Selfishly, I hope you stay. But if that is no longer a viable or good course of action for you, I strongly recommend you talk to your academic advisor as soon as possible to discuss your options. Whatever you choose, wishing you a bright future!

I am safe, I am healthy (as healthy as a wall can be), and I am surrounded by a community that writes to me. I am so grateful to exist and be in conversation with all of you. Thank you for asking <3.

Humans – can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em! I chatted with a friendly wall in ResLife, and they said you can reach out to Off Campus Housing (offcampus@bc.edu) and let them know the situation. They can advise you and/or mediate. Wishing you both peace!

The wall sides with a Pop-Tart is a pastry, and not a ravioli crowd. The Pop-Tart is lacking in either meat, ricotta, or spinach (or similar veggie). Case closed.

Yes, it sure is!

A clone is a time-delayed identical twin, not a photocopy. See discussion by this presidential commission. https://bit.ly/bc-clone

You are not alone – I am seeing much a lot of stressed out students! But there are ways to cope with stress and make it less.. stressful. The Center for Student Wellness (bit.ly/BC-health-promo) can help you with online resources and even individual peer wellness coaching sessions.

Well, I don’t really play video games because I’m a wall and don’t have hands. From reading this article (bit.ly/skyrim-sides) however, it doesn’t sound like the values of either of these groups line up with Boston College’s values of inclusion. This is because the Stormcloaks supposedly aren’t tollerant of anyone who isn’t a Nord and the Imperials don’t want to allow the Stormcloaks to practice their religion freely. Other than that, there doesn’t seem to be any benefit of one group over the other game wise. Happy gaming!

Thanks for letting me know. I hope folks were able to be in community and get the support they need.

Failing an exam is painful and it is something almost all of us go through at some point. I recommend moving on and working towards improving. Do talk to your professor at their office hours (that’s what they’re for) and go for peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center (bit.ly/BC-connors). I have faith in you.

It depends on the behavior and what kind of relationship you want to have with the person. But better to say something early than pretend you’re OK with something you’re not. It might be no big deal, or it might be, but you’ll only find out by saying something.

I can’t really make a full statement of this because I’m a Wall and can’t play video games like you, but to me it sounds like Magnus is a complicated character.

Sadly, quite segregated. In 2019, Boston was 18th (of 113) of the most segregated cities >200,000 pop., according to the Othering & Belonging Institute at Berkeley (bit.ly/SegregationUCB). The percentages of Black residents in Southie and white residents in Roxbury are low (see Analyze Boston data: bit.ly/BostonDemoData). “Safe” is hard to define, but racially motivated hate crimes rates in Massachusetts haven’t changed much recently.

Do you mean the Walk-In Help Desk in O’Neill? It is open Sat. 10-6 and Sun. 11-7.

Shhh… Keeping it on the down low, you know, hush hush. I’m hoping people won’t recognize me in my costume.
