15 Common Struggles Of A Loyola Student

I just want to be best friends with a bunny. Is that too much to ask?

We know life at Loyola is pretty great, but we all have our pet peeves. I mean, hey, at least it's still the best school in Chicago. Being Loyola students, we all know the true “struggles” that we successfully conquer every day. Here are the 15 most common struggles we experience.

1. Waiting in the line for Mundelein:

Your choices are to show up early, show up late, or show up sweaty and panting from taking the stairs. Or all three.

2. When engrained runs out of apple chips and they offer you potato salad instead:


Acting as if a pickle or potato salad is an adequate substitute.



3. The moment you realize you have three seconds to cross Sheridan:


Because risking your life is better than waiting for that light to change. "Hit me, pay for my tuition." -- Every college student

4. When you have to walk up the stairs of Mertz in negative degree weather:

Tell me again why there aren't stairs inside?

5. When the ice cream machine at de Nobli is still broken:

Let's face it, that thing will never work for more than three weeks.

6. When the bunnies run away, but you really only just wanna be their friend:

I'll take all of them. *side note* Where do they go in the winter? I'll be happy to take them in.

7. When you see the 50th Snapchat about the lake:

Okay, we get it. We have a lake in our backyard and yes, we agree with you. It is pretty.

8. Biosoap:

Need I say more?

9. When you check in your best friend every day that the desk receptionists know their last name (shout out Taylor @San Fran):


*grabs ID even if I came downstairs to check someone else out*

10. When you pass Halas and you know you should put down the burger and fries and go workout, but let's be real, that won’t happen:


The burger is only temporary, Halas will be there forever.


11. When you just need to walk from one building to another, but the wind is so strong that your almost touching the ground with your nose:

Wind game too strong. Where's young Leo DeCaprio when I need him to hold me up? I'll be the Rose to his Jack.

12. Tour groups be like...

"And if you look to your left you can see our most common specimen... a broke, stressed-out college student."

13. When people leave their clothes in the washers for too long:

Dude, set a timer. I really don't want to take out and touch your clothes.

14. You know when a person isn't from the Midwest when they're wearing parkas in 50-degree weather:

Hun, you don't even know... it's not even winter yet... this is child's play.

15. When you finish all your finals and your friends haven't yet:

Good luck on finals everyone! Now you can take a well-deserved break for Christmas :)

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

    Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

    The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

    What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

    Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

    We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
