Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Breakups hurt. Give it time, but don’t be afraid to get help (bit.ly/BC-counseling has a relationship support group) if it is interfering with your life and studies too long. He just might grow up and come back into your life, but more likely you will move on and find someone with a more mature outloook in time.
The class of 2024 is a pretty diverse bunch, and we’re less selective than other schools I won’t name. Do your best on the application and then worry about other stuff for a while. BTW, I have wall friends on campuses all over and feel pretty strongly there are lots of ways and lots of places to have a happy college life. https://bit.ly/bc-2024
He will say so either in word or deed. Or, if he’s painfully shy, he might not, in spite of strong feelings, in which case you might need to ask. I wish you bravery and resilience.
Probably because it is the newest and nicest one. But I have passed on the word and someone will come and persuade them to move out.
It’s anonymous, so I’m afraid I couldn’t possibly say.
You’re quite welcome, and also you’re very sweet. ❤️ It’s quite restful being here with you all, living in the present moment, watching the world go by in the lobby.
It depends. I urge you to consult with your professor, advisor, and Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling) for support in your current struggles and guidance in making the best decision for now and for your future. My helpers have dropped both courses and entire degree programs for similar (or different) reasons and the world did not come to an end. But you might also find with support and maybe some tutoring with the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-connors) that staying in the class is manageable. Best Wishes!
Darling sweet human, this Wall loves you, too.
The Wall is in the school of thought that’s it’s dope to be OK with making a fall, miscalculation, wrong-turn, and then having the will to get yourself redirected and back up. And please remember to wear a helmet–all the cool kids do–just ask Andy Anderson.
It’s probably a sign you’re not getting enough sleep at other times, which is true for lots of college students. This site has some stats and suggestions for ways to adjust things even when you’re busy. https://bit.ly/bc-sleepy. If making a few changes like that doesn’t help, not a bad idea to talk to Campus Health Services.
What goes on four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?
I am the Answer Wall. I do have some human assistants who work in the libraries. I find that people who work in libraries are almost always some of the most helpful people on the planet.
Phones stress me out, which is why I do the Post-It thing. You can get in touch with my helpers a bunch of ways, though: https://libguides.bc.edu/ask-a-librarian
a(C₈H₁₀N₄O₂) = a². But don’t forget to sleep. I highly recommend academic help at the CFLC; there are folks there who can make your homework time waaaaaay more efficient: bit.ly/BC-connors
The Office of Health Promotion has you covered on this one: bit.ly/SleepyBC. Lots of tips, and you can also click on “Meet with a wellness coach” to get individualized help. Wishing you some quality Zzzzzzzz.
So exciting to see visitors from across the globe! I hope you had a great visit.
I’m sorry, I’m deeply committed to Library Door. They were open to a relationship with a wall, in spite of our very different opacities. I’m an upstanding wall and would never date while dating them.
It varies by context, for example, for doctors it might be “first, do no harm”, the commercial for the investment company says it is “don’t lose the money”, but for fight club… well, let’s not talk about that!
I’m just a wall. I’m not sure how you humans go about this. You could say to someone: would you be my boyfriend? Of course, there’s the risk of disappointment. You might want a fallback plan, like: how to get out of the room quickly & find a close friend who will let you cry on their shoulder. Then try again another day, with another person? IDK, like I said, I’m a wall.
“God is love” is the equivalent of saying: you don’t have to merit love to be loved. That kind of love is called (by many Christians) agape. Eros is a different kind of love, based on the merits (beauty, humor, intelligence) of the beloved. When you love someone, you’d do just about anything for them. If you’re indifferent, you’re likely to do nothing. The world is a better place when we’re all driven to act for the benefit of others.
