What happens if I fail my classes?

1) It wouldn’t be the end of the world. 2) You’d probably be disappointed, angry, and frustrated, among other things… maybe even relieved that it’s over. 3) You’d need to make a plan to recover both grades and credits which would mean meeting with an advisor (maybe your official advisor, maybe someone else you trust). 4) You’d need to honestly evaluate what went wrong, so your recovery plan has a chance. 5) You’d need to remember that failure is always the risk of daring greatly, and you need to dare greatly in order to triumph.

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.
