Loyola students have gotten quite a laugh out of the @luc_geese Instagram account that posts pictures of Loyola students around campus wearing Canada Goose jackets, making light of the “rich kid”stereotypes. I got the inside scoop on the LUC Geese Instagram account from the anonymous creator themself:
Â
Â
1) What was your intent when you created the Luc_Geese account? Did you expect it to receive this much attention?
Â
“I swear there are more Canada Goose Parkas than bunnies now, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to start something. I wanted for the account to be something people look forward to, and for it to be a collective effort of the community based off students supplying the pictures. I never really expected it to take off, I thought its only follower would be me and a few friends I guilted into following it. It’s fun to see people enjoying it and sending in pictures casually from the elevator, the shuttle, etc.”
Â
2) I have only heard positive things about the luc_geese Instagram account. Do you ever get negative feedback?
Â
“Gratefully,no. I have had a person once or twice tell me that a caption could have been funnier and I’m kind of like well yeah obviously. I don’t take it to heart, though, because I know they’re probably the same people who like biosoap.”
3)  Do you wear a Canada Goose jacket? (I’m dying to know)
Â
“Yeah haha I do. I thought if I can make fun of myself, others can too. I’ve actually had pictures of me sent in before.”
Â
4) Does luc_geese have any secrets or confessions?
Â
“Not really, I’m an open book (except for the fact that I hide my identity).”
Â
Â
5) Â Do you only post submissions from other people or have you posted your own pictures too? Do you make up the captions yourself?
Â
“I took the first few pictures, but now I can’t keep up with the pictures that are sent in, so luckily I haven’t had to take any for a bit.
Â
I also write the captions myself and honestly it gets stressful. I act like I’m writing the Gettysburg Address some weeks. I do have a group of trusted friends who will proofread the captions and make me not feel like this account is another 3 credit class.”
Â
6) Â Who is the person behind the LUC Geese account?
Â
“I think the best part of the account is the fact that my followers don’t know who I am. But some hints are that I’m a sophomore, I personally know over half of my followers, so odds are you know me, and lastly I am in one of the pictures myself.”
Â
Â
Now Loyola students are able to feel a bit more connected with the witty and hilarious person behind the @LUC_Geese Instagram account that we have all gotten a laugh out of. We appreciate you, @LUC_Geese!
