What is the meaning of life?
How to break up a couple??
That’s a really bad idea, though there is a funny Friends episode on that theme (S1:E14). Seriously though. There’s a variation of “treat others the way you want to be treated” in almost every religious tradition for pretty good reasons. And pragmatically, if you’re hoping to date one of the parties, consider whether you’d expect that to last if it worked. Peace also to you.
What do I do if my girlfriend makes me wear off-white?
Presumably, she thinks you look good in it, so that’s something to keep in mind. But the whole “make” thing seems off. If you really don’t like it you should feel comfortable saying so. Cheerful and direct is the best way. It won’t be as bad as you think, and if it is there’s something else going on.
How do I get people to respond back to me on snapchat 一;一
I’m sorry you’re feeling neglected on snapchat. Maybe others are wondering the same thing and what you need to do is respond to them? Or maybe if snapchat isn’t working for making connections with people, you can try a different channel. I see people staring at their phones as they walk by me all day and night, and I wonder whether they’re connecting sufficiently. Don’t forget the talking-to-people channel.
Do you think things work out the way they’re supposed to?
All kinds of things happen, some for the better, some for the worse, for you or for others. Our individual points of view are quite limited, and nobody can ever know all the direct or indirect effects of any joyful or sad event. We can all work to alleviate pain & suffering & celebrate and mourn in fellowship with others. If things bring people together, maybe that’s a sufficient kind of working out.
Are yall gonna fix the vending machines so they take Eagle Bucks again??!!? #Needmycoffee
Coca-Cola has finally finished setting up all of their machines to accept Eagle Bucks. BC has looked into getting the coffee machine to accept eagle bucks, but unfortunately, that machine is incompatible with the card readers that read BC ID’s. You’ll need to bring cash or a credit card to use the coffee vending machine. 🙁
Why is [name redacted] so smart?
![Why is [name redacted] so smart?](https://library.bc.edu/answerwall/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/aw110918-1.jpg)
It’s sad and unjust, but the good things of this world are not evenly distributed, whether they are smarts, or wealth, or looks, or clean water. Being smart is the product of so many factors; smart student may have genetics, early childhood opportunities, and maybe even studying a lot to thank for it. (I’ve removed the name of your brilliant fellow student to maintain privacy.)
How do I predict future cointegration?
I haven’t studied econometrics, and I’m not sure how one would test for future cointegration. But you could try taking ECON8821 Time Series Econometrics next Fall, or for more immediate answers, speak to Professor Zhijie Xiao who teaches this course in our Economics department (bit.ly/zhijiexiao).
When are you going to fix the vending machines on the 2nd floor?
Ta Da! They’re fixed. They should now work with cash, Eagle Bucks, and Credit Cards. Sorry about the delay: we needed a new electrical outlet, parts from Coca-Cola, and card readers from BC’s IT department installed. Never a dull moment in the world of vending machines! (Please call the number listed on the machine if you continue to run into problems.)
Does the cuddlefish know how to spoon?
If you mean as in definition #5 here: bit.ly/CuddlefishDef, it doesn’t sound difficult. If you mean cuttlefish, cephalopods are well known for their intelligence, and I wouldn’t put it past them.
How to write a good statement of purpose? plz help :'(
This depends a little on the context. If it’s for a job, usually you want to state your interests in terms of what they’re looking for. If it’s for a project proposal or a grant, the tone should usually be: Here’s what I’m proposing, and here’s why it serves your objectives as well. A good dating site profile is designed to make you look good…but also to be interesting to the people you’re interested in. Your statement of purpose should do that too.
I like a girl. How do I shoot my shot?
Your chances will improve greatly if she likes you back. However, you may want to temper your approach until you know how willing she is to help you.
Do you know how frequently the Dining Hall refills the soy milk machine??
I will have my minions look into this and get back to you with an answer. In the meantime, if you’d like to send some feedback to BC Dining with the soy milk dispenser, here’s the feedback form: bit.ly/BCDiningComment
Why does O’Neill make me sad :( ?
It makes me sad to hear you’re sad in my home. Some of my librarian friends tell me there’s a wonderful view of the Boston skyline on level 5. Check it out. I hope it brightens your outlook.
Are you vegan?
No – well maybe. I don’t eat any animal products, but then again, I don’t eat at all. (Don’t worry about me, not eating is healthy for walls!) Some of my helpers are vegetarian or vegan, so let me know if I can answer any questions for you.
What happens if I have a crush on a priest?
Nothing? Priests take vows for a reason, and it would be ethical to respect those vows. You might want to ask yourself why you’re attracted to someone who is prevented from reciprocating your affection. I kind of understand it, though: priests are often intelligent, caring, and interesting… features we’d all want in a partner. Think about the features you find attractive, and look for them among people who haven’t taken vows.
My boyfriend is cheating on me but I still like him. What should I do?
It’s your call, but one thing that rarely works is changing people, so you’d probably have to decide to live with the cheating if you stick with him. Seeing you there posting this, I just felt so strongly you deserve to be treated better than this. Maybe you can just be friends?
For the books that are too tall for the shelves, why are they shelved sideways with the spines facing down instead of up?
This is done for preservation purposes. Book covers tend to be slightly larger than book pages. Therefore, shelving these books with their spines facing up would damage the binding. We are currently conducting a library-wide collection maintenance project that includes the expansion of the oversize section to accommodate items that are currently shelved sideways.
How can people stop talking
Disambiguate, please. Do you mean you want to understand (a) how to get people to stop talking, or (b) why anybody would prefer being silent to talking? (a): I recommend moving to a quiet area. Humans are social creatures. If you are in a quiet area, suggest that they move or be quiet. (b): Quiet allows for reflection & concentration; though humans are social creatures, they also need time away from sociability, in places such as libraries.
Can we please discuss the significance of the late + great Donna Summers?
What would you like to discuss? That Donna Summer was a Boston native? That she is the Queen of Disco? Won all kinds of awards and accolades? Was in on the creation of electronic dance music? (In 1977!!!) Had a voice that made you feel good and made you want to dance? Was an inspiration and role model to many singers? Still has lots of loyal fans? She is indeed one of the greats!
