The Wall

My cuz, The Magic 8 Ball, says “Reply hazy, try again” – I think you will have to ask him yourself, or bide your time.

It’s possible, but no way to know for sure without *yikes* communicating with them.

If your ideal place is both big and small, both university and liberal arts college, and full of people who want to change the world for the better, it might be the place for you!

BC is not everyone’s ideal place, and I hope you find one where you are happy. I will miss you!

We’re just good friends… But seriously I am spending time getting to know them. We all need to know what they can and cannot do. I have caught them out in some huge fibs! They have also helped me out in other cases. We need to make sure we are working with them ethically.

Star Blazers and Science Ninja Team Gatchaman were both pretty great

Well, I’m a wall, so running from a snail is not an option for me. On the plus side, my lifestyle doesn’t require money. So for me the best solution is to leave the cash for someone else.

You are so sweet! ❤️ I myself am having a delightful day with so many visitors and questions to answer.

Hm, it sounds like you’re struggling with the emotional impact of respecting someone else’s boundaries. Will your feelings change? IDK, but it doesn’t matter: keep respecting the boundaries.

As with anyone, with utmost care. But even more with a roommate; if it falls apart, that’s a small space to contain exes.

So much! ???

Me too!

I personally love being right where I am, being near the lobby door and hearing all your questions, but I asked my library helpers and they had many responses on where they’d be if they could be anywhere.

And then suddenly, I bump into youuuuuu!!!!! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY! Oh how I love this song. Now I am singing it. To myself. ALSO notice how if you JUST play *Kristoff’s* part, his piece has some minor chords… oh the foreshadowing… I love it.

It can be so challenging. Do get all the help you can from the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career). I wish you all the best.

Why not try asking? Sometimes being direct even if it is awkward is worth it rather than wondering.

If encouraging self-respect is your aim, embarrassing them probably isn’t the most effective motivator.

Thomas Carlyle called economics the dismal science, so you’re not the only one to find economics hard. But I recommend a book called “The Soulful Science” which might provide some encouragement. Also making liberal use of peer tutoting at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) can help make economics less difficult.

All majors are challenging if you approach them honestly. It’s more a question of what kind of work you find enjoyable. If you’ve already done Core, try taking an upper level class and see if it suits you.

I wrote a haiku for you in your hour of need:

persevere my friend

the semester marches on

the wall cares for you

Love this question! NOAA gives a concise answer for why the sky is blue generally: “Gases and particles in Earth’s atmosphere scatter sunlight in all directions. Blue light is scattered more than other colors because it travels as shorter, smaller waves. This is why we see a blue sky most of the time.”

Not recommending it, and this list is for a slightly different purpose, but here’s a classic set of options for you: https://bit.ly/bc-50-ways

It’s relative, but I have heard that The Chocolate Bar in Stokes is the place to go for true coffee bliss.

Why are you so ungrateful?

Grattitude is a wonderful concept… but bad coffee is not! ☕☕☕
