Time to attend Open House, submit your final decision and rock your new BU gear in school. Next up is finishing senior year on a high note and attending summer orientation. Believe me when I tell you that once you go to orientation you\u2019ll never want to leave Boston for the rest of the summer. By the time the weekend is over you\u2019ll be planning lunch dates with your new friends for September. While at orientation you will get a small taste of Boston\u2019s vibrant culture. Just wait until you get here in the fall when you can fully explore (and eat and shop your way through) the different neighborhoods.<\/p>\n<p>Take advantage of the city as much as you can because as the semester goes on and your workload builds up, you may venture out into the city less and less. Here\u2019s my advice: the best time to actually enjoy Boston is when you\u2019re super stressed. Manage your time, hide out in a quiet space in-between classes and then at night unwind by taking a mini shopping trip to Newbury or attending a concert. You\u2019ll see that by taking a few hours off from assignments will feel incredibly therapeutic.<\/p>\n<p>On a recent Monday night my best friend and I went to the Chairlift concert at Brighton Music Hall. Getting the chance to dance just a few feet away from one of my favorite current bands not only helped me to de-stress for a few hours, but gave me a boost of energy for the rest of the week. So be spontaneous, enjoy Boston. YOLO.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-532\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2012\/04\/julianna-image.png\" alt=\"julianna image\" width=\"243\" height=\"243\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2012\/04\/julianna-image.png 243w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/files\/2012\/04\/julianna-image-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First and foremost, CONGRATS on your acceptance to BU COM!
