Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
So many fab walls… even my Dad’s from there! He’s a load-bearing interior wall of a formal dining room in a prewar classic 6 on the upper east side. I have relatives in residences, businesses, and schools in all 5 boroughs including my stunning cousin in The Bronx (bit.ly/BxSciMural). So NYC will always have a warm place in my heart.
It is what they’re accustomed to? It provides a structure to their lives? They can’t imagine another, better existence? Fear? Hopelessness? Powerlessness? So many possible reasons… We have books on the psychology of oppression around the HM1250 range (4th floor, row 104) that might interest you.
Life is short. Go for it!
Agree, it’s good. Taylor’s on a roll!
You’re asking a wall why BC is weird. And the wall is answering you. There’s at least part of your answer.
There is help available. Call or visit the Connors Family Learning Center (2-0611 or O’Neill Library 2nd fl.) and sign up for peer tutoring. Meet with your professor, either during their office hours (that’s what they’re for) or by setting up an appt. with them, and let them know you are working hard but struggling. I’d also advise checking in with your advisor if you think you are failing. We all want you to succeed!
Hi, Everett! I don’t eat, so I don’t stock them, but it seems like this campus is a pretty great place to forage. Happy hunting!
IDK, I think I’d rather have a sweet dream and wake up and tell someone about it. I’m concerned that you’d prefer not to wake up. The waking world can sometimes be awful (bad things happen even to good people) but it can also be joyful. I hope you can stick with it through the hard times so you can get to the good times. If that’s difficult, please talk to someone about it: a friend, a family member, or a counselor at University Counseling: http://bit.ly/BC-counseling.
YouTube is great and you can learn all kinds of things there, but not all people learn well that way, and not all subjects can be taught that way. You’re paying for the prestige of a top-ranked college and the networking opportunities that offers. You’re paying for the location. And most importantly, you’re paying for the professional expertise of the faculty, librarians, and staff who make the college run.
Hello! Pleased to meet you!
У меня все хорошо! I’m always happy to see someone learning a language.
Beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to a lovely poem and a poet I was unfamiliar with. I look forward to reading more of Nizar Qabbani’s work. We have several books in our collection in O’Neill at call number PJ7858.A2.
A Wall friend in Lower thinks you can pull it off with a bagel for breakfast, the sub line for lunch, and a large salad for dinner.
Though Thanksgiving is primarily a family holiday (and for some, “Friendsgiving”), many restaurants do feature special Thanksgiving dinners. If you can’t score an invitation with friends or a family of a friend, here’s a list of Boston area restaurants hosting Thanksgiving dinners: bit.ly/boston-restaurants-thanksgiving2021
At this very moment, you. You’re the best.
The masters that Taylor now fully owns rights to are all my favorites.
I’m well, thank you! I love where I live, but I’ll also quote Louis Pasteur: “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.”
Hi Friend! So good to see you. ?
Thank you! Any day with more questions to ponder is a wonderful day. I hope the same for you.
