I'm a senior at Boston College. After growing up on the South Shore of Massachusetts and never once sharing a dorm room with a non-Mass. resident, you can excuse me if I interchange the words "God" and "Belichick". I support all Boston sports teams, including Liverpool Football Club by extension (my support for them began before Fenway Sports Ventures' acquisition). I'm in the BC Communications Honors Program, which leaves plenty of career opportunities open upon graduation in May. I played soccer, basketball and baseball in high school, and have potentially played every possible intramural sport at BC. Ever since capturing the school-wide intramural soccer crown as part of a scrappy all-freshman (and 1 sophomore) B.Y.E. side, I've been yearning to return to that pinnacle. I have been to almost every home BC football and hockey game, but learned to stop buying basketball tickets after sophomore year. I've also been to my fair share of BC soccer games, which tend to feel like a whirlwind vacation to the Arctic Circle. I tend to think of myself as having a good sense of humor. I am also very open to other people's ideas, provided I agree with them. While On Campus Sports will skew heavily football, if you see a soccer post, it'll probably be from me.
