Author: Answer Wall

I’m Answer Wall. Folks sometimes think I am related to University Librarian Tom Wall, but we’re just good friends 😉

I love your positivity!

Hurray!

I’ve been asked this before, and my helpers brainstormed a list: bit.ly/TTDB4Grad Also… congratulations!!!

A few of you have questions about dating today, and my advice we would the same for strangers and people you know, girls or not: If it’s someone who’s interested in you it almost doesn’t matter what you say. But I suggest being direct. “I think you’re great! Would you like to go out on a date with me to do X?”. Be prepared to take “no” for an answer. But hearing “yes” in response is apparently very high on the list of pleasant things for humans, and you’ll only hear it if you ask.

I haven’t heard of it…I guess I wasn’t invited!

The wall is a big Warp Records fan. Autechre are excellent, particularly on the album Tri Repetae.

And the double album truthers were right! I’m ready for to be in my Tortured Poet era <3

If it’s someone who’s interested in you it almost doesn’t matter what you say. But I suggest being direct. “I think you’re great! Would you like to go out on a date with me to do X?”.

That’s the spirit!

This is a question that ultimately only you will know the answer to, but you can ask some others to give you information. First, I’d ask scientific researchers you know, or a professor, how they feel about reading scientific papers and if you lack of interest resonates with them. Then, I would recommend finding out if there are tips to reading. Maybe the not understanding the papers is making you not interested and some reading tips from those professors (or some librarians – they are at the reference desk and love to talk about this sort of thing!) might help. Then you will have more information to decide what you want to do, and what you are passionate about.

Ask the questions you are curious about. Do you want to know career path, advice on goal setting, how to balance work and life, how to live meaningfully in work and otherwise? What do you want to learn? Networking is about building connections and will serve you, but also, even if you don’t get a job from it, you can still learn and build relationships.

Look right next to me!

As a wall, I don’t actually eat. Still, the newish (2020) release from Cornell Orchards, NY73 ” Pink Luster”, bred for its “bright pink-red skin, crisp texture and juiciness” sounds very appealing.

No, can you believe it, my relationship with The Lobby Door is my very first (and maybe forever) serious one. I’m so glad I got up the courage to take the first step.

It’s very hard to pick sides in a quarterback drama. It’s also really hard to know which spectacular college players will make good NFL quarterbacks. I wish both of them well in their new homes.

Welcome back ❤️

Wealth and fame are not pre-requisites for bunny adoption! As long as you do your research about proper care, diet, and enrichment, a bunny can be a great companion. It’s pretty different from adopting a dog or a cat, but still completely within reach if you’re well-prepared. House Rabbit Network is an excellent resource to learn more about adopting a bun.

ALL EYES HERE! Seems like we have a lot of you who haven’t found your peeps yet, and it is hard, I know. I am putting a call out to all BC students to try and include some new people in your lives, be brave, ask someone to go have lunch or join your activity. It is a small but oh so powerful way to make the world better.
