It's too low.
There we go.
They say third time's a charm and
I'm starting to believe it.
My freshman year at BU was great,
but it involved a lot of mask
wearing and Zoom classes.
My sophomore year was even
better as things started to return
to normal.
But now in my junior year, the
campus has fully come to life and
I've experienced BU at its best.

In college,
you've gotta have priorities.
My number one priority is to learn
as much as I possibly can about
the things I'm interested in here
at the College of Communication.
And my second priority is
running cross country and track.
I've maintained these priorities,
school and running throughout my
time here, but this year the doors
have opened even wider to properly
pursue both and I'll show you how.
Check this out, this is Will great
name, we're out here in front of
the common building doing a shoot
for this video thumbnail.
How you doing Will?
>> I'm doing great,
happy to be here.
>> I'm making a video,
he's taking photos,
can't be better.
Thanks again Will.
>> Thank you. >> Have a good one.
Photo shoot done, nice start
to the day and now it's working out
perfectly because I have a class in
that awesome data science building,
the all-new data science building
here at BU, at 9 o'clock.
It's enough time for a bagel.
Bagel acquired,
check out this screen.
Egg and cheese on an everything,
not as good as New Jersey, but
Einstein's will do.

So this is the room my classes in.
It's on the third floor so
it's got a pretty cool view
Asik Boston view you can see some
of the city skyline right there.
Just finished class.
This is my TF Henry.
How does it feel to teach a class
in the new building?
>> It's pretty nice.
The windows are nice and big and
the technology is new.
So it's really easy and
fun to do it.
>> It's a great class.
Thanks, Henry.
Aside from cool buildings like CDS,
something that's elevated
this year's classwork is in-person
presentations.
>> We just finished our
presentation representing Ogilvy.
Good work group.
Let's go. >> Great work.
>> There was so much collaboration
with other students this year,
which I think is so valuable.
>> I took a super interesting
global health class this semester
and I was carried by a wonderful
group of teammates.
>> Hi, I'm Anya,
majoring in environmental science.
>> I'm Alex, I'm a sociology major.
>> I'm Katrina and
I'm a health science major.
>> I'm studying advertising and
film, so I thought it was super
cool how each of us brought
different skills to the table and
we ended up making a really
strong team.
And I can't forget my number one
advertising partner in crime,
the ad club president himself, Kaz.
>> I love that.
That is a really clever idea.
You hear that all the time,
just like the percentage thing.
>> Just killed our presentation.
Good stuff.
Good stuff, baby.
>> We've worked together in
multiple classes and
it's always a major success.
I'm gonna miss you next year, Kaz.
I'm studying things that interest
me, presenting work in person and
collaborating with other students.
So my academic experience this year
has been better than ever, but
what about the running?
>> [NOISE] >> This year,
BU Track returned to full force,
hosting some of the biggest track
meets in the world.
This is it here
at BU this is where you wanna be.
In addition to college athletes,
we also welcome some
legendary professional runners.
>> Yeah, thanks again for the
interview this guy's the man.
>> Thank you no doubt.
>> A world record was set at our
Valentine Invitational when 52
people broke the 4-minute mile
barrier. Foster's my suite mate,
and he was one of those 52 people.
>> It was so electric.
It was the loudest meet I've ever
been a part of and just watching
the Heats before me was so
loud in there and I was this has
to be the night I get it done.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> It's really just
a blur cuz I was just using the
crowds energy to push me forward
and it's truly just unbelievable.
>> You're unbelievable, man.
Love it, dude.
>> It's been a huge year for
our program, and personally it's
been my most involved year yet.
I dealt with injuries my first two
years of college so this was my
first full year of competing.
>> Let's go, Will.
>> It felt amazing to get back out
there and run and this aspect of my
college experience really completes
the puzzle for me.
>> Let's go, Kathan.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> This is Kathan's
last race at BU, he's a senior.
>> Let's go, Kathan, perfect, 29.
>> Go, Kathan.
>> [APPLAUSE] [INAUDIBLE]
>> Time is flying but hey,
could we complain?
Look at this place.
I didn't realize it was
open up there.
>> Plus, you want to throw
something off?
>> Guys, happy with the location
for your senior banquet?
>> I don't really think you can do
much better than this.
>> Yes, you can park right
over there.
>> Wow, we are close to Fenway.
It's a little foggy out, but
there's Fenway, Seco Sign.
I feel like this video is becoming
a promotion for
the Data Science Building.
>> I also wanted to thank my fellow
seniors for putting up with me for
the last three years.
>> Excited to see what's
gonna happen.
Thanks guys.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> That was
our end of season track banquet.
It was on the 17th floor of BU's
new data science building, so cool.
And the next day was the Scarlet
and White awards which is for
all BU athletic teams combined.
>> [NOISE] >> This is awesome.
They've got photos going on over
here, dinner all down there,
slideshow.
Axel was just on the slideshow.
Could it get any better?
[MUSIC]
>> In this video, I focused on
the two things most important to my
college experience with my academic
interests and running.
And I think it goes without saying
you've also gotta enjoy these
years, going out with friends, and
just being a college kid.
I truly feel like I found my
own best version of BU and
I can't wait to take it and run
with it this fall, my senior year.
Whoa, that's it for this one.
I'm Will Loggia.
Go check out my other videos for
more BU content.
And as always, embrace your life
stories, spread the love.
