My 5 Favorite Spots On Creighton's Campus

I've loved getting to know not only the people at Creighton, but the campus itself.

With move-in fast approaching, I'm not only looking forward to the reunion with friends but also to spend some time in my favorite spots on Creighton's campus.

So here's a quick list of those places that I spend most of my time.

1. Skutt

I think this is a given and probably top of the list for most Creighton students. If I'm bored, meeting up with a friend, working on homework, grabbing lunch or just trying to have some down time between classes there's a good chance I'll find a spot in the student center and remain there for a while.

2. "The Mall"

The walkway stretching the length of campus is always a safe bet for where to find me if it's a nice day. Towards the end of the year, I spent probably too much time avoiding responsibilities and chilling out on the mall with friends. While I can sit at a picnic table or on the lawn I really love sitting on the wall just outside Skutt. Even just walking to and from classes I'll catch myself stopping to talk with friends heading as we head to our next class.

3. Hammocks

(I particularly love the one outside of Kiewit) Mocking season is a favorite season. Again, it's an excuse to be outside. Nothing quite compares to relaxing on a hammock in the sun. I think everyone can agree it was a special day when the hammocks went back up on campus.

4. Top floor of the library

This may seem specific, but as I began spending more time in the library during the second semester I needed to find my spot. And as weird as it may seem, I have some good memories from my late nights spent there. While the library may be the best place for me to focus, sitting at the line of tables across from the staircase with some friends offers a little escape from the weight of homework that needs to get done.

5. St. John's

As a college student, I definitely get stressed. Luckily, Creighton has a good place to turn when I need to relax. It's so peaceful to sit in the church either by myself or surrounded by fellow students at Mass on Sunday nights.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
