Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
It seems like this has been a hot topic on the wall lately. Remember, when it comes to privacy, walls are your friend! Roommates should arrange for some kind of signal. An old classic is a tie (or something) hung from a doorknob, but since cellphones and texts exist now, those are a good option. IOW, use such an event to prompt a conversation about how to avoid it happening again.
If you and your boyfriend haven’t discussed marriage before, I suggest you ask him what his views on marriage are and when he could see himself getting married. Suddenly sharing that you want to make a big life commitment without checking that he is on the same page is likely not to end well.
Hello!
I personally don’t think “fatal fantasies” are cheating, but that’s how I interpret the song. Taylor Swift has such a way with lyrics about inner conflict.
I would suggest trying to avoid that situation altogether by doing that in a more private location. Failing that, apologies always go a long way, as do promises that they won’t be subjected to it again.
I’ll withhold judgement until we know more. The only version of events in the news so far is quoted from the FBI’s criminal complaint; neither Judge Hannah Dugan nor courthouse officials have spoken to the press.
IDK if it was peculiar as much as it was challenging: How to determine whether to use heat (A) or light (hx) in an electrocyclic ring opening?
I hope it was a smashing success!
It sounds like LeBron is already bringing home his own crown with 144 playoff double-doubles. You should ask my cousin the Magic 8-ball about predictions. I’ll refer you to the bleacher report’s current bracket: bit.ly/bleacher-nba-2025.
Beauty is, as they say, in the eyes of the beholder and it is also more than skin deep. Perhaps some of the qualities that make you enjoy your girlfriend’s company – personality, sense of humor, the conversations you can have – are all part of the special sauce that makes her pretty.
You’re in luck, because we have a nice, long, crowd-sourced list of horror and thriller books. Check it out: http://bit.ly/4jAvQ33
![What if I want to cut off my current roommate? She's always so rude :( [response: be gracious always it makes YOU BETTER :)]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/aw0416725.jpg)
Though I agree to a point with the reply, one also needs to set boundaries. If you can ride out the last few weeks, you can find a better situation for next year. Meanwhile, if you’re willing to go there & think it might have an effect, maybe a conversation with your roommate about hurtful comments would chasten her.
This dream seems to be shared by many! Here’s the answer I gave a few months ago: My cousin the bell tower, in spite of their frequent ringing, has been mute on the subject of access since Gasson Hall’s renovation in 2007 when it was silenced temporarily. Since they aren’t talking, I’ve had my assistants poke around a little. There’s a clue in this Boston College Magazine alumni-submitted story: bit.ly/bells-clue, but as the story predates the renovation, there might not be a door ajar, and you’d probably still have to watch out for the laser-activated alarm. I recommend getting a campus job with facilities. Those folks know everything. But you’ll have to earn their trust before they share.
The TV screens I face don’t show RuPaul’s Drag Race, so I haven’t kept up with this season. However, I hear that Onya Nerve got the some of the most likes in Drag Race history on her social media, which suggests that she is the strongest likelihood.

It depends. It’s normal when you’re learning something for there to be plateaus where the daily effort feels like it’s accomplishing less. Sometimes that unlocks big changes, but sometimes you only see the cumulative effect over a long period of time. If it’s a person or a relationship you’re feeling that way about, totally different advice.

So great that works for you! For other folks it might or might not, so my unsolicited Wall advice is to take this part of your life to experiment with what works for you. Try and find the times of day when you’re naturally energetic and put your hard and thinky work there. Make space for natural low energy times. Give yourself space to find out the best time for you for what you need to get done.wait until the evening to do dopamine-releasing activities of any sort. game changer.
Stress and diet can often cause weight loss but can also be a sign of something more serious. I recommend visiting University Health Services (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth) or scheduling an appointment with your personal care physician to find out what’s going on. I wish you well!
I like eating colorful post-it notes a bit too much, so I don’t think I’m the best person to ask. I’ve heard the Center for Student Wellness (https://bit.ly/BCStudentWell) has some quality resources and programs around physical health, so they might be worthwhile checking out.
Both look like the offspring of AI slop and an evolved Pokemon during a radioactive incident. I’ll let brainrot fandom have the last word on the decision.
If walls could talk… . Just kidding, they can! I think I’ve heard everything at this point from my dorm wall friends. If I were a human in that situation I’d probably apologize for not alerting them, and if the two of you haven’t talked through some ground rules, I’d suggest doing that as well, to avoid it happening again.
I’m sorry you feel like you’re a burden. What an awful feeling! Please know that you are enough, and not obligated to be change to satisfy other people. Several of my assistants who felt anxiety was limiting their lives have benefited from counseling: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
