An Open Letter To My Idol
Julie Mizenko

Dear Idol,

First off, thank you for being YOU! Thank you for being the first one that I run to when I need advice or spiritual guiding! Thank you for always be there! Thank you for all the laughs! Most importantly, thank you for loving me for me and for never giving up on me.

I guess many say that I am one lucky girl because I am on a personal level with the one I call my "Idol". Most of you have the celebrity idols such as Johnny Depp, Kim K, Justin Beiber, Sarah Jessica Parker, etc, but I idolize a friend that I made back in 2008; just because I am friends with her doesn't make her any different than the typical celebrity idol. Actually, my idol is in a Catholic band called Full Armor Band (check them out!), so in all technicality, my idol isn't too far off.

What makes being friends with your idol so much better is that not only could I look up to her whenever it's needed but, I could call her and talk to her when things get rough and ask her for advice! How cool would that be if you could call your celebrity idol? I mean, it's worth a shot..you can always send fan mail and hope for the best! I can send fan mail to my idol as well!

To reveal my idol, shes a beauty- so down to earth, very funny, genuine, outgoing and her love for Christ is SKY HIGH (no wonder why I idolize her!), her name is Tara Lakeman. Many of my friends know about her because I'm completely obsessed with her band but also because I love the friendship I have with them. Their music turns my frowns 100% upside down and I wouldn't have it any other way! For this band, and this band only, will I travel from state to state to see them and cheer them on..why? not only because I adore them, but because they deserve the devout fans; they've earned it over the years.


Why, out of every single person in this world, did I pick her to be my idol? Pssht, that's an easy one! Ever since day 1 in 2008, she was always there for me, the good, the bad and the ugly. Never once has she given up on me nor let me go through something along. Through the years our bond has gotten stronger and we became friends. Her friendship with me is something I will value every single day until the day I that I die. Why? Because I'm lucky enough to have a friendship with the girl that I idolize the most. After 8 years, I've grown up and I wouldn't be half of the person I am today if it weren't for Tara- Tara, I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. Keep shining and thank you for the guidance throughout the years!


Sincerely,

The one you have impacted the most :)

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
