30 Signs You're A Creighton Student

Located in the heart of Omaha, Nebraska (not a cornfield...) is the #1 U.S. News ranked Midwest Regional University. Name? Creighton University. While far too many people question what's even in Nebraska, the university is filled with elements that create it a home away from home for many others. Here's 30 signs you know you're a one-and-true Creighton Bluejay.


1. "The Mall" is not a place you shop.

2. Nor is the KFC a place where fried chicken is served (but, maybe you'll work off the fried chicken you just ate).

3. Miss Debbie. 'Nuff said.

4. There's a love-hate relationship with the dining hall food. I mean it's unlimited food (& the soft serve ice cream steals the show), but the food in general...

4. You dread the brick path walk on rainy & snowy days.

5. The anticipation you build up before you hear who the headliners are for Fallapalooza and Spring Fling is unreal.

6. There's always some event going on that involves free food.

7. Or free stuff in general.

8. You are guaranteed to see at least one person you're best friends with while walking to class.

9. Late-night cookies at Java Jay can become a real addiction.

10. You question where all the new people in the library come from during midterms and finals.

People know because they usually sit in the same general area most of the semester.

11. You quickly learned to take advantage of sleeping in as a freshman/sophomore because classes were only a 5-minute walk away.

12. You applaud anyone who has the courage to go through the "F door" on test day.

I'll say a prayer for your grade.

13. If you're in a theology class and you sneeze, you're guaranteed more than a few people saying, "bless you!"

14. When people say they haven't gone to a basketball game before you stare at them in awe.

What are you doing with your life...?

15. Shoutout to the desk receptionists who don't make you pay a fee when you get locked out of your room.

16. You get week long fall and spring breaks.

17. Plus an Easter break. Breaks on breaks on breaks.

18. You wore your lanyard and blue game day shirts as a freshman and didn't think twice about it.

Don't judge. We all had that moment once.

19. Well-dressed Wednesday [nights].

20. Christmas at Creighton is one of the most wonderful times of the year.

21. You have accumulated a large mass of free shirts in a very short amount of time.

22. You're not sure what to do with all the free stuff you just got. You just know you have it.

23. You underestimate how hot it can get walking from Harper to Rigge on a hot day.

Then you add on running late to class? Bad news...

24. Your "basic white girl dream" has come true with the addition of Starbucks to campus.

25. Sassy Seth can make any bad day slightly better.

26. You know the running jokes of Professor Stone and how (apparently) every girl seems to adore him.

27. You're impressed with the amount of people who dress up for class on a daily basis.

28. We've met once....twice? We're now best friends and I'll gladly add you to all my forms of social media.

29. "Walk signal to cross 24th Street is now on....walk signal to cross 24th Street is now on...Walk signal to cr---"

30. You know everyone on campus truly cares about you.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
