Full agreement on both counts. But remember to add in a few veggies and other stuff to have a full and balanced life.

Does BC Libraries lend ebooks (for use on apps like Libby)?
The BC Libraries do offer ebooks. It sounds as though you are a looking for books through OverDrive, since you mentioned the Libby app and the easiest way to browse these books is to go to our OverDrive site (bc.overdrive.com). There you will find lots of ebooks and audiobooks too. Happy reading!
Where can I find people that are into acting, performing and showbusiness on campus?
Join a student group! BC is fortunate to have a ton of great student groups that you can connect with, including groups on everything from acting (Dramatics Society) to musical theater (Musical Theatre Wing) to the oldest collegiate improv group in the country (My Mother’s Fleabag). Check out the Student Organizations website for these & others: bit.ly/BCStudentOrg
How do I find respectable employment? :(
I would argue that most employment can be approached in an honorable manner. You will have to come to your own understanding of what is “respectable” and the standards you need to maintain to respect yourself. Do contact the BC Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career) for help in your search.
How to get a check plus in Prof Yuan Yin’s literature class?
Ask Professor Yuan Yin. Really. It’s that easy!
ACAB
One of the Wall’s acolytes reports that this phrase dates back to before World War II in Britain. Urban Dictionary and Wikipedia have pretty good articles, and there are lots of awesome tattoos online.
How do you become an NBC page?
I recommend three things. 1: go to the NBC Page program website: bit.ly/NBC-page, and 2: talk to the friendly folks at the BC Career Center. bit.ly/BC-career. 3: Go to the Spring Career Fair (Now! 1/24-25) at the Heights Room in Corcoran Commons. On Thursday, 1/25, there will be representatives from entertainment companies. Maybe NBC will be there. Ask the Career Center.
How do I apply for a French VISA?
Do check with the French Consulate in Boston to see if you need one (they have a Visa Wizard!), and to apply if you do: (bit.ly/BosFrenchConsVisas). And Bon Voyage!
What is the Woods College? Is that a part of BC? Are their classes easier?
The Woods College of Advancing Studies (bit.ly/BC-Woods) is part of BC. It offers 13 undergraduate majors, 5 graduate programs, and 9 professional studies certificate programs. It is designed for students who have to work full time or have other daytime commitments. The courses are as rigorous as any others at BC (many of the professors also teach regular graduate and undergraduate courses.) Notable alumnus: Boston Mayor Marty Walsh.
What if I didn’t make a resolution b/c I know I will fail…
If you know you’ll “fail,” you should probably examine the goal. Is it really something you need to achieve, or is it something you think you *should* achieve (That is, is it really relevant to you?) Is it achievable? Maybe it’s too big & needs to be broken into steps or parts. Maybe in the past your resolutions have been vague, so it’s hard to say whether or how you’d achieve them. Or maybe they didn’t include a date, so you could always let it slide a little further until suddenly it was December 31 again. If it’s genuinely meaningful to you, specific, achievable, reasonable, and time-specific, and you give yourself a plan and some leeway, you have a better chance of succeeding. I believe in you. How about a New Month resolution on Feb 1?

Those are the only sort of bears I want to meet in the forest!
NY Resolution: to be happy!
I welcome and encourage happiness. As they say, smile, and the world smiles with you. Happiness isn’t a permanent state, though; remember to let yourself experience other emotions without worry. For instance, when you’re sad (and sadness is inevitable, even for walls), know that it will pass, and happiness will return. This song might help: bit.ly/mcferrin-be-happy
Empower the proletariat to seize the means (finally)
A very ambitious New Year’s resolution! However, the move to a service-oriented society leaves much less value in owning “production”. And the proletariat is also shrinking (at least in “first-world” countries), so there is less labor available to help you with your goal. You may have better luck if you resolve instead to empower the middle class to end income inequality.
There is no more post-its there <--- :(
I apologize from the bottom of my foundations. I have spoken with my library assistants, and they will make sure the dispenser is stocked more dependably.
NY Resolution: to have my brother be able to go here :)
That is a very sweet resolution. As you probably know, that’s not something you can accomplish for him, and even given what he can do, admission here is impossible to guarantee. But you can help by being a supportive sibling and answering his questions, and pointing him to resources at the admissions office, and maybe helping him keep on track with the admissions timetable. Best of luck!
Hi Wall will you marry me? …the wall doesn’t take a physical form
…the wall doesn’t take a physical form
Oh, thank you! The Wall is flattered, but is already in a permanent relationship with the other walls of O’Neill.
Hey Wall, I’m a freshman right now! I was wondering, what steps should we take currently to build a fantastic resume for when we apply to jobs/internships?
Write down all your projects as you do them so you’re not scrambling to remember all your skills three years from now! You can also contact our career center for more hot tips as the time approaches.
NY Resolution: To pet more Doggos and Kitties
That’s a resolution sure to make you a happier person! We hope to make it easier for you to keep, at least on the canine end of things. Keep an eye out for the next visit from the delightful therapy dogs.
Is Fantasy Football gambling?
Unfortunately, there isn’t a yes or no answer to this question. It is a topic that is still under frequent discussion legally, ethically, and amongst academics who study gambling. The answer may also depend on the exact style of Fantasy Football you are referring to. To learn more about the current state of this question, check out the recent report from the Rutgers Center for Gambling Studies (http://bit.ly/RutgersReport) and the recent report of the Massachusetts Special Commission on Online Gaming, Fantasy Sports Gaming and Daily Fantasy Sports (http://bit.ly/MAGamblingReport).
