This past weekend was "Bahay Kubo," Barkada's first culture show since 2004. It was a huge success and all of Barkada's hard work definitely showed through our performances. It really made me proud of the executive board that I work with and the general members that stuck with us, performed, and helped put the show together. I'd also like to thank our advisor, Scott Quint, LASO, NU Bangra, and KASA for performing, and everyone who came and showed support! Thank you to all. Seeing all our friends, family, and advisors enjoying the show made all the work we put in worth while. Thanks again!

With that said, this culture show really helped me realize how getting involved on campus really enhances your college experience. I have definitely increased my leadership skills as a part of Barkada's executive board. To go along with that, you just get to meet so many people and also impact so many other students in a great way. If you have any questions about student organizations, leadership opportunities, or other ways to get involved here at NU, just leave a comment and I'll respond back.

So last week was NU's Spring Break. Lucky for me, I'm on co-op and didn't get to bask under the sun on a nice beach for a week. Sad.

Anyway, so what do co-op's do when everyone else is away you might ask. Well, it's really not that bad of a deal. The school sets up a number of activities for students on co-op. They buy group tickets to Celtics/Bruins games, have yoga classes, host dinners and a whole list of other things that students can sign up to attend. They try to help you relax and get your own mini break, even though you're working during the day.

As for me, last week was actually pretty decent. Since people were away, I was partially relieved from any eboard duties for Barkada. There were no meetings to go to, or any events to plan for. It really was somewhat relaxing since I got to go home from work and just hang out with my roommates. On Saturday, I went to a MAE concert in Cambridge at a place called Middle East with some of my friends. Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures since I was worried that my camera would get stomped on.

That's it for now. I'll try to update you on how my co-op is going on my next post. I'll try to put more pictures up too. As always, if you have any questions about NU, Boston, campus life, housing, etc... just let me know. Leave a comment and I'll definitely get back at you.

Thanks loyal readers. Peace.
