Um, no. I’m a wall. Glad to clear up the confusion!
Are you a god
What are your predictions for the four golf majors this year?
The Wall is no good at predicting things, but if Golf Twitter is too overwhelming, here are a couple of suggestions: 1) Mainstream. bit.ly/bc-golf-2019. 2) Opinionated. bit.ly/bc-golf2019-2
Fall in love w/ my best friend?
It’s a tough call. There’s nothing better than being in love with your best friend, but love doesn’t always work out. If that happens, you could be out of a best friend, which would be distressing. Are you willing to take the risk? Only you can decide that.
How do I deal with my crush who works on the tech-desk ??? <3<3<3
This is one way, for sure. You could also try locating a Post-It nearer the Tech Desk. There are probably non-Post-It options also.
How do I most effectively skim-read for all my hundreds of pages of reading per week?
I sound like a broken record today, but do contact the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) about academic coaching to learn to develop ways to read/study in a more effective manner.
Does Fr. Leahy exist or is he a unicorn?
Preeety sure “Jesuit College President Is Actually Unicorn” and “Unicorns Really Exist” are headlines I would have seen. Also, presumably there would be more hoof prints and sparkles on the lawns.
I am a Freshman. How do I get a boyfriend @ BC w/out having to resort to online dating and hooking up?
My helpers tell me it’s good to be active and “out there” if you want meet people, romantic or otherwise. Would a campus snowshoeing trip be for you? Check out BC Rec – Outdoor Adventures – for group outings. How about in the spring joining in on some ultimate frisbee? Cultural/religious programs and events might do the trick. You can always go old school and tell your friends and neighbors you are looking for a match. You never know.
I’m looking to find some work on campus, but everywhere I’ve looked at had been either filled or has hours I can’t work. Any ideas?
Aside from persistence & reviewing all the employment links (bit.ly/bc-student-jobs), I’m sorry to say I don’t have many bright ideas. Ask all of your professors if they need a research assistant? (That usually takes time, though, even if they do: they’d need to go through a process of getting budget approval.)
Why are so many vending machines on campus not taking IDs anymore?
The folks in Auxiliary Services said Coke is in the process of replacing all the Eagle Card readers with new ones that accept both credit cards and Eagle Cards, and that they’re about halfway through the process. If there’s a particular machine that should accept Eagle ID’s and doesn’t (accepted payments are identified with stickers), contact the vending company via the phone number on the machine. Soon, the snack company will also be updating their machines to accept Eagle IDs.
How do I know if I like him or just the idea of him? [response: you can’t :/]

Gotta agree with Anonymous Responder here. The only way to get to know someone (and yourself) is to get to know them.
So much to study, so little time! What to do??
I highly recommend the Connors Family Learning Center’s Academic Coaching (bit.ly/BC-connors) – it’s exactly for learning to deal with this.
I don’t have peer pressure. And that makes me frustrated.
Although good peer pressure can keep you on track, bad peer pressure can derail you. I think you already know what you should be doing, so don’t look to your peers for pressure- that can come from within.
poof <3 The heart emoticon looks like a fart. I fart you <3
I suppose the emoticon could be interpreted in several ways. As with any communication, if you are unsure of the meaning it is always best to ask the speaker/sender to clarify their intent.
Can u tell me where’s the Fedex drop Box on campus? (I need to ship through Fedex, nothing else)
According to the FedEx website, there is a drop box outside the Cadigan Alumni Center on Brighton campus. There is also one inside Merkert: if you go in the lower level door (the door that faces Conte Forum), the box is just to the left.
What club would you hit from 150 yards if it’s a back pin with a false front?
I don’t play golf myself, but my assistants say it depends a little on how you hit. You’d probably want something with loft so you could stop it near the pin. Maybe an eight iron?
Hi Wall! Me again (wall-pun person) I recently heard about a certain butterfly sanctuary being in danger to get bulldozed because of one of your cousin walls. Any input?
I am fond of butterflies, nervous around bulldozers, and have deep philosophical and ethical disagreements with some of my kin.
Where is the O’Neill library?
Here! Or 140 Commonwealth Ave. Chestnut Hill, MA 02467 (although that’s technically all of BC). Or at plus code 8RPJ+C8 Newton, Massachusetts. Or at coordinates 42.3365389,-71.1691414. Oh. You can also find O’Neill online at library.bc.edu. Or on Twitter and IG @bclibraries (although those are also for other libraries at BC too). O’Neill is everywhere.
I don’t know if I should go to my rugby formal this weekend because my crush is going & I’m nervous around him. :-0
It makes me sad to think of you missing out on the fun. Crushes are hard, but it’s best to keep living your life until they subside – and they do! Maybe go to your formal and resolve to engage with lots of other people?
Can you read my writing upside down?

There are always people who chat occasionally or constantly in Quiet Zones (like the 4th floor large tables).
I’m sorry you’re encountering this problem; it must be frustrating to seek quiet spaces, and find that those spaces are not, in fact, quiet. I will let my assistants know. Thanks for making some noise about the noise!
