Graduation Might Ruin the World Tour

Saweetie’s not the only one performing on campus. 

One of my friends is a Boston College microcelebrity. Everyone either knows him personally or at least knows of him. Whenever I walk anywhere with him on campus, he’s bound to bump into someone he knows every ten feet.

Ever since then, I’ve started treating my own walks on campus like I’m on tour. My friend’s more like Flo Rida—a crowd favorite. Me? I’m more like Saweetie—a little less mainstream, met with mixed reactions.

As a nursing student in my population health clinical, I was placed at an elementary school in Lower Roxbury.
