In fall of 2022, I traveled to California for the first time to attend my cousin’s wedding; I spent the two days afterwards exploring San Francisco, which despite being a major city has beautiful parks. This is a photo I took in the Japanese Tea Garden, near the California Academy of Sciences; the entire park was the picture of transquility.

Being a campus on a busy street, BU doesn’t quite have the same space for huge trees, but they manage to have beautiful spots of nature anyways. I particularly love the pink and white blossoms othat bloom every spring. Photo Courtesy of Mia Macaluso (Business, Science & Tech Editor).
