Meet the Aspiring Journalist: Caroline Linch

Welcome to the second segment of "Meet The Reporter."

Our team of writers at ASU Odyssey will be writing monthly "Meet The Reporters" as an effort to make things fun for our readers and let you get to know us!

If you've read my recent articles, you probably know that I'm from Alabama. When I tell people where I'm from, I always get the exact same reaction: "Why in the WORLD are you in Arizona?"

You wanna know the reason why I am here? Why I chose ASU over all of the glorious southern colleges?

The truth is that when I chose to go here, I honestly had no idea why. I was a lost 18 year old and had no idea what to do with her life. The only thing I DID know is that I knew I wanted to write and create and entertain. ASU was going to provide me with all of those things no matter what. I had no idea if I would fit in or how I would feel being 1800 miles away from home.

Truth be told, when I took that leap of faith, I was provided with more blessings than I could've ever imagined. I've only been here two years and I have had more opportunities here than I have in my entire life time.

And with that, all I have to say is...

Forks Up.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
