Yes, we are in the terrible, awful last three weeks of the semester.

Group projects, presentations, finals, it feels like you are drowning in assignments. It’s really difficult to be positive about BU and school in general. To get through the next few weeks, I am going to focus on the little things that make me happy at BU. I’ll share them with you.

1. When there's a short line at the GSU.

When no one is at Panda Express at noon, and it honestly feels like someone is looking out for you up there.

2. Taking quiet walks on Bay State.

Trading the Comm Ave traffic for pretty brownstones.

3. When the BU Bus app tells the truth for once.

After long nights at Mugar, you don't have the patience for an inconsistent bus schedule.

4. The occasional dog-spotting on Comm Ave or Bay State.

Pupper. Doggo. Floofer. All are appreciated.

5. When you arrive at the dining hall when a new pizza comes out.

No lukewarm Vegetable Supreme for you.

6. When TA's have mercy on you.

7. Booths opening up in the GSU.

You're going to be there for hours. Might as well be "comf".

8. The last minute change from a cumulative final to a mid-semester final.

10. When the wind tunnel near Mugar isn't too crazy.

11. When there is no trouble using the wireless MyPrint.

The day your work prints the first time is a good day.

12. When the family knows you are suffering and sends you a care package in trying times.

13. 3 words. Krispy. Kreme. Fundraisers.

14. When the chill security guard is on duty Friday and Saturday night.

He won't judge you for two swipes... or three.

15. You have dining points to spare at the end of the semester and feel like a millionaire.

16. An empty laundry room. Praise

17. Empty cubicles at Mugar so you can study, stress eat, and wallow in peace.

18. When you get an outlet in the GSU just in time for your battery to hit 1%.

19. Free Cookies and Milk. One thing that makes living in freshmen dorms bearable.

20. Being steps from the Esplanade. Mom's right, fresh air does help.

21. When the Starbucks/Dunkin employees know your order without needing to tell them. Great for 8 ams.

22. When one of your back-to-back classes across campus gets canceled. No 1.5 mile walk in 15 minutes.

23. When you can say forget it, and just take a T into the city because Boston is our campus after all.

24. Rhetts breakfast sandwiches never let me down.

25. All the kind professors, dining hall staff, security guards and more that make BU the best it can be!

YOU CAN DO THIS!
