Please don't follow girls and ask for number at night.

2.4k Upvotes

Last night, as I was walking back to my dorm alone, I could feel someone following me. When I sped up, he suddenly ran up and tapped my shoulder. I was terrified, and he asked for my number, I immediately gave. I was almost scared to death, my soul felt like it was about to float away. Maybe he didn't mean any harm, but I was really scared. Guys, please don't do this. Ask for numbers during the day.

Apparently folks don’t like it when you threaten human rights. “Pro life? That’s a lie! You don’t care if people die.”

This rally was organized in response to the clowns doing the https://themensmarch.com/boston-2024 march along Comm Ave from Planned Parenthood to Boston Common today.

News BU College Republicans: “conservative students have long been marginalized”

I was just forwarded this email from the E-Board of College Republicans at Boston University. Say what you will about Kirk, but this is gross opportunism. I wonder if they have the same energy for SJP and the students who were suspended for their political beliefs… hmm…

Burner as I work on campus and want to keep my personal account separate from anything and everything BU related.

Do I snitch?

955 Upvotes

This guy was sitting next to me for my bio midterm. He smelled really bad, kept making distracting noises, guzzling water, and taking up the entire arm rest (spilling into my personal space) and breathing really loudly. He was also on his phone for a portion of the exam looking answers up. Now I normally don’t care for snitching like that but now I’m considering snitching just because he distracted me from my test.

The casual lowkey racism at BU is actually kinda insane

835 Upvotes

Definitely gonna get hate for this if it’s seen or be told “I’m too sensitive”/ “make everything about race” but I really don’t care. If you’re a student of color, particularly black, and you go to BU, you will most definitely experience some sort of racism. The worst part of all is that if you don’t even look into things you’ll overlook when it’s happening. I’ve been in so many scenarios where I’ll be sitting in class either on the first day or even the first few weeks and students will specifically skip the row that I’m in or sit like 4-8 seats across just to sit next to a white student. I remember one time, in a bio class and the professor said introduce yourselves to each other and the person sitting between me and another nonblack student looked both at me (a black student) and the other student, scooted over and went to talk to her 😭😭. Even in the library study cubicles I’ve had students see me study and will avoid the cubicles just to be where the other nonblack students are. It’s also so weird when these things happen because I’m reminded that some of these kids are pre med or pre dentistry and will eventually go into the healthcare field with these underlying racial prejudices. And I genuinely get it, no one should be forced to like someone or do something they don’t want to do but when these things happens kinda often, it just makes you wonder. That being said I think BU is an amazing school and even though I would love to transfer, I’ll always be thankful for the opportunity I get to come here. It’s just the casual racism or probably racial bias sometimes shock me to my core.

Harvard is setting a great example and is fighting to defend its mission and its federal funding. Do we think BU will follow now that Harvard and its impressive $$$ endowment is in the game?

Fuck this frat

686 Upvotes

The frat next to me is simply disgusting. They piss in their yard, any time of day then resume playing dye. They’ve come into our yard to piss before. Their homophobic/transphobic/misogynistic chats on their porch can be heard loud and clear each time. They don’t hide it.

Jokes of date raping people, how far they can go in pledge hazing, and excessive drinking is a daily chat audible by neighbors.

Also, if they’re reading this, stop yelling your door code from across the yard.

To all the people that cheat on their exams

680 Upvotes

I am snitching and im tired of hearing excuses about why I should let it slide.

Watching people die a little inside when they see me slowly walk up to the Professor while smiling sinisterly after seeing them on their phone gives me a kind of satisfaction and pleasure that words cannot describe. Those of you that says otherwise is lying because y’all inherently love to see others suffer.

What happens after I report them is none of my business but chances are, they will fail the class which they ABSOLUTELY deserve🥰 because there ain’t no way they getting a higher grade than me when I studied and they didn’t lmfao. Sure they might be depressed, have ADHD, or whatever but they chose to cheat and it’s my job to make sure that they will fail in life if they continue to cheat. I am teaching them a valuable lesson that they will remember for the rest of their lives, so in fact they should be thanking me.

In contrast to what people think, I am compassionate. Beneath my vigilant pursuit of justice lies a deep-seated concern for their moral development, as I graciously guide them toward the righteous path of academic integrity.

So to all the people that are cheating on their exams, just know that I am coming for you 🥰

Might not be my best email but after I heard BU threatened to replace Grad workers with AI AND they’ve raised tuition past 90k, I decided I needed to say something as an alumni. So sick of the rampant greed in our society. Good luck grad workers you have my full support!

How screwed am I?

605 Upvotes

I wanna preface this by saying that I know cheating is wrong, I get that. But I really didn’t think I had an option, there was no way I could pass this final without using chegg. I know the chem and physics department are cracking down, but I was wondering if those of us (most likely many) who cheated on our DA 140 PDP final are up shit’s creek? I just couldn’t master modern dance, regardless of how hard I tried. The final asked me to perform a basic “whip and nae nae”, and while I tried many times on my own, I ultimately needed to use chegg to find out how to whip and nae nae for my finals. I was able to Superman without the use of online tools, so would i at least still get the roughly 30% of my final that wasn’t helped by the internet? Please I really need to know, I’ve heard the dance department is really strict with this kinda stuff.
