As a freshman, I’ve been told that I have a whole four years to decide my academic and career paths. I know that I will have to settle for only one or two of my interests in the end. I entered BU with 32 AP credits. I thought this would give me an edge over my peers, potentially allowing me to graduate early. This was far from the truth.
On Nov. 7, BU Hawaiian Cultural Association took us all on a trip to the tropics of Hawaii. After scanning my ID and stepping through the gates of Warren Dining hall, I was given a lei with flowers of vibrant blue, and ready for my challenge at hand. The menu for the night was vast, and it was my conquest to try it all.
With the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and school break, I’ve found myself in much need of a break from school, but mildly stressed about how to travel 400 miles home for this shorter break. While I can make it home in a day, it poses a bit of a challenge trying to coordinate how exactly I will get home. And for some of my friends who live even farther away, the short break means it would be impossible to go home due to distance and coordinating travel plans.
Considering all the terrible things that have happened in the real world in 2023, you might be ready to say no. But hold on, I’m about to share a real miracle story that happened recently — it all begins at Belmont Park in New York State, starting with a boy and his horse on their incredible journey of race and life.
I do love Christmas, but I am happy to hold off on singing, “Santa Baby” for a bit longer in order to have some Thanksgiving fun. Because Thanksgiving is so much fun! You get to make people go around the table and thank you for a bunch of things! What other day can you do that?

When our lives are so entrenched in our phones, it can be overwhelming to pull them out even for a second to take a picture. With a compact and convenient device — additionally providing a vintage, polished aesthetic that an iPhone camera lacks — digital cameras are, ironically, a moment of solace in the digital age.
“Nerdy Prudes Must Die” is just as outspoken and hilarious as its name suggests. It’s the fifth installment of the Hatchetfield series from StarKid Productions. Like its predecessors, it’s a horror-comedy musical set in the fictional town of Hatchetfield, except this time it’s a parody of 90s’ teen-slashers, complete with the high school stereotypes and questionable horniness.
In my senior year of high school, I listened to Faye Webster every single day. Whether I was driving home from school or doing homework, her smooth, dreamy voice was always playing in the background. I finally got to see her in concert this year, and this experience made her one of my favorite artists of all time.
With the release of Genshin Impact globally on Sept. 28, 2020, this wave of anime-style gaming finally hit the U.S., planting Hoyoverse’s lore deep within North America, sprouting and flourishing post-pandemic with a nationwide symphony tour.
I’ve lived a lot of my life doing things in order to make my younger self proud, and I think that 6-year-old, wide-eyed me would be more than proud to see where I am today. So, I’d like to write a small ode to her and tell her of all the things I wish someone had told me.
We cannot forget the foods that can be served from breakfast to dinner, and from appetizers to desserts. The foods that take on countless textures and tastes, suited for any and every holiday and occasion. When thinking about these egg-cellent comfort foods, one continuously remains the most versatile: eggs.
