How do I talk to someone I like but never see? (they’re on campus)
Looks like your choices are social media or playing it old-school: phone or (gasp) writing a letter. But perhaps during one of those encounters the two of you might possibly settle on a time to meet for coffee? I hope you get to spend some IRL time together soon.
Why does Tom Brady kiss his kids like that?
It is a bit unusual I’ll admit… But every family has their own kinds of relationships and interactions. Brady kisses his own father on the mouth, so he probably doesn’t think anything weird of it at all. Some would argue that we should be celebrating that a father is so willing to show such intimate affection for his son. But the Wall does recognize that this kind of display is more intimate than many people are used to. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
How much percent of the students who go to UCS gets off-campus referrals?
It sounds like you or someone you know has been having some frustrations with UCS referrals? Sorry about that. I do know they’ve been working hard to keep up with the caseload. I will have my assistants confer with a few other offices & see what they can find out.

President Trump wants $5 billion for the ‘WALL’. Aren’t you lucky :-) Can I have at least $1 billion from you?
It would be so great if that were what was going on, but I’ll believe it when I see the check. If it comes I might spend a little to spruce up my nook here, but it would mostly go to fund scholarships, particularly for international students. As for your billion? Well, we’ll see.
What do you think of people who break rules for the sake of being stubborn?
I ask myself – are they hurting anyone and/or taking an unfair advantage by breaking the rule? Or are they maybe just trying to lighten things up with a gentle prank – as in the case of your Post-It originally being attached to the wall next to me (she’s a very close friend, but answering questions is not in her job description!) In that case, no harm done, and I’m cool with it.
What do I do when I want to give up?
It depends on what you want to give up. Activities that interfere with a healthy and productive life can be given up with effort and determination but don’t need much deliberation. Giving up on a course, job or relationship require much more thought and probably input from trusted friends. If you are giving up on yourself, please seek help from supportive people and professionals- they will help you find hopeful options that may not occur to you if you keep your feelings to yourself (UCS is a good starting place if you don’t know where to begin: bit.ly/BC-counseling)
What are your thoughts on the Matt Kuchar situation regarding how much he should’ve payed his caddie after his win in Hawaii?
Seems to me he made a genuine apology: “I made comments that were out of touch and insensitive, making a bad situation worse,” said Kuchar. “They made it seem like I was marginalising David Ortiz and his financial situation, which was not my intention. I read them again and cringed.” And then paid him another $45K & promised to call him and apologize directly. Nobody can rewind mistakes, but genuine apologies and amends go a long way.
Too overwhelmed
Don’t go it alone! Please get in touch with Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling), The Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors), Campus Ministry (bit.ly/bc-campus-ministry) and/or your advisor, depending on what’s overwhelming you.
When will the world end and why?
The Wall is with Robert Frost on this. bit.ly/bc-eschatology
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Is Johnny Sexton the goat?
![Is Jonny Sexton the goat? [rugby ball drawing]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/aw022119-2.jpg)
Well, certainly of 2018, and right up there among the best of all time. He’s had a helluva squad behind him, too. Good luck to him on this year’s six nations championship!
Give me Snow day
Snow days are rare at Boston College, as administration considers this a residential campus. They do seem to have been more open to following city/state recommendations in the past few years though and have cancelled classes accordingly. Just wait for the next big one!
How are you?
Things are good, thanks for asking. Still happy the roof is here to keep the snow off, and I think I’m a little less sensitive to temperature changes than mammals are. And it’s busy, which makes me smile a wall smile.
Why is there so much pressure to get professional level jobs straight after graduation?
Yes. Some people feel the pressure of others’ expectations (or their own), some have financial pressure. Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.
Why is my mom so freaking awesome?
I bet she works very hard at her awesomeness (though probably some of it is innate.) In any case, lucky, lucky you,. Make sure she knows how you feel about it. I may have mentioned before, my Mom is a sea wall on the North Shore, and she is mega awesome, too – you should see her in a storm surge!
Show me a cute bunny pic
I love my boyfriend so much. how can I show my love for him in creative ways?
Are you arty? You can draw him a picture on a tiny notecard, or paint a landscape on a small piece of watercolor paper. Like theatre or music? Then tickets to a show. Have any culinary skills? Cook him a meal. Not so much on the creative curve, but if he has a car — fill up his tank.
Which was a bigger choke? -Jordan Spieth’s quadruple bogey on #12 at the Masters or -Dustin Johnson’s 3-put on #18 at Chamber’s Bay
Dustin Johnson, 100%. He went into the 18th with a solid lead and just needed to sink the putt for his first Master’s win, but the pressure got to him and he lost it. Poor Spieth though, not only did he quadruple bogey in the 2016 Master’s, but he quadruple bogeyed again the next year. That is rough…
