...Everyone has a place they love to be. Mine so happens to be Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Tuscaloosa is also called t-town which means title town. Tuscaloosa is called t-town because of the sixteen national championships the football team has won. Tuscaloosa is my favorite place to visit. Some reasons it is my favorite are the University of Alabama is there, everyone is friendly, and the weather is amazing. First and foremost, Tuscaloosa is home to the University of Alabama. The University is one of the many reasons I love it. Alabama is where I hope to go to college. The campus is absolutely beautiful and is really massive. The college has more people attending it than my hometown has living in it. Also, football in Tuscaloosa is super important...

...For my extra credit I chose to attend the Open Mic Night on campus at the Coffeehouse. The reason why I chose this instead of the Podcast was because I had never been to an Open Mic Night. I have watch many of 90’s movies with a scene that took place at one and had always wanted to check it out. To my surprise when I arrived there was mix of various ages that attended. I thought due to it being located on campus and not really in a “university” atmosphere that it would have been just St. Charles Community College students. Not so. There was a little girl who couldn’t have been more than 10 years old who sang, “Let It Go” from the movie Frozen, all the way to a sweet elderly lady who was probably in her 80’s, that recited poetry she had written....

...performing arts or the depressing effects of the atomic bomb on the youth and the country as a whole and you’d still be left with so much more to explore: calligraphy, enka, origami, clothing, social hierarchies, etc. There’s so much about the country to fall in love with. Those who have are called otaku. The term refers to those with an obsessive or above-average interest in Japanese culture but most especially in the country’s anime and manga. Naturally, those in our country, and even in our campus have fallen in love with Japan, so much so that the practice of that love has become a culture in itself, otaku culture, if you will. Students of the Ateneo are wont to talk about their favorite anime and manga and display quite prominently how they love that small island country with events, clubs, gathering places, and what have you. Otaku culture is indeed one of many modern-day cultural phenomena that has taken a firm grip on Ateneo’s campus in terms of popularity. It hasn’t always been like this however. Up until the past few years, the industry of anime and manga was only consumed by niche audience, but now, the medium is consumed by both children and adults alike. The...

...During these past two years of community college I have learned more about myself on an academic and personal level than I did in the previous four years of high school. I have become a more independent student and have focused on acquiring study skills that I did not have in high school.

...Favorite Brand MKT/421 Favorite Brand In the world of consumerism, a brand or a favorite brand is important. However, why it is so important is the key to being so successful. That brand has to speak to the consumer, reach out on an emotional level and keep the consumer coming back. “Brands deliver emotional connection to a business’ products and services. Most purchase decisions have critical emotional components” (Shoultz, 2015). For these reasons, we will discuss my favorite brand and its success, TOMS Shoe Company. TOMS TOMS Shoe Company is a unique and inspired company, founded by CEO Blake Mycoskie and what the people in the business refer to him as, Chief shoegiver. TOMS has an interesting background, and what seems like a very unlikely place to find inspiration, comes out of nowhere to create one of the most successful businesses of its kind. Mycoskie, an entrepreneur from Texas, had several startup businesses from driver’s education to a campus laundry facility. In 2002, Mycoskie and his sister were on the popular television show, The Amazing Race. On this show, Mycoskie found himself in several countries in South America, in which one he fell in love with, Argentina. It was here he discovered the inspiration for what would be the driving force for TOMS. The Idea While in Argentina, Mycoskie discovered the true reality of poverty in the small villages outside Buenos Aries. People and children so poor they could not afford shoes. Mycoskie learned that not having...

Theo is a graduate of NSU, and holds a bachelor’s degree in Communications. He’s currently enrolled at NSU in the M.A. of Media and Communications program, concentrating in university relations. Mr. Clark indicated that his favorite part of the job is being able to mentor and directly impact the lives of his work studies. He mentioned his undergraduate experience, and how important mentors were to him during this time. The least favorite aspect of the job is the lack of accountability that the work studies place on themselves, mainly when days are missed. He stated that this was his least favorite aspect because, he is so close in age to the students and disciplining them can be difficult at times. Most of Theo’s intrinsic motivation comes from having a great deal of faith in himself, and future endeavors. He...

...of waking up every birthday and finding the first clue of my sister’s annual scavenger hunt tucked beneath my pillow? How could I explain our random, self-invented words without seeming like a lunatic? How could I express the yearning I had to return to the days when Briana and I would make workout videos disguised as hip grannies, choreograph dance routines to Demi Lovato’s Get Back, belt dramatic Broadway-worthy duets, and compete in Olympic-style kayak races to Fox Island? What words could convey the nostalgia I felt for our Spy Club and the secret marble notebook we’d furtively pass back and forth, a million absurd conspiracies scrawled in our messy handwriting? But most of all: how could I express the fact that, in a tragic blur of boxes, move-in day had brought all of our sacred rituals to an end?...

Coming to college as a premed, I was not expecting to be able to take classes outside my major.

I am taking classes in subjects that really interest me such as healthcare policy, global health, Spanish, psychology, and even math. I love HumEc because it encourages me to explore my interests and integrate those interests into my future career goals. 3. Why are you interested in becoming a Human Ecology...

...I’ve been planning this trip. I couldn’t believe when I received an email from my home university, telling me that I had a vacant in the University of Richmond. Everything was really fast, I when I realized I was I the plane, alone, flying to the United States. Thousand of thoughts came to my mind… “Did I take the right decision?”, “Do I have to stay at home and start to work, as all my friends are doing?”. However, I was already in the plane, I couldn’t go back! My first stop was in Washington, where I stayed in the house of a friend of my mom. One night I went out with his son, who invited me to a bar where his friends were. When we arrived, I tried to greet their friends with a kiss in the cheek… terrible mistake! Why anybody told me that in this country, it is not use to give kisses?!?! The girl seemed to be shocked, or scared, and the rest looked at me like thinking that I was crazy! And that’s how I learnt my first lesson… you don’t have to distribute kisses all around the world! A few days later, I arrived to Richmond. I couldn’t believe when I saw this place, I felt like in a movie. The campus, with its antique buildings, full of trees and a beautiful lake, it is really different from my home University. Moreover, I knew that my whole lifestyle was going to change. In Argentina, I live with my family, and I go to the University when I have classes, and then I go back home. Living in a campus, having a roommate, eating in a Dining Hall, everything was new to me. The international...
