If you are interested in it from an academic perspective, we have the books! Many are in the BD 436 call numbers up on Level 5, around row 35. But from a personal perspective – I feel that when you feel it, you know it! ❤️

Hope it went well! It is not a gut class, for sure. If you are struggling, peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors) can be a great help.

Is it possible to fully move on?

Is it possible to fully move on or get over someone?
Is it possible to fully move on or get over someone?

Honestly this depends alot upon the situation and how you are refering to terms such as “Move on” and “Get over”. Although I think that it is possible, and sometimes even necessary depending on the circumstances, to put a relationship and the other person or persons behind you, I don’t think it is possible to ever completely go back to normal after most events or relationships. I think your best approach would be to learn from and use this knowledge to determine future actions/decisions.

Why are we here?

Because as far as we know, nowhere else in the universe could support the miraculous variety of life that’s here on Earth.

Because of evolution ➡️ It all goes back to Bio. OR Because we're all hard-working BEASTS who got into the school of our dreams

Those are also great answers! Or because you’re all the kind of people who want to light up the world.

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.

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

Best symphonies to listen to?

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.

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.”
