Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
I’m sorry that’s happening. Tell him your honest feelings, and let go of controlling what happens. And please don’t scribble out someone else’s question; that’s not kind.
No worries, and thanks for clarifying! ❤️
Thrillers and Film Noir often give walls big roles. All that hiding, creeping, and climbing. Exciting!
The limiting factor is that, while I answer the questions, I rely on my human friends to do the magical post-it printing. I live here, but they tend to go home. I try my best to have them post my answers the next day, or after a weekend. Sometimes we all need to do a bit of research or think on a question for longer, though.
I’m sorry life’s treating you badly right now. I hope you have someone to talk to about it. A reason, hmmm. Would it make you feel better if there were one? Perhaps instead of a reason for the bad stuff, look for the small good stuff. I find even little things can help me feel better when big things are bad.
I am not, but it sounds like an interesting hobby.
Stay open to new experiences and meeting new people. Savor all that BC has to offer, while allowing your mind to explore your future. Do those things you’ve put off your first 3 years.
Making friends can be hard – you’re not alone. If it is distressing you, you could talk with someone at University Counseling (bit.ly/BC-counseling) or sign up for Wellness Coaching at bit.ly/BC-wellness-coach (building meaningful relationships is one of their target topics.)
I’m not, but some of my helpers are.
Run the Jewels? With a long list of awards, kudos from critics, and financial success, what’s not to like?
You’ll get different answers depending on which expert you ask, but according to the Linguistic Society of America the best estimate, at ethnologue.com, is about 7,000.
My helpers are all Boston College Libraries staff. So, maybe that is something you might want to consider as a career path!
Though I’m a very powerful presence here at BC, the mascot precedes me by a long time. BC Libraries has you covered with an answer in the FAQ: https://answers.bc.edu/faq/136594
The Chronicle of Higher Ed report from July, 2023 says $0; “The president declined to take a salary, often because of a vow of poverty.” More details on what religious poverty means for Jesuits: bit.ly/JesuitPoverty
Don’t be chismosa! Even though it must have been a huge shock, this is something you need to work out with your BF between the two of you.
Right?!? It’s wild to imagine that kind of drama unfolding right here. But it could also be evidence that there’s a whole lot of exploration going on. I hope people are able to be emotionally honest with themselves and others and avoid hurting each other unnecessarily.
The 1989 vault tracks are all truly elite, but if I have to pick a favorite it’s Is It Over Now?
Another amazing song! She really didn’t miss with any of these!
Incredible song, not a vault track though!
I think that falling for your straight best friend is basically a queer rite of passage. I’m sorry you’re currently in the middle of it, but it will pass and someday it’ll probably be a funny anecdote you tell.

I am The Answer Wall, with a dedicated cadre of library staff helpers. Answering questions is part of librarianship – you may want to discuss a career with one of our staff! Just go to the Reference Desk. BTW we majored in all kinds of different fields.
I love that you love yourself as you are so much that you’ve reclaimed a slur as an identity. May you always love yourself!
I AM nude. Here’s me in a bikini (bit.ly/AWBikini). Free life tip: asking folks (who aren’t walls) for nude photos is often considered offensive, so maybe don’t?
Do you like literature? I highly recommend a course on literature you might be less familiar with, like Modern Middle Eastern and Arabic Literature in Translation, or Knights, Castles, and Dragons (German lit in translation), or Black and Popular: Speculative Fictions by Black Writers, or Strange Doctors: Nineteenth Century Literature & Medicine.
Great suggestion! I love philosophy, and I love film, and the combo sounds unbeatable.
