This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at BC chapter.
The other day I was in line at the dining hall and the cashier told me I didn’t have enough money on my Eagle Bucks to pay for my meal. I awkwardly told her I would put back the fro-yo (that I had already taken and put sprinkles on…), when a boy behind me in line said he would pay for everything for me. It got me thinking—what were some of the things in my day to day life that I rarely noticed, but was thankful for?
