About two years ago, I shared the same nervousness and enthusiasm as many of you. I can recall drafting lists with ideas on how to decorate my room, bulleting last minute items to purchase, and stalking the information pages of extracurricular clubs I found interesting. Images of friendships to come, future lectures to note, and adventures to embark on would constantly enter my mind. My imagination envisioned BU akin to Hogwarts.<\/p>\n<p>I pictured myself becoming the Oprah of our stellar Quidditch team. Unfortunately, the sorting hat thought otherwise. I was heartbroken when Student Services denied my petition for a time turner. Regardless, the magic of collegiate experiences is contagious. There have been moments where I have missed the BU Shuttle platform by just 9 \u00be\u2019s of a second (It happens to all!). Here\u2019s a handy life warning: DON\u2019T walk over the university crest, located in Marsh Plaza, before graduating (it\u2019s literally the dark mark!). FYI: Fluffy creatures are often spotted on university lawns during study periods and at random as therapy.<\/p>\n<p>COM is an extraordinary school full of phenomenal beings. Just thinking about all of the legendary footsteps that Terriers follow daily sends chills down my spine. I am convinced that we posse individual Marauder\u2019s Map- which steers us towards our passion and dreams! Get ready for a journey of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>WelCOMe<\/p>\n<p>-JTaylor<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is becoming extremely surreal for me at the moment.
