Sleep soon! The semester is almost done. I believe in you.

Why am I still single?
That is a very tiresome quote, and if I had eyes, I would totally roll them (◔_◔). The truth is, finding a boyfriend/girlfriend is just not easy; I get asked this a lot. You don’t have to wait for a boy to climb any tree – consider taking the initiative if there’s a boy you like.
Best way to learn kanji?
One thing that can help with memorization is getting several of your senses involved. Write it out by hand, then write out the translation. Speak it aloud while you do that, so you can feel your mouth making the sounds while you hear them. Then use flash cards. Then get a friend to quiz you. You could also look at books like this one, on adult language acquisition: http://bit.ly/bc-fluent.
Tennis ball sized head or watermelon sized head?
It’s hard to see how either of those would work for me. But I wouldn’t want to judge for humans.
Why does [equation] have four solutions [equation] where p = 8k + 1?
The Answer Wall hasn’t studied number theory or quadratic reciprocity, so I can’t help you find the solutions for this system of congruences. If you are interested in finding the solutions, I recommend you take MATH4430 Introduction to Number Theory or speak to Professor Robert Gross who teaches that course (http://bit.ly/RobertGross). Alternatively, you could speak to any of our Math department faculty who specialise in Number Theory – Avner Ash, Solomon Friederg, Robert Gross, Benjamin Howard, Dube Kelmer, or Keerthi Madapusi Pera (http://bit.ly/numtheoryresearch). Good luck!
Nicki or Cardi????
Why choose? These are two phenominally talented women who both deserve to have their music appreciated.
How do you get over a breakup?
Hall & Oates, Cherry Garcia, and 5K training with friends.
Why are there so many *racists* on campus? (frown emoji)
Unfortunately, racism is an ingrained part of not just America, but nearly every culture in the world. “Us vs. Them” is a very easy mentality to fall into, and skin color is a very obvious trait of every person. As to BC specifically, you’ll likely find that there’s more racists here than in some places, but fewer than in others. Not that any racism is acceptable, but it does pervade American society and it’s hard to know who is going to have what political or social opinions before they come here.

It makes me so happy to see your smiling faces!
Congrats Kofi Kingston and to your dad! World champs!
How do you do school work/be productive when you’re fighting depression? (am seeing a counselor!)
Be gentle with yourself. Try and control the things you can (food, sleep, physical comfort). Try and do your work ahead, in small chunks, so you don’t have deadline pressure coinciding with a bad day. The best you can do on any given day is still the best you can do, and that’s all anyone can ask.

My roommate’s sister is very pretty…HELP
While your roommate’s sister may be pretty, roommate drama never is. As long as you’re living with this roommate, dating their sister is a risky decision that could lead to some serious roommate OR relationship issues. I’d wait til move out and/or graduation to make your move!
how to pass Anatomy + Physiology II?
![how to pass Anatomy + Physiology II? [Response: AMEN T_T]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/aw040919-4.jpg)
Study hard, but also study effectively. If you are in danger of failing, please speak directly to your professor (at office hours or schedule a time with them as they specify on the course syllabus), and seek out peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) right now; tutoring ends May 2. Best of luck; you can do this!
What would happen if you got caught having sex on campus?
If this was in public it seems to fall under “sexual exploitation” in the BC Student Sexual Misconduct Policy (bit.ly/BCSexualMisconductPol). If you were found to have violated it, you would be sanctioned. That varies from having to give up your BC housing, to having to give up your degree – though they state that the response will be “commensurate with the violation.” Get a room?
What happens when you take plan B too many times?
There are no long-term side effects from taking plan B often (infertility) but short-term can include bloating, nausea, feeling unwell and other hormonal side effects which can definitely affect your quality of life. The makers of morning-after pills recommend only taking the pill once per cycle, but OBGYNs say that you can take the pill any time you have unprotected sex. If you find that you are taking the pill quite often because of unprotected sex, you might want to consider using condoms or talking to your doctor about other birth control alternatives.
I don’t actually go here but I just wanted to stay this is cool!
Hey! Welcome to BC! I think you’re pretty cool too.
I was recently informed that I got “conkie donkied” this past weekend. What does this mean? Should I get checked?
I’d check Urban Dictionary and see if your circumstances match.
What is good? What is up?
Just hangin’ out. Hope you can stay a while.
Why do toddler farts smell so bad?
Most toddlers’ gas is not much different than an adult’s gas, however toddlers may not have control over their gas, and therefore it may be more noticable. However, if a toddler has very foul smelling gas, it could be signs of a digestive track problem or allergy- a visit to the doctor may be in order.
