10 Things to Be Salty About: A Boston College Anti-Thanksgiving

November 26, 2015 //  by Caitlin Mason

Shares22FacebookTweet

This time of year especially, we’re supposed to give thanks and profess our gratefulness for literally everything. We set aside our worries and problems and try to focus on the good things in life. Alas, all that thankfulness can get a little overwhelming–sometimes there are things we just aren’t thankful for. Here are 10 things BC students are salty about this year.

1. Lots of Work Due Before Thanksgiving

2. Bad Changes to the Dining Hall Menus

3. Midterms…Still

“I’m salty that BC is the only school that still has midterms this late into the semester. Shouldn’t we be done with midterms and focusing on finals?” – Jason Lam, 2016

4. Black Friday Starting Even Before Friday

5. Badly Timed Final Exams
