You do BSc with vanilla ice cream

"vanilla" is a term used to describe something plain, boring, common etc, ie nothing special. Most commonly it is used to describe "vanilla sex", which implies the sex was plain and boring. It can however be applied to anything.

It comes from the fact that "vanilla" is the standard (Plain) flavour of ice cream, which people often consider "Boring".
