College Admission at Loyola

I have reached my twentieth blog (not counting my miniature Autobiography), hurray! In celebration, here’s a nice picture I took of the Chicago skyline: This skyline is as lovely as the real one. Now, my brief Thanksgiving Break breakdown: Wednesday: I went to King Spa with my mom, as I said I would. While there, [...]

One week done and one week left to go before we face the unwanted, but necessary, Finals. I’ll be dividing this blog into two, one to cover this past week and some things I’ll be expecting next week, and the second to briefly write about Thanksgiving, even though it was over a week ago. The [...]

It’s that time. It sneaks up on you doesn’t it? If you remember, I reminded you about 3 weeks ago that this day would come. It’s here. The priority deadline for submitting your application to Loyola is just 1 day away on Saturday, December 1. Here is my previous post to guide you. Saturday, December [...]

Christmas On Campus! Check out our shirts! It’s crunch time for Christmas On Campus. Busy busy busy! I’ll be sure to post a detailed blog after Sunday. Have a great weekend!

My dad and I still discuss which float we like best or which Broadway singer’s lip-syncing doesn’t seem on target. We also love the marching bands. The holiday shopping season is about to commence, and houses will soon don festive lights [...]

I wrote about the Canadian Thanksgiving several weeks ago, but the American one is coming up fast now. Just yesterday, I was sitting and thinking about how Halloween was almost a month ago, Thanksgiving is in a week, and within weeks it’ll be Winter Break and the rest of the Holidays. We’ve even had our [...]

Did I get you excited? Well I should warn you that I am a big literature nerd, so I may be too excited about this. But, in my opinion at least, I got my roommate the best birthday present EVER. I found a website that lets you order your favorite books and replaces the main characters [...]

A few weeks ago, my roommate and I were just sitting in our room browsing the internet.  Twitter and Facebook immediately started exploding with the news that not only Oprah, but also Justin Bieber, were in the vicinity of only a few blocks of the downtown campus! They were at Ralph Lauren Restaurant.  We immediately [...]
