3 Ball State research studies to read up on

7 Minnetrista events to go to this month

4Aug. 21:

4Aug. 22: Seven events, some free, will be at

First, nurses are stressed out, eating too much junk food and not sleeping enough, according to a recent study conducted by Health Science professor Jagdish Khubchandani. Out of the 120 nurses studied: 92 percent had moderate to very high stress levels, 78 percent slept less than eight hours per night and 69 percent did not exercise regularly. The lack of self-care can lead to a burn-out of nurses, which causes employers more money in the long run. Second, according to Ball State’s Center for Business and Economic Research, school corporation size impacts every aspect of a corporation’s performance except English ECA scores. More than half of all Indiana school corporations are smaller than the operating minimum, which affects students’ post-secondary education performance. Researchers suggest progress based financial incentive in relation to mergers and/ or shared services, a ‘how-to’ guide on merging and a review of policy, financial and technological barriers.

Third, one-third of parents surveyed thought their local high school would fall victim to firearm violence in the next three years. Parents cited inadequate parental monitoring/rearing practices as the most common reason for firearm violence in schools. The most effective policies for schools to lower the risk of firearm violence were concluded by parents to be installing a school alarm system and fostering a relationship with local law enforcement.

Minnetrista from now to September. On Minnetrista’s East Lawn Aug. 24 at 7 p.m., the Minnetrista Summer Stage Fest will close out the summer’s Picnic and Pops with the Muncie Symphony Orchestra for “Back to School, Indiana Style.” From 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday, local vendors sell fresh produce and plants at the outdoor Farmers Market. To honor fallen heroes, veterans and those who are currently serving in the Armed Forces, Minnetrista will display more than 1,000 American flags from Sept. 4 to 11. The flags have been sponsored by community members, and additional flags can be sponsored for $30 by visiting Minnetrista’s website. Sept. 4 is the registration deadline to participate in the two-day “Glass Workshop: Mosaic Plaque” For $40, participants can learn to grind and grout a mosaic from 6 to 9 p.m. on Sept. 6 and from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 7. On Sept.

20, there will be programs at the Oakhurst Home at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. for Senior Free-Admission day, which includes those 60 years and older. After Hours is a 21 and older event sponsored by The Star Press from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Sept. 22. The event allows visitors to enjoy drinks with friends. For updates on After Hours, follow Minnetrista on social media. At the chili canning workshop from 10 a.m. to noon on Sept. 23, participants will learn to make their own chili for just $20 under the guidance of cooking Professionals.

Ending the

coal era

Ball State bids farewell to coal era relics.

Casey Smith Daily News Editor

07 Casey Smith Daily News Editor After being rendered obsolete with the installation of the nation’s largest closed-loop geothermal energy system, two smokestacks—located at the energy heat plant on the southwestern edge of the Ball State campus—are coming down.

Workers from the St. Louisbased Gerald Chimney Company have been slowly dismantling the two smokestacks since July 26. In their prime, the west stack stood 180-feet tall while the east stack was 125-feet tall.

The removal process involves construction crews cutting a hole in the base of each stack.

Bricks are then knocked inward from the top of the stack down, and workers haul away the piled debris from the base. The removal project is expected to be completed by Aug. 26.

Before construction on Ball State’s geothermal system began in 2009, the plant burned nearly 36,000 tons of coal per year.

Drilling began for nearly 3,600 boreholes around campus for a large-scale heat pump system in 2010 before the four coal-fired boilers used to heat and cool the campus—which dated back to the 1940s—were permanently shut down in 2014.

Since then, the geothermal system has begun tapping into the Earth’s natural heat storage

capacity to both heat and cool, while the heat plant burns natural gas instead of coal to produce steam for heating and hot water.

The removal of the two exhaust stacks is symbolic of the university’s sustainability position said Jim Lowe, Ball State’s associate vice president for facilities planning and management.

The geothermal system significantly cuts down on the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, eliminating the emission of more than 75,000 tons of carbon dioxide each year.

And while the smokestack expulsion marks the final stages of the $83 million geothermal project, Lowe said the university’s decades-long sustainability efforts will continue “into the future and beyond.”

University leadership is committed to continuing to build and renovate buildings to make them more energy efficient, Lowe added, and Ball State’s Sustainability Working Group—which was established to determine the feasibility of going carbon neutral in the future—is also studying new project opportunities.

New projects are guided

by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, a rating system used to evaluate the environmental performance of a building and encourage market transformation towards sustainable design.

Other university sustainability projects completed in the last few years have focused on the installation of LED lighting systems, with a few of the bigger projects taking place in the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreational Center and Lewellen Pool.

Currently, another project is underway to replace the football stadium lighting with energysaving LEDs. Lowe said the new geothermal system and similar project initiatives also have a focused effort to weave sustainability into courses taught at the university. With classes routinely taking tours of the geothermal system to learn more about how it works, the goal is that more students will be more aware of green energy possibilities.

“Ball State graduates at some time, in any career, can support efforts towards bettering the environment,” Lowe said.

The geothermal system saves the university more than $2 million annually on energy costs, and it’s also reaped benefits for the local economy. The project created 2,300 direct and indirect jobs for many contractors who were Indiana natives, and the system was constructed with American-made products.

Even as the university continues to expand spatially, Lowe said that the current capacity of the geothermal system—based on the campus master plan—can supply the heating and cooling needs well into the future.

“One of the great attributes of the geothermal system design is

that it can be expanded to meet the needs of the campus,” Lowe said.

Building additions like the new Health Professions Building and East Mall will be connected to the geothermal system, Lowe said, continuing opportunities for more sustainable development practices to take place across the campus.

Muncie skatepark project focuses on more funds, new design Community members look forward to new ammenity at Westside Park

What does it cost: Ball State ID Card Editor’s Note: “What does it cost” is a monthly series that highlights prices of certain things on campus.

What do you use your ID for?

Ball State ID cards allow students, faculty and staff to have access to certain buildings, athletic events and meal plans. In addition, the cards are used for identification purposes to ensure a safe campus. Some businesses will give you a student discount for showing your ID.

What does it cost to replace?

The new skatepark will be located in Westside Park. A kidney bowl will one of the elements of the new park. CHRISTY WEEZER, PHOTO PROVIDED Mary Freda Assistant News Editor A kidney bowl may sound like a prop you would find in a cheap ‘80s horror movie, but for local skateboarders, it’s just another challenge in the park.

Since November 2016, members of the Muncie community have come together in support of adding a skatepark in Westside Park.

The company behind the design of the park, Hunger Skateparks, just finished a project in New Castle, Indiana. The park officially opened Aug. 12 and will serve as an example of what the Muncie Skatepark Coalition is looking to do at Westside.

“I definitely use New Castle as an example for what we want to do whenever I get the chance, and now that it’s completed, even more so, highlighting the impact of how good a skatepark is for the town,” said Benji Haecker, a member of the Muncie

Skatepark Coalition.

However, Muncie’s skatepark will not include the same features as New Castle’s.

“Whatever we did in New Castle will be very different in Muncie,” said Christy Wiesenhahn, co-owner of Hunger Skateparks.

“We want to make sure that Muncie has its separate features.”

In addition to having separate features, Wiesenhahn said community feedback plays a large role in the overall design of the park.

“So after our last meeting … we got a little bit of feedback on the design that we presented, and then we just brought it back and really honed in on some elements and the street section mostly,” Wiesenhahn said.

Wiesenhahn said the skatepark will feature unique, community-inspired pieces as the project progresses.

“We’ll work on incorporating things that are important to Muncie into the park, and that might not be in the rendering right now, but it’s always in our heads and it should be in the

community’s heads,” Wiesenhahn said. “Like, how can we add Muncie to the skatepark and make it unique?”

The coalition has $50,000 in donations and is looking to raise an additional $325,000 for the completion of the skatepark. They are looking to have 75 percent of their budget raised by spring 2018. In addition to donations, the coalition is applying for grants; however, before any organization will help fund the project, they want to see an involved community.

“It’s really important to get the involvement of the community, especially the younger kids.

I know a lot of the coming-up grants, they really want to see that kids are behind the project,” Haecker said.

The project is awaiting a slated completion date. The coalition will meet with Mayor Dennis Tyler to further discuss the future of the skatepark.

With many students moving in and getting used to new schedules, campus life can get a little hectic. If you lose your ID, you can purchase a new one for $25.

How do I get a new card?

Students can pay online or in the bursar’s office in the basement of Lucina Hall. Once a payment is made, students can pick up their new ID in the ID card office located in Bracken Library Rooms 311 and 312.

What should I bring?

A valid form of identification is required when the ID card is picked up.

Can I have more than one ID?

Students, faculty and staff are allowed only one Ball State ID at a time.

MORE INFORMATION Location: Bracken Library is located in the middle of McKinley Ave. The ID office is on the third floor.

Alumnus directs award-winning short I learned early in college that you can’t be the master of everything in life. You cannot do all of the work, you have to team yourself with specialists.”

- BENJAMIN DEWHURST, Ball State alumnus

SARGE, PHOTO PROVIDED

Film tells story of post-war trauma Brooke Kemp Daily News Features Editor With the help of several Ball State alumni and four years of writing, workshopping and entering his screenplay into festivals, alumnus Benjamin Dewhurst produced an awardwinning short film, “SARGE.” The film has won several awards, including best drama at the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and official selection at the Southwest Indiana Film Festival, the Covellite International Film Festival, the Veterans Film Festival and the 2017 Heartland Film Festival.

The story follows a World War II veteran through his daily routine while living in a nursing home. Sgt. Franklin Spencer, the main character, suffers from several illnesses such as post-traumatic stress disorder and a form of Alzheimer’s disease.

While producing the film, Dewhurst drew inspiration from his own experiences. He was raised by his grandparents, and his grandfather is a World War II veteran. Dewhurst spent a lot of time with them in the nursing home.

“Since I have an emotional connection to the story, there were moments when it was hard to work on the film,” Dewhurst said. “I would say

that especially in the writing process — I tend to get emotional when I’m writing anyway because I’m investing into the story.”

That emotional attachment only grew when Dewhurst saw pieces of his grandfather in Richard Henzel, who portrayed Sergeant Spencer.

Throughout the film, Dewhurst made several small touches to honor his grandfather, like placing his World War II photo in the background.

The idea for “SARGE” came about while Dewhurst was producing a different film with Ball State alumnus Brian Lauziere. Lauziere mentioned a short story he had been working on and Dewhurst was intrigued — he got permission to turn the short story into a screenplay.

Dewhurst first had trouble finding support for the film. But when Avant Healthcare, the company he works for, held an innovation festival, Dewhurst knew it was the opportunity he had been waiting for.

Avant specializes in medical storytelling and holds festivals as an opportunity for their staff to improve, so it didn’t take long for Dewhurst’s screenplay to get reviewed and gain approval for production.

“Because Avant was funding it for us and supporting us so much, we wanted to make sure we’re telling a medically sound story,” said Alex Faurote, Ball State alumnus and editor of “SARGE.” While filming at The Crownpointe of Carmel, a nursing home, members of the staff also reviewed the script to ensure accuracy.

After Ball State alumnus Scott Tucker reviewed

headshots and audition tapes for the cast, he sat down with Dewhurst and assistant director Glenn Pratt to review. Once callbacks were complete, Dewhurst hosted numerous rehearsals and had indepth discussions to ensure the actors had a clear vision of the characters.

“He is very good at being descriptive about what it is he is looking to see, so there wasn’t necessarily a whole lot of ‘Are we doing this right? Are we going to have to redo this?’” Ball State alumna Hannah Hodges said. “Everyone was able to be on the same page and vision.”

Dewhurst focused on the acting, saying that directors get the best results when they “bare their souls to the actors.”

“You have to be incredibly comfortable speaking in emotional language because you have to be able to convey who the characters are to [actors] and work with them to develop the character out of their own inspiration,” Dewhurst said.

When it finally came time to film, the cast and crew ran on an ambitious schedule — completing most of the filming in about five days.

With the tight schedule, Dewhurst stayed involved in many of the aspects of filming, but he had confidence in his staff using their own talents and knowledge.

“Even though every portion of the film takes a lot of input from the director, hiring talented department heads is critical because it allows you to go off to do other things,” Dewhurst said. “I learned early in college that you can’t be the master

of everything in life. You cannot do all of the work, you have to team yourself with specialists.”

Like Dewhurst, many of the crew members were involved in several aspects of the film’s production as well.

Tucker acted as both the casting director and one of the film’s associate producers. Faurote worked as editor, but he was on set every day making suggestions and taking notes of what angles or takes Dewhurst preferred so that he would have more to work with when it came time to edit.

Hodges did not hold an executive title, but she was able to do whatever job was needed on set. With the combined effort, the production of “SARGE” was able to run smoothly.

While the story is moving to Dewhurst, he doesn’t feel that it’s up to his standards. Dewhurst quietly picks apart his film every time he sees it, but hearing and watching how other people react is where he finds success.

He was truly happy with what he had done when the person he made the film for, whose name he won’t say, approached him.

“That person came to me and organically, without me saying something to them, told me how much they loved the film,” Dewhurst said.

“My mind was blown because they didn’t know that they are the person that I was thinking about while making the short film.”

Many different film festivals and opportunities are on the horizon for “SARGE” and Dewhurst hopes to continue to get feedback.

Remembering Zach Hollywood Ball State men’s basketball player dies at 19 Robby General and Colin Grylls Daily News Reporters

Ball State’s community was sent reeling after the death of men’s basketball player Zachary Hollywood.

Hollywood, 19, was found dead in the Varsity House Muncie apartments after what the Delaware County Coroner Scott Hahn said appears to be a suicide.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of Zach Hollywood,” men’s basketball head coach James Whitford said in a public statement. “Zach was a terrific young man with an incredibly bright future in front of him. His loss is a true tragedy for all those who knew and loved him.”

Hollywood was entering his second year as a

student-athlete after redshirting his first season. He majored in special education, a decision his former AAU coach Barry Bradford says made him stand out.

“That’s the kind of heart that he had,” Bradford told the Kankakee Daily Journal. “He worked with the Best Buddies program and worked with kids with special needs and he was always there for those kids. He just gave all of his heart. He was an incredibly kind-hearted, good-hearted kid.”

Ball State’s official statement described the “positive impressions” he made throughout campus during his year at the school.

“Zach has been a part of our community for the past year,” the statement read. “During his time on campus, he was a member of the men’s basketball team and made many positive impressions throughout campus. This is a tragedy. Our heartfelt condolences are with his family, friends and teammates.”

Once the news of Hollywood’s death became

public, his teammates took to social media to share their condolences.

“Not just a teammate but my best friend and my brother,” junior center Trey Moses tweeted. “I love you bro, watch over me.”

“Words can’t even explain how hurt I am to lose the teammate, a friend, and a brother!” senior guard Jeremie Tyler tweeted. “We love you Hollywood!

You will always be apart [sic] of us Zach!”

With friends, fans and even the NCAA posting about Hollywood’s death, word quickly reached Micah Bradford, a sophomore at Valparaiso and Hollywood’s former teammate at BradleyBourbonnais Community High School in Illinois.

“Well, I was walking back to my dorm from class and just about fell on the ground from my legs getting weak and I was in complete disbelief,” he said.

Though Hollywood didn’t get the chance to play in a game for Ball State, he was named secondteam all-state as a senior at Bradley-Bourbonnais

after averaging 17.5 points and 7.8 rebounds.

“Best way I can describe it is [Hollywood was] one of the best people to go to war with,” Micah Bradford said. “You just know that no matter what, he’s by your side fighting with you. [The] one person in my high school career I’ve never asked if they were ready was him, because he’s ready for a fight every time.”

Hollywood was born Feb. 7, 1998 to Scott and Susan Hollywood. Susan was described by the Kankakee Daily Journal as “her son’s biggest sports fan,” but just weeks before Zach began classes at Ball State last fall, Susan died at the age of 49.

While there is no current date set for a service as of the print of this publication, community members continue to wrap their heads around Zach Hollywood’s death.

Rise above it Season Previews

After opening the season 1-1, Ball State focuses on the goal of making it to the NCAA Tournament.

Robby General Daily News Reporter There’s one thing that the Ball State soccer team is focused on this year—making it to the NCAA Tournament.

It’s a goal that has alluded the Cardinals the previous two seasons when Ball State won back-to-back Mid-American Conference regular season championships, but have been eliminated in the first round of the MAC Championships.

It’s also the driving force behind the Cardinals’ new slogan, “rise above it,” senior midfielder/ forward Allison Abbe said.

“I know the past two seasons we’ve won the regular season, but have fell short during the [MAC] Championships,” Abbe said. “This year we’re trying to rise above what happened last year, finish strong and get first.”

This year, Ball State is off to a 1-1 start after its 2-0 homeopening victory against Fort Wayne on Friday and its 0-4 loss

against No. 18 Notre Dame on Sunday in South Bend.

The Cardinals got off to an early start against the Mastodons with goals from sophomore forward Sam Kambol and junior forward Evie Stepaniak. Through the first 57 minutes against Notre Dame the match was tied, but Ball State would end up giving up four goals en route to its first loss of the season.

Last season, the Cardinals just barely missed out on an NCAA Tournament at-large bid after finishing 51st in the RPI rankings.

Several other schools missed out on at-large bids last season as well, including five teams that ranked higher than Ball State at the end of the season.

Head coach Craig Roberts said making the NCAA Tournament is an achievable goal, and the rest of the MAC coaches seem to agree.

Ball State was picked to finish first in the MAC West Division and the conference tournament.

“I think we’ve had that target sitting on us for the past couple of

years, so I do think it shows that teams still have a level of respect for us,” senior goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel said.

While Roberts said he was “flattered” the coaches voted Ball State to finish first, as soon as the results came out, he told his team “we’ve done nothing yet.”

“We’re not interested with what people’s statements were made about us, we have to prove what we’re all about,” Roberts said about the preseason poll. “We want to push past the [MAC] Tournament and get into the NCAA’s.”

This season, Ball State will be without some of last season’s award winners like Lorina White (MAC Defensive Player of the Year), Leah Mattingly (First Team All-MAC) and Chay McNitt (Second Team All-MAC).

But last year’s team, which went 14-3-3 overall, didn’t just contain veteran talent. Senior goalkeeper duo Tristin Stuteville and Heintschel return along with several 2016 MAC All-

Freshman Team selections in midfielder Julia Elvbo, Kambol and defender Yela Ziswiler.

On top of that, the Cardinals added nine new freshmen to the program in the offseason.

Getting the younger players involved in the program has been a big preseason focus for Ball State. The best way Roberts has found to get the players and coaches together is through team bonding activities.

“Freshmen oftentimes come in sort of shy and nervous and our team bonding activities just really make us bond and get to know each other better,” Abbe said. “We’re definitely more of a family than other teams and that cohesiveness shows on the field and off.”

Sometimes those activities include days on a boat or cycling classes and other times they include a four-hour martial arts lesson, an art Roberts is wellversed in.

“I think preseason training can get very monotonous, so we

SAMANTHA BRAMMER, DN always try and make it original,” Roberts said. “It’s a fight, it’s basically about how to focus on what you’re doing, selfdiscipline, all of these things that are apparent in the game of soccer.

Soccer has a huge psychological and mental part of the game that people underestimate.”

While Ball State has continued to prove its talent against conference opponents, this

season includes a lot of Power Five competition. Outside of Notre Dame, Ball State is set to play a pair of teams who finished 2016 in the RPI top 50—TCU (43) and Baylor (68).

Up next for the Cardinals includes a trip to Cincinnati to play Xavier (1-1) on Friday and a home match against Appalachian State (0-2) on Sunday at the Briner Sports Complex.

After a 13-18 finish in 2016, the Ball State women’s volleyball team takes the court again as it travels to Bloomington to take on Indiana this Friday. It was a productive off-season for the Cardinals, who are returning 15 of their 18 players from the season before. But in many ways, head coach Kelli Miller sees potential in the team’s three newcomers.

Freshman outside hitter Kia Holder from Valparaiso, Indiana, headlines the incoming freshmen, who hope to add a spark while complementing the experience of the team’s returners.

She also impressed Miller at Saturday’s Red/White scrimmage .

“Holder was just on fire attacking out of left side; every time she hit the ball, she found a way to put it to the floor, so I thought she really stood out at the Red/White scrimmage, and she’s done a good job in the backcourt,” Miller said. “She provides a very positive presence, and I think she’s done a nice job as well.”

The vast majority of Ball State’s lineup consists of sophomores and juniors, including defensive specialist Kate Avila and outside hitter Brooklyn Goodsel, who were some of the Cardinals’ top producers in 2016.

“I think the biggest thing is that we have a different maturity—we have some experienced players coming back, and so just different intent on how we can approach practice. We

have a little bit of a higher level of intensity in practice just because those people know what to expect now,” Miller said.

As a freshman in 2016, Avila made an instant impact by leading the team in sets played with 126, while Goodsel leads returners with 346 kills in 2016.

Before the bog of the season starts up, Ball State fans had a chance to see the team at the Red/White scrimmage.

“More so than anything, [the Red/ White scrimmage] just gives you a trial run before you go out and play your real match when it means something next Friday,” Miller said. “When you have new people, there’s always going to be jitters and the more that you can just play and develop that chemistry and play in front of crowd with your

jersey on, it just allows you to feel more and more comfortable each time that you get out there.”

In the week before the season begins, the Cardinals are working on improving their passing and setting, which Miller was not impressed with over the summer in practice.

“Our passing is not up to where it needs to be,” Miller said. “I think that’s one thing we got to make sure, that we’re laying that ball in there consistently for the setter. Then I thought our setting was pretty inconsistent.”

The team’s regular season schedule runs through Nov. 11 when the Cardinals finish MAC play at Western Michigan, which caps off a three-game road stretch to conclude the season.

Football turns to youth at wide receiver Cardinals trying to replace production of top two recievers from last season with inexperienced core COLIN GRYLLS Football Reporter For the first time since 2012, Ball State football heads into the season without a proven top option in the passing game.

Last year’s leading receiver KeVonn Mabon is on the Tennessee Titans’ preseason roster and Damon Hazelton, Jr. transferred to Virginia Tech, leaving seniors Corey Lacanaria and Jordan Hogue as the most productive returning receivers.

But they both primarily played in the slot and Lacanaria had just 33 catches for 341 yards while Hogue had 20 catches for 170 yards.

Even combined, 53 catches for 511 yards is still fewer than

- ALEX BAILEY, Riley Miller’s Coach any top returning receiver since 2012.

As a result, the Cardinals receiving corps will mix in their younger players.

“We’re not necessarily changing the things we do offensively, we’re going to do what we do,” wide receivers coach Alex Bailey said. “It’s just a matter of getting those guys up to speed and getting those guys to play hard and be consistent.”

Ball State also returns Bailey said the freshmen flash their potential on junior running back James a daily basis, though it’s Gilbert, who ran for 1332 difficult to point out any yards and 12 touchdowns last year, and Hall said the player in particular.

“It’s actually very “Obviously we wanted to get more athletic in the room crucial that we block on and I think we did that.

When you have a guy like that in your room, and for him to earn that scholarship, it meant a lot to not only him but everyone on that team.”

Bailey said he expects Miller to hold onto the job.

“He’s going to play because he works extremely hard, so you’ll see him out there,” Bailey said. I know he’s going to work hard every single day and when he gets a chance to get out there I know what we’re going to get from him.”

With the inexperienced receivers, junior quarterback Riley Neal’s return from offseason shoulder surgery has been crucial. Freshman receiver Justin Hall, a 3-star recruit from Douglasville, Georgia, said Neal is playing well.

“He’s been putting balls on the money, also helping out the plays,” Hall said.

He’s really running the offense, running the show.”

Finding Beneficence

The first day of the rest of your life On my first day at Ball State University, I was alone. I didn’t know anyone. I had no lifeline, no rope to cling to. Strangers shouldered boxes as they walked by.

I stood in the center of my room. The door was propped open with a teal binder. Remnants of my preadolescent life were strewn all around the room as I waited GARRETT for the feeling of college to LOOKER hit me.

Daily News I was finally where I knew I Opinion Editor was supposed to be. My entire life was there in that room with me, past and future. I was home.

Sunlight poured through the open window behind me, filling the 192 square feet of space that felt so much bigger than it actually was. I waited for something to happen, something to mark the moment, my memory as a freshman.

The knock came from the metal frame of the open door. A small, peculiarly round head wearing an oversized Indianapolis Colts flat-bill bobbed out from what seemed to be nowhere. He was wearing glasses, looked funny, and seemed to have a sense of “I know more than you,” kind of attitude. Then he popped the question.

“What time do you shower?”

There was no pause, no time for me to gather my thoughts. In an instant, all of the nostalgia of college was blown away.

It was a question I never saw coming. He stood there with a blank stare on his face, beady eyes behind black glasses. I stuttered and shifted my weight to my other leg. How could this be a question? After all of the work, the preparation from high school, how could this be the first question I face in my “adult life”?

“What time do you shower?” he repeated himself.

It became awkward. The moment stretched out and time seemed to slow down. How long had he been standing there? Had he even said his name? God, is this my RA?!

“I, uhh, I usually shower in the morning …

But yeah, I have a few morning classes, so I guess in the mornings usually, but I guess it varies sometimes …” I stumbled over my words.

He stood there, shook his head, scratched his chin, and said, “Sure, yeah, I guess that’s fine. I was just wondering what everyone’s schedules looked like since we’ll all be sharing a bathroom together.”

It was at this moment that I desperately tried to tune him out. But like Superman’s inability to see through lead, this floating piece of Wonder Bread was impervious to my powers. He droned on.

WELCOME Continued from Page 19

He couldn’t tell I was suffering. All I could muster with my thought process was that this guy was looking to form the League of Extraordinary Bathroom Mates.

Before I knew it, Buckwheat had shuffled along, probably on to the next poor sap down the hall, destined to be drafted into the Shower Nozzle Brigade.

Wherever he had gone, I knew one thing: I wasn’t going to be around him. That’s right, it was the first day, and I had decided to exile the very first person I ever met at college.

That moment took place two years ago. It was my grand welcoming to Ball State.

His name was Nick, and contrary to what I thought at the moment, we are now great friends.

We were neighbors that year in DeHority, and regardless of my attempts, I bumped into him a few times. I guess it was for the better that I stuck around.

He was nervous that day, just as I was. Just as you might be. It was a new world, a new set of endless opportunities. How could we have not been filled with nerves and excitement?

The fact is, I wouldn’t trade that moment for anything else. It was memorable. It stands out to me as the moment I came to college.

This place isn’t about the classes we take or the degrees we pursue. It’s about the memories we create with the people we share our lives with.

This moment isn’t only for freshmen. It is a moment for all of us, even the studious individuals who are returning for their fifth, sixth, or maybe even their ninth year.

It’s your life. Make the most of it.

Remember the insane, crazy moments that fill our years at Ball State.

Take advantage of all there is to see and do.

Be who you are. Live boldly.

Most importantly, knock on your neighbor’s door and share your story with the world. But maybe this time, don’t ask them when they shower.
