Dear Mr. Fruit Basket, I know you have a great reputation as a matchmaker, but all the fruit you’ve given me has been mediocre. I’ve gotten bored with the fat red apples you keep showing me. They may be sweet and nice, but I need some zest in my life. That’s when you brought that […]

Oh, the Guilt
I wish that in the stupor after waking up, and during the onset of painful homework, I would finally learn and move on.
Clubs, aka university-funded ways to shirk work
I am a persuasive French wino that can stun people with insults and convince policemen that he and his party were in fact not responsible for the mutilated bodies tossed out of a window into an alley. All with the flick of a d20. The BU Role-Playing Society is one of the three clubs I’ve […]
Smoky gists, meanings, essences, themes…
The desk lamp that casts shadows across the room can still wash away my worries and make my room feel like home. I love being in a school with such animate people in abundance, but it’s still nice to be alone with your thoughts. As I look at my desk and see the free pens […]
Eggs and bakey
People who make dorm fire alarms should consider branching out into the alarm clock industry. That shit would not stop.
BU Schedule – Semester 1, Freshman Year
I plan to major in Computer Science with a possible minor in Psychology. I have dropped Spanish and will be studying Japanese. I elected to follow the Divisional Studies track rather than the Core Curriculum track. With DS, all of BU’s introductory courses (Psych 101, Bio 101, etc) are put into one of four categories: […]
Delving into a girly valley of valley girls
You know that Boston University students are a little weird when you find one describing to two small Asian boys how unprotected sex feels infinitely better than that with a condom. Things actually went pretty well considering that I’m probably going to never see most of the people again. It’s something that I found hard […]
“My Spanish teacher told me that if I went to Mexico, I only needed to know two words: cerveza and baño.”
-Random subway rider detailing the importance of beer and bathrooms Boston University Orientation from Wednesday to Friday. Forbidden to bring my laptop (and I should try to explore, anyway…) so I’m going to be listening to my recently rediscovered iPod Nano (its case made my parents unknowingly displace it, but also made it easier to […]
A Canticle for Cain
Written in the space of several hours the night before its graciously extended due date for Mr. Bonsignore’s Science Fiction & Fantasy Writing final paper. Emo? Perhaps. But it was an emo that let me pass the course.. Five inches? That’s a bit risky, thought Inanna. There are only two guards from what she can […]
Close a door, open a door
Rejected: Columbia College, Johns Hopkins University. Accepted: SUNY Binghamton, Boston University. Waiting on (but is more or less in the bag): Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I’ve said that I would be happy no matter where I got into, and that statement has held true. Unless RPI is willing to give me a full scholarship and a […]
