What's up Shouty?

Have You Heard About "Shouty"?

Two guys walked into a bar. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke right? Well, actually it is the beginning of something much more innovative, engaging, and unique.

Jonathan Hessing and Austin Schmidt, two Kennesaw State University alumni, walked into a bar to watch the Alabama vs. Auburn game (you know the one that made NCAA history?) When the climatic moment occurred, these young men had an idea.

They noticed how intense the reaction to a football game was at a bar in Kennesaw and it prompted them to wonder how much more intense it probably was in Tuscaloosa, Alabama where the historic moment occurred. What if they could capture that one of a kind atmosphere.

It turns out they could. After some in-depth research of social media platforms, sponsorships, and the help of CFO, Zunier Ukani, the app "Shouty" would be created.

According to the app's website, www.shoutyapp.com. Shouty is a mobile media app that allows its users to create events that will be streamed, under its four main categories: fashion, music, sports, and lifestyle.

When someone creates an event, that person can then choose whether to stream it publicly or privately and also filter which content will go public.

If you're less of a creator and more of a viewer, Shouty caters to you too. The mobile media app allows users to see and post all public events that have been created.

With a simple swipe of your finger across your phone screen, you can now experience that one of a kind and in the moment atmosphere that the founders were hoping to capture.

Shouty is currently in the pre-launch stage and beta testing. It is set to launch this month and will be available for both Android and iOS.

So, there ya have it. It turns out not every story that starts with "two guys walked into a bar" is a joke. Sometimes it is the creation of an app.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
