I spent the last two days reading a book called The Fault in Our Stars by John Green — I mentioned my intent to read it in my video earlier this semester. I finished it about half an hour ago, and it has taken me until now to really absorb and process what I’d read. [...]

Tis bittersweet to leave this school I came in shy, sweet, and maybe a fool I leave here now with passion and pride I cannot wait for that short, home, car ride What adventures are coming this summer It’s definitely not going to be a bummer My grandma’s cooking is the best Its time to [...]

As a guest writer for the library blog, I am honored to be able to put my words on paper—or website—in service of BU students everywhere. I know very little about the BU library and its ways, and while normally complete lack of knowledge about the subject of one’s writing spells failure for an author, [...]

Yesterday, Barack Obama addressed the United States from Afghanistan. For those who missed his speech and his secret or unexpected trip, Obama delivered his speech at 4:30am in Afghan time.

I love the man, but as a Political Science and International Relations double major, I argued with him. He does make some valid [...]

“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent” – Victor Hugo I was born in the wrong generation. I would give anything to have been able to experience Woodstock and I sometimes feel that kids these days don’t know good music. I love Queen, the Beatles, the Who, [...]

Can you believe that I have about a month left until I get to relax? In the meantime, I plan to bake a lot. I’d like to believe I’m good at it, and it’s very satisfying for me to make things for others. Sometimes I feel a bit guilty for making my friends consume things [...]
