I just want to be best friends with a bunny. Is that too much to ask?

We know life at Loyola is pretty great, but we all have our pet peeves. I mean, hey, at least it's still the best school in Chicago. Being Loyola students, we all know the true “struggles” that we successfully conquer every day. Here are the 15 most common struggles we experience.

1. Waiting in the line for Mundelein:

Your choices are to show up early, show up late, or show up sweaty and panting from taking the stairs. Or all three.

2. When engrained runs out of apple chips and they offer you potato salad instead:


Acting as if a pickle or potato salad is an adequate substitute.



3. The moment you realize you have three seconds to cross Sheridan:


Because risking your life is better than waiting for that light to change. "Hit me, pay for my tuition." -- Every college student

4. When you have to walk up the stairs of Mertz in negative degree weather:

Tell me again why there aren't stairs inside?

5. When the ice cream machine at de Nobli is still broken:

Let's face it, that thing will never work for more than three weeks.

6. When the bunnies run away, but you really only just wanna be their friend:

I'll take all of them. *side note* Where do they go in the winter? I'll be happy to take them in.

7. When you see the 50th Snapchat about the lake:

Okay, we get it. We have a lake in our backyard and yes, we agree with you. It is pretty.

8. Biosoap:

Need I say more?

9. When you check in your best friend every day that the desk receptionists know their last name (shout out Taylor @San Fran):


*grabs ID even if I came downstairs to check someone else out*

10. When you pass Halas and you know you should put down the burger and fries and go workout, but let's be real, that won’t happen:


The burger is only temporary, Halas will be there forever.


11. When you just need to walk from one building to another, but the wind is so strong that your almost touching the ground with your nose:

Wind game too strong. Where's young Leo DeCaprio when I need him to hold me up? I'll be the Rose to his Jack.

12. Tour groups be like...

"And if you look to your left you can see our most common specimen... a broke, stressed-out college student."

13. When people leave their clothes in the washers for too long:

Dude, set a timer. I really don't want to take out and touch your clothes.

14. You know when a person isn't from the Midwest when they're wearing parkas in 50-degree weather:

Hun, you don't even know... it's not even winter yet... this is child's play.

15. When you finish all your finals and your friends haven't yet:

Good luck on finals everyone! Now you can take a well-deserved break for Christmas :)

    Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

    "Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

    We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

    In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

    For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

    1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

    2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

    3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

    4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

    5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

    6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

    7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

    8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

    9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

    10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
