Favorite Place: Boston

 Week 1


Boston, Massachusetts

One of my favorite places that I've visited thus far happens to be one of the most populous cities in the Northeast: Boston, Massachusetts. I was up there for my cousin's wedding, and let me tell you, it was an absolutely beautiful city. One of my favorite areas to see was the Port of Boston.

And of course, who doesn't take a stride through downtown when they're in a new city? Here is an aerial view of downtown Boston. Look how massive it is! The dazzling skyscrapers so close to the body of water were something I've never seen before.

    Boston is one of my favorite cities too, Long; my aunt lives near there. And maybe you will be interested in exploring some of the Native storytelling traditions from that part of the country; Massachusett link are an Algonquian people... here's Leland's Algonquin Legends of New England link :-)

    Hi Long,
    I have never been to Boston before but read and hear about it all the time from history books and shows in school. It truly does look beautiful from the photos you linked. I hope that one day I can visit to see it in person! That downtown view looks incredible and like you said it is also like something I have never seen before. I have seen the Devon close to the river, but never near such a large body of water. Thank you for sharing your favorite place, Long!

 Hello! My name is Long, I'm currently a senior studying Microbiology Pre-Med route, and might I say, time has been going by way too fast for me right now. I remember just yesterday that I was a freshman entering the campus in Fall 2017 without a clue as to where my classes were. But, here we are, 5 semesters later, and I guess there's nothing you can do about it but try your best to catch up! Am I right? In the past two semesters, something that I was proud about was the matter that I achieved a 4.0 GPA in both of my busiest semesters of college so far. I know I'm giving myself a pat on the back right now, but seriously at some points during those semesters, I contemplated ripping off all my hair. I can say that, for me, 2019 has been a year of work after work after work, I couldn't find any time for myself. Spring 2019 I was pledging a fraternity. In summer, I was taking biochemistry every weekday for 2 months. And Fall 2019, I busied myself with 5 science-related cla

 The Lion in Love Once upon a time, there was a Lion, who was became madly in love with a human woman and had proposed the question of marriage to her parents. Seeing that the King of the Beast was at their door and asking for the hand of their daughter for marriage, they didn't know how to decline. The woman's parents did not want to anger the King of the Beasts Finally, the woman's father told the Lion, "We are honored by your interest in our daughter. However, seeing that she is small and weak, we fear that your own affection for our daughter can end up hurting her. Being that is the case, would you be willing to clip you claws and remove your fangs? Surely we would reconsider." The Lion, being so madly in love, did exactly what the parents of the woman asked. He went and got his sharp claws clipped and his large fangs removed. However, when he came back to the parents of the woman, the parents merely laughed in front of his face and denied them of his proposal
