With midterms in our midst and finals fast approaching, the pressure is rising for many BU dancers. So, to help you decompress before Origins 2017, we’re sharing the funniest Dance Moms moments that describe each BU college. Sit back, relax and enjoy a laugh!
College of Arts and Sciences
CAS students are notorious for having less homework than some of the other BU colleges – but that doesn’t mean they want to study any more than the rest of us! Just like Maddie, CAS students might find themselves needing a bit of a push to finish that essay or reading assignment for class.
College of General Studies
High school grads who come to CGS might not know what they want to do with their lives just yet – or they might just be feeling burnt out from years and years of homework, tests and projects. Either way, CGS students are fortunate enough to get a bit of a break to explore different career options.
College of Communication
We can see why some people, like Abby Lee, might accuse COM students of only caring about their Instagrams – but in reality, COM students see how important social media is to building a professional brand. In reality, their eye for filters, captions and comments is a unique skill they should each be proud of!
College of Fine Arts
While Broadway (or the MFA or the Symphony Orchestra) might be the end goal for some CFA students, they’re no more ready than the rest of us college students to dive right into a career. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all put off graduation a bit longer and stay home eating chips?
Questrom School of Business
Questrom students’ strength lies in their professionalism; you’d be hard-pressed to walk into that big glass building and find someone who’s not wearing a business suit. So, naturally, Questrom students have a low tolerance for unprofessional behavior – and aren’t afraid to call others out on it, just like Abby Lee.
School of Engineering
Arguably, the School of Engineering is one of the most difficult colleges to get into on BU’s campus. To someone who’s not in ENG, all that mathematical jargon might sound a little bit like bragging – but really, ENG students simply aren’t afraid to own their intelligence.
Sargent College
Whether they’re pre-med or enrolled in one of the college’s six-year combined degree programs, Sargent College students are some of the most studious, hardworking folks at BU – and just like Abby Lee’s dancers, distractions (like boys) are an unwelcome diversion from achieving all of their academic and career goals.
Pardee School of Global Studies
Students in the Pardee School of Global Studies look up to their political role models (whether that’s JFK, Ronald Reagan or, yes, Michelle Obama) to guide their career paths. Say what you will about Pardee, but we challenge you to find a more focused squad of dedicated students than this college.
Shaw School of Hospitality
Like Mackenzie, Shaw students might sometimes get confused for other colleges because they’re such a small, selective bunch. However, students in Shaw’s hospitality program are a close-knit community who understand how great they are, even if their college isn’t the most well-known program on campus.
Wheelock College of Education
Last but not least, let’s talk about Wheelock College of Education, aka the school formed by the merger between SED and Wheelock College. We don’t really know what’s going to happen once Wheelock College students arrive on campus – all we know is that this merger is, indeed, causing the entire BU student body stress!
We hope our post gave you a pre-midterms (and pre-Thanksgiving) laugh to help you get through all the stress of studying and going home for the holidays!
