As Spring Break comes to a close, and the crippling weight of your postponed responsibilities comes crashing down on your shoulders once again, it\u2019s helpful to pinpoint some things to look forward to for the rest of your semester! So close your eyes, take a deep breath, put your sweatshirt on because this bus is colder than a freakin\u2019 Boston winter and your overhead air conditioning is stuck on full blast, put your earbuds in because you bet that baby will be screaming for the entire ride, and imagine these beautiful BU treasures that await you. <\/span><\/p>\n

    <\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>The main thing to look forward to upon your return to BU is a smile and a \u201chow are you, my friend?\u201d from the nicest woman alive, who just happens to work as a cashier at the GSU. You can be sure that she will make a friendly joke about whatever food you\u2019re buying, which you will only catch the tail end of because you were struggling to put your ID back in your pocket, you clumsy fool. Then you will bid her a great day because she truly deserves one and you will have seven years\u2019 good luck.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    Another thing you\u2019ve surely missed over spring break is Pavement Coffee House, the best study spot known to man. Though you haven\u2019t missed doing homework, you know it\u2019ll be so nice to sip your Cinnamon Fig latte and listen to cool alternative playlists while you slave over your reading assignments.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    BU\u2019s comedy scene is always something to look forward to! Pictured above are two of the funniest people I have ever met: Fellow CA Hannah Schweitzer (COM \u201821), who performs with BU\u2019s premiere improv troupe Liquid Fun; and Danya Trommer (COM \u201821) who kills at Stand-Up Club! In fact, Hannah will be making her Liquid Fun debut in their show on March 16th<\/span><\/span>, and Danya and I are competing in BU\u2019s Funniest, a stand-up comedy competition that will determine which student will open for the famous comedian who comes to perform at BU! So many things to look forward to!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    COM is known for providing top-notch resources to its students, including industry standard equipment for students to rent out or use to FILM THEIR OWN TV SHOWS. (I know.) Butv10 is BU\u2019s TV station, and we write and film actual episodes of shows like Bay State, the longest-running college soap opera; Pals & Friends, a sketch comedy show that I write for; and Co-Ed, a mockumentary (comedy) show that I also write for! Hooray!<\/span><\/p>\n

    Squeezing In Time For Einstein\u2019s Bagels Between Classes

    No line is more worth the wait than the one for Einstein\u2019s Bagels in the CAS basement, which often extends down the entire hallway. But do you know who\u2019s going to wait as long as it takes for a hot bagel and coffee even if it means being 5 minutes late to class? You are. Why? Because you DESERVE that shmear of honey almond cream cheese on a toasted asiago bagel.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Rhett\u2019s Weary But Smiling Face As He Waddles Through The GSU<\/strong> <\/span><\/div>\n

    The fabled terrier Rhett is reclusive, but on occasion a few lucky BU students with a keen eye will be able to spot the creature as he is essentially dragged through the GSU link. He\u2019s so tired but so adorable. Will you be the one to offer a nice warm lap for him to nap on? Maybe. Rumor has it that if you let Rhett nap on your lap he will grant you 3 wishes and 40 convenience points. That\u2019s enough for two whole loads of laundry.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
