So tempting, isn’t it – those adorable furballs! But best to leave all wild creatures alone. They can carry diseases and parasites (see: bit.ly/BunZoonoses), and also may not welcome your attention.
Can I pet a campus bun?
How often should I call my parents?
This would be a good issue to discuss with them: how often do they want you to call? How often do you want to call them? Do you want to set up a specific schedule (like every Sunday evening at 8 PM) or be more organic about it? In general, I would recommend erring on the side of calling more than less – even just a short call to let them know you’re ok and thinking of them is very nice.
Is it OK for a junior to hook up with a sophomore or freshman or is it just gross?
The age difference seems pretty negligible (though one concern is it might be possible – though highly unlikely – for a freshman to still be below the age of consent).Whether hooking up is a good idea is another question, though. I would recommend the junior and the sophomore/freshman get to know each other better, before deciding on any further action.
What is 0/0?
![[Response: It does not exist. 0 can't be at the denominator. Hope that's correct.]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/aw041819-12.jpg)
The operation x/y asks what you must multiply y by to get x. For 0/0 the answer is “anything you want.” Because 1 times 0 is 0, but 3 times 0 is also 0 and 452 times 0 is zero, etc. So no single number is THE answer and it is considered indeterminate.
How do I make Thomas love me back?
You can’t make someone love you. All you can do is be a loving and respectful person to him. If he doesn’t love you back, you have to find someone else who will.

It has finally happened, you have stumped the wall.
Thank you for being here wall
You’re welcome. And I thank you for being here as well.
Who is Ben Thomas? You, actually, we are all Ben Thomas.
There are hundreds (thousands?) of people named Ben Thomas, so it’s difficult to say who he is. If you find one, go ahead and ask him.
Help! How can I survive as a senior if I don’t turn 19 until after I graduate?
19 as a senior in college? That’s quite impressive. I have every confidence that you will succeed given how far you’ve come so quickly.
19 as a senior in high school? Well plenty of college students start when they’re 18 and some are even 17 when they begin college. You’re doing great!
How do you know if a guy likes you?
Asking him will likely get better results than attempted mind-reading. At some point you’ll find the guy you don’t need to ask that question about. Maybe it’ll be this guy.
Taking 15-19 credits too many/ Sad for senior year fall semester?
You have almost 3 years experience at BC; how does it feel to you when you think about carring that kind of course load? Consider what additional obligations you may have (job hunting? Grad school applications?). One option is to sign up for the classes now and if it all seems too much next Fall, you can drop something during the drop/add period. Also, check in with your academic advisor to get their take.
Top 5 things to do while in Madrid?
Here are my top 5 recommendations: Go to a Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid fútbol game. Visit El Prado museum. Have tapas and drinks at a rooftop bar on Plaza de la Cebada. Walk along the Gran Vía. Eat churros at the Chocolatería San Ginés.
Humans are born to suffer.
It does seem a little dark for a holiday weekend, but you do you. Explaining suffering is a big deal cosmological problem. The first of Buddhism’s Four Noble Truths is that human life is bound up with suffering. http://bit.ly/bc-suffer1. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam also have their own reactions and ways of seeing suffering. http://bit.ly/bc-suffer2.
Who’s a good philosophy teacher?
Forgive the philosophical answer, but that depends on what you’re looking for in a philosophy teacher. A good starting place might be to check out RateMyProfessor and see who scores well: http://bit.ly/BCPhilProfRatings.

Sleep soon! The semester is almost done. I believe in you.
Best way to learn kanji?
One thing that can help with memorization is getting several of your senses involved. Write it out by hand, then write out the translation. Speak it aloud while you do that, so you can feel your mouth making the sounds while you hear them. Then use flash cards. Then get a friend to quiz you. You could also look at books like this one, on adult language acquisition: http://bit.ly/bc-fluent.
Tennis ball sized head or watermelon sized head?
It’s hard to see how either of those would work for me. But I wouldn’t want to judge for humans.
Why does [equation] have four solutions [equation] where p = 8k + 1?
The Answer Wall hasn’t studied number theory or quadratic reciprocity, so I can’t help you find the solutions for this system of congruences. If you are interested in finding the solutions, I recommend you take MATH4430 Introduction to Number Theory or speak to Professor Robert Gross who teaches that course (http://bit.ly/RobertGross). Alternatively, you could speak to any of our Math department faculty who specialise in Number Theory – Avner Ash, Solomon Friederg, Robert Gross, Benjamin Howard, Dube Kelmer, or Keerthi Madapusi Pera (http://bit.ly/numtheoryresearch). Good luck!
Nicki or Cardi????
Why choose? These are two phenominally talented women who both deserve to have their music appreciated.
