An American-born Chinese who discovered herself amidst the bustling college city of Boston, MA.

Rushing to do her makeup in front of her gold-framed vanity mirror, Annie Li—a junior in Hospitality at Boston University—gets ready for a busy Monday with “Motion Sickness” by Phoebe Bridgers playing in the background.

From hidden campus locations to iconic traditions, there are some experiences I believe every Boston University student should cross off before graduation.
