Hi there. Nana Addae again. I just wanted to dedicate this week to the importance of boxers in an open letter. I'm opening wide up, but like, in a letter. Both the dog and the profession. I just wanted to write this week about how much I love them. You know why? Do you know how much luck it takes to be born a dog that can be named Mike Tyson, because it's like, a boxer dog, and Mike Tyson is a boxer? Man, I wish I were a dog, but a boxer, and not any other dog. Why do they call them boxers anyway?

So, why do I love boxing and the dog known as the boxer? To begin, I think it's a really interesting sport that involves throwing hella hands, but with ultimate finesse. It's really an art if you think about it; in Mexico it's the second most popular sport after soccer. Even though it's (apparently) a dying sport, it definitely holds its weight in its rooted history and sportsmanship. Really unrelated, but have y'all seen "Mike Tyson Mysteries," though? Really good show, 7.7/10 would definitely recommend it.

So why are the dog boxers dope? I mean look at this lil nugget. I had to Google a photo of my dude over here but accidentally Googled "boxer god" first. I got it eventually.

I mean look at my lil dude over here. Props for being cute and cool. I like your style, dawg.

To wrap it up, though, you know the last cool thing about boxers? They have a really cool day dedicated to them called "Boxing Day" that's right after Christmas. Basically, a bunch of silly billies come together and box a whole bunch, whopping each other decent. It's kind of like a last minute Christmas present. I like to box. I want to go boxing now.

(Jokes aside, Boxing Day is the day people get their presents for Christmas and it's celebrated mainly outside of America. No one really boxes. I mean, you could. If you want to, we can always box. I'm always ready. Catch me posted up by the Jean Yawkey Center, Emmanuel College kids. I'm always down to box. I wish I knew how to box though).

I'll catch you guys next week.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
