Finals are Finished!

May 10th, 2013

by Yuliya Chernyavskaya

Summer vacation is finally here, and this blog is long overdue. Finals are over, and the week was a rough one, so I’m really happy that they’re done. I had four tests and two papers due, and thankfully, the semester didn’t end poorly. On the first day of finals I had two night finals back-to-back. [...]

Onward to Senior Year!

May 7th, 2013

by Kaia Trubiano

As cliche as it sounds, I truly cannot believe how fast my college years have gone by.  It seems like just yesterday I was moving into Regis Hall and making friends who are still my close friends today.  There are so many great memories I have had these past three years, but here are a [...]

Freshman Year: Check

May 2nd, 2013

by Tanner Walters

It’s crazy, but I have two days left of my freshman year of college! It’s funny, because in high school, I always counted down, eager for the year to be over and summer to start. Now, it’s honestly more sad than happy. I’m so happy to attend a school I don’t want to leave. The [...]

ANZAC Day 2013

ANZAC Day 2013

April 29th, 2013

by Susan Moskop

April 25th, or ANZAC Day (Australian New Zealand Army Corps), is a day of big celebration here in Australia. It is a day to remember the group of armed forces from both Australia and New Zealand who served during WWI. Australian culture is particularly proud of this day– school is cancelled, businesses close early, and all [...]

On Friday, Loyola concluded its Weekend of Excellence with the annual Damen Ball, a dinner and dance that celebrates the accomplishments of students and faculty over the year.  This year, the event was held downtown at Chicago’s Adler Planetarium. The excitement for this year’s Damen Ball seemed to be at an all time high.  Tickets [...]

Political Science Lecture Series

Political Science Lecture Series

April 28th, 2013

by Catherine O'Brien

One of the greatest parts of attending a university like Loyola is the many academic opportunities offered to students.  Over the past weeks, the Political Science Department has been hosting a series of lectures on various international issues.  On Friday afternoon, I attended one of the lectures.  Bethany Barratt, a research scholar and professor from [...]

New Favorite Restaurant: Cantina Laredo

New Favorite Restaurant: Cantina Laredo

April 25th, 2013

by Kaia Trubiano

The other day, I met my friend from my hometown, who also lives in Chicago (she teaches at a Chicago Public school) at Cantina Laredo.  We had both never been there, but I suggested it because I have heard good things.  Also, I’ve passed it a few times (its right on State Street), and the [...]

Cousins in Chicago

Cousins in Chicago

April 25th, 2013

by Kaia Trubiano

Last weekend, my older cousin and her best friend visited me in Chicago!  They were my first visitors of the semester, so I was really excited to show them around the city.  They have only been here for dance competitions and other work related things (they’re dance teachers), so they were in for a big [...]

Preparing For Finals

April 23rd, 2013

by Catherine O'Brien

This week is the last week of classes before finals.  For many students, this week is just as difficult, if not more difficult, than finals themselves.  As the semester comes to a close, the last couple of weeks are almost always packed with lengthy term papers and final projects. One of the most daunting assignments [...]

The Megabus

April 22nd, 2013

by Catherine O'Brien

When you are a student from out of state, it can be expensive to go home for school breaks or weekend visits.  Plane tickets can cost hundreds of dollars, and it is not always easy having a car in the big city.  Thankfully, there are other, less expensive options for those students needing a trip [...]
