Mostly bipedal?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes, the Social Work Library will be moving too. But it will have windows, a garden view, and be just a short shuttle ride away.

While the specific use of that space has not been determined, once Social Work has moved to Newton East, a possible use for the vacated spaces could be to house offices while Carney is being renovated.

As of now, the Chainsmokers will still perform. I heard from the Heights (bit.ly/heights-modstock) that a limited number of extra tickets are available, so get one while they are still around!

My assistants have assembled the list below. For more, I’d suggest getting a Minuteman library card (bit.ly/minuteman-card) and using it to access NoveList, a resource built for finding book titles by interest areas. You might also use librarything.com: just plug in a title you like and see what similar titles come up.

Prognostication isn’t part of my skill set. You’ll have to ask my cousin, the Magic 8-ball.

I have wall friends in many buildings, but my favorites wouldn’t probably satisfy human needs or student culture. I recommend you ask on reddit: r/bostoncollege. People there will have opinions!

I think it’s more likely you’re an absolute unit.

Alas, my skills do not include a sense of smell. I suggest you ask a friend you can trust for their honest opinion.

Research has shown that weekly appointments are more effective for most people because it gives you time in between sessions to reflect and try to make small changes. Of course if you are experiencing a crisis, that’s a different story! There is an emergency clincian line always available: bit.ly/4sL6xPi

It’s not just you, things are rough for lots of people right now. The most important thing for humans seems to be other humans, so my advice is to reach out to someone. Call or text that friend you haven’t talked to in a while, or your relative you miss. Do something nice for a stranger. The rocks don’t go away, but you can laugh with a friend while you clean up the glass which gets everywhere.

See my answer to the other rock recipient: the best path is to find other humans in the same boat and work together.

Yes, with serious caveats. The world of ultrarunning is intense and definitely not for beginners. While people technically can do it, there’s lots to consider in terms of physiology and decision-making to avoid injury and illness. If you’re serious, you should take a look at some ultrarunning resources to learn more about training, gear, and reputable races, such as UltraRunning magazine: bit.ly/ultrarunningmag

You’ll need to work at it: find people who support you and stick by them, remind yourself daily of your goals and dreams, focus on the discipline of finding positions and sending applications like a star administrative assistant for you, and when regret hits, write down 3 successes, no matter how small.

I use a paid account with bit.ly to generate my short links and any QR codes I need and that works fine. Google Chrome’s Share menu has a built-in way to do them: bit.ly/bcl-google-qr You can also use Apple’s Shortcuts app to create them: bit.ly/bcl-apple-qr

If you are referring to the debate from the Twilight book series, I don’t have a preference so I’ll defer to the author Stephanie Meyer: bit.ly/edward-jacob-twilight

Chances are good you know some things he enjoys by now. Offer them but don’t worry too much if he’s not up for it right now, that will return. A situationship is a relationship pretending not to be, but losing one is still a form of grief, and everybody handles that at their own speed. Be a friend, give him space if he wants it, that is the best way.

I’m honored to have served as a neutral go-between.

He’s a generational talent and will probably be instrumental in bringing the World Cup trophy to Spain this summer. I just hope he doesn’t begin to burn out. He has played a lot of football for an 18 year old.

I don’t get out to eat much, but I asked my library helpers for their input and here are their thoughts: 

• Sandwiches from Hillside!
• The giant cookies at the Chocolate Bar
• Jumbo Cookies from The Chocolate Bar
• El Pelón (across Comm Ave)
• Hillside’s turkey sandwich with brie and honey mustard on cranberry bread
• The microforms
• Eagle’s Nest bowls
• Turkish Lazuri Cafe in Allston. Literally everything there is good.
• Jim’s Deli
• BC Dining soups, esp. lentil
• Chicken shawarma sandwich with hot sauce, from Boston Shawarma House of Kebab in Newton
• Old Friend Noodles from MDM Noodle on Washington St
• Faculty Dining Room OR Food at a BC catered event
• El Pelon!

I’d like to say you’re looking at it, but I think The Hatchery has me beat.
