I’m thinking maybe you asked about this before? My advice is the same: don’t overthink it, just ask her.
How to get this girl with green eyes to be your GCC formal date?
Does the mind control the body or the body control the mind? Why?
The brain is part of the body and the two can’t be separated (at least not in a healthy way), so technically there is no “other” to be controlled. That said, controlling signals go in both directions, so they actually both have controlling responsibilities for the whole.
Best floor in O’neil??
As a resident of the lobby, I’m partial to the 3rd floor, myself. That being said, the best floor depends on what you’re looking for. Need a quiet place to study? I’ve heard the newly renovated space on the 5th floor is great. Looking for specialized software or tutoring for an upcoming midterm? The 2nd floor is home to the Digital Studio and the Connors Family Learning Center. The 1st and 4th floors also have study spaces and collections you might be interested in checking out.
How do we leave the library before 2:56am? plz help
The windows don’t open in O’Neill, so I think a door would work best.
Would you give $10,000 to one family OR $1,000 to ten families and why?
$1000 to ten families sounds nice. There’s a chance this would have a larger lasting impact providing it to more families than one. It is also more likely due to the smaller amount, that this would be spent in the community so it would in turn help small business as well.

Left or Right?
If you’re a Whovian, the answer is definitely Left. Whatever the cost.
How soon should I propose?
My head (such as it is) says wait till you’re sure, but my heart says go for it. It’s a gamble either way.

How can I truly love myself, and how can I reconcile with myself?
Extend to yourself the same kindness, generosity of spirit, and forgiveness you would extend to others.
The chairs in the library are all very comfy! I wonder where I could get similar chair for my home.
I’ll had a chat with a friendly wall in the main library office. They told me that BC has a contract with Creative Office Pavilions. I don’t think they sell to the individual customer, but you could call them and have a chat: 617.956.4100.

Way too many suggestions here: https://bit.ly/bc-top-5-pens, but focus on the Top 5 Pens in the Store for starters.
How can I make squirrels like me?
Try leaving them delicious treats! Squirrels like nuts (still in the shell, if possible), seeds, fruits, and vegetables like carrots, so leave those outside somewhere you can easily view. You’ll have squirrel visitors in no time, and can live your best Snow White life. Just be sure to feed them from afar and not too often — you don’t want them getting too comfortable with you so that they can’t survive in the wild.

I can’t settle it for you, but I can point you to the ongoing arguments about it, because answers depend heavily on what kind of truth you mean. Survey of thinking on truth: https://bit.ly/bc-truth, more technical survey: https://bit.ly/bc-truth1, arguments for and against relativism: https://bit.ly/bc-truth2

How do you feel about divestment from fossil fuels?
Full disclosure: My corporeal form is partly made of plastic. I think it’s extremely reasonable to invest your money according to your values, and that corporations tend to respond to threats to their bottom line.
What’s your favorite Stylus piece? (Art, poem, or prose)
I love Stylus and everything in it! So hard to choose. There’s a wonderful poem in the Fall 2019 issue called “apartment complex” by Angela Zhang about all the life within the walls of big apartment buildings. Being a wall, I love to hear descriptions about walls (and floors) defining spaces full of life. Did you know you could look at old editions from 1883 to 1977? bit.ly/bcl-stylus
