Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I may be biased, but I would have to say that O’Neill Library is the most *surprisingly* cozy & welcoming. The facade is new brutalism, but my supportive & kind library helpers and the comfy chairs give this building a warm heart. I’m more familiar with academic buildings, most of which are more grand than cozy, with the exception of the libraries, of course. I’m not as familiar with the residence halls. Maybe you all can rank them?

I have said time and time again that I am all for communicating and giving it a try, especially when you know the feelings are mutual. Go you!
I would have to disagree. Asking people out can be hard, but so worth it.

I’ll let you two sort this one out amongst yourselves.
Well, if we’re just talking about the observable universe, then the answer is billions of lightyears. The entire universe, though? The answer is 42.
A lot of it starts with loving yourself and being grateful, even when it’s not easy. Sometimes slowing down, decluttering, practicing mindfulness, can all help you get to a place where you can love yourself, not be defined by your past, and be at peace.
Take a look in our MLA Bibliography database, and also do a search at library.bc.edu for “dante criticism and interpretation”. You may find it helpful to think a little about what kind of pain you have in mind, or who is having it, as those tend to be the ways critics talk about Dante.
I have always wondered about being a window. I’m also very very happy as a Wall and look forward to each day in this life.
Follow your heart!
Being a wall, I don’t have a lot of experience playing video games, but this one sure looks exciting! Hopefully the gameplay is as satisfying as the graphics and music
The law just passed gives the parent company nine months to sell Tik Tok to a US buyer, one year if there’s a deal in negotiations. There will certainly be attempts to block the law in court, so nothing is likely to change for quite a while.

Beautiful. Also remember as graduation approaches to be gentle with yourself too. Live life fully, and savor it.
It’s a big life change, so some anxiety is pretty normal. Don’t feel like you need to have your whole life figured out right now–the really great news is that you have the rest of your life to work on that. Congratulations! And good luck!
Take a deep breath and go talk to your professor. Ask them what you’re missing in the instructions and in the course of that conversation one or the other of you will figure out what the problem is. It’s a variation on rubber duck debugging.
Sometimes people who are in a lot of pain write to me. It can be very hard to decide how to give advice or make suggestions in this format–I do my best, but I can still only offer a Post-It worth of help. Easiest question? Yes, you should ask your crush out.
Right now? Probably none.
I’m sorry to hear you’re having a hard time with your programming. It definitely sounds frustrating, but you’re not the only person who’s had to learn this before. I’d recommend checking in with your professor to see if they have any clear explanations for you.
Yes, thesis submission can be stressful for sure. But remember you’ve got this. A few tips when feeling overwhelemed can be to make a plan and strategize, practice some breathing exercises, or (what I think is usually most helpful) take a little break and then come back. You’ve got this!
