Ask for what you want. Let them know that it means a lot to you to have them call you, and you would like them them to do so. You could even recommend a schedule (Sundays at 7 PM for example.)

Could very well be. Making it clear to them that you value their calls and welcome them could make them feel more secure about picking up the phone.

What a good question! There are many different theories on music and sound to explore. There are many books on the theory of music that you can find upstairs in the ML3807’s that might help you answer this question.

Food. Water. Rest. Family and friends. Everything else is your choice.

He does look deep in them!

The best advice you can get is from the CFLC: bit.ly/BC-connors Call now for an appointment! In brief: plan your priorities and time over the next few weeks. Schedule the biggest items first, then fit in smaller ones. Be sure to schedule rest and meals. You can do this!

Generally no (but not for lack of trying!) We have a number of books on the subject (some highly technical and some less so) in the QC318 .E57 call numbers (O’Neill Library, Level 3, row 46.)

How can you ask such a question of a wall in a library with thousands of books of poetry!? Well, here’s a favorite poem about writing poems, by Seamus Heaney: poetryfoundation.org/poems/47555/digging

GOAT: “…But I am talking too much. It’s because I chatter that I do nothing. Or perhaps it is that I chatter because I do nothing. I’ve learned to chatter this last month, lying for days together in my den thinking… of Jack the Giant-killer. Why am I going there now? Am I capable of that? Is that serious? It is not serious at all. It’s simply a fantasy to amuse myself; a plaything! Yes, maybe it is a plaything.”

Sandwiches, salads, pasta. Hummus and pita bread and tabbouleh. Maybe throw in a frozen dinner if time is short. Best to eat healthy, but eating something is crucial during finals.

No, and I hope you don’t either. According to the CDC, “People who smoke cigarettes are 15 to 30 times more likely to get lung cancer or die from lung cancer than people who do not smoke.” And I want to see you live a long and healthy life.

That’s got to be a hard decision. I would advise getting advice from your academic advisor, and also making a pro/con list. Do you have a gut sense of which choice you would regret if you didn’t choose it?

OK, just imagine me, The Answer Wall, taking on Thriller…. (Got you giggling, didn’t I?)

Gotta love ’em all. ?????? ?????????????????????

Senior year brings on all the feels. I hope you can embrace the hope and possibilities of your future; it doesn’t have to be stuck at home 24/7. Spend part of the year building that better future by meeting up with the helpful folks at the Career Center (bit.ly/BC-career).

Hugs! Here’s a secret I learned – you are the one who gets to define what success means in your life, not your parents, not BC, not the forces of social media. What matters to you? Work at making it happen.

One estimate cited on a National Institutes of Health website, is 700 lb. (bit.ly/NIHWoodchuck)

Embrace your inner nerd.

Ask for encouragement from friends & family. Self-care: sleep, food, showers, quick walks outdoors. Did I mention encouragement? Also give yourself small rewards & take frequent short breaks: work for 30 min, break for 5. You can do this!

Right now, and always. ❤️
