13 Things You'll See While People Watching

Sometimes the best people watching involves some four-legged pals.

Forever Twenty Somethings

If you've never participated in "people watching," you're seriously missing out. It's one of the few joys that you can do almost anywhere, which makes it one of the best things ever. That being said, there are always things that you can expect to see when looking out the window:

1. Someone tripping

You see it and they don't know that you saw them, which makes it infinitely funnier.

2. Someone walking to class

Depending on the time of day, they're either alert and walking quickly or slouching and slinking to class. We've all been there, but ya gotta go to class.

3. Someone walking back from class

Similar to #2, there are a ton of different emotions when coming home from class. It can range from happiness that class is over to the dread of doing homework all night.

4. People walking to the laundry room

In Seton, you have to walk to a different stairwell to do laundry (unless you're one of the lucky kids in 12 or 18). As a result, you can often see kids lugging laundry bags and baskets across the courtyard, just trying to get some clean clothes.

5. Someone with a dog

THIS IS THE BEST ONE. Dogs can instantly make you smile. Let's be real, dogs are the cutest things and there aren't enough dogs on a college campus. Therefore, when you're #blessed enough to see a puppy, it makes your entire day.

6. Someone going out

They're usually dressed up and rowdy, often standing by the road to catch an Uber to Murphy's or Power Plant.

7. Someone coming back from the bars

They look a little less (read: way less) graceful than they did when they were going out and their outfits are probably a little askew, but hey, they had fun, so good for them.

8. Couples holding hands

In our hookup culture, holding hands has become super cute. It means that the two people genuinely like each other and want to spend time together besides hooking up.

9. A lost parent

It's inevitable. Especially during family weekend, there are a lot of parents roaming campus, trying to find their son or daughter and they don't always know where to go.

10. Someone on a skateboard

Yeah, they think they look cool. And yeah, they're going to get places faster than you. But if, by chance, you see them wipe out, it can be pretty funny (as long as they're okay)

11. LoPo on duty

Loyola Police cars are pretty noticeable, so when they drive past, you know it's them.

12. Animals

Whether its some birds or perhaps a squirrel, I never fail to stare at these creatures like they're made of gold; they're just so cute, dammit.

13. Your roommate

If you happen to see your roomie, it becomes your duty to make funny faces at them, just in case they happen to look at you.

So, here's to procrastinating by looking out a window! May the odds of a dog sighting ever be in your favor.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
