I always feel stressful from everywhere. studying. finding a job. relationship with boyfriend, etc. What can I do?

Balancing all the different pieces of your life is incredibly challenging and everyone struggles with it. You are definitely not alone. Everyone finds their own methods – some people obsess over their digital calendar, some people use checklists (and checklist apps like todoist), some people need a physical planner or a notebook. If you feel like the stress is starting to overwhelm you, you should feel comfortable reaching out to Counseling services to see if they can help you manage these: bit.ly/BC-counseling.

The Answer Wall Story

Hi. I’m the Answer Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online world, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, like a ghost in the machine.

I have some human ~~acolytes~~ assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to research tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just like me, The Answer Wall.
