College Admission at Loyola

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

The first weekend of Urinetown is over! It’s been another crazy week for me (as usual), and I have learned a lot. Although I have been involved in theatre for over six years, I have only ever acted in a show. Because our department likes well-rounded students, all theatre majors must complete “practicums”-hands-on classes in [...]

It is hard to believe that we have entered the spring season when temperatures remain below forty degrees in Chicago.  As less windy cities experience sunny days and warm weather, Chicago seems to be trapped in one of its notorious six month winters. Thankfully, there is hope!  Over the past couple of weeks, there have [...]

This week has been a busy one for me.  I’ve had a few tests as well as interviews for my internship placement this upcoming fall.  My favorite study spot in Rogers Park would have to be the IC (Information Commons).  How could you not feel calm and de-stressed with this view?!

While many students might be spending their Friday night doing other things, me and my group of brothers decided last night would be spent better just relaxing and playing some board games. Of course no game night is complete without Risk… I’m not allowed to play with them anymore, I am 20-0-2 (one of my [...]

Alas, spring break has come and gone, as quickly as usual. I am glad to say I had a very relaxing break back home in Cincinnati. I had not seen my family since I left at the start of the semester, so it had been almost two months since I had seen them. I was [...]

Spring Break is next week! Of course, that means that every professor in the university has decided to schedule whatever exams, papers and tests they could fit into the last few days before freedom. I conquered an Intro to Computer Science exam on Tuesday, but I might not be so lucky with my Honors Seminar [...]

This week I had my first day at a clinical site for my secondary education classes. This semester the School of Education requires me to have a total of 80 hours in a classroom. This is broken down between 35 hours for English Methods, 30 hours for two English as a Second Language (ESL) classes [...]
