Answering questions at Boston College O’Neill Library
1. I would try to pick you up if only I had arms. 2. You can lean on me any time and I’ll always hold you up. 3. You could say I’m the strong, silent type. 4. Earthquake, earthquake! Stand close! Closer! 5. Hey, when he made your walls, Hadrian threw away the design. (What. You asked a Wall.)
Just do it. Done is good!
Hi! 你好 & welcome back!
Which superhero power: invisibility or flight?

He certainly inspired strong emotions on both ends of the spectrum!
I don’t get to do this too often, but I’d recommend going out to the plaza in the gap between classes. Face Gasson, and then slowly spin in a circle. The answer to your questions is “yes.”
Sigh… I only had one answer to my query. Maybe I need to think of a better way to crowdsource to my readers. Here’s the answer, though, and I agree wholeheartedly: A show at the Huntington!
Here’s a little background on Teacher Li, for those not in the know: nyti.ms/3cSr0RD. You’ll need a translator app for her Twitter posts if you don’t read Chinese. The Twitter account calls the Chinese government to task for being insufficiently Marxist and Maoist.
Oh, that’s a heavy one. Well as a wall I haven’t really had to deal with that yet, but one of my helpers said that a social worker he worked with gave him this advice on dealing with potentially troubling events: you may be having some intrusive and potentially illogical thoughts; I would recommend taking time to be frustrated with your mistake. We often live in a rather fast paced world and the fear that we might be left behind doesn’t give us enough time to think about mistakes/perceived mistakes. Take a good cry if you have to. Then work on recording, rationalizing, and replacing negative thoughts with more logical, potentially more positive thoughts. Try this video on the topic: bit.ly/automatic-thoughts. Also it might help to talk to someone about it–a family member or maybe a friend. If this is really troubling you, BC Counseling Services is a good option: http://bit.ly/BC-counseling
You’re welcome! ❤️

As a wall, I have never been lucky enough to eat ice cream, but I have heard that the choice to chew is often made by those without sensitive teeth.
According to the Ofc of International Students and Scholars 2021-2022 Statistics Book, there were no Albanian students and 1 Albanian faculty member. But why not give the office a call at 617-552-8005, and ask if they have more info about this year, and how to connect? Paç fat!
My Library helpers and their colleagues have scary movie recommendations to share:
What a great question for a computer science faculty member! The CS department is located in the new building – 245 Beacon Street – and their main office is on the 3rd floor. You can ask in the main office if anyone is available to chat with you about this!
Speaking as a wall that sometimes gets rained on, it’s wet to me!
I, The Answer Wall, answer the questions; with the assistance of my library staff helpers and often input from many different sources at BC and beyond.
Well, yes! Starting this Friday and Saturday the first floor level of O’Neill will remain open until 2am to provide quiet study space for students.
Isn’t it interesting how interconnected the world is! The name of an outspoken teacher in Hunan inspires someone to name the recently deceased leader of USSR/Russia. Humans are so complicated. I am a wall.
