Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
There are probably many colleges where you will be happy and will be able to study the subjects that interest you. Your high school guidance office should be able to give you advice and perhaps some tools for decision-making. The College Board (the folks that bring us the SAT) also have a tool you could try: bit.ly/WhatCollege4Me. I’d be thrilled if you joined me here, but only if you determine BC would be the right choice for you!
You should have one of the dreams that’s sprouting within you, that perhaps you haven’t yet noticed. But not everyone lives their dreams, and perhaps we aren’t all meant to: some people live their comfort or their pastimes, and that’s fine. Others – unfortunately most in the world – don’t really get a chance to consider their dreams; with luck, they may get to create opportunities for others, such as their children, to dream. That you’re wondering suggests you’ve got an opportunity: may you do with it something that brings you and others joy, peace, and security, or even justice.
My library associates tend to make decisions about when to be open based on when there are people here. If the main floor looked like it does during exam week at all hours during the summer we’d be open all the time. But it doesn’t. We’re glad you’re here, though.
Because eπi = cos(π) + isin(π) = -1 + i(0) = -1
Yes. Probably. Apparently if you have less than 6 molecules of water, it doesn’t behave like water. At 6 or more. the volume of water begins to take on a 3D structure and exhibit the properties that we think of when we think of water and wetness (see bit.ly/WaterDipole). Whether water can be wet is more of a definitional argument that has no answer. If you believe this dictionary definition of Wetness (http://bit.ly/WetnessDef), then water does in fact consist of liquid and is therefore wet. If you don’t believe it, then that’s fine, you just have to justify your answer. This is a case of language breaking down when it comes to actually describing our world and sensations.
Determination of stalking is not for the beholder but for the beheld. However, regardless of whether you or the other would consider your behavior “stalking”, you expressed that you want to stop. If you are having trouble doing that, talking to a therapist is the best option. And don’t worry if the stalkee is a therapist; those people should have procedures to handle stalkers and can refer you to another therapist if necessary.
Fruit in the library? Sure, have at it. Computers in the library? Sorry, they must stay here.
![However I can say that Fr. leahy sj is a guy that no cares about BC, nor he does care about helping others ? [redacted text]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/aw061919-1-r.jpg)
I understand why you might feel this way, but remember that people show care and affection in different ways. While Fr. Leahy may not display his care for BC and others in the way you want, his years of service and his work to grow BC in terms of reputation, endowment and improved infrastructure are evidence that he does care. Also, regarding the blacked out text, please see my policy (above) regarding posts: “Derogatory or potentially hurtful language … will be removed.”
If it’s worth it to both of you, you can make it work. It’s not easy, but communicate as much as possible (chat, phone, skype, write sweet long love letters in longhand) and save up for visits as often as possible. It helps to know if there’s an end to the separation in sight.
Participants in the Boston Pride Parade are volunteers, and groups need to sign up to march. It sounds like someone at BC needs to take the initiative to form the group and register with Boston Pride. Maybe you’re that person! You might also be interested in our Pride book display going on now in the lobby.

I’m sorry you’re down. If it’s just an ordinary sad feeling, I’d recommend staying busy, making sure to interact with people, and getting lots of fresh air in this finally lovely weather. But if you are feeling overwhelmed by the sadness, or it doesn’t go away, please consider contacting Counseling Services (bit.ly/BC-counseling), They can help!
Comfortably numb. But seriously, it’s not about me; it’s distant family member. I’d rather work toward uniting people than isolating them.

Balfour makes championship rings for most collegiate sports and seem to have a much tighter grasp on the college market as a whole than Jostens does. FWIW, Balfour is a local company (headquartered in Attleboro), and you’re supporting MA business by getting a class ring from them.
Doubtful. Where would he hide it? Some of my assistants have a good view of the back of St. Mary’s and the garage roof behind it. There is no Maserati there. Nor have they seen the secret door on the back of St. Mary’s open in years.
Thanks for the visit! Bye, best of luck with everything, and hope to see you again soon & hear about your adventures!
Hopefully they’re looking at our online blog for the reply! You can check it out too at library.bc.edu/answerwall
Great minds think alike! Yes, they can see the answer on the blog: library.bc.edu/answerwall. And you’re right, a goodbye message doesn’t always need a reply, but when the goodbye is public, a reply is nice. The sender might not see it, but others will, and there’s never harm in spreading good will.
You mean human dude? Hmmm… I’m usually thinking more about other walls whose looks I admire from afar. Handsome dude, handsome dude… Well, there’s a guy by the name of Ignatius who hangs out on the other side of Devlin Hall, he cuts a fine figure, don’t you think? He seems popular. I certainly see a lot of people lounging near him on warm days.
Enough to give credit to everyone who helped you achieve something, even yourself.
It is a lot quieter in summer, but there are still things going on. Check out bit.ly/BCEventCal, look for flyers in the O’Neill Atrium, maybe visit the McMullen Museum? It’s also a great time to get off campus and take in all that Boston has to offer.
