Alas! The library has no control over the vending machines. They are serviced by vending companies who contract with the BC office called Auxiliary Services, who has steadily been working with those companies to have machines updated to accpet Eagle ID’s. If the machine should take some other form of payment (i.e., cash) but doesn’t, please call the toll-free service number on the machine.

Look, I truly know what it’s like to not be as tall as you wish you were. I’m hardly The Great Wall of China, myself. But saying you’re taller than you are is only going to make people doubt your credibility on other issues. Stand tall and show the world what five-foot-ten-and-a-half can accomplish.

You’ve heard of fence-sitting, right? I’m the fence itself. This is not a decision a Wall needs to make, because walls don’t procreate or give birth. Being a Wall in a library, I can guide you to many, many resources. For a bioethics perspective, try an article in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on Pregnancy, Birth, and Medicine: bit.ly/sep-pregnancy. To get a sense of the many different perspectives on this thorny moral issue, do a subject search on abortion in the library catalog, and scan all the subjects that are related: law, religion, moral & ethical aspects, pro-life movement, government policy, pro-choice movements, political aspects, Catholic Church, medical ethics… it’s a long list, which means deciding is potentially a very complex struggle.

If you mean how do you complete the work in order to graduate, it’s simple but not easy: work hard, maintain focus, complete all the requirements. Talk to your advisor & professors often. If you mean what are the practical details of graduation, aka commencement, they are here: bit.ly/bc-commencement. Good luck, and hope to see you in your cap & gown!

What is failure

What is failure
What is failure

If I have read your question right (“What is failure?”), you need to read Bird by Bird, by Anne Lamott. It’s all about what failure teaches, and how to be receptive to it. It takes a certain amount of humor, which she readily provides. (O’Neill & Social Work Libraries, PN147 .L315 1995) Writers seem to write about failure a lot. Here’s another one: The promise of failure: one writer’s perspective on not succeeding, by John McNally. (O’Neill Library PS3563. C38813 Z46 2018). The key takeaway: failure happens, learn from it, move on.

I love a friendly invitation! But this Wall has a strict rule about sharing personal information. I can’t know whether a phone number is shared in earnest or as a cruel joke, so in an excess of caution, I remove all personally identifying information.

Every internship say I am not qualified.

I have a BC Economics degree and in the MBA program, but every internship say I am not qualified. Why? I need experience, that's why I am applying.

I suggest meeting with someone at the Career Center; perhaps they can suggest certain types of internships, have knowledge of particular companies suited to you, or provide pointers about your resume: bit.ly/BC-career. Good luck! Job searches are often a slog, but I have faith that persistence will pay off.
