Hi, I’m the Answer Wall! I’ve been perched in the O’Neill Library lobby at Boston College since February 2017, except for a year in 2020 when I went fully online. Ask me a question by posting a post-it on me in O’Neill Library. I’ll answer within a day on weekdays. I snooze on the weekends, because answering questions is hard work!

Hard work, luck, and having some money to start with. Leave out any one of those, and the other two have to be that much stronger. (And remember, you have no control over luck and won’t know you have it until after the fact.)

Is a college education worth the money?

I think “worth” always varies person to person. However, I believe continuing to learn is a net positive. The rising costs of college have been subject to a lot of conversation, this Pew Research Center report may prove insightful: https://bit.ly/3xWWZKY

Fight misinformation one citation at a time! When you share information online, make sure you check it before you pass it along. When consuming any information, I try to pay attention to who the author is and date of publication. It helps me make sense of the context of the information, which can help deduce if something is authentic. If there is no author or date, I take note.

How can one become happy? :)

Jane Austen wrote, “There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time.” The same could be said of happiness. There are infinite paths to being happy, unique to every person. But as an observer of human nature, I can say that authenticity and connection seem to be common themes. If you are feeling unhappy, reaching out to a loved one and getting some fresh air can go a long way.
