I’ve actually lost my marbles wall! I’ve lost my FREAKING MARBLES [frowny face]
I haven’t seen them. If you lost them in O’Neill, check the user services desk; they have a lost & found. No, but seriously, I’m sorry you lost your marbles.I hope you have some methods for regaining calm. If not, may I recommend a wellness coach? bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach
I don’t know, but if most of us turn to kind words and trust more often than mistrust and recriminations, we’ll pull through together rather than apart.
How do I avoid staying up into the wee hours of the night doing work?
Developing better habits is not easy, but you can do this! You can sign up for career coaching with the Connors Family Leanring Center (CFLC) to learn ways to manage your time and studying in a way that will let you SLEEP! bit.ly/BC-connors
Cassowaries usually end up on top of dangerous bird lists because they’re huge (150 pounds!) and fast. https://bit.ly/3MCeCE4 In North America I wouldn’t want to tangle with any kind of raptor (eagles included), but owls are most of the top ten. https://bit.ly/47tmmAb
I’m so DEpressed. Everyone around me is depressed too. What should I do?
It is really hard and I know many of my human friends struggle with feeling depressed. You are not alone. You could talk with someone at University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling), like another student recommended, or sign up for Wellness Coaching at bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach (building meaningful relationships is one of their target topics.)
Not the Wall, but I’ve been where you are. Many have had bad experiences with UCS, but it’s affected me in a profoundly positive way. Additionally, smile at people. Sometimes, they smile back, and that’s a big reason I’ve kept moving forward. There is love.
Makes my little wall heart glad when you students are so supportive of each other. There is love, for sure.
(Scratched out “Good business stats electives profs” ) I’m afraid he’s going to go back to his ex, what do I do? I really like/care about him HELP (help)
I’m sorry that’s happening. Tell him your honest feelings, and let go of controlling what happens. And please don’t scribble out someone else’s question; that’s not kind.
Hi Wall…I didn’t scribble out someone else’s question..it was my own! I wanted to ask something else. ❤️ Sorry for confusion + thanks for your help. XO
I’m sorry life’s treating you badly right now. I hope you have someone to talk to about it. A reason, hmmm. Would it make you feel better if there were one? Perhaps instead of a reason for the bad stuff, look for the small good stuff. I find even little things can help me feel better when big things are bad.
Who are you? I wanna do your job too!!! How can I apply?? TELL ME NOW!!
I am The Answer Wall, with a dedicated cadre of library staff helpers. Answering questions is part of librarianship – you may want to discuss a career with one of our staff! Just go to the Reference Desk. BTW we majored in all kinds of different fields.
I AM nude. Here’s me in a bikini (bit.ly/AWBikini). Free life tip: asking folks (who aren’t walls) for nude photos is often considered offensive, so maybe don’t?
Any fun classes for seniors? I love humanities btw ❤️
Do you like literature? I highly recommend a course on literature you might be less familiar with, like Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic Literature in Translation, or Knights, Castles, and Dragons (German lit in translation), or Black and Popular: Speculative Fictions by Black Writers, or Strange Doctors: Nineteenth Century Literature & Medicine.
If you’re into philosophy, they’re offering 2 classes this spring on the philosophy of film!
Great suggestion! I love philosophy, and I love film, and the combo sounds unbeatable.
I don’t know, but I’m certain that talking to someone about it might help you understand causes and more importantly help you feel better. I recommend contacting BC Counseling: bit.ly/BC-counseling
