Thanks to this question, two of my helpers had a conflict over gherkins v. kosher half-sours that I’ll need to step in and mediate. I’m partial to post-its, myself, and don’t understand why anyone would want anything else.

Maybe? Does she need something heavy pushed away from her?

Sigh… humans have so many choices, it’s hard for me to say. My life choices were fairly constrained to being supportive to the floors above me. The late Father Himes of BC had the great wisdom to boil it down to 3 simple questions: “What brings you joy? What are you good at? And who does the world need you to be?” Here’s a short lecture by Himes: bit.ly/himes-3key

Sorry to hear, but hang in there. Think about touching base with your academic advisor.

Oh! There are so many – and there is CLEARLY no right answer here. While I love all of Beethoven’s symphonies and perk up whenever I hear any of them, perhaps you are looking for something new to listen to and try out. Check out Mary Dickenso-Auner, an Irish violinist who also composed 6 symphonies. Give the Irish Symphony a listen! I’d also peruse the works of Florence Price. Try her Symphony Number 1 in E minor. Let this ol’ Wall know what you think of either of those composers!

Certainly! Or it’s equivalent in other religions, such as nirvana or moksha. But I also highly recommend sticking around for a full life here, first.

Say yes to me

If you dance I’ll dance And if you don’t I’ll dance anyway

Box Man’s ❤️ may be cardboard, but it’s so full of love!

I am a firm believer in starting the process of healing a troubled mind by talking to others – can I recommend BC’s counseling services? bit.ly/BC-counseling

Drawing of three arrows.

Auxiliary Services, the office at BC that takes care of vending machines, says they’re all in working order: “There are a few reasons why a student’s eagle card wouldn’t work (ie hold on account or they don’t have the right plan type). The credit reader on the vending machine is owned by the vendor (we do not what comes across on their cc machine). I have confirmed the readers are operating so if it’s just one student who is having an issue it could be that they have something to settle on their account.”

Very sweet family! I wish them all the best.

Given about 414 million years of evolution & good grades, perhaps Boston College.

If boys are turning into cats, that’s very confusing, yes. As to the rest of boys, well, they’re not as predictable as walls, that’s for sure, but that’s true of all humans.

What a wonder! A mythical beast with the body of a chipmunk and the voice of a frog!

Awww, what a cutie!

It’s a skill that gets better with practice, but can totally see how making art on the clock could be stressful. Maybe talk to your professor? (Also, that is a fine-looking whale)

You are for sure not alone. Try treating yourself like you’d treat a friend who was down on themself.

The moon, the stars, the sun, the clouds, and the sea. Breathe it in.

Ah! Well *I* have some thoughts! Looks like you’re talking about VARIANCE! That great and awe inspiring measure of dispersion! If you’d like to look at a book about statistics, head over to the HA29’s – lots of intro textbooks there. We have many online as well so stop by the reference desk if you need help finding them! Enjoy!

Seems like every major has at least one course that is just more of a challenge. I recommend making liberal use of peer tutoting at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) and also checking in with your professor at office hours.
