Meet Campus Cutie Roommates Emily and Emily!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.

Directs since freshman year, Emily Boches and Emily DePina are this week’s Campus Cuties! This duo not only live together, but are also the best of friends. Check out everything you need to know about the “Emilys”, who I am so lucky to call suitemates!

A Little Bit More About Emily Boches:

Biggest pet peeve: When someone’s phone volume is on loud when their group text is clearly blowing up

One thing most excited about for spring semester: Hopefully being able to put my winter jacket away soon… and Marathon Monday obviously

Favorite ice cream flavor: Strawberry Oreo

Favorite BC experience: Going through the housing process for the last three years! (kidding)

Why BC? Because the campus was beautiful even when I toured in the pouring rain

Most embarrassing moment: Freshman year I fell down the stairs inside O’Neill on my way to class, I couldn’t walk for days

Fun fact: I thought that being able to flare my nostrils was a special talent until all 8 of my roommates proved me wrong last year…

Favorite TV show: Currently The Office because I just finished watching it

Favorite ice cream flavor: Strawberry because I love all things pink 

Favorite BC experience: Having dance parties with my favorite roommates, and tailgating the BC game at Gillette last fall. 

Why BC? My brother convinced me to apply because he was a Junior here at the time, so I came to visit and loved it! 

Most embarrassing moment: Last semester when I was at my pre-prac, I fainted in front of a whole class of 4th graders. Yikes, stay hydrated folks. 

Fun fact: One night freshmen year I group texted our friends and told them a desk fell on Boches and I needed help getting it off of her. Only so that one of them would come in and shut off our light since we were both already in bed. Oops. 

Favorite TV show: Such a toss up between How I Met your Mother and Parks and Rec.

Song of the moment: Red Hot Chili Peppers anything, always. 

Personal motto: *~”Live for the nights you can’t remember, with the people you’ll never forget”~*

I am a Political Science major and Women's and Gender Studies minor at Boston College. I am an RA on campus and am involved in the Student Admissions Program. Since I am from Florida, I can legitimately say that I love long walks on the beach. I also love getting lost in a world fabricated by a novel, there is honestly nothing better.
