While this fall semester looked quite different than the last, I have been so lucky to be able to continue my education on Boston College’s campus despite the pandemic. This fall, I declared a Philosophy major with a Perspectives Concentration in addition to my Communication major, and have been thoroughly enjoying my classes in both disciplines. This year, I am taking Perspectives II: Modernism and the Arts, and have so enjoyed continuing my study of philosophy alongside modernist art and literature. I am also working towards the completion of my Communication requirements, enrolling in critical methods and public speaking courses, which certainly looked different this semester in an online format. I have also been very fortunate to continue dancing with the Boston College Dance Ensemble in our Brighton Campus studio and look forward to the possibility of performing virtually at some point in the future. I have also begun working as the External Editor of the Bellarmine Law Society Review, a biannual publication of undergraduate legal scholarship, and have so enjoyed the exposure to the opinions of many undergraduate scholars provided by this position. As COVID-19 has created a very unique on-campus environment this year, my friends and I have been spending lots of time outside on BC’s greenspaces and finding new ways to explore the city of Boston in a COVID-safe manner. Most recently, I began my application to study abroad next fall. Though COVID certainly poses some logistical challenges to this endeavor, I am very excited by the breadth of opportunities that BC offers. I am immeasurably grateful to MVYouth for your continued support, and look forward to all that the rest of my time at BC will bring.
