Does not strike me as a good idea at all!
Should I get conkied this weekend?
Does reductionalism exist?
Do you mean reductionism? (without the “al”?) Yes. It’s a thing, and and appears mostly in the context of philosophical treatments of empiricism and positivism. Here’s a helpful entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP): http://bit.ly/sep-reduction. “Reductionalism” appears once in error in the SEP in the title of an article by Richard Rorty in a bibliographic entry. It should be “Reductionism.”
I hate all the group projects
Group projects are a hassle in a setting like college where individual performance is emphasized so heavily. However, they are good training for the real world where you will almost never be individually responsible for a project. For most of your career, you will succeed and fail on the merits of not just yourself, but of your team. Whether you are the leader of that team or a contributor, the team is what will get it done. To put it in perspective: after your first 12 months out of college, no one will care what your GPA was. But for the rest of your career you will be judged on how good a team member you are.
Is that really tall red head tennis player a human, robot, or some type of cyborg???
Actually he is a fictional character from David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest named John “No Relation” Wayne: “… he’s all business. His face on court is blankly rigid, with hypertonic masking of schizophrenics and Zen adepts. He tends to look straight ahead at all times. He is about as reserved as they come. His emotions emerge in terms of velocity. Intelligence as strategic focus. His play, like his manner in general, seems to Schacht less alive than undead.”
Recently, I was told I fart like a toddler. How do I stop this from becoming a recurring thing?
To fart less like a toddler, try to suppress it until you’re not chilling with Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood, while sporting Oshkosh B’Gosh threads, slugging down a juice box, and gorging on a GoGo squeeZ. To truly level up your farting adultness, follow each outburst with a remark like “This Trivento 2016 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is truly top-notch, but it does generate gas…”
Girls Next Door OR B*tcha**?
I’m more of an HGTV fan, myself.
Where are Kermans Keys
IDK, but I’ve heard some people have luck with this little prayer to St. Anthony: St. Anthony, St. Anthony, please come around, something is lost and can’t be found. Maybe someone turned them in to lost and found? In O’Neill Library, try the circulation desk. If they were lost elsewhere, try BC Police.
Do you want a UCLA sweatshirt?
Thanks so much for the generous offer! But I’m a) a Wall, and finding a sweatshirt that fits has always been challenging and b) I’m at BC, and there’s plenty of good team gear here. So, no thank you, but I’ll keep an ear out for my California cousins.
I saw a really fluffy, cute one in front of Stokes around 3AM Thursday morning! Maybe u can check it out! :P
If you see that one again, tell it to drop by O’Neill Library, but please, no offense, to stay outside.
How do I know if a racoon attacked me on Dec 1st?
Think back to December 1st. Did a you get attacked by an animal on that day? If yes, was that animal raccoon-like? If yes, was that animal a raccoon? There you are. In all seriousness, if you did get bitten/scratched by a wild animal and you’re not sure what kind of animal it was, you should probably go to a doctor to have them check it out. There are a lot of nasty diseases out there.
Do you have any questions for me?
What suggestions do you have for things you would like to see at the library?
All great ideas! Keep ’em coming! I’ll pass them all along to people who might be able to make something happen.
Become an OL
Becoming an Orientation Leader could be a great way to meet Fr. Leahy (and have a great experience introducing FY students to BC). Applications are due in January for the following summer: bit.ly/BC-FYE-OL
Why did they turn the fans off in the plex? And they don’t open the door for air anymore. It’s 100 degrees & SUFFOCATING even in the winter.
Why is my butt so sweaty?
Butts don’t sweat more than the rest of the body; it’s just that other parts of the body let sweat wick away via clothing and evaporate. The butt is often sitting on a surface that blocks wicking or evaporation. Get up and move around more often. And maybe try clothing designed for wicking (or just cotton fabric).
Want one your thoughts on the thought of the thought by the thought?!
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:/ His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation/ Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:/ His ineffable effable/ Effanineffable/ Deep and inscrutable singular Name.
What can I do at BC on the weekends?
Check out the BC Events calendar: http://events.bc.edu/calendar. Or if you want to break-out a bit and explore what Boston/Cambridge/Somerville have to offer, take a look at the The Boston Calendar: bit.ly/boston-events-free (there are lots of free events listed). Speaking of Cambridge, my helpers tell me that the Hi-Rise Bread Company has tasty food.
WHY DOES SHE LIKE BITING ME?
![WHY DOES SHE LIKE BITING ME? [Response: SHE IS A VAMPIRE -- or worse -- a cannibal.]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/aw032019-4.jpg)
Could be any number of reasons; vampire or cannibal top the list, for sure. However, is the “she” in question a toddler? Could be teething. A cat? Cats just dig that sort of thing. A grown up woman? It could be physically arousing. Or, if you are being very, very annoying – sometimes you just want to bite someone.
What is the best dog insta account to follow?

I think you’ve got your answers! Norbert and finding_nola are good dogs. 13/10, for sure. I might add, for big variety, WeRateDogs, which will make it clear very fast that all dogs are the best dogs.
How do I deal with turning 20?
Own it; rejoice in it; experience it. The future is still vast ahead of you, but you’re old enough now to be feeling your independence, making your own decisions, and discovering what a meaningful life is for you. Happy birthday!
Kiki??
I’m down for you always.
