Hey wall! I meow at my therapist throughout last session and now I just can’t stop meowing! Something ab it feels really soothing! LoL

If it’s soothing, right now I wouldn’t advise giving it up. Among things you can do to reduce the anxiety over our current crisis situation, it seems pretty harmless! You might want to consider taking a break from the caterwauling during synchronous online classes. I hope you soon feel soothed enough to purr.

I haven’t been able to sleep normally on my bed ever since BC switched online…… I’d either sleep at some buildings close to the offices that I’m familiar with; or couldn’t fall asleep at all until sunrise. Yes, there’s something ab instability and night/sleep that’s triggering. But since the buildings are mostly locked right now, I guess I might need some pills so I can sleep at regular time?

I’m sorry you’re having so much trouble sleeping – this crisis is causing a lot of sleep problems. I would recommend contacting UHS directly (bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth). You mght want to try some of the recommendations for improving sleep from the Office of Health Promotion or set up a health coaching session with them (bit.ly/BC-health-promo).

Wondering around by itself?!

Turkeys are no fools… which is to say, that turkey ain’t no turkey. (Oh, no, I fear I’m showing my age, using an archaic slang definition of “turkey”: A person or thing of little appeal; dud; loser, or a naive, stupid, or inept person)

I knew this is not the good timing, but #stayathome make me think a lot. I have been watching male adult films since 13 and I’m 24 now. I’m totally respect and understand gay.I just hated myself individually for why I’m gay, I don’t want to be gay, I just wanted everything be normal. I’ve never told anyone, this keep deep inside me, it is so hard sometimes.

Feeling different can be very hard, and I’m sorry you are struggling with this. Honestly, I don’t think a “normal” person exists. Everyone is different in some way, and accepting those differences and being the best possible person is the healthiest way to live. My advice is to stop wishing you were like others and be happy with who you are. If the people around you don’t like it, there are many others who will welcome you into their lives. Also, gay adult films do not reflect reality. Those people are actors being paid to do what the director tells them to do, and many are not even gay. Any relationship you decide to have should reflect only what you and your partner want, and there is an infinite variety of possible relationships.

It lasts until the morning light. Or toda la noche. Depending if you’re going 80s or 20s

But I don’t want to go home….I guess paying the co-pay of $500 to go be locked up in a psych ward would be an option. LoL Nvm I don’t want to overwhelm the already overwhelmed medical setting. 🙂

What’s the sound of a wall sighing, smirking, and crying all at once? That’s what I just did. I hope you can resolve your housing. Contact the Office of Student Outreach and Support: bit.ly/bc-stu-support. They should be able to help you find a way.

Miss you too! Be safe out there.

Lovely! I think one of my assistants once told me they’re a variety of flowering plum.

It sure isn’t easy dealing with all the uncertainty these days. I had a chat with a wall over in ResLife, and she said your best bet was to email her people at summer.housing@bc.edu

I heard from VP Moore during the info meeting with all students on campus that most likely there won’t be summer housing for at least summer session 1…….But I don’t want to go home…..

Wishing you the joy of renewal and hope for the future.

Unlikely at best. Skunks, like many domesticated animals, enjoy exploring; however, unlike many animals, they tend not to be able to find their way back home. They’re also hard to control, and use their long claws to dig, which means deep scratches in furniture and walls. All in all, I don’t recommend it. It’s also not clear they pass muster under MA law: bit.ly/MA-wild-pets

“The future is cloudy, please try again,” as my distant cousin the Magic 8-Ball often says. I am reasonably certain that even UCS doesn’t know when they’ll be back on campus. Certainly, none of my own assistants do. I’m sorry you feel like you could drown in your tears. ?. Yes, this wall can cry. Sometimes I’m afraid for my human friends, sometimes sad because you’re all gone, and sometimes sad because I empathize with your pain. I’m stingy with tears, though, because I don’t want to cause a short-circuit in the wiring ?

Cute! I am not surprised Stinky didn’t care for your kind offer; skunks are repelled by citrus. Feeding wild skunks is not generally recommended. But if you wanted a pet skunk… https://bit.ly/StripeyPet

BC & sunsets are a really nice pairing. Thanks for the lovely photo! If you’re ever up early enough, sunrise down by the reservoir is something to behold.

I can’t get a closer pic of them without them running away from me…… I guess those geese on BC campus are more sensitive? Last year the geese at the hospital tried to bite me when I approached them…… (that’s another reason why BC shouldn’t send students to the hospital, it increase the risk of students being wounded by the geese!) No worries I’m healthy and happy on campus, but any thoughts on what to do for fun? I feel so bored that I mint start chasing geese again……

Geese are notoriously cranky, so it’s best to give them some space. You’re bored? OK, I always forget humans have a much lower capacity for just hanging out than I do. There are about as many lists of suggestions for things to do online as there are grains of sand. Here’s one that looks decent: bit.ly/bc-bored. Boston.com does a weekly list of reasons to get out of the house on the weekend, but they’ve flipped it–here are their suggestions: bit.ly/bc-bored1. Those are some starting places, anyway. Stay safe, be well.

Edited: For student who go abroad, does the insurance that BC requires us to purchase covers therapy here in Boston? E.g. Can I still do virtual therapy session with my therapist even if we’re in two parts of the world, with whatever that global insurance plan BC requires? (Lol if I’m not kicked out by the therapist by then loooool) How’s it different from BC’s BCBS student plan? meow?

I don’t know. You would need to check with the office of student services, and with the blue cross/blue shield plan you’re enrolled in: bit.ly/bc-insurance. I am a mere Wall, and though I can often muster answers about the meaning of life, insurance coverage is beyond my ken.

(Btw, thank you BC for the very needed meal plan assistance)

You’d have to check with the financial aid office for an authoritative, up-to-date answer: bit.ly/bc-fin-aid

The FA office has responded! (4/2/20): “The meal plan money that is being put on weekly for those eligible students still on campus will roll over each week for the rest of this semester but once the semester is over, it’s gone. It does not roll forward into next year’s plan.”

Awwwww bunny-wunny is adorbs!

Eerie! I’ve been seeing so many photos of empty spaces, and it makes me realize just how used to the contact of others we all (even walls) are, and how important it is during this time to stay connected in all the ways we can.
