Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I and my assistants enjoyed the balloon. I’m sorry other people didn’t enjoy the gesture. Perhaps others aren’t accustomed to receiving missives the way I am? If someone perceived harm through your actions (even if you didn’t intend it), you would need to be the one to apologize. I can’t really do it on your behalf; that’s just the nature of apology.
C’est une question difficile. People and things are different. Despite these differences, being sure to consider everyone and everthing fairly would be one way of being equal.
He comes every year for commencement with the exception of 2013, when he protested BC’s choice of commencement speaker, Enda Kenny, the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, over his views on abortion. He also attends C21 events from time to time. One way to hear him is to go to a weekday noon mass at the Archdiocese pastoral center. Call the pastoral center to see if he’ll be at the mass, or whether there are other opportunities to hear him in the area. bit.ly/cardinal-sean
Thanks, that was incredibly sweet of you. The balloon and I got to talking and it turns out we are third cousins, once removed – how about that?

The BC Career Center can help you out with your job search in many ways. Why not set up a meeting with them: bit.ly/BC-career. Best of luck!
Do you mean facilitated communication? Yes, it has been widely discredited. Here is a recent systematic review about it: bit.ly/FCRevArt.
I’d say both, but in different ways. A derivative is going to tell you about what’s going on at a particular moment, and it’s important to live in the moment. But the whole area under the curve of your life is also important to show you the big picture. The derivative may cloud your mind during rough periods (“I’m going downhill fast!”), but integrating over the course of your life (with the limits being birth and death) can reassure you that this is just a phase.
Learn to love yourself. Also dodge, duck, dip, dive, and….dodge. (P.S. does anyone actually know what a vibe check is?)
I’m planning on hanging around here a long time. To become one of my helpers, you generally have to be a regular library employee at BC. That’s a pretty sweet job, too; my helpers say this is one of the best libraries to work at. But we are brainstorming ways to bring in more student voices to the answering side of me. So stay tuned!

I’m so sorry to hear that. It makes me think of a very old song, which might make you feel better–that is an old story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS9U75YC-jA
Everybody processes that part of their lives differently, and not always on the same schedule as everyone else. If it makes you uncomfortable or causes problems for you it might be worth talking to a therapist or counselor (Campus Health Services can help with that), but I’m reading more puzzlement than distress in your question. Be yourself, you’ll be fine.
Sounds like a cool idea, but I doubt you’ll catch many gators in Chestnut Hill. The nuisance species here seems to be the wild turkey.
![To what extent can [you] assign blame to people who fall in the face of adversity?](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/AW10292019-07.jpg)
Why does blame need to be placed in a situation where someone has fallen in the face of adversity? Failure, while sometimes demotivating, is an important part of learning — rather than asking yourself Whose fault is this?, try asking What can this teach me?

I’m sorry people are doing that. Perhaps let them know that they aren’t the first to notice. Or say, “It’s my cross to bear; I didn’t choose it.” It isn’t remotely meaningful that your surname happens to rhyme with a word in English. Maybe you could even learn all about penguins, and use the tired joke as a cue to inundate someone with penguin facts?
I would say having a very idealistic view of someone suggests infatuation. Placing someone on a pedestal like that can often lead to flaws being ignored and lofty expectations not being met. Love, on the other hand sometimes means having affection for someone whilst being more accepting of whatever flaws they may have.
One of my helpers suggested you name specifics needs: I need some time for x (for example, writing projects, meeting friends for coffee, quiet time to do work, etc.). Hopefully your partner will be understanding. If not, it might be time to reevaluate if you and your partner have compatible rhythms, and expectations.
Do you mean the new country in the Balkans, slightly smaller than Connecticut, recently a region of Yugoslavia, and before that an independent state after breaking from the Ottoman Empire? It’s an old place with a long history, but a relatively new independent country, currently rebuilding its infrastructure and economy after many years being part of Yugoslavia and sustaining damage during wars in the 1990’s. The coastline and mountains are beautiful. More info: bit.ly/cia-montenegro. Or do you mean the dark comedy Swedish film from 1981?
He would rob Lowe’s, Rob Lowe (so you know), and he would rob all the Lowe’s a Rob Lowe could rob if a Rob Lowe could rob Lowe’s.
