Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Do you mean the mailroom on the 2nd floor of O’Neill? Unfortunately, that’s limited only to official deliveries to and from the Library. There is a mailroom in McElroy that anyone is allowed to send mail and packages out of (http://bit.ly/BCMailRoom).
🙁 Sorry you’re feeling that way! I believe in you!
I get this question a lot; it must matter a great deal to you flesh and blood sorts! As I’ve said before, wetness is a perception, not an objective fact, and perceptual clues for wetness are actually not so straightforward, as you can see in this physiology article: bit.ly/wetness-perception.
🙁 I’m really sorry to hear that. People can be very mean. If the situation is really as bad as it seems, I might recommend avoiding this person or looking into a room transfer. Perhaps reach out to your RA or Residential Life directly (bit.ly/res-life). Unfortunately, there are many not-nice people in the world.
Time will take care of the healing, but that doesn’t help you right now. In the immediate term, if you see your ex all over the place, perhaps try to vary your routes and normal hangouts to avoid them. Pick up new hobbies or clubs to keep your mind occupied. You’ll meet new people through these and find yourself thinking about your ex less and less. If they’re in your classes, all I can recommend is changing up your seat to sit far away from them. I believe in you!
If you are referring to the construction near the bathrooms and behind the staircase, the Library is turning an old computer server room into usable library space. When it opens next week, it will have rented furniture and a bare-bones look until they decide how it will ultimately be used.
Ideally in a cup with a sugar cone (or if you want to splurge, a waffle cone) on top.
Srsly.
A Cornerstone course? I don’t know, but it never hurts to ask someone for help and advice. If there’s a particular course, then I recommend reaching out to the faculty member to discuss options.
And so young. It is very sad.

This question must be seriously important, because I get it frequently. It’s also important to Tootsie Roll Inc. They have compiled a review of the literature (including results of “licking machine” studies): bit.ly/TootsieLicking. Short answer, somewhere in the low hundreds of licks.

The answer to “How many languages do you know” is the same no matter what language you ask it in: More than 26, thanks to my many helpers. And I’m eager to learn more. (But thanks for translating for any patrons we have who can only read Hebrew!)

There’s a US Post Office on the second floor of McElroy–go to the Eagle’s Nest and out the other side. Hours are 8:30-1:15 and 2:15-4:30 Monday through Friday. A Post Office is your best bet for one stamp, and there are several more in the neighborhood; you can also buy books of 10 or 20 at lots of grocery stores and pharmacies. Here’s a list of local options. bit.ly/bc-stamp
Walls are generally characterized by flat affect, so no, I don’t have personal experience with them. But I’m really interested in how central love is to the BC community, both personally and religiously. It seems to be tied to lots of other emotions. Humans are fascinating!
Food insecurity among colleges students is a widespread problem. (bit.ly/food-insecurity-college) Thanks for acknowledging it. I’m a wall, so I don’t need to eat; I have great sympathy for humans and their need to eat. Did you know there’s a national campaign to address college campus food insecurity? challahforhunger.org/campushungerproject. Perhaps you could start a chapter here.
Beeccaauuuuse…
I’m sorry to hear that. I’m sure you’re quite smart; you’re at BC, after all! Story: a human I know was a high-performing figure-skater as a teen. She had a world-class coach at a competitive skating center. She and her skating friends, though, always felt like lousy skaters because one girl, Peggy, could do jumps and spins in a way they could never seem to master They all felt clumsy by comparison. Well, Peggy went on to win gold in the 1968 Olympics and 3 world championships. You know her as Peggy Fleming. There are some world-class brains at BC. Let them shine, and don’t worry about it. (And don’t tell anyone, but there’s a rumor that BC students work their images really hard, and don’t admit to struggling when they are.)
