How do I raise my GPA in 2 hours? Asking for a friend (help)
If the 2 hours in question are during a final exam, you may be able to make a small but measurable change by doing really, really well. However, as with most things in life, change takes time and effort. I highly recommend talking to your academic advisor, to your professors, and getting some peer tutoring – and possibly academic coaching – from the CFLC (bit.ly/BC-connors).
What is the best seafood restaurant nearby?
Alas, the only seafood restaurant close by is Legal Seafood over at the Street, which fortunately does do a good job. Other possibilities that are nearby (but may be difficult to get to without transportation) are Steamers at 311 Watertown Street in Newton, and Shaking Crab, also in Newton at 203 Adams Street. There are many good seafood restaurants if you want to hop on the T and go in town though, such as the classic Union Oyster House.
If you could be any animal, what would you be?
Probably a walrus, goo goo g’joob
Is love a paradox?
As both a source of pain (when it’s rebuffed or withheld) and pleasure (when it’s reciprocated) it certainly contains multitudes & conflicts. If it weren’t a paradox, then Pascal Bruckner’s bestseller in France, Paradoxe Amoureux, or Paradox of Love (bit.ly/BC-paradox – click Books at JSTOR for English version), might not have been a bestseller. It’s also paradoxical in that the more you give,
Should I stop cracking my neck/back?
Cracking your neck and back can bring relief to a stiff joint, but it’s important to make sure that you aren’t forcing cracks by using your hands on your head or forcing a twist in your back beyond what is comfortable. There are many delicate nerves as well as ligaments that can be damaged by forced manipulation. If you feel as though your neck and back are stiff, try some gentle stretching, yoga, or using a foam roller. If you’re not getting any relief, look for a Chiropractor! They are properly trained in freeing up your joints.
how do you know if you’re in love?
Everyone experiences love differently, and it tends to be a little different each time, so it’s hard to generalize. Do you want to be? Because even in a stereotypical romance, after the initial phase of blurry happiness, love is ultimately about choosing to be a particular way with a particular person.
It’s great that you’re not walling off any questions and are very open. I’ll deffinitely inquire you about anything I’m wondering about :)
Excellent! I’ll be here.
What do you do when you don’t want to live w/ someone anymore?
However you choose to tell them, do it soon so they can start to make other plans for the lottery. I reckon they’d rather you be awkward and prompt than late and full of grace & wit.
Why can’t we get new library printers?
The library printers are only 3 years old, but with about 10 million pages printed each year at BC, it’s no wonder that the printers are getting finicky. Library and ITS staff have already started exploring which printers and print management systems will replace what we currently have.
How do you like your potatoes?
Being a wall, my diet is composed almost entirely of post-its, though I do also enjoy the scents of food wafting through the library, and potatoes are a favorite in that department. Many of my human assistants enjoy potatoes. One has a partner who claims to have eaten potatoes prepared 52 different ways. The Potato in the Human Diet (O’Neill Library TX558.P8 W63 1987) says potatoes are grown in 132 of 167 independent countries. For the potato-obsessed, I must recommend reading Potato: a history of the propitious esculent. (O’Neill Library SB211 .P8 R43 2009).
How to balance health and academic. I am in lots of physical pain every day.
Inside Chronic Pain (bit.ly/BC-inside-chronic-pain – click on Books at JSTOR) by Lous Heshusius, provides a first-hand account of 10 years of treating her chronic pain and talks about the importance of rooting oneself in the present. Another book, Mayo Clinic on Chronic Pain (bit.ly/mayo-chronic – click on EBSCOhost eBooks) provides strategies for finding the balance you’re looking for. I hope you’re using accommodations available to you under ADA rules; contact Disability Services (disabsrv@bc.edu) if you haven’t done so already. Your day-to-day efforts are truly heroic; make sure you let folks help you.
Take father Tacellis “Does God Exist” Class! –>
Great idea! Too late for this semester, but worth exploring if you still need to take Perspectives in the future.
Why is the mens bathrooms in O’Neill so disgusting? Can BC clean more often?
You are not the first to complain about the condition of my long-suffering colleagues, the bathroom walls. Crews clean them several times a day, but that doesn’t always keep up with the heavy use. Requests to have the bathrooms refinished have been put on hold pending decisions on larger renovation plans. For now, I’ll ask you to please treat the bathrooms with the respect they deserve even if they don’t always show their appreciation.
Why do I have to tour the library
Because the library is awesome? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I fancy a boy who is a different religion to me and am scared this will affect our relationship…
There are a whole bunch of things that could make that a tricky situation. But consider: there are lots of reasons why a relationship might not work out, many of which you can’t find out about until you know someone better. If you have concerns, be open about them, but the Wall encourages you not to worry too much about things that might happen. If there is trouble later you can address it then.
I THOUGHT PENGUINS WERE 6 FEET TALL. I AM SAD THAT THEY ARE NOT
It’s always sad when those you admire fall short of your expectations. But please don’t feel sorry for the penguin- it’s size and shape are perfectly adapted to the cold climate they call home.
who’s your favorite pro-golfer? DJ or Brooks Koepka?
More a Tom Watson fan, but I’m an old timer. The ’82 US Open happened while O’Neill was under construction, and this is still an epic way to win. http://bit.ly/bc-pga
Will you date me?
![Will you date me? [response: Sure ;p]](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/aw013019-6.jpg)
1/30/2019 12:48pm (time thrown in for good measure). If you’re seeking a romantic relationship, I should say that I’m already pretty attached to O’Neill Library.
Why’s this semester so much more tiring than the last
Spring semester always seems to be rougher on humans than fall. With fall you have all the energy saved up from the summer, but spring semester starts suddenly and it tends to be cold and snowy, and that makes everything a little more physically challenging, too. Take care of yourself. Get lots of rest. Try and stay cozy and warm.
