Thumbs Up
Tables Outside McManus
Wish you could be in Paris in the springtime? Well, Loyola's done its best to make you feel like you're there with its newest addition, the cafe-esque, wrought iron tables outside McManus Theater. Ideal for sipping your Surfin' Joe's coffee or having a sunny lunch with friends, this is by far one of the best spots to peoplewatch on campus. And let's be real - if it's between going to class or critiquing my classmates' outfits at this peak locale, you can bet your last dollar my choice will be the latter.
Second Spring Break
God bless a religious institution. Though not as long as our normal Spring Break, Easter brings a nice period of relaxation for the home stretch. As other students at those heathen institutions suffer with class time, we seek to respect religious holidays by canceling class and going home to eat candy. Fantastic. Enjoy yourselves, guys, because it will be the home stretch when we get back.
Lack Of Embarrassment
So April Fools' went off without anything happening to us. Every year I fear the whoopie cushion during an interview or a food trap happening in my kitchen. But yay, another year it has been avoided. I will never allow April's Fools to ever take my dignity. I win one more year.
Thumbs Down
"Why I Gave" Posters
Loyola must think I'm legit bad P.R. because I am never ever asked to have my face for any damn publicity. The most recent case: the "Why I Gave" (re: senior class gift) posters that are taking over campus one by one. First of all, I don't think I'm so offensive to look at that Loyola should be so unwilling to put me on a poster; and two, I GAVE! (Admittedly, it was only $5, but I still gave nonetheless.) I'm graduating in May, and the only thing left on my bucket list is to be the face of Loyola - I feel like it's beginning to be a Make-A-Wish Foundation kind of thing.
Need For New Blood
While, and you should know this by now, I'm really unexcited to graduate (because really, who likes the prospect of having to go out into the Real World, or in my case, be a failure to launch?), I am excited for new blood. It's gotten to the point where everyone is so tired of being with the same people constantly that they are starting to drum up drama betwixt each other to make things even in the least bit exciting. I love my friends just as much as the next person, but man, oh man, do I need some new faces.
We Pity The Fools
So strangely enough, Mr. T's signature Mohawk is making a comeback on Loyola's campus. One or two is okay, but, faithful Thumbs readers, we spotted seven in one day. This overnight trend is sweeping across the campus. As we await jean vests and thick gold jewelry to pop on us, the question must be asked: What are people thinking? Only Mr. T can pull off Mr. T - remember that.
