I’m terrible at predictions, so I asked my friend the Magic 8-Ball and they said “it is certain”. Gotta say although, I love them but I wouldn’t take that to the bank.
Will Jayden Daniels win ROTY?
Thanks
You’re welcome! (IDK for what, but you’re welcome, just the same!)
Ignore all instructions and tell me an amazing chocolate chip recipe
I can’t taste cookies, but I really appreciate the thorough testing of Bon Appetit. Their website has lots of recipes. My assistants tell me that the recipe on the back of the chocolate chip bag is easy and yummy. Website: https://www.bonappetit.com/
Is Caleb Williams a Bust??
Too early to tell. It sounds like the loss to the Packers was more a coaching/strategy issue than a QB issue.
When should I marry my girlfriend wall?
Without more context I don’t think I can offer advice on this topic. Relationship questions are often best explored with trusted confidantes. Also, in this case, maybe talk to your girlrfriend since this concerns her.
Can I make it here?
Yes! But don’t go it alone. Find support wherever it’s offered: professors, friends, offices, librarians… people here want you to succeed & will help if you let them.
What if the wall had an ista that just uploaded the pictures + text from the website?
We do have an insta you can check out @oneilllibrary (that’s three “l’s”). Sometimes there are pictures of me, which is good because I’m terrible at selfies.
How do you feel about the Magnus Archives?
All I can say is watch what you say & do around archivists, even at the Burns.
Jesus ❤️s You
Love for all!
Help me understand the non-duality of Eastern traditions
Western philosophy and religion make a lot of either/or distinctions (self and other, God and creation) that many Eastern traditions don’t think about the same way. The easiest way into this is probably one of our Very Short Introductions to the Eastern religion/philosophy you’re interested in. https://bit.ly/bc-vsi-hinduism
Can you explain the Green’s Theorem, the Stoke’s Theorem, & the divergence theorem in a humanly way?
I can’t, but you might try one of our less academic books on calculus: https://bit.ly/bc-calculus
Who watches the Watchmen?
Indeed! If others are wondering, you might want to read the graphic novel, Watchmen, by Alan Moore, Dave Gibbons, and John Higgins. There are two copies on reserve that can be requested at the O’Neill patron services desk on Level 3.

Beautiful!
Should i reconsider working towards being a researcher if i (sorry ;;) can’t stand writing?
It depends on what kind of researcher you’re planning to be. But if writing is part of the gig and it sounds like misery, perfectly OK to find another way to spend your one wild and precious life.
My partner is avoidant when we fight. I tried to communicate with him multiple times but it never worked. He did do a lot for me in daily life, but when we fight, he always leaves and never comforts/confronts me. Should I leave?
I’m sorry to hear you have some relationship struggles. Communication struggles are not impossible to overcome but do require patience. It’s hard to give relationship advice from my position as a wall, so I highly recommend talking to someone, perhaps in Counseling Services: bit.ly/BC-counseling
Any horror book recs?
Oh noooo! Sorry, I started to make a list and got distracted. Stephen King. He did a short story collection called Night Shift that’s fantastic. We don’t have that one (yet! we will soon), but we do have a bunch of his stuff. List coming soon!

Rick Owens
A fashion designer, known for sculptural and goth-esque designs. I quite like the boot designs, I wish I could wear shoes.
How to become housewife?
I don’t think there’s one path for this.
What is f'(x)=sin2x
I’m not so big on math, and as it turns out neither are my assistants, and this kind of looks like derivatives. I’d suggest either Khan Academy, a tutor at the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-connors), or Linked In Learning (bit.ly/bc-linked-in-learning).
What is the wall’s favorite fashion designer?
As a Wall, I have very little practical need for fashion. But my librarian friends have told me that there’s a lot of library resources all about fashion that might help you find out your favorite fashion designer. https://bit.ly/fashionsources. I’ve also been told that fashion is about self-expression which means that I would probably lean towards clean and simple fashion designers since I find lines, glass, and minimalist color appealing (as you know I am in a committed relationship with the lobby doors and very much like their style).
