MUFASA!

Hey dudes and dudettes!

What's up? First post guys! Yes! I'm David Nguyen from Cushing TWO Newton! It's the place to be! Alright, enough of the exclamation marks. So quick bio of me:

- I am part of the FRESHMAN Class of 2013
- Psychology Major with Pre Med
- Clubs I am involved in: Parkour Group, Chinese Student Association (CSA), Vietnamese Student Association (VSA), and Southeast Asian Students Association (SEASA)

I had my interview for Freshman Representative in CSA today. I was ten minutes late for it because I thought the interview was in Campion, and that was the wrong building. But I just finished watching the Lion King with my dorm, which made it all better. It is an amazing movie as all of you know.

If you have any questions about Pre-Med or any of the groups I am in, feel free to send me email at nguyenec@bc.edu.

Alright guys, peace out!

About me and my sophomore year so far!

Hi! I'm Libby and this is my first post! I will start by telling you a little bit about myself.

I am from Woodbury, Minnesota, but have lots of family on the East Coast so I have spent tons of time in the Boston area throughout my life. I actually lived in Duxbury, Massachusetts for two years when I was 7-8. I've played competitive traveling softball since I was 9 and enjoy co-ed intramural softball here at BC!

I am a sophomore and an Economics major in the school of Arts and Sciences. In the beginning of last year, I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to major in, between Psychology and Economics. It turned out, I grew to love Econ and decided to do a Sociology minor in place of a Psych major! I chose Sociology rather than Psychology because although I loved science in high school, my interests changed when I got to BC. I decided I like that Sociology focuses more on group interaction versus Psychology's study of the individual and the brain. I have always loved math! So, in addition to the Econ major and Soc minor I am hoping to take 6 classes in the business school: I considered applying to transfer to the Carroll School of Management last year, but decided I would instead take up to 6 classes in CSOM since BC allows it, and stay in A&S! I am taking Financial Accounting this semester to start my CSOM experience.

Last year, I lived on Upper Campus in Loyola Dormitory and this year I live in an eight-person suite in Walsh on Lower! I am loving it so far.

My first weekend back, in addition to watching BC dominate Northeastern in football, I went into Boston with my boyfriend (we met in Loyola in the beginning of last year!). We started at Boston Commons (the park, lots of people, grass, benches, paths) and migrated through Beacon Hill (tons of beautiful, really expensive homes tucked in a quiet little neighborhood), and walked along the Charles River all the way to a Boston University T-stop! It was really relaxing and it was a good way to spend a gorgeous day.

This weekend was Parents' Weekend. I always think it's really funny to watch all the parents walking around campus and in the dining halls and even in classes with their son/daughter! My boyfriend is from New Hampshire, so his parents came down to watch BC football beat Wake Forest. It was a very nerve wracking game! We had what seemed like a safe lead for a while, but then Wake Forest scored two touchdowns in the end of the 4th quarter to tie the game! Luckily, we made an exciting victory in overtime. After the game, we went to the North End (Italian section of Boston) for a delicious dinner!

Well, I think I'm going to head to the Plex (gym) but if you have any further questions feel free to email me at kroening@bc.edu or keep reading my posts! I hope to post about once a week.
