Week 1 Boston

First week at Boston university and it has been pretty eventful so I footed should list the things I’ve done so far!

1. Moved into Danielsen Hall, or in the words of Jeff, Narnia. It’s literally the east end of Boston university, I have no idea why I was put there but a few things you should know about the dorm;
The view can be a hit or miss, other buildings v. Boston skyline v. Charles river
It’s next to a ka-jillion MIT frats, yeah we’re so far that MIT frat surround us!

The nearest place to eat is at Myles standish hall, but it ends with my freshmen year as they’re building a new building with eventually the biggest dining hall at BU!

The rooms are maze like but very nice!

I’m in a fairly large triple! With a walk in closet and everything, so it’s pretty satisfactory!

What I did this week:

Used my unlimited meal plan to it’s fullest!

Pros: just go in get coffee, fruits, or snacks at any time in ANY dining hall!

Cons: about $400 less dining points (to be used at the gsu) but I dot live close to central campus anyways!!

Went to two frat parties and what I’ve learned is;

MIT frats are dry for the first two weeks, but still VERY fun they have good atmosphere and music! Dancing was fun!

BU’s Asian frat party is the polar opposite, themed parties. Girls get in free before some time and guys have to pay $5.
It was just drinking, and the music an atmosphere sucked! The music literally came from a MacBook pro! And it was in a basement!

Chocolate city is AMAZING, $10 to get in and you should definitely go, I haven’t personally gone yet but I hope to soon!

Classes;

Chem101, try to get prof. Abrams, I’m going to two chem lectures at this pout my normal one and then his! He’s an awesome professor and you understand him!

Math123, borinngggggg I should’ve taken that offer to go into calc2 but hopefully now I get a high GPA

Writing100 definitely get professor Campbell!!! She’s amazing and a very interest teacher! She teaches king Arthur!

EK100 engineering, definitely go to them! Loads of free food! Nom nom nom….even with unlimited food plan I still love it!

Best dining halls:

First: west

Second/ third are Myles and Warren!

Also for jobs:

Don’t work at a dining hall, it sucks I quit after the first day!!! Hahaha!

But good news I actually got the monitor position at Ingalls which is an engineering study lounge! Looking forward to it!

Well hope to type a blog periodically! Hope you guys enjoyed!

At the airport

So I’m early 40 minutes before my plane leaves because I completely forgot the buffalo international airport is really just a small airport with 26 gates… Unlike the bigger airports I’ve been to (Newark, LAX, or logan!) so I figured right now would r an awesome time to blog! Because I have like 5 readers!! But I love each and every one of you except stas right now! Because he has been AWOL for two whole days! I don’t feel the love! But yes I love going to the airport and checking in!! I got a seat in the second row!!! I have no idea if thats good or bad I don’t remember anymore but it makes me feel like an important person!
Anyways I’ll just leave you guys a photo of me in the airport!

Last night in Buffalo..

For some odd reason I’m feeling overly anxious and excited to be going back to college, I mean yes I did go to the BU summer bridge program, but going back this time is FOR REAL, no 17 person group filled with anxious young kids, but this time thousands of freshmen, ready to take BU by storm will be there.

And I have to say I’m a bit scared and excited, excited for my new life but at the same time scared for it. I hope I don’t change much as a person I like being a Doris – so hopefully I’ll stay the same!

I’m also anxious to meet new people – MY ROOMMATES!!!!!! So excited to go meet them tomorrow, I also have some worries on the back burner, as I left some stuff with the bu bridge pals (thank you andrew and iyana if you ever read this post, I forever love you! )!

Another worry is what if I don’t meet any friends – but that worry is just me being stupid, so hopefully all goes well, I think another reason why I’m anxious is because I’m going alone this time to boston. That fact by itself is a little daunting but hopefully it’ll be okay!

I hope to blog and Danielsen Hall during my stay at BU because as a freshy going into a not so well known dorm it was FLIPPING hard to get any info on the dorm, so hopefully my blog will enlighten future freshies going to BU and then not being put in warren/west/major freshmen dorm.

But hopefully my experience will still be the same – or greater than those who go to a major dorm, who knows maybe I’ll like my smaller dorm that happens to be 15 minutes away from central campus… (probably not, but I’ll be BFFs with the BUS! ) and newbury st.!!! ❤ Shopping ftw!

Lastly my worry is about my finger painting skills as I can officially only do one hand and my toe nails, hopefully I’ll improve.

P.S note to sell BUY YOUR TEXTBOOKS.

Eating chicken masala for dinner

Like the title said that’s what I ate but the BEST was the pesto pasta it was SOOOOOO good!!! So yeah today I was so freaking tired because I had too much fun, if you know what I mean, last night. 😉
But in all seriousness it was amazing! But I got yelled at today in class and I was pulled over I’m english and asked if I needed help with writing and I’m like “whuttt…..” like seriously wow. But today was pretty awful. Mosquito bite has swollen quite a bit and I’m so tired!

Still in Boston!

So here, I’m going to write a legitimate post for those who want it. Well today I had a pretty rad(ical) experience as I woke up and had a minor freakout as my mom told me to go find plane/train tickets because she couldn’t pick me up! I had to freak out and quickly wake up, brush my teeth, and then look online for 15 minutes to see who much it would be! I only had like 15 minutes to really look though, since I had to go to the museum of science today! Which was epiccccc! I loved it, the Muga Omni Theater was quite and experience, it was quite lovely, we watched the coral reef show, and I loved it, I’m beginning to think if I wasn’t in engineer I’d definitely be a film major. I loved how watching the film made me feel, it was quite glorious, how the world is a small place in which we all had to protect. And then of course I watched the live birth and EW EW EW EW EW never going to get pregnant or have kids it seems like a very messy and stressful period in a woman’s life I don’t want to experience!
After that I back to BU campus and ate at west, it was pretty good, chinese stir-fry and OMG lobster night is on my bday!!!! YAYYYYY so excited for it!

And then now I’m writing my research proposal to my PROSTAR experience, woot woot stats, my piece will be on electric/hybrid cars and why they really haven’t lifted up in the commercial market. It should be quite a boring paper, but I’m excited I loved the electric cars, EVO CAR FTW! 😀
