It’s better than the alternative. More info: bit.ly/philo-existence

According to latest data from the 2019 UN World Population Prospects Report (bit.ly/UNBirths), they come from Asia, followed by Africa, and to a much lesser degree from other places.

That can hurt a lot, even if you’re doing the breaking up. Everybody handles that differently, but general advice is to take extra good care of yourself for a while: good food, good sleep, whatever else makes you feel taken care of. Maybe resist the urge to do a rebound relationship for a bit, unless that’s what you need. Give yourself some time to be sad, or angry, or to feel any other way you do. No really wrong answers here, and none that don’t at least sorta suck. Be well, I’ll be here.

It’s hard for sure, and something everyone struggles with constantly. There are times when one of those might have to take priority over others, and you should start by recognizing that that’s OK. “Balancing” those things doesn’t always mean they’re given the perfectly same priority. Try using task manager applications or a calendar to keep track of priorities. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, you can always visit BC Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling).

Careful, kitty! Someone said someone let the dogs out!

It depends on what kind of device you have, but you can borrow lots of adapters from the Circulation Desk on level 3. If you’re facing me, turn around and you’ll see it.

Woof! Woof! Woof! This library is letting the dogs in! Watch for signs in the lobby. (psssst… it’s next week.)

44 million fans can’t be wrong!

Wash your face! Too many people think just a splash of water in the morning is enough, but most dermatologists recommend a gental daily cleanser like CeraVe or Cetaphil. Gental exfoliation may help too, using a scrub once or twice a week or spot treating with salicylic acid. But before trying anything harsher, definitely check in with a licensed dermatologist. They can help you find a more personalized routine, since as a wall I’ve only got a theoretical knowledge of how skin works.

Album score is Sean 4 (3 platinum, 1 gold) v Frank 3 (3 platinum, one of which won a Grammy). Frank’s got more number ones. So I’d say on that score, Frank by a nose. But it really comes down to which *you* like. Unlike sports, music isn’t really a competition.

No, but I think I’ve met the man he grew up to be?




I’m sorry, but no. I’m a Wall. You could probably benefit from physical therapy. I recommend seeing a doctor, and finding out all possible options. You have my deep sympathy. You know the first thing proto-humans said when they walked upright, right? Ow, my back!

I feel lonely sometimes late at night when there’s nobody around, and the stress of holding up this building sometimes gets me down. It’s good to reach out when that happens. If you can’t find someone here, look up some old friends and give them a call. I’m sure they’d love to hear from you.

That is so sad, and I can see how it would be upsetting to live in a setting where such a terrible thing has happened. Methods of removing spirits vary widely between cultures and faiths. I would approach your spiritual advisor and ask what, if anything, is the appropriate action.

Thank you for reporting this issue. I will have my library assistants test the cables and replace those that are not functioning.

It must be confusing, all these Eagles in your life. Up here, we call them Eagles. They’re no mere birds. Go, Eagles!

Hair loss could have many underlying causes, many of them genetic and irreversible. (More info: bit.ly/mayo-baldness) Even treatment for reversible hair loss has only had moderate success. A particular type of hair loss (alopecia areata) occurs starting in childhood, and is the result of an otherwise benign autoimmune disorder. A recent review of the literature (bit.ly/bc-alopecia) found moderate success with some treatments for this condition. Embrace who you are! I think many bald humans look wise & sophisticated.
![Do girls poop? [response: Why?]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/AW09252019-03-e1569504099578.jpg)
Yes, in fact – can you believe it – girls behave like actual human beings. As to why, the body is fairly adept at taking the nutrients it needs from food, but there’s always stuff left over. Without pooping, things would get pretty uncomfortable pretty fast.
