Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Congratulations! And no worries: you get to decide that for yourself, when you’re ready. And then change your mind as often as you like. Wear that thought lightly, and maybe try to be a slightly better version of yourself than you were yesterday. You’ve got this.
That’s one of the ways the academic calendar is brutal, it’s not personal at all. There are thirteen Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in October this year. One of them is Halloween, one is Indigenous Peoples Day. EagleApps says there are 958 sections that meet MWF. Tuesday-Thursday has 957. I’m sure you’ll do fine, but take care of yourself. Getting more sleep than you think you need is my #1 piece of advice–sleep deprivation messes with your memory, so there’s a point of diminishing returns to cramming.

No problem. When you think of a question, share it with me!
Thank you for asking! I’m feeling grateful for all the questions I’ve received recently and the support I’ve gotten from my library helpers, and my relationship with O’Neill Lobby Door is going strong. I have felt a lot of stress in the air from students recently, though, that’s made me sad and want to give them a big hug (if I had arms). I hope you are holding up well and get a chance to take care of yourself during the upcoming Indigenous Peoples Day long weekend.

Woe to those (woe to those)

I enjoyed it! It’s fun to experience how different each album is from the one proceeding. Favorite track: The Fate of Ophelia, I’m a sucker for a Shakespeare allusion.
Beauty, eye of the beholder, etc. But there does seem to be a growing consensus among reviewers that her work as a whole on this album isn’t the equal of her earlier work. A consensus of reviewers doesn’t mean much, though: Moby Dick was panned in its time and didn’t sell well. Perhaps the work just doesn’t match the moment.
I love a challenge! Unfortunately a) I have no hands and b) that would be unethical & would get us both in trouble with the academic honesty board.
If you can see. If your hair is in your eyes, time for a trim.
IDK but maybe they’ll tell you if you slide into their DMs on Insta: asinine_comedy. Last year the first fall show was right after the fall break, which would be… next week!
Two thoughts: 1) That may be more of a fifth date revelation. 2) If you’re doing sweaty debate Nixon, you could try the one from the movie Dick. Also, there will be boys who will get this.
It is my strong belief that there are many possible Someones for everyone, so yes, don’t sweat it. But not sure why autism is called out here.
One version goes, “…for dust you are,
and to dust you will return. (Genesis 3:19)
If you feel ready to tell people, by all means!
Reverend John McElroy, b. Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh in 1782, founded Boston College 1858, d. Maryland, 1877. McElroy Commons, named after him, is at the intersection of College Road and Beacon Street on the Chestnut Hill campus. It contains two dining areas: Carney’s Dining Room and Eagle’s Nest. There really should be a BC club for distributing free food. Conact the Office of Student Involvement about finding or starting one: bc.edu/osi.
I think so! I get to be around all of your with your wonderful questions every day. For me, that makes life truly wonderful.
Most will hold a couple at least, but your results will be highly dependent on variables like shoe size and how supple the material is. Try it out as a weekend project and report back.
A clock as well!
Trading in markets isn’t something I know much about. Sorry! If by ICT you mean the YouTube account Inner Circle Trader, keep in mind that any investment advisors worth listening to consider day-trading little more than gambling, and any strategies marketed as foolproof aren’t.
Sometimes even our favorite foods don’t agree with us. Well that’s what my friends with stomachs tell me. It might be time to appreciate the pumpkin spice gnocchi from afar.
If you mean songs with lyrics that hold up on the page without the melodies, possibly Patti Smith, Bob Dylan (can’t argue with a Nobel for literature!), or Lou Reed, or just about any rap or hip hop artist for sheer virtuosity (Check out Doechii!) If you mean an imaginative or sensitively emotional style of expression that blends with the music, a lot of people are saying Taylor Swift. I’d go with a much older classic: Robert Burns.
Anything from manage the life of a fictional wealthy layabout (Jeeves, for Bertram Wooster in many P.G. Wodehouse novels) to manage the staff of a fictional great house (Mr. Carson in the British tv serial Downton Abbey). Household staff were so frequently the culprit of murder in mystery fiction that people were warned away from the cliche as early as the 1920s. (bit.ly/butler-did-it)
