It's Always A Great Day To Be A Villanova Wildcat

There is never a day when I am not ecstatic to be a part of the Nova Nation. Even when I'm drowning in the stress of college, I am always grateful to be surrounded by the wonderful community that exists here on campus. Villanova is such a special place, the students, professors and faculty are all overjoyed to be a part of this school. People constantly walk around campus with a smile on their face, there's always someone holding the door for one another, and you can't leave your dorm without someone offering a friendly "Hello." We are proud to a part of Villanova, and there isn't a single moment when I don't agree with Archie's famous words, "I just love everything about this university!" So, I've compiled here a list of all the fantastic aspects of life at Villanova, and the reasons I feel so lucky to be a Wildcat every day.

1. Seeing the St. Thomas of Villanova Church every day.


2. Walking around and relishing in the beauty of the campus.

3. Sunsets over the Quad.

4. The view of campus from the top of Dougherty Hall -- or any building, for that matter.

19. Catching the shuttle to main right as it pulls up to the bus stop.

50. Taking selfies with Father Peter.

51. The Main Line -- from the restaurants, shops and, of course, the MLBs.

53. Tips lol.

54. The fact that there are now two El Limons on Lancaster.

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?

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.
