Yes. Nana would give you the same advice. Good luck!
Should I fall in love with a frog?
Is the Market Basket in MA the same as in Bergen County NJ? They have different logos & different styles.
One way to answer questions like this is to look at databases on our Company Information research guide: libguides.bc.edu/companyinfo. They are separate chains. The Massachusetts chain has an amazing history; check out this book: We are Market Basket : the story of the unlikely grassroots movement that saved a beloved business.

How do I make it to front office?
Do you mean career-wise, or are you looking for a location at BC? At BC, the front office for prospective students is Admissions, in Devlin Hall. For current students & staff, the front office is Lyons Hall. In a career, it depends on your career path and industry. Start by making an appointment with the Career Center: bit.ly/BC-career
Why is BC so Superficial?
I’m sorry you’ve been having this experience of BC! From what I can tell of the questions BC folks post on me, they range from silly to serious, from minor to major, and from shallow to deep. Give BC people a chance & they might surprise you.
I seem to be the only one still wearing a red bandana on their backpacks, many stopped wearing them after the Red Bandana Game. Am I missing something?
You’re not confused. You’re honoring Welles Crowther. Maybe everyone else is confused?
WHY IS THERE A HOOKUP CULTURE HERE?
As a Wall, I am fortunate that the only hookups I have are those for hanging pictures and such on me! More seriously, perhaps this is something that people (probably on most college campuses, not just BC) like to talk about (even if they don’t participate) and that makes it seem prevalent. Or maybe not. This is a difficult issue to address in such a small space. If you search the catalog for “hookup culture” you will find some books that explore the topic. Also check out this article for BC’s “Dating Professor” Kerry Cronin’s take: bit.ly/bc-hookup. The BC Women’s Center offers a “ResTalk” program called “Undressing the Hookup Culture” (see bit.ly/HookupResTalk) and may also have other resources.
What do you think about the musical Chicago?
Yes and yes: satire, based on true crime stories by a reporter for the Chicago Tribune in 1927. If you’re interested in learning more, read The Girls of Murder City: Fame, Lust, and the Beautiful Killers who Inspired Chicago, by Douglas Perry, (O’Neill Library HV6517 .P475 2010).
Hi! I’m interested in universities’ professors salary
Here’s my go-to for this data: data.chronicle.com. If you are interested in a particular professor at BC, that info isn’t publicly available, because BC is a private university.
Good Luck to me! (Putnam on next Saturday…)
Best of luck! I’m rooting for you to be a Putnam Fellow! May you score far above the median.
How do you people get laid in this country?
You really wanna know? Do I have the library database for you! bit.ly/StatistaSex for all the deets… Also see this 2017 article on Sexual diversity in the United States: bit.ly/PLoSSexualDiversity.
Why won’t the bcguest login work on digital studio computers?
Many of the software packages that are available in the Digital Studio are licensed for BC users only- which means that allowing guests to access them would infringe upon the license agreement. Therefore, everyone who wants to use the Digital Studio computers needs to have BC credentials. The bcguest login is only meant to be used at the approved guest computer- if you need help finding it, ask one of my acolytes- ahem, associates.
Good luck to me !!!!!
Indeed, yes! All the best to you!
Why is it so hard and expensive to eat healthily in America?
It’s more profitable to sell packaged, prepared foods than raw materials, and there’s a market for prepared food because it liberated housewives (and now househusbands as well) from kitchen labor. The trouble is that foods designed to spend time in transit, in warehouses, and on supermarket shelves has to be preserved in some way, which damages the flavor of fresh food, so manufacturers compensate by adding salt, fat, and/or sugars, which I’m told make food more appealing to the mouth, but cause problems elsewhere in the body. I recommend the book Food, Inc.: How Industrial Food is Making us Sicker, Fatter and Poorer — And What You can do About it (O’Neill Library HD9005 .F6582 2009) or the DVD (O’Neill Library 3rd Floor Media HD9005 .F66 2009)
Ugh. I overate because of stress over a paper on healthy eating. How ironic is that?
If I could chuckle I would. Your full disclosure is safe here! It’s the season for a bit of overindulgence, no?

How do you cook a 25lb turkey in a microwave?
Gotta say that wouldn’t be my first choice, but Butterball has directions on how to do it. Looks kinda fussy. And I suspect you’ll be wanting a smaller bird than that unless your microwave is the size of Allston. bit.ly/bc-turkey
How to get into Harvard?
Ummm. Walk through the gates? Sorry, I am friends with many of the walls at Harvard but not so much with the gates. My info is more about keeping people out of Harvard. If you are asking how to be admitted to Harvard, the answer is excellent grades, great references and some unique life experiences.
What is better for the environment… wooden pencils or Plastic mechanical ones?
Environmentally, the mechanical pencil is the better option as it has the potential to last for a very long time: you use up the lead in a wooden pencil and you need to get another pencil; you use up the lead in a mechanical pencil and you simply refill it.
I don’t think Hopkins would have loved emoji…but with his drafting background… perhaps???
It’s hard to say… on the one hand, he was an artist and draftsman in addition to being a poet, and might therefore have appreciated tiny typescript images. On the other hand, although many poets have experimented with shape poems (such as this one by George Herbert in the 17th Century: bit.ly/easter-wings), Hopkins never seems to have made shape poems, suggesting that blending writing drawing wasn’t an interest.
