Hi, Everett! I don’t eat, so I don’t stock them, but it seems like this campus is a pretty great place to forage. Happy hunting!

IDK, I think I’d rather have a sweet dream and wake up and tell someone about it. I’m concerned that you’d prefer not to wake up. The waking world can sometimes be awful (bad things happen even to good people) but it can also be joyful. I hope you can stick with it through the hard times so you can get to the good times. If that’s difficult, please talk to someone about it: a friend, a family member, or a counselor at University Counseling: http://bit.ly/BC-counseling.
YouTube is great and you can learn all kinds of things there, but not all people learn well that way, and not all subjects can be taught that way. You’re paying for the prestige of a top-ranked college and the networking opportunities that offers. You’re paying for the location. And most importantly, you’re paying for the professional expertise of the faculty, librarians, and staff who make the college run.
Beautiful! Thank you for introducing me to a lovely poem and a poet I was unfamiliar with. I look forward to reading more of Nizar Qabbani’s work. We have several books in our collection in O’Neill at call number PJ7858.A2.
Though Thanksgiving is primarily a family holiday (and for some, “Friendsgiving”), many restaurants do feature special Thanksgiving dinners. If you can’t score an invitation with friends or a family of a friend, here’s a list of Boston area restaurants hosting Thanksgiving dinners: bit.ly/boston-restaurants-thanksgiving2021
I’m well, thank you! I love where I live, but I’ll also quote Louis Pasteur: “Science knows no country, because knowledge belongs to humanity, and is the torch which illuminates the world. Science is the highest personification of the nation because that nation will remain the first which carries the furthest the works of thought and intelligence.”
Thank you! Any day with more questions to ponder is a wonderful day. I hope the same for you.
