Earlier today, just as I was passing by Marsh Plaza, a flash mob hit. Twenty or so students, most of whom were decked out in BU apparel, began to dance in formation. They were accompanied by the BU marching band, and even Rhett made an appearance. The scene before me was so stereotypically college. I [...]

Every now and then I see something that makes me question my faith in humanity. Last night it was a youtube video. Stuart Chaifetz, the father of a ten year old boy with autism decided to send his son to school wearing a wire so that he could hear what was happening inside this classroom. [...]

I am ashamed to say that up until a few weeks ago, I had never set foot inside the music library at Mugar. As a senior, I feel like I have missed out on one of the coolest features of the library. I was completely oblivious to all the cool things this collection has to [...]

Today, I reviewed the Clover Food Truck that you see on campus between the BU Bridge and CFA. Is there a name for that tiny park with two benches that’s right there? Anyways, the food was awesome. The people were awesome. It was, in all, awesome. The only thing I should mention was that I [...]

By now, everyone has heard about Occupy Wall Street and how Occupy Wall Street turned into Occupy Boston which has now become Occupy L.A., Chicago, Washington D.C., and many other cities across the country.

“Go ahead”, Colleen said as she gave me the sheet of paper she gently ripped out of her notebook. It was not perforated. It was one of those days, and those days seem to be more common as I count down to the last day of school. Those days are like the days at the [...]

Do you remember what it was like going to school in the winter when we were kids? Well, if you are from the Northeast (or anywhere else that often has a snowy winter), it meant hearing about impending snow the night before and then hoping for a snow day. You would do anything and everything [...]

My life is about to change. I do not know how exactly, but what I do know is that graduation is looming, and life after December 21st is a plunge into a yet-to-be-determined future. One potential plan is to move to New York City, where I will be following the elusive dream of so many [...]

By Chris Clemente I was trapped with my Señora in an elevator. We had to make more small talk than usual. “Have you seen La Red Social yet?” she asked. “No, I haven’t, have you?” “No, no. I said that I’ve seen La Red Social.” “Si.” “They say some pretty interesting things about BU…and I [...]

I know older adults hate hearing this, but I actually felt old on my birthday. A couple days ago I turned 22. Oh, I know. People will say things like, “Oh my god! You’re still so young! Your life is just beginning!” It’s the same kind of reaction adults give you when you think you [...]
