More Details

Sometimes the highlight of a sporting event is something other than the sport itself (and no I am not referring to the Super Bowl half-time shows). This gem is a snapshot of the Presidents Race right before the SF Giants took on the Washington Nationals today, hence George Washington running with a flag and winning. Hope all of you had a great Fourth of July as well as a relatively safe one!

So I was going to the restroom in Benson the other week, nbd. But as I start to wash my hands and look up to the mirror, I see these notes.

Oh my goodness! That put a smile on my face, as well as on the faces of the girls who also happened to be in the restroom that day. Thank you, whoever put those up! Huge reminder that you are beautiful no matter how stressful finals weeks may be for you! Girls are all on the same team - we might as well support and bring each other up!

Good luck with finals, everyone.

Stay Beautiful!

You see it all the time. Students listening to tunes on their iPods, jamming out, lip syncing, and bobbing their heads as they stroll across campus. Have you ever wondered what they’re listening to? I know I have, so I’m getting to the bottom of it. Every week, I’m going to seek out these rockers and make a playlist of their songs and provide you with the Buckin’ Beats of the week.

1. “Nonstop to Rudimental” ft. John Newman by Feel The Love Alessi Sia Jr., Civil Engineering Major
2. “The A-Team” by Ed Sheeran Samantha Peterson Jr., Marketing Major
3. “Small Town USA” by Justin Moore Camille Young Fr., Undeclared
4. “One Thing” by One Direction Hannah Borosky Fr., Communication Major
5. “We Want the Funk” by George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic Amanda Albertson Sr., Economics Major

“Small Town USA,” reminded us this week that not everyone at the University is from the big city. Many hail from a humble little town somewhere in this great country. These students come to Santa Clara for “One Thing,” “They Want the Funk.” At first things at Santa Clara may seem hectic to these students, but they are surprised when they find the transition from “Nonstop to Rudimental,” is almost seamless. Before they know it, these students find themselves on “The A-Team.” So for all you small town Santa Clara students, this week’s playlist is for you!

Keep on Groovin’

Amanda Dewey in Beijing, China

Studying abroad is common among Santa Clara juniors. Students who study abroad get a chance to experience a new culture, learn a new language, and travel to new places.

One Santa Clara student learned about an important aspect of the culture while meeting her roommate and her roommate’s mother. Amanda was on the way back from a two week trip across China with her program when she received a text from her Chinese roommate saying how much she can’t wait to meet her. Her roommate invited to her to go to dinner with her mother so they can get to know each other better. Amanda was nervous about meeting her roommate and her mother. Her roommate’s mother only knew one word of English and Amanda only knew a few phrases in Chinese.  While at dinner, Amanda was surprised by how nice they were. Her roommate’s mom even called her daughter. Amanda discovered that Chinese culture is very welcoming and that family is very important to them. This automatically made Amanda feel welcome and comfortable in China. Amanda even started to try to speak more Chinese during dinner. Even though she made a few mistakes, it made the conversation and dinner more enjoyable. It also made the relationship between Amanda and her roommate’s mother stronger.  She felt like she was a part of the family.

Lesson: Do not be afraid to put yourself out there and meet new people. The people you meet can make your abroad experience a lot more enjoyable. Also, don’t let shyness get in the way; you never know when you will meet some that will benefit your experience. In addition, do not be afraid to try and speak the language. Even if you make a few mistakes, you can learn from them and use it to improve your language skills.

California rays have been hitting especially hard this last week, and the 10-day forecast for our cozy area code just got hotter. With our open pool, endless day parties, and spring quarter ‘senioritis’ scaring fourth year undergrads out of the library - watching after the beautiful but dangerous weather has never been more important.

1. USE PROTECTION: Even walking between classes can cause unwanted heat rays to come crawling beneath sunglasses and skin. Lathering on sunscreen takes seconds, and ladies: check the makeup and moisturizers you use, many already have SPF protection. Win!
2. TIME YOURSELF: Catching some sun can always be fun, but too much exposure (yes, even with protection) can temporarily or permanently discolor skin, jumpstart your body’s natural wrinkle production, and as we all know - invite brooding skin cancer cells.
3. ACT YOUR AGE: Most people will receive the majority of their lifetime sun exposure before they turn 25. As young adults, our bodies haven’t reached our full potential, which means our skin is still susceptible to developing ‘bad habits’ from the influence of UV rays.

Get your tan on safely, SCU.
