The resurgence of the Communication Club at USCB

​Mr. President

Over the course of the last month, myself and a few other students in the Communication Studies major at USCB have attempted to revive the Communication Club at USCB. The four of us began with a couple of meetings about what we envisioned the club's mission and functions to be. Dr. Sawyer has agreed to be our faculty sponsor and she has been helping us find our way in getting the club started again, since we are having to figure most of it out as we go along. I found myself in the role of club president when we decided to select officer positions, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the process.

Having the opportunity to head up a team with the goal of reviving an organization and then running that organization is something that I have found myself to not only be good at but also enjoy. We have now had several meetings and during each one I have been tasked with running the meeting, dictating the flow of the conversations and the direction that we are taking the club. I think the most exciting part of the opportunity to be club president is the opportunity that I have to leave a lasting legacy at USCB. This legacy hopefully will be an organization that is connected in the surrounding community, as well as bringing the students of USCB together in the context of communications, leadership, and servitude.

I am looking forward to the challenges that await next semester with continuing to head this organization. With great power comes great responsibility, or so says Uncle Ben in the Spiderman series. I believe that this is absolutely true, and what little powerIi do have over this organization I would like to use to better the student body and the relationships that the students and the community form.

Til next time.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

1. "If I'm wearing black tomorrow, it's because I'm mourning my grade."

2. "Do you want to try ordering Chinese takeout to take back to the stacks?"

3. "This final paper has me questioning if this professor just sucks or is Satan himself."

4. "Is that person over there OK? They've been sleeping for a while."

5. "Why are you online shopping?"

"I want to motivate myself to study."

"Since when do you have money to buy something anyway?"

6. "I wonder how much I could make as a stripper."

7. "There are no stress relief dogs, and I feel conned. My stress today is worse than yesterday."

8. "Rate My Professor screwed me over."

9. "I wore these clothes yesterday, and maybe even the day before, but it's fine."

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo
