Greek of the Week: Alex Goff

Every week we choose one student in Georgia Southern's Greek community who exemplifies Greek ideals. It is important to us that we celebrate the great people that build us up, and show off their talents. This week, our Greek of the Week is Alex Goff, who is a junior member of Tau Kappa Epsilon.

Tau Kappa Epsilon embodies men of love, charity, and esteem along with supporting core values such as integrity, honesty, and patience. Every man of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity is expected to go above and beyond the expectations of our fellow brothers, and Alex Goff makes leaps and bounds to set himself apart.

Goff became involved with TKE in the spring of 2013 when a couple of friends began to revive the defunct fraternity. "I liked their vision for creating a group of men who strive for acceptance, achievement, and brotherhood and I quickly joined," Goff said.

He went on to become quite an active member in the organization. He led multiple committees in the fraternity, was an IFC delegate for spring '14, and participated as treasurer of the fraternity for a year. Goff maintained all of this while managing his school work, and also holding down a fantastic job at Orbx Simulation Systems, where he is a flight simulations developer.

Men of the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity are lead to be better men who will build a better world. This is what, in the end, also spoke to me. TKE strives to enrich the men in its bonds and hold the core values to heart. I never thought I would join a fraternity, but to see the members strive to better themselves is truly inspiring. To see Goff excel and embody the ideals we all hold is truly meaningful, and it makes the experience worthwhile for me.

So, thank you, Alex Goff, for everything you do. Here at The Odyssey, we wish you the best of luck and encourage you to keep exemplifying the Greek community's values!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
