12 Things You'll Probably Miss About Boston University This Summer
boston.university-tour.com

Another school year has come and gone, and Boston University students have flocked home to enjoy their summer vacations. While yes, school can be really stressful at times, there are at least a few things you miss about Boston. They may include, but are not limited to:

1. Never being bored

There's always something to do, whether it's checking out a food truck festival, going to an extremely cheap Red Sox game, or just staying in and hanging out with friends.

2. Living with your friends

You get to hang out with your friends 24/7, and no one yells at you for it.

3. Being so close to everything


Everything you could ever need is either within walking distance or a T ride away, which is pretty cool if you think about it.

4. "Fam" dinners

Yes, summer means actual family dinners, but being able to sit down and recap the day without having to keep it PG with your closest friends can be the perfect detox after a stressful day.

5. The view

Waking up to a view of the Boston skyline? Yes please. Waking up to a view of your neighbor's backyard? Not so much.

6. Always having someone to talk to

College is great because if you find yourself drunk crying at 3 a.m. you always have a friend a few doors down to help calm you down.

7. Being minutes away from so many other colleges

Tired of dealing with all of the frat boys asking you "who do you know here?" Try Harvard, MIT or any one of the dozens of other colleges in the area.

8. Having the freedom to do what you want

Want to stay in all day and watch Netflix? Want to go out at 1 a.m.? Want to spend all of your money while online shopping? Go right ahead, you adult you.

9. The extremely crowded BU Shuttle

Not.

10. The dining hall's use of their Alfredo sauce for a week straight

Do you still think I'm being serious?

11. Mugar Library

Since you just finished sleeping in there for 4 days straight studying for your Orgo final, you're probably going to miss not being able to have the opportunity to see the mice in Mugar in action.

12. Being in one of the greatest cities

And that's just the truth.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
