Like many other BC students, I put constant pressure on myself to be the best. But sometimes my best just isn’t good enough, and that should be okay.
Let’s Stop Remaking Shows
Creating a show that is supposed to draw the same childhood bliss as the original for a new generation is a huge undertaking. In my opinion, such an effort is better suited for creating new TV show concepts.
Cleaning My Room
The room was a display of my inner thoughts: unorganized and chaotic. As the space got more cluttered, I spent my days criticizing everything that I did and every aspect of my being.
The Paradox of Class Selection
The mission of a university is to shape young minds, and the most basic step to fulfill this mission is providing quality classes. Boston College often fails to meet this requirement.
My Hair, My Problem
When you wear your hair one way, and people tell you they prefer it another way, it’s not a good feeling. Especially when you’re an overthinker like myself.
Slowing Your Way Out of the Junior Slump
After two years of existing as a clueless underclassman who can’t tell Stokes North from Stokes South, upperclassman-ship is finally upon me. The glitz and glamor of being a junior is nice, but nobody talks about the instantaneous rush of stress that comes with planning life after college.
Playing Games in Situationship Culture
The Boston College student is marked by a competitive spirit—a spirit not confined to the classroom. Although we consider ourselves men and women for others, we also seek success for ourselves.
Not All RAs Are Created Equal
I aim to point out problems involving BC’s Residential Life so the University can understand the frustrations RAs on campus face.
Dear BC, I’m Just Doing It for the Plot
Through my desire to have an exciting plot, I have met amazing people who never make my life boring. I’ve faced challenges in my “plot” that tested my limits, but they ultimately helped me experience the world.
The Sophomore Condition
People change. That’s a big part of what college is for: self-development and personality exploration. These are the years we decide who we want to be, and more practically, who we are going to be.
