Why Boston Is The Worst City Ever

It's a wicked terrible place.

Why Boston Is The Worst City Ever
City Data

As someone who goes to school in Boston, I can tell you just how terrible it really is. All the college students, food, and events are downright awful. Here are the worst things about Boston.

1. The food here is disgusting.

The seafood here is terrible. I mean, who comes to New England for seafood? It's just not good enough here. And don't even try to find delicious Italian food in the North End. Good restaurants are few and far between here. *yawn*

2. People here are slow walkers.

Living here makes you an even slower walker. We don't have places to be or people to see. Why would we have to walk fast?

3. The art here is horrible.

Not only is the art here terrible, there are very few museums to go to. Museum of Fine Arts? Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum? What are those? Never heard of them.

4. The shows here are awful, too.

Let's face it: The Theater District is arguably the worst place in Boston. There are no late-night "Rocky Horror Picture Show" performances, no off-Broadway shows, and certainly no short films directed here by Emerson College students. There's simply no room for the performing arts in Boston.

5. There's no way to be politically involved here.

Think about it: Would politicians really make the time to travel to a highly populated city that's bustling with 250,000 college students? What a waste of time and campaign funding. Here in Boston, we don't even have a major newspaper or news station to give us information on what's happening in politics. We're clueless.

6. The lingo here is so annoying.

It's wicked annoying, if I say so myself. And the accent? Ugh, please. It gets even worse when the Red Sahks ah in tahwn, and people from Hahvahd yahd come fuh duh Sahks game. I certainly didn't grow up tahkin' like this.

7. There's absolutely NO history here.

No monuments, no re-enactments, no Boston Tea Party. None of that. Nuh-uh. I've never walked the Freedom Trail, or on cobblestone streets. Where would you even find those things here in Boston?

In all seriousness, Boston is one of my favorite cities. Ya bettah come fuh a visit!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
