Are You A True Bostonian Student?

Going to school in Boston definitely distinguishes students from going to school in other cities. Read to see if these apply to you!

1. You ride the MBTA constantly

Otherwise known as the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, MBTA is everyone's mode of transportation in Boston. There's def a love-hate relationship with the MBTA. If you haven't used it yet, do you really go to school in Boston?

2. You've been to at least one Fenway game to cheer on the Boston Red Sox!

Even if you're not a Red Sox fan, you've been to one of their home games. Whether through group coupons, university trip, or club trip, going to a Red Sox game in Boston is a commonality for all Boston students.


3. Winter? Pshhhh. That's no biggie.

Boston students are used to the eternal winter. University doesn't cancel classes for snow, so three feet of snow doesn't stop you from attending lectures.

4. You know that Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and Boston College aren't REALLY located in Boston.

Everyone thinks that Harvard, MIT, Tufts, Boston College are located in Boston, but true Boston students know they are located on the outskirts of the city.


5. Boston Common vs. Boston Commons

It's Boston COMMON, not Boston COMMONS! There's no "s", you silly tourists.


6. You've fallen in love with the Boston skyline at night

There's no way you haven't seen what Boston looks at night time. You probably fell in love with the skyline at first sight. It's breathtakingly beautiful.

So...are you a true Boston student?

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
