We club at
Afterhours
(actually,
no
we do not) and eat at
Dunkin Donuts.
We
don't
cross the
bridge
alone
at
night.
We don't walk without
talking
on our
cell phones
or ever
S T O P
to
buy
items from the
overpriced
vendors. We
don't quite
understand
Semester Conversion.
We don't look while crossing the T tracks.
We don't go to our
8 AMs.
We don't
come home
from
Mission Hill
late at night
if we can avoid it.
We don't take
those t-shirts
from those
credit card people
thinking they are
free.
We
work hard. We
play
hard.
We
don't
like
BU.
At all.
(OK, with maybe a
few
exceptions)
Our weekends start
Thursday
afternoons and sometimes include
Tuesday
nights.
Our
S
T
R
I
D
E
O
F
P
R
I
D
E
is morning after
T-rides
and
cab fares.
We are all exceptionally
intelligent,
whether or GPAs confirm so or not.
We
live
for food that is
free.
UHOP
Pizza
at 1 AM.
(Oh wait. Not anymore)
Warm days
on
Krentzman Quad.
Marino.
Chicken Lou’s,
the student center,
and the
Husky Statue
make our campus feel like home.
Friday night hockey games.
Blizzards canceling classes.
Springfest.
Keg parties on Hemenway.
Crazy people in the tunnels.
Bums asking our broke asses for money in front of Store 24.
All-nighters in the dorms.
Tipsy Tuesday.
We're defined by the
people
we know, the
co-ops
we've had, the
sororities
and
fraternities
we belong to, the
pages
we appeared on in the
NU News...
those that were for being caught with booze.
Nights of drama.
Nights of.... what happened?
Hellos,
goodbyes,
"I love you's,"
"I like you's,"
"Where are you from?"
and everything in between..
but most of all, we are the
friendships
we've made and the
bonds
we've built.
The people may
fade
but the
memories
never will.
We're just
amazing kids
on an
exciting campus...
but we are NORTHEASTERN.
Now and always.
