Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
Starting in October you’re going to want to begin collecting sticks and other nesting material. Gifts of food are welcome. You’ll probably want to practice your vocalization, and it may be a good idea to stretch out your lower back. https://bit.ly/3EfcIoe
Be your authentic self. I am sure you will attract someone who is equally authentic.
I am sooo sorry to hear that. I am sure that you have plenty of qualities to be proud of and I hope you will eventually be able to recognize that. If you are looking to be in a relationship at this time maybe finding the right person could help you discover and be pround of these positive qualities 🙂
My Library helpers and their colleagues have some recommendations for your senior year bucket list:
Have fun working through the list!
While the Answer Wall may know many things, this is not something the Answer Wall knows how to do. To further your quest, I would recommend contacting Nicholas Cage for advice. Before doing this however, I would warn you that stealing a historical document of this magnitude is a serious crime and can result in heavy fines and/or imprisonment.
I am enchanted by the 4-Color Theorem. It means I can safely make maps even when my Crayola box is down to 4…
Ingesting them or generating them? The verdict is still out on the level of risk to human health. Not creating more of them would be a good goal. Key sources are synthetic textiles, car tires, and city dust according to a study by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (bit.ly/IUCNPlasticSources)

There’s not enough hard data to give it an exact number, so I’d say “fairly science.” More info from the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) (bit.ly/PINZ). And to really get into the evidence-based research try searching the Cochrane Library (bit.ly/CochraneBC).
I spend all my time in a library with millions of volumes of the accumulated knowledge of the world. I also have helpers throughout the BC Libraries (and beyond) who do research for me and multilingual helpers who translate questions for me.
My helpers say it involves a Word document with some Post-It-sized text blocks and some fiddling with a fussy printer. The font is Courier, because we wanted typewriter vibes.
France is a special place for me, because it is home to Le mur des je t’aime (the Wall of Love): bit.ly/ParisWallOfLove

Gum is a terrifying substance. Think of everything that can go wrong: you could choke on it, pull a filling out of a tooth or maybe even a crown, you could get it on the bottom of your shoe (which as a Wall, I am not worried about, but I sense it is one of humanity’s big fears). And… it could lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight.
No! It’s never too late to grow! Life is (by definition!) about growth. Stay open to new ideas and experiences, and growth is inevitable.
Please don’t… vaping is prohibited anywhere on campus (bit.ly/BCVapeNo) . And it is not withut health risks.
Go Eagles, all the Eagles! Eagles are the best.
Prepare for an encounter with the French legal system.
Sigh… I wish I knew. My reckless cousin the Magic 8 Ball can answer questions like that, but the answers are a little, uh, random.
I’m a Wall, not a magician… but best of luck! I can score you admission to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum tho bit.ly/BCGardnerTix- almost as good? LMK ?
I’m going to say “a lot” because even doing a ballpark estimate would require some information I don’t have, like how many reams of paper are lying around to feed the printers. You would also have to come up with an average page count that covers encyclopedias, children’s picture books, scholarly journal issues, maps, board game instructions, newspapers, event flyers, Post-Its, etc etc. Oh, and a meaningful average of the amount of paper in my paperphobic and paperphilic helpers’ desks. According to my friend the BC Fact Book, the BC Libraries own 3.3 million print books, have 3,170 print journal subscriptions, and just under 500,000 government documents.
