23 Things JAMM Students Know All Too Well

1. Don't piss off Vic.

2. Also don't take offense when she cusses at you.

3. Being the only students on campus who know where the Radio and TV Building is.

4. The struggle of the progression. You're screwed if you didn't declare your degree until your sophomore or junior year. Because you can't take two classes at the same time.

5. Applying everything your teacher says to your respective degree. Is he talking journalism or PR? And if you're broadcasting journalism, all of your rules are different and you are always the exception.


6. Texting in Steve Smith's classes.

7. You have done so much editing, you start correcting your texts and soon enough your thoughts to AP Style.

8. Your elective classes include titles such as "Documentary Film" and "American Television Genres."

9. Having Rus as an advisor.

10. Realizing you call all of your professors by their first names.

11. "Can you say and spell your first and last name?"

12. Having two hour writing labs.

13. Being in the same class with the same group of people. All four years.

14. You're in Society of Professional Journalists, PR Club, or Ad Team with all those same people too. Or you work for the Arg.

15. Walking to the admin. For every class. And appointment.

16. Writing made-up stories.

17. Forever telling people what JAMM stands for.

18. Julie Scott. Baddest bitch in town.

19. Forever having to shout at Becky Tallent because she can't hear you.

20. Deciding whether Justin Barnes is better at advertising or being a recreational badass.

21. Five to 10 point dock for all AP style errors.

22. Ruthless grading process.

23. And you actually have a job after college.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
