Yes another restaurant..so what i like to eat. Panera is a great place to go to especially in the winter. A hot bowl of soup and a sandwich or salad would do everyone good. I usually go there and just eat and I bring my laptop…they have free wifi. Its a great place to do work. It is a nice quiet environment with food, coffee, and pastries. Its not far from our dorm rooms either. Just walk down tremont towards emerson and it is at the corner of Tremont and Stuart Street. I recommend the broccoli cheddar bread bowl and the greek salad. nomnomnom

WINTER IS FINALLY HERE! and so is all the christmas activities that come along with it. Boston Common provides everyone with a chance to go ice skating on the frog pond. I went last week before Thanksgiving break and it was loads of fun! I was a tad rusty since I hadn’t skated for about a year but you get the hang of it after 10 minutes of just trying not to fall. It isn’t expensive at all and if you go with friends you’ll have a blast. I also found out that Tuesdays I believe are college nights so its $2 per person! everyone go and experience the fun and the adrenaline rush you get from it.

The dock that is right on the Charles River is a great place to just walk to and hang out! It has the prettiest view of Cambridge and of the Charles River itself. If you’re looking for somewhere to have a picnic at, this is the place. There are lounge chairs and always is packed with families or friends and even couples. It’s not a far walk from the dorms at all so if you can definitely make the trip there. There is also a park right before it so if you’re not feeling the dock, there’s always the grass. Bring a blanket, snacks, drinks and friends and have a fun afternoon.

I know we were asked to write something in regards to the class on diversity.  I have to say that Craig’s visit to class was very eye opening and really made me think about a lot of things. It was a really great way to get to know everyone better.  Going to school in the city has been such an amazing experience, mainly because all the different kinds of people.  I grew up in small town that did a poor job of representing diversity, so being surrounded by people who come from different environments and who have experienced different things has been a great experience.

 

On October 23^rd I attended a student political debate in the C. Walsh Theater. The debate was created by the Suffolk Libertarians and the moderator was a Suffolk University Professor. The panel consisted of two members from the Suffolk Democrats, Suffolk Republicans, and Suffolk Libertarians. The moderator would ask question regarding any policy or issue for this coming election and the party’s stance. Each party had a two minute chance to respond and a 90 second rebuttal. I’ll keep who I thought the winner of the debate was to myself because I have a bias. Overall it was a great time and an excellent way to hear different stances and opinions on certain issues from fellow classmates. It was informative and I hope student debates like this one will continue here at Suffolk. – Kalene

 

Just the other day I was walking down Newbury Street and stumbled across “Sweet” a cupcake bakery.  The inside was very cute and the staff was friendly and helpful.  I ordered a carrot cake cupcake and a double chocolate.  I was super upset to find that they looked much better than they tasted.  There is one food truck that often appears on Boylston Street in front of the Boston public library, it’s called “kick ass cupcakes.” So far I have only tried their maple bacon cupcake.  Surprisingly it was delicious!!! The original bakery is in Davis Square.

 

Walking around Boston just having some fun.  Me and a couple of friends leaving a mark around town!

We had a bunch of colors and ended up having a great time!

Boston is nice and open so if anyone is interested in just walking around and tagging stuff just do it at night and be chill about it.  Its all about the art and not about defacing material

Today was the last official class and I am excited the semester is coming to an end! Feels good knowing my first year as a college student is going well and looking forward to many more years of success and opportunities. This class definitely helped keep me focused and it some what reminded me of the “bigger picture.” SU 101 was great but I wish we could have had more field trips.

On the evening of November 6 I was located in Faneuil Hall watching the results of the presidential election. CNN Politics setup a screen in the middle of the center as it streamed the incoming results. It was awesome to watch the votes come in with a group of people I didn’t even know. The atmosphere was that of excitement. If you ever have the opportunity to be a part of a group watch I encourage you to do so. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a great experience and a lot of fun. – Kalene

 

During the winter months the Frog Pond in the Boston Commons converts into a skating rink. The rink is open to the public Monday – Sunday with varying hours. There is a daily admission price of five dollars and then the price of renting skates. I have never skated before and it was a new experience for me. It was a blast! It’s great place to have fun with friends. – Kalene
