Listen to It ... And Escape

This is a list of podcasts that I have been listening to for a couple of years now. They help me escape from not only my work and life stress but also my internal stress that my mind creates. You should check some of them out.

1) Critical Hit

With over 375 podcasts to date, this podcast follows the travels of Orem. This is a group of guys and gals that play Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition. It is a very fun to listen to and since I love to play Dungeons & Dragons, it is a good listen. Most episodes are around an hour and a half, with a few shorter and a few much longer, so it is a good podcast to listen to on your daily commute. This podcast is released weekly.

It is also available on iTunes.

2) We're Alive and We're Alive: Lockdown

This is an audio drama that spans a number of seasons. The premise of the audio drama is that the world has gone to hell because of a zombie apocalypse. This audio drama is very immersive and a great listen. All the voices are very distinctive, which is a plus since you never see the characters. And as a bonus, I am in the We're Alive: Lockdown. This podcast has ended, but they might have more coming up very soon.

3) Nerdist

This is a very fun podcast to listen to. It is a series of interviews with any- and everyone imaginable. The host is Chris Hardwick, who is a hilarious comedian and host of the Talking Dead show. Most episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half, so it takes almost no time in your day. They release 2-3 podcasts each week.

4) The Dice Tower

Again towards my nerdy side, I love this podcast because of its topic. The topic of board games. This is more than just Monopoly and Risk. There are hundreds of board games released each year across the world. This podcast helps me find board games that I may like or helps me by reviewing board games I have been thinking of getting. They release podcasts weekly.

5) AMusEd

This is a podcast for all of my music educator friends. This is a podcast start by 4 friends in California to talk through their first 5 years teaching. They talk about any and every topic that can appear in Music Education. It helps me with my anxiety towards teaching, since I can just listen to what they have done. They release new episodes weekly.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority

Rebekah Lee

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.
