In Christianity, the Beatitudes are the set of teachings by Jesus that begin with, “blessed are…” and appear in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Each saying is proverb-like, cryptic, precise, and yet full of meaning. Each one includes a topic that forms a major biblical theme. A friend of mine currently enrolled in Religious Quest told me about her class creating their own list of the “Beatitudes of BC.” This inspired me to consider what makes BC students feel fulfilled. Check out of my list of the “Beatitudes of BC.”
· Blessed are the BC Plexers, for there’s an open elliptical
· Blessed are the freshmen who join a club, for now they have weekend plans
· Blessed are the pre-meds in Wolfman chemistry, for they beat the curve
· Blessed are the athletes, for they get their new athletic gear to wear daily
· Blessed are the honors students, nurses, and athletes, for they’re guaranteed four years of housing
· Blessed are the freshmen, for they got an 8-man picktime
· Blessed are those who get out of class early, for there’s no line for a Hillside coffee
· Blessed are the BC breakfast-goers, for there will always be Chobani and breakfast potatoes
