College Admission at Loyola

Christmas break was EXTREMELY relaxing! It was so nice to take a break from the mounds of schoolwork I usually have and just enjoy the company of family and friends while eating tons of home cooked meals (my favorite part!). One of the many perks of Loyola is that they give everyone a full month [...]

When The Prestige first came out on DVD during my sophomore year in high school, I happened to be flying back from a trip to Israel. Because of this coincidence, it playing on its own channel during my 12 hour flight from Jerusalem to New York. The movie is just over two hours, and they [...]

Even though Winter Break is officially over, I clearly did not get enough sleep because at 8:00PM Monday (the first day of classes), I realized that I’d been wearing my sweater backwards all day. What a warm welcome back! Now that I am done laughing at my silliness, it’s time to get back to my [...]

While I started my Christmas by heading home with the family I quickly came back to Chicago to give my girlfriend her first “real” Christmas. To put this simply she has never had a stocking and never had that special feeling when you come out of your room to see a tree with presents. While [...]

I returned home to Cleveland, Ohio last night.  I only had three finals and three papers, so it wasn’t too bad of a finals week for me.  I’m looking forward to Christmas time, as my family goes all out for Christmas.  Check out our Christmas tree! Happy Holidays!

Yesterday, I got an e-mail telling me I had a package and needed to come to the mailroom to pick it up. Getting a package is a big deal for me, especially when no one told me to be expecting it in advance. I headed to the mailroom and got the package. Inside, was a [...]

It is that time of year. Lights fill the streets, trees are found in the windows, snow is starting to fall and it is time to take a girl on the best possible date ever. I’ve noticed that winter offers the best possible dates available. Let’s not kid ourselves, a dinner and a movie date [...]

Okay, I guess A LITTLE explanation might be needed to accompany these delicious pictures. Along with the rest of Loyola’s student population, I decided to take a quick break last night before the IC, review sessions, studying and, ultimately, finals take over my life for the next week. That’s why, when my friend, Emily, invited me to her [...]

While in high school I volunteered randomly in my community because it looked good on college applications or because people always would say, “it’s a good thing to do.” Ever since coming to Loyola though I have found myself volunteering much more for no reason other than I just want to. Why the sudden change [...]
