It’s a thing. It’s a wonderful, compelling thing. And a great excuse to share my favorite video on the whole Internet: bit.ly/D6Vid
Why does my boyfriend ignore me during DND
I am 4% Neanderthal. What resources are there to help me?
Well, 4% of you is probably experiencing some culture shock. We have lots of books you could read to get up to speed on what 4% of you has missed, and to help you make sense of the different reactions to things you’re probably having. bit.ly/bc-neanderthal. Unfortunately it looks like cosmetic surgery is not covered by the student health plan, if that’s a concern.
Why can’t I graduate sooner? :)
There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
How to make a friend w/benefits your significant Other? [Response: ASK]

I agree with the response. I don’t think anyone wouldn’t be at least flattered to know you’d developed true feelings for them over the course of an otherwise rather transactional affair. You would be opening yourself up to rejection, of course, but that’s always the risk when telling someone you want a relationship. Worth it, in my opinion. Best of luck!
I don’t wanna be a Sophomore.
The only way out is through. But brainstorm about ways you can make sophomore year more appealing and meaningful. Are there some opportunities you haven’t yet had a chance to try at BC? Some new goal you can set for yourself for the year? People you want to get to know? Effect political change? I’d hate to see you going through the motions when there’s a whole awesome year ahead for you to experience and give yourself to.
I HAVE A FRIEND THAT EVERYONE LOVES AND IS VERY NICE, BUT I CAN’T STAND HER. AM I A BAD PERSON/IS IT OKAY TO NOT BE FRIENDS WITH HER?
I think it’s okay. But how about looking at it through a different prism: be respectful to her, but know that she’s just not your people.

1) Be aware it’s a class I controlled substance, so selling or possessing risks a federal felony offense, and because of illegality, 2) it’s likely to be impure and have unknown strength or dosage amount, whether in liquid form, on blotter paper, or in gel tabs, 3) It’s a psychotropic, which means it can have strange, unpredictable effects on the mind & emotions, so you’d need someone around who’s experienced it and knows how to shepherd you through your experience, and 4) effects can last as long as 8 hours, so you’d need a big block of time set aside in a safe space. As a rather sedate Wall, I recommend extreme caution. As to the response: I don’t see how it’s related to the OP, though I understand your frustration & wish you the best of luck.
How do I stop pooping orange?
If your diet mostly consists of Cheetos and orange Fanta (not judging) you might consider rebalancing things. If it continues it’s not a bad idea to stop by health services.
How do you suggest going about choking a floppy?
I an not familiar with this practice. However, I would strongly advise against any activity that requires choking.
I fell for a bearded footballer but now he’s shaved we’ve lost the spark! + now I’m scared I’ll never see him again
If you’re scared you’ll never see him again, it sounds like you haven’t lost the spark. He’s the same person, facial hair or no. If you made the mistake of rejecting him for beardlessness & now regret it, ask for forgiveness. If no regrets, move on.
Remember when Tip O’Neill was in Cheers?
YES, I know of it. It’s a little before my time (I was built in 1987) but some of my library helpers recall that episode fondly. For those who are curious: bit.ly/tip-cheers.
What is the strangest compliment you can pay someone?
Backhanded compliments leave people wondering if they heard a compliment or an insult. Statements like “you’re smarter than you look” or “you’re not so bad once people get to know you” are certainly confusing and strange compliments.
Would you like to praise my Chinese handwriting if I put a post-it note in Chinese on the Answer Wall?
Yes, I am happy to comment on your handwriting. It gives an impression of spontaneity and wholeheartedness, as close to calligraphy as one can get with a pencil on a 3×3 piece of paper and yet still be legible.
I have feelings for someone who wants to join the priesthood…
Love him in whatever way he wants to be loved. That’s true for anyone–you can’t force someone to love you if they want something or someone else more.
Why can’t I graduate sooner?
Can we have therapy cats?
This is a common request, but word from On High is that we’re sticking with dogs for now.
I didn’t get a cookie :(
I’m sorry the cookies went so fast. One of the great things about being an adult (… and not being a wall) is you can generally get yourself a cookie if you really want one, so if you’re feeling cookie-deprivation, why not go visit my friend the vending machine on Level One and treat yourself?
How do y’all type on the stickies?
It’s my best talent! We have a Word Template we use to print onto Post-Its that are stuck on a sheet of paper.
Do twins have telepathy?
Identical twins often seem to know what the other is thinking, but this is more likely due to a deep, shared history with the other. You could try testing for telepathy by asking one twin a question then seeing if the other twin answers correctly. A correct answer might not prove the existence of telepathy, but it would definitely be a cool trick.
How can I advocate for the return of original M&Ms to campus vending machines?
I’d send plea to the vending company (service@abvendingco.com). Perhaps they can alleviate your plight.
