I hope this nostalgia blast brings me some emotional catharsis and some entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Here is my ranking of my old COM blog posts.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Three BU Related Movies to Watch In Quarantine.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This one gives me bad vibes for many reasons, the first is in the name: \u201cquarantine\u201d. I made this list sitting on the floor of my living room, deep in my feels\u2026 because I was in quarantine. I don\u2019t want to dwell on this part of my life anymore, so let\u2019s move on.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/comblog\/2021\/09\/23\/nick-m-a-definitive-ranking-of-bu-dining-halls\/\"><strong> THE DINING HALLS: RANKED BY A SENIOR WHO LOVES FOOD &amp; LACKS A DINING PLAN.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I wrote this one last semester. As a first semester senior, I think I was projecting a distinct longing for caretaking onto my blog. Cooking for oneself can be fun and delicious, but it\u2019s an adult activity, and adulthood is scary. My main takeaway is: I wish I still had access to prepared food.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> The Best Places Near BU To Escape Your Room<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I like this one because it offered some physical escape from the trappings of going hybrid, as well as mental escape. Walking still helps me refocus and destress and there are plenty of great places to walk around campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><strong>What I Gained From Being On-Campus This Semester<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This blog was a means for me to share one of the most positive experiences I had in the midst of a pandemic and presidential election: covering said election. BUTV10\u2019s The Vote went on to win an Emmy, but that award indicates the passion that I experienced being part of the project. It was a fulfilling experience that reminds me of the multitude of reasons why I love this school.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">HONORABLE MENTION: THIS ONE!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re probably thinking \u201cHuh? This is too meta for a student ambassador blog.\u201d You\u2019re right. However, this is a list of ALL my blogs, so it\u2019s gotta be here. It only receives an honorable mention because it doesn\u2019t offer anything new, just nostalgia and graduation goggles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Thank you to anyone who ever read these posts, and to anyone I may have crossed paths with while at COM. I am truly grateful for this wholesome experience.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RANKING MY PREVIOUS BLOG POSTS (most of which have been rankings) Going into my eighth and final semester at BU also means entering my fifth semester as a COM Ambassador.
