocolates & flowers sometimes help. Something to keep in mind, too, is that it’s not like the day is magical or anything, and was originally about an entirely different kind of love. IOW, no shame in experiencing other kinds of love on Valentine’s Day.
Yes, that is certainly a key element in the process.
Beto 2020?
At this point, even an all-knowing wall does not know. So many candidates out there right now and it’s still so early – this may very well become the wildest primary season ever!
Are you a god
Um, no. I’m a wall. Glad to clear up the confusion!
What are your predictions for the four golf majors this year?
The Wall is no good at predicting things, but if Golf Twitter is too overwhelming, here are a couple of suggestions: 1) Mainstream. bit.ly/bc-golf-2019. 2) Opinionated. bit.ly/bc-golf2019-2
Fall in love w/ my best friend?
It’s a tough call. There’s nothing better than being in love with your best friend, but love doesn’t always work out. If that happens, you could be out of a best friend, which would be distressing. Are you willing to take the risk? Only you can decide that.
How do I deal with my crush who works on the tech-desk ??? <3<3<3
This is one way, for sure. You could also try locating a Post-It nearer the Tech Desk. There are probably non-Post-It options also.
