Mo State Alumni, Social Media Hit

Just because you get a degree doesn't mean you can't pursue another dream.

Mo State Alumni, Social Media Hit

In This Article:

In mid-November in Missouri, most students at Missouri State University are making their way to class bundled up and doing their best to stay as warm as possible. We are fully aware that alumni are welcome onto our campus, that is not an issue.

However, I do believe that students were not prepared to be walking to class in thirty-degree weather to pass a man in a leopard print bikini going by them on roller skates. He made his way through the Plaster Student Union and multiple locations on campus. If you were on campus on a chilly November afternoon, you more than likely passed him while he was in action.


You either hate it or support him, there's no in between. Some people just seemed confused while others got a big laugh out of what he was doing. Via snapchat, Twitter, and even Instagram, all of campus somehow knows what he is up to when he makes his way through.

I had a chance to talk to the man behind the skating idea. His name is Sean. He keeps his last name off of social media for understandable reasons. You can find him on social media as @mac.savage69.

He also has met Steve-O who has given him shoutouts and support on social media as well. Sean gets a lot of inspiration The content on his account varies in the appropriateness for the public eye.

An image that he is currently adamant about changing. He's well known on Missouri State campus as the guy with the megaphone at football games and now for wearing a leopard print bikini on a thirty-degree day.

"What made you decide to do that today? Skating around campus in a bikini."

Sean: "I just really enjoy spreading laughs around and seeing smiles on people's faces."


"What are you looking to get out of doing this for social media?"

Sean: "Well I have been trying to change up my image a little bit to do things that are more "appropriate." It's a dream of mine to make a living off of social media which has been tough considering I already have a degree which has led to negative comments from some people. But for every negative comment I get about 20 positive comments, so those people are who drive me to keep making people laugh."


"Are you looking to do anything similar to what you did today, in the future?"

Sean: "There is definitely some similar stuff coming in the future. I finally got a permanent film guy and we are hoping to be doing at least one video a week from here on out."


"I assume you wanna move to a big city and do the big time media influencing?"

Sean: "The big dream is to make it out to California, so I see Arizona as a step towards that. But I always like to keep my options open because you never know what opportunities will come knocking at your door."


"If this all doesn't work out, are you worried about your future career?"


Sean: "Not at all. I think that if all else fails then I still come out of it with a few years of experience running a large social media account, which nowadays is a full-time job. But for now, I'm gonna keep focusing on expanding my audience. I need to go at it full force if I really wanna make it happen so that's what I'm gonna do."


Missouri State has an array of unique people that have attended school here. It's safe to say that Sean is definitely making a name for himself during his life post-grad. Although his method for making a name for himself is very unconventional, sometimes you just have to do it in the biggest way possible.

You can catch him up to his antics really at any time of day and anywhere in Springfield. Just catch him on Mo State campus and in downtown Springfield. Also follow his social media accounts! I've linked his instagram in with the photo credit.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
