30 Questions I Have For Holy Cross

I've been here four years, I was bound to have some.

College Of The Holy Cross

After four years of being on this campus, I was bound to have questions. You don't have to answer, just think about them.

Consider these a parting gift:

1. Why do none of the TVs in the Loyola gym work? They're all attached to cardio machines that work...but they don't.

2. Is your housing time ACTUALLY random?

3. Did you actually screen roommates to match them up? Because mine was substance free freshman year and I wasn't...

4. Where are all the avocados on this damn campus?

5. Why can't sushi always be a swipe?

6. Why don't we have underground tunnels (or do we...)?

7. Does HC not know the meaning of "snow day"?

8. Are the stairs specially designed to injure you in the winter?

9. Why isn't the counseling center more promoted?

10. How many smart cars do we actually need?

11. How come extracurricular vans are in need of some serious TLC?

12. Why do you hate people that live off campus?

13. Why don't you send off campus non-college tenants a nice basket to apologize for their poor choice of location?

14. Why can't I take food out of Kimball?

15. Can I be hired full time as a Campion baker?

16. Can you give me a nice schematic breakdown of the meal plan?

17. Can you give me a general idea of how many credits I'm taking? I'm tired of being asked.

18. Why can't I get a guided tour of Ciampi?

19. Are the freshman and sophomore codes actually up to code?

20. Speaking of easy street dorms, why don't any of the showers have good water pressure? (except Hanselman)

21. Can we consider having a community vacuum in the dorms?

22. Can we work on the heating issue in Dinand?

23. Or the wifi. Dear god the wifi.

24. Why are the Science Cafe women often unhappy?

25. Why is CB2 incomparably better than Cool Beans?

26. When will the track team get an indoor track?

27. Why are all the school vans parked in the student lot?

28. Can it be less difficult to find a class that covers your cross-cultural requirement?

29. Where do you get all your decorative cabbages?

30 Why can't we have a grad school?

Because I never wanna leave. ❤️

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

5. Is the "S" or the "C" silent in the word "scent"?

6. Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected the expected?

7. Would Lightning McQueen buy car insurance or life insurance?

8. Who put the alphabet in alphabetical order?

9. What color are mirrors?

10. If 2 mind readers read each other's minds whose mind are they really reading?

11. Is there a synonym for "synonym"?

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?
