Although some students are intimidated by the overwhelming number of squirrels on campus, an even more noticeable creature has recently appeared in South Bend. Students have reported seeing a white, fluffy rabbit hopping around and handing out candy to strangers.
Sophomore Jelly Bean said that she was sleeping when she heard a knock on the door in the middle of the night. She cautiously opened the door to find a smiling bunny holding a basket full of treats, including Peeps and chocolate Easter eggs.
“At first, I was so scared that I almost screamed,” Bean said. “But then I realized that he looked kind of familiar. I remembered meeting him at the mall almost ten years ago!”
It seems as if the lonely rabbit is searching for companionship, but he will only be here for a few more days. According to Bean, he will be departing campus this Saturday for a business trip.
