Highlighting
2014 D rinking out of Starbucks red cups, referencing someone’s common cold as Ebola and snapchatting the first Boston snow (which was really just half rain): these are the sad sources of entertainment for many a college student during the bleak latter half of fall semester. Finals are upon us and the only comforting thought on everyone’s mind is that winter break cannot come soon enough. While you are likely
part of the majority ready to sign their lives away on a new year that brings with it new beginnings, take a minute to reflect (#soBC). Do not box this past year up and place it in the back of your mind along with the rest of your elapsed collegiate experiences. Take a moment, even just so long as to read this article, and reminisce on the many unforgettable moments that constituted 2014 as the exceptional year that it was, here, at Boston College.
