He’s had some remarkable throws lately, but only time will tell: can he keep this up, or was it a lucky streak?

Howdy! 🤠

It’s hard these days, with everyone looking down at handheld screens, to strike up a conversation. Any place with people in it who share your interests is a good place to start. At BC I recommend joining a club. You can find a list of clubs here: bc.edu/osi. Or get a job at BC Dining, where you’ll automatically have something in common: a tough job: bit.ly/BC-student-jobs

Hey! Congratulations! Impostor Syndrome is real, but here’s the thing: the people who know what’s good picked you to be in it already. There is always room to improve, but try not to compare yourself to anyone but you, because I will bet half the people on the production secretly feel the way you do too. Break a leg!

I enjoy listening to the whispers of the grass after 2am when the library is otherwise silent. I don’t speak grass language, but it always sounds peaceful and relaxing. I think Walt Whitman was fluent in grass: “I loafe and invite my soul,/ I lean and loafe at my ease . . . . observing a spear of summer grass.” You can read more! It’s right over there behind you, in the display: Leaves of Grass, bookmarked just for you.

This is the definition of high-risk high-reward. If you do, you will learn one of two things. One kinda sucks in the moment but is not very different from where you are now. The other is wonderful. And from talking to my human helpers, you’re more likely to regret not knowing that answer later. Your call. Best wishes to everyone involved!

Exactly, just like in the Manga, Suki-tte ii na yo.

Spanglish! I’ve always been impressed by people who have the verbal juggling skill of combining languages or code-switching.

I believe odor depends on what you eat. More fiberous foods like broccoli take longer to digest so they start to “ferment” in your system. Resulting, sometimes, in odor. Drinking water can help food move through your digestive system faster, resulting in less fermentation.

I’m not sure I understand the question… when I think of ports I think of a maritime facility with docks for loading and unloading cargo.

I’d guess that “yes” is the answer. Obviously not speaking for anyone, but there are a LOT of priests on campus. Try reaching out to Campus Ministry for suggestions. (and best wishes for a speedy recovery to all on the IR)

The choice of a name is a deeply personal one! People change their names, or don’t change their names, due to numerous factors like identity, simplicity, heritage, and professional interests. While I haven’t chosen to change my name, I know other spots on campus that have (like Hayden Hall). Overall, you’re the only one who can decide if you want to change your name and how the choice aligns with your identity and values!

There’s a story about some medieval philosophers arguing about how to define what a human is. One of the definitions someone offered was “a human is a featherless biped”. Later that night someone tossed a plucked chicken into the yard of the monastery.

The one that works for you. My friends at the Connors Family Learning Center can help you find out: http://bit.ly/BC-connors. My Wall advice would be that memorizing a set of facts and understanding how they work are different things. Lots of people spend way more time on the first part than the second, and the second is the whole point. See if you can get to the point you can explain it to your roommate in normal language. If you can do that you’re usually good for tests and papers.

Yes indeed!

Chances are she doesn’t and you’re overreacting…but have you asked what she’s upset about?

The one that supports all of its members and creates and sponsors activities you want to participate in. IOW support is cool and so is people doing what gives them joy & purpose.

I can understand your low morale, but I have faith in you! I think staying in school will help unemployment in the long term.

No restaurants in Brookline serve my favorite dish (post-its garnished with questions), so I’ve crowdsourced the answer among my library friends:

• Bar Vlaha my #1
• Omori Izakaya
• Blossom Bar
• Zaftigs
• The Abbey (2 votes!)
• Prairie Fire (2 votes!)
• Gyu-kaku- skip the AYCE, get the Harami skirt steak in secret pot
• Esmai’s
• If you’re willing to walk 300ft outside of Brookline, Futago Udon!
• Washington Square Tavern, for the vibes
• Ganko Ittetsu (ramen)

According to the authors of the History of Boston College it was partly designed that way so as not to take attention away from Gasson, the “architectural centerpiece of campus.” (1) But I suspect it’s also a side-effect of choosing The Architects Collaborative and students of Walter Gropius to design it. The Back Bay Center and the JFK Federal building were also projects of theirs, and you can see the stylistic similarities. (2) 1) bit.ly/grove-tac 2) bit.ly/bc-oneill-design

The basketball GOAT debate has no clear answer because LeBron and Jordan played in different eras with different levels of athleticism and quality of play. That being said, if the criteria is just down to titles won and cultural impact, Jordan is slightly ahead.
