Saint Francis University, home of the Franciscan Friars and the Red Flash. The little university located in Loretto, PA, holds a very special place in the hearts of all of the students and alumni. While each individual college or university has their own little niches, ours stands out as a whole. Here are some that I experience at least once a week.
1. Captain Crunch French Toast
You know it's going to be a great day when Armando is sizzling these little squares of deliciousness on the skillet. Nothing beats the raspberry drizzle and whipped cream on top.
2. Frankie the Friar
Any student that goes here knows Frankie a little too well. Don't stare for too long, you will experience nightmares.
But, nothing beats the old Frankie...
3. You have way too many SFU t-shirts
The best part about this university is the free t-shirts. Why spend money at the bookstore when you can go to a random event and get a free t-shirt? The sad part is, we get excited when the t-shirt isn't red.
4. The fire whistle
There's nothing better than being woken up by a nuclear bomb siren going off at 3 AM.
5. Armando/Chef Kim
These two make eating at school a little more bearable. You always have to get to Torv or Frankie's early when these two are working their magic.
6. You have class on Labor Day and MLK Day
We may have class on these holidays, but don't worry, the bookstore is closed.
7. The LPG hill
Every time I walk up this dreaded hill, I almost go into cardiac arrest. If you're not winded, then you must've trained for a triathlon.
8. Campus vehicles
Most students just walk out in front of mysterious orange vehicles saying, "Hit me! Pay for my tuition!"
9. Cup of tea
Everyone knows about this cosmic connection talk.
10. Connie
If you don't say hi to Connie on the daily, then are you even a human being?
This campus may be small, but we experience various things in a day. We may say we hate it, but we all know that this is our home, and we wouldn't want it any other way.
