The Luce Bunny

A shout-out to the rabbit that consistently brightens my day.

This week, with my entire Facebook feed being bombarded with articles about a bunch of horrible things--political and otherwise--happening, I decided to log off for a bit and take a walk to clear my mind. Some self-care. To take a moment to appreciate the small things in life, the things that give me hope and consistently make my day. As I was walking on Tuesday evening, I stumbled into one of them.

The Luce Bunny.

For reference, a dormitory on the College of Wooster campus, Luce Hall, has had a small resident living outside of the hall itself since the beginning of the Winter 2016 semester. Or around then; no one is really sure. No one seems to know where it came from, whether it's wild, or a domesticated rabbit that makes a commute from its hutch to Luce Hall each night. No one knows whether it's a doe (female) or a buck (male). Heck, most of what I know about rabbits is from reading Watership Down, so I'm most certainly no expert on the subject, and I definitely couldn't tell you.

But, what I can tell you is that this rabbit consistently brightens my day, and is incredibly adorable.

I have taken pictures of this local legend, but it seems as if fate (or my horrible night-time camera) does not want me to catch a picture of the elusive bun, at least, not one that doesn't look like a piece of abstract art. So, I had to do some investigation via Google to find a similar rabbit, and found this one on Google Images.

While I often see it when it's dark outside, when I've seen it in daylight, the rabbit looks kind of like this, sans the spots on its eye. Each night, and on the rare occasion, day, this majestic little bunny is hanging out in the grass near the Scheide music building, or relaxing in front of Luce Hall. They are surprisingly calm around humans, not even moving if you are quite literally standing 3 feet away to attempt to take a picture as you wrestle with your phone's camera to capture its adorableness.

Some call them Spots. Some call them The Luce Bunny. I, personally, call them Momiji (like the Zodiac Rabbit in the manga Fruits Basket), since the first time I saw them was after I had been reading it with my friends. This rabbit may be shrouded in mystery, but, the one thing everyone knows is that, without fail, each night, the Luce Bunny will be hopping around outside of Luce Hall.

So, next time you're walking around the Wooster campus and you're having a bad day, look for the Luce Bunny. If you end up seeing them, you'll be glad you did.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
