College Admission at Loyola

St. Patrick’s day in Chicago is the best! At home, St. Patrick’s day comes and goes with an article of green clothing and maybe some green eggs. But in Chicago, it’s a whole different story. We celebrated it on Saturday instead of Sunday. My day started when I woke up at 7:30 am to start [...]

One of the last events for Loyola University Chicago‘s Black History Month celebrations was Ebony Ball. On Friday, Feb. 22, the Black Cultural Center hosted this formal for the first time at Regents Hall in the Lewis Towers on our campus downtown. As vice president, I had to oversee the planning and facilitate tasks to [...]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLkaEYVVkoE I am already getting close to finishing off my fifth week in the spring semester! Where has the year gone? With the organizations that I have been a part of, we have done a lot of work on Loyola University Chicago’s campus and off. In the video above, my African dance team, AfroDescent, performed [...]

It feels like forever since I’ve last seen a sunrise or a sunset. I’m either in class or somewhere indoors when the sun sets, or it’s cloudy outside, or the skyscrapers of Chicago cover the radiant sky.

New train cars have been added to the CTA. While this may just seem minute to most people I was quite thrilled to see the change.

Being the huge foodie that I am, I’m always on the hunt for those great restaurants and hole in the wall places.  The past few weeks, I’ve been to two new places that automatically made it into my top five favorite Chicago restaurants.  Although they might not be “hole in the wall” places as they [...]

Something I consider to be a HUGE perk of college is getting to meet new people from an array of places all over the world. It is so fun for me to hear different accents, learn about cultures and if the opportunity presents itself and travel home with them. This weekend I got the opportunity [...]

Throughout the travel season, I’ve noticed that quite a few students are applying to a wide array of schools. Applying to many schools can be a good way to keep your options open, but it can also be quite time consuming. I would recommend narrowing the list to save your self some time (and money if [...]

Roller blades – they are indeed an overlooked, hidden key to the city. I got this idea as I was doing one of my favorite hobbies, thrift shopping. At the very first location of the day, a little resale outlet in Lincoln Park, I found this treasure. On these adventures I usually find things like [...]

Check out my first video news package! This semester has been quite a whirlwind! From classes to work and to participating in extracurriculars, I have hardly been able to take a breather; but I know that what I have been experiencing as a junior at Loyola University Chicago will be all worth while. This semester [...]
