Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I assure you, this is not a smart way to avoid an exam. Catching norovirus is distressingly easy though. As per the opposite of CDC advice (bit.ly/CDCNoNoro), eschew hand-washing, dine out at questionable eateries, and snack on unwashed fruit. But really, don’t. Go, do your best on the exam, and be well!
If your question arises from his silence following recent racist incidents, he probably believes that the appropriate people are addressing the issue. Such an approach does not reflect hate but a different way of thinking about how to respond to campus incidents. As with any communications issue, it’s always better to speak directly with the other person, so I’d suggest also asking Fr. Leahy your question.
That depends on what type of history you expect the journal to cover. Ancient Europe – maybe something greek or latin. Pre-columbian North America –

Many friendships morph or fizzle. But in our world of screens (social media/texting) this stuff can be tough. You’re probably familiar with the avoidance dance. How about the honest and direct (in person!), “I don’t like how you’ve been treating me.” Really hard. But you may learn more about that “friend” and yourself after that.
The Concord Grape. It was developed in nearby Concord, Massachusetts in the mid-19th century, and makes terrific jelly and sweet wines for religious purposes. There’s also Red Vines, but here in Boston, we’re all about the Twizzlers…. If you mean Vine (the video service), looks like that’s over and done with.
I know at least one member of the O’Neill staff who lives on the stuff, but individual taste does vary. You could send feedback to Dining Services at bit.ly/BCDiningComment. BTW… how do you know what Elmer’s glue tastes like…?
Well, they did cancel classes after 4:30 … Snow days are rare at Boston College, as administration considers this a residential campus. They do seem to have been more open to following city/state recommendations in the past few years though and have cancelled classes accordingly. Just wait for the next big one!
Hi, sorry about the delay, but your post-it got lost among the bonanza of this week’s questions. I hope everything worked out on Valentine’s Day, and everyone lived happily ever after. (Note: I’ve had my assistants remove some potentially identifying information from this question.)

My minion who has hit off of pine straw says it’s no contest. Also, Mickelson ended up on the green.
Are you sure they’re sure? They might not be so sure. That said, “fake it ’til you make it” actually does work a surprising amount of the time.
I’m sure many others do. With a Tuesday/Thursday schedule, there are a limited number of days between now and spring break on which to schedule a mid-term. Good luck!
The only beings inside me are mice. Are you a mouse? You’re welcome to work on the inside. I advise not nibbling on the conduits.
You already know me so it would not really be a blind date. Pick a book you don’t know and jump right in and get acquainted! If it doesn’t work out, you will at least have a new experience to talk to me about …
So sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing pain and the blues. To rule out an infection, think about making an appointment with a doctor at University Health Services to discuss your concerns. bit.ly/BostonCollegeHealth
No guarantees, but establishing healthy living practices will probably increase your odds. Maybe schedule a meeting with the Office of Health Promotion (bit.ly/BC-health-promo) to develop an individual health plan (iHP)?
You can find the major requirements on this page: bit.ly/bc-neuroscience. It looks challenging: a mix of psychology, biology, statistics, computer science, and a research practicum, but I’m sure you’re up to the challenge. If your question is more about interest, perhaps pick up a book such as Adolphs & Anderson, The neuroscience of emotion: a new synthesis (ebook: bit.ly/neuroscience-emotion). If you can’t put it down, you’ve picked the right major.
Humans absorb and make sense of different kinds of information at different speeds, so you might try spending way more time than you think you should need studying and see how that works–one of my assistants says that worked for him in a similar spot. You can and should also talk to my friends at the Connors Family Learning Center, who can help you get set up with a tutor. They’re one floor down from me, or you can check them out online: bit.ly/BC-connors
As a wall, I’ve never eaten anything, much less a burger. But my helpers inform me that taste is very context-dependent. One helper had been camping and hiking for 2 months straight eating only pre-packaged food before winding up at a burger joint in Washington DC. He remembers that burger was the best thing he’d ever tasted. But when he went back there a couple years later, it was very mediocre. There is no best burger – smash burgers, fancy burgers, fast food, greasy diners – all of these burgers have their place. If you’re really itching to hunt for the best one in Boston, check out this list from Eater: bit.ly/bostonBurgers
