5 Things On Villanova's Campus That Have Been Hiding Under Our Noses
Dylan Sawyer

There is so much going on here at Villanova that we just don't get the chance to appreciate the features of our campus. In this article, I'm going to wake you up the the more ~secretive~ things on campus.

1. Falvey Memorial Library

Okay I know, I know. Of course you know what the library is. Of course we know that it is a great place to check out books and chat with the amazing librarians. But... did you know that it is a great place to work and study? I KNOW RIGHT. You can go to the library, and if you look hard enough there are tables AND chairs where you can sit down with your books, notebooks, textbooks, and like, laptops I guess. Next time you are in the library to check out a book, see if you can find one of these study spaces for yourself!

2. The Courts at Donahue aka. Spit

We all know Pit right? The dining hall on main campus. What if I told you there was one on South campus as well? That's right, a whole friggin dining hall right on south. If you look in the middle of the circle of dorms, you'll see a huge building with panoramic windows. Inside there is not only a dining hall but also BATHROOMS, and a little store where you can buy things you might need like bananas.

3. Awakening aka. The Oreo

That's right, when you're walking through the middle of campus, between Daugherty, the Connelly Cenenter, and Kennedy Hall, you can see a really beautiful statue. The real name is Awakening, but people call it the Oreo... still. If you want to know why we should STOP this practice, read more here (https://www.theodysseyonline.com/stop-the-oreo-2018)

4. The Basketball Team aka... The Basketball Team

Yep. While you all have been paying attention to the intramural handball tournament or prospective club golf recruits, our Varsity basketball team has been having a pretty heated season. It's crazy how good these guys are and how little attention they get from our student body. Definitely check out a game next time you get the chance!

5. Classes

You really have to look for these but if you go walk through the halls of some of the buildings on Campus, you might see a bunch of students and one older person in there. This is a class. There are actually a ton of them. Throughout the day, I try to take part in as many as I can. I'm currently in the process of trying to witness a class in every building on campus. I've been stuck in Conn for a while now. I don't know why but I can never find a class going on in there. If you want to join me in my hunt, feel free to reach out!

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
