Looking Back on your First Semester as a Freshman:
What was most embarrassing moment so far here at BC?
I was doing my laundry in the basement of Fitzpatrick and walking back to my room, I miscalculated the floors. I went to the second floor (boys floor) instead of the third floor (my floor) and tried entering my code into the room in the same location as mine. Go figure, the boy who lives in that dorm comes up behind me as I am trying to punch in the code and probably thinks I am trying to break in or something. He asked, “What are you doing?” and I walked away calmly trying to avoid awkward eye contact.
What advice would you give yourself for second semester? Don’t expect anything so that you are not let down. I believe that without expectations, I can let everything and anything happen. And knowing this, I learn that everything happens differently… in a good way though. Coming to BC, I thought I was going to be a Bio major but then realized that science was not my thing. Now I can explore other classes.
What do you like to do for fun here on or off campus?
For fun, I really like going to concerts and of course shopping in Boston. I also like going to classes at the Plex.
What guilty pleasures have you indulged in to help you escape for the stresses of school?
My guilty pleasure definitely has to be watching the Kardashians. It’s a love/hate kind of thing. I can’t forget eating Dove chocolates (Ever read the inspiring quotes on the wrapper?). So addicting!
How would your friends that you’ve met so far describe you in four words?
According to my friends, I’m “bubbly, happy, giggly, and energetic.”
What are you looking forward to coming into your second semester at BC?
I am actually really interested in the different classes that I am taking and have still yet to take. Already, without hesitation, I can say that Courage to Know is my favorite class and I have only had two classes.
