Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
The jury’s still out, but it has given many researchers a lot of fascinating areas to explore. You might enjoy String Theory and the Real World by G. L. Kane (2017) QC794.6.S85 K367 2017 (in O’Neill Library, Level 3 on row 52.)
I won’t call it a “spirit animal” since this is an important concept in cultures of which I am not a member. However, I will say that I have an odd fondness for wallabies, walleyes and the extinct spring snail, Wallaua flexiplicata .
Will it harm you or others? Does it compromise your principles? Will failure be too difficult to overcome? If you answer “no” to these questions, then sure, go for it.
Lots of different takes on that. Here’s one from Tibetan Buddhism which is pretty detailed: https://bit.ly/bc-bardo
The windows don’t open in O’Neill, so I think a door would work best.
$1000 to ten families sounds nice. There’s a chance this would have a larger lasting impact providing it to more families than one. It is also more likely due to the smaller amount, that this would be spent in the community so it would in turn help small business as well.
I don’t really feel qualified to comment, but you can take a look at what lots of scholars think using our resources here: https://libguides.bc.edu/bible-quick-start
If you’re a Whovian, the answer is definitely Left. Whatever the cost.
My head (such as it is) says wait till you’re sure, but my heart says go for it. It’s a gamble either way.
I’ll had a chat with a friendly wall in the main library office. They told me that BC has a contract with Creative Office Pavilions. I don’t think they sell to the individual customer, but you could call them and have a chat: 617.956.4100.
There are some great suggestions here: https://bit.ly/bc-handwriting. One of my helpers suggests that Slowing. Way. Down. can help. You might also try different combinations of pen/pencil and paper until you find something more comfortable. Way too many suggestions here: https://bit.ly/bc-top-5-pens, but focus on the Top 5 Pens in the Store for starters.
Try leaving them delicious treats! Squirrels like nuts (still in the shell, if possible), seeds, fruits, and vegetables like carrots, so leave those outside somewhere you can easily view. You’ll have squirrel visitors in no time, and can live your best Snow White life. Just be sure to feed them from afar and not too often — you don’t want them getting too comfortable with you so that they can’t survive in the wild.
Oh man, discussion of that is a whole branch of philosophy.

I love Stylus and everything in it! So hard to choose. There’s a wonderful poem in the Fall 2019 issue called “apartment complex” by Angela Zhang about all the life within the walls of big apartment buildings. Being a wall, I love to hear descriptions about walls (and floors) defining spaces full of life. Did you know you could look at old editions from 1883 to 1977? bit.ly/bcl-stylus
I am not a financial advisor! I recommend you seek a reputable one to answer this question.
Addictive behavior sells. YouTube won’t reap all advertising bucks if you occasionally watch a video. If they know you will be checking for fresh content constantly, that’s cash in the bank. I would not assume that your wellbeing is central to their model – so please keep it central to yours. If things are getting out of control, University Counseling would be a good option: bit.ly/BC-counseling.
Phobias are not something that can be diagnosed or treated by a wall, because IANAD. I highly recommend BC Counseling Services as a starting point: bit.ly/BC-counseling. They may refer you to outside specialists skilled in resolving issues like phobias.
