A Year in the Life of a Western Student - As Told By Loretta

This is Loretta - the ultimate spirit animal and our house pet. She feels for you, and she is going to show you all of the moods that us Mustangs experience throughout a typical year at Western! You’re not alone friends! You always have Loretta on your side.

Showing up at Saugeen-Maitland Hall on move in day

Attempting to make new friends during O-Week

When the 2nd week of classes hits and you realize that you probably won't be making it to any more 8:30am classes. Back to bed it is!

Coming home from your first dollar beers and not quite making it to your bed

Stress eating my way through midterms, and finals, and basically the whole year

Waiting in the UCC Starbucks line trying to get my PSL like...

When fall reading "break" (aka. 2 days) hits is finally upon us and you're ready to RELAX (even though you still have 2 papers to write and a midterm to study for)

Thinking about how you'd rather be anywhere else than at Weldon studying for finals

Feeling like a prisoner in your 3 hour night class

When the girl sitting next to you pulls out food during a lecture

Finding that perfect first Off-Campus house and showing it off to all your friends and family! Goodbye rez life!!!

We hope that you are able to find some comfort in knowing that Loretta shares the Western University student struggle. Now all she needs is an olive green jacket, some hunters, and a Herschel backpack!! TWINS!!!!
