PLEASE don’t try this. Not really sure how you’re envisioning this working, as helium is only solid at a temperature around absolute zero.

If you’re in student housing, use your local lounge, which ought to be pretty quiet while everyone else sleeps. Academic building locks are set to open at 6:30am on the weekends, so you could, for example, go to Stokes and use the seating on the ground floor near the Chocolate Bar.

So many of them are good, it’s a tough call. Here’s one ranking that you might productively disagree with: bit.ly/metal-gear-ranked.

I suspect they just have bad manners. I’m sorry 🙁

Best bets are just to the right of the main stairs on floors 2, 4, and 5. There are also single stall restrooms on level 1 and 3.

I mean, don’t do that. But I suppose you could use the Boston College IRB’s guidelines as an anti-template. You could also watch season 1 of Batman: The Animated Series, where there are lots of profs at Gotham University doing unethical things.

She doesn’t need a reason. And I know it’s hard, but don’t take it personally. Cheerfully go forward and look for someone who wants you the way you want them.

That sounds like a great conversation starter for serious basketball fans, because a good case can be made for either.

This sounds like something a medical professional can advise on much better than me! 

My library assistants all love learning new things, which is why they work in a library. Why not learn some chemistry? If not now, when? But talk it over with your advisor to make sure you’ve got enough room for your major, minor, & core courses.

If you mean Cristiano Ronaldo, he does have a claim to that title based on titles won and career stats, through Lionel Messi, Pele, and Diego Maradona all have strong cases in each of their favors.
