After finishing an amazing semester abroad in Hong Kong, I returned to Boston just in time to graduate from Boston University School of Law. Looking back on the last three years, I am thankful that I decided to study law at Boston University. Although law school is difficult and involves an unexplainable amount of hazzing, […]

The wide variety of interesting/intimidating/intriguing foods I have found in the last couple of months in Hong Kong and in my travels in Asia combined with my near obsession to try different food deserves at least a couple blogs 🙂 Really fresh (aka live) crabs at a night market in Bangkok: This is a strange […]

There are many tourist attractions and local sites to see in Hong Kong. Since I have been here, I have spent a good amount of time exploring them. There are still many that I hope to see before I leave but here are a few of the highlights. The Peak: The Peak is probably the […]

Last year I participated in the Boston University Asylum, Immigration, and Human Rights Civil Litigation Clinic (AIHR). The clinic was one of the best experiences I have had in law school. After the stress of first year classes, I jumped at the opportunity to gain practical experience and law school credits outside of the typical […]

Last Thursday, I attended a social for my journal, The American Journal of Law and Medicine (AJLM). At BU, students can join on a legal journal during their second and third years. Journal selection occurs through a writing competition in the first year. After finals in the fall of the first year, students have a […]

When I fist moved to Boston (over two years ago), I arrived in town a couple of weeks before 1L orientation to explore the city. One of the best ways to see the city is just to walk around. I also took a Duck Tour (water/land tour vehicles that drive around the city and enter […]
