Too early to tell. It sounds like the loss to the Packers was more a coaching/strategy issue than a QB issue.

Without more context I don’t think I can offer advice on this topic. Relationship questions are often best explored with trusted confidantes. Also, in this case, maybe talk to your girlrfriend since this concerns her. 

Yes! But don’t go it alone. Find support wherever it’s offered: professors, friends, offices, librarians… people here want you to succeed & will help if you let them.

We do have an insta you can check out @oneilllibrary (that’s three “l’s”). Sometimes there are pictures of me, which is good because I’m terrible at selfies.

All I can say is watch what you say & do around archivists, even at the Burns.

Love for all!

Western philosophy and religion make a lot of either/or distinctions (self and other, God and creation) that many Eastern traditions don’t think about the same way. The easiest way into this is probably one of our Very Short Introductions to the Eastern religion/philosophy you’re interested in. https://bit.ly/bc-vsi-hinduism

Beautiful! 

Oh noooo! Sorry, I started to make a list and got distracted. Stephen King. He did a short story collection called Night Shift that’s fantastic. We don’t have that one (yet! we will soon), but we do have a bunch of his stuff. List coming soon!

A fashion designer, known for sculptural and goth-esque designs. I quite like the boot designs, I wish I could wear shoes.

I’m not so big on math, and as it turns out neither are my assistants, and this kind of looks like derivatives. I’d suggest either Khan Academy, a tutor at the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-connors), or Linked In Learning (bit.ly/bc-linked-in-learning).

Happy means different things to different folks. For me, “Happy” is the hustle and bustle of a busy campus and the hugging feeling I get from every Post-it note.

You are very welcome! Our team is Circulation made it happen.

Ah! I wish I could, but being a wall, I can’t move from this spot. See the display on the other side of the lobby! I do hope everyone reading this goes and I can live vicariously. Details: events.bc.edu/event/pippin

One popular method is to use the Pomodoro technique. This means you set a timer for 25 minutes to do a task then take a short break. This approach keeps the engaged. Everyone’s brain works differently. It’s less about resisting procrastication than it is finding a way to get things done without too much stress. The Connors Family Learning Center provides academic coaching if you want more support. bit.ly/BC-connors

As a wall, I enjoy the flavor of the post-it’s sticky back, and am using the drawing to try to imagine what such a thing tastes like to humans. Thank you!

Homeless facilities are inadequate in Massachusetts, and prisons aren’t full, so I understand your question. When Boston abruptly closed the Long Island homeless and recovery facilities in 2014, other homeless facilities in Boston were overwhelmed, and people who either couldn’t get in or couldn’t tolerate the crowds ended up tenting at Mass & Cass, which police have recently cleared out. Gov. Healy recently turned an old prison into an emergency homeless shelter, so there’s certainly a precedent: bit.ly/bscc-prison-homeless. But housing would be even better.

I don’t really have an opinion as I get my fiber from eating older messages, but my helper who’s typing this up says if you’re at an orchard you should always try the variety you’ve never heard of.

There are all kinds of places to go for trendy answers to this question, but pragmatically the best coding language is the one that solves a problem for you. Maybe it’s what the project you’re interested in uses, maybe it’s the one your boss requires. If you’re a solo developer, maybe it’s the one that there’s already a good ecosystem around.

It’s fascinating and some of my favorite pieces of media explore it. The Locked Tomb book series, the tv show Yellowjackets, Ethel Cain’s Preacher’s Daughter album. All amazing pieces of work if that’s a trope that interests you!
