B2 Advice
Freshman Advice From an ERAU Alumni
Keenan Thungtrakul Alumni I remember coming into Embry-Riddle as a freshman, naive, scared, and shy. “How will I be able to fit in?” I asked myself after the parents said goodbye. I turned to my roommate and asked him the same question. “We will find a way,” he said. After the first three weeks or so of class, I started to sense where I might be able to get a sense of belonging here in this school for nerds. Coming in with a large number of credits, I found myself taking classes that mostly sophomores would take. While I had my share of the required engineering freshman classes (EGR 101, UNIV 101, etc.), I found myself alone a lot. The other freshmen in my class sections kept to their own predefined groups, mak- ing it harder for me to assimilate into the Embry-Riddle community. It took a whole semester for me to forge the bonds I have now with the friends in my close-knit support group. As a fellow student who has gone through the scares and the joys of freshman year, I know the
emotions and questions that you may have. My top three tips to any freshman student can be summed up in the following statements: Strike a balance between work and play. The above statement was initially given to me by my youth pastor. As a freshman, I wanted to get involved in any way, shape, or form, just to test the waters. This desire backfired since I found my schoolwork to be too much of a burden. Remember that the goal of college is to get an education while having fun. Striking a balance betweenwork and play will significantly reduce your overall stress when it comes to academics. Form support groups and find your niche. For me, I relied on religious groups on campus as well as friends back home for support. Those that practice religion can find help from others that share your beliefs. You will see that the people in these groups do care for you and will give you
support when you need it. Even if you are not religious, there are still clubs that will welcome you in. Attend the Fall Activities Fair, that is where you will find the clubs that are right for you. At first, I did not know what clubs would fit me, but after exploring the Activities Fair, I was able to find my niche on campus. Without that niche, I doubt I would have been able to have the friends I have now who are with me every step of the way.
a 4.0. If I can do it, that means you can too! I did not have to study all the time, I made sure to have fun and enjoy myself every now and then too! After graduation, Keenan began an internship with Saber Astronautics in Boulder, Colorado. The Avion Newspaper wishes the best for Keenan with his future ambitions!
Do not over-stress about being a perfectionist. Yes, I know we pay big money to come here. However, that does not mean every hour outside of class is spent either in the books or sleeping to catch up on lost Zs. Academics are important, but they should not dominate your college life. Again, there has to be a balance. Sure, you can study all the time and get that 4.0, but you will find yourself isolated. Take it from me: I got involved with three clubs in my first semester and was still able to get

Advice from a Former Freshman: 8 Things New Eagles Should Know Abigail Johnson Senior Reporter Welcome new Eagles! You are about to start the most exciting adventure of your life! I am Abby Johnson, and I am an Aerospace Engineering Student from South Carolina. Two years ago, I was where you are standing, and now I am a prospering junior who is successfully completing her major. Here are a few tips I wish I knew when I first stepped on campus. Use them wisely and good luck! Get Involved on Campus When everything is new and uncomfortable the best thing to do is to explore and get to know the people you will be spending the next couple of years with. The first few weeks of the semester are so busy with events and activities for new and former Eagles. So get out there and begin your college journey! Talk to your Professors When studies get tough, there is no one better to talk to about the subject than the person who is giving you the grade. Ask what to expect on tests and quizzes and study the examples the professors give you. More likely than not, these are similar forms of what you may see
on your final exam. Join Clubs and Organizations Learning how to apply the skills you are being taught in class is easy when you are a part of a campus club. While there are both academic and extracurricular clubs to join, job recruiters like to see a diverse resume of a student who has time for studies and fun! Plus, it is an excellent opportunity to make friends. Go to the Career Fair The Career Fair is the place where dreams come true for Riddle students, but it is not just for people looking for jobs. It is an opportunity to put yourself out there and see what the recruiters are looking for in students. Also, there is a lot of free merch, so it is worth dressing up for. Get to Class Early The first day is where first impressions are made, and it is the start of your career. On your first day in every class be sure to be respectful and attentive to your professors. After class, introduce yourself to your professor. This will help them remember your name and will also show your determination for the upcoming course material.
Find a Study Group Everyone at Embry-Riddle struggles with their studies at some point. The most popular thing students do to solve this is that they arrange study groups or study times together. Studying with your fellow classmates will keep you from excuses and will help you focus as long as you all stay on topic. Learning the material together will make it more interesting and helps you build friendships. Go to Guest Events ERAU invites a lot of off-campus sponsors and companies to come talk to Riddle students about their future careers or select topics. This includes airlines that will let you on their planes and will give you a chance to talk to the pilots. Take advantage of these opportunities because I promise no other college has anything like them. It is an amazing way to learn skills for your major and to explore the aviation industry. Remember to Have Fun! College is not only a place for learning but a place for exploring who you are as a person. While it is essential to study, over studying can damage your ability to perform well on your tests and exams. It is equally as important to take care
of yourself and to let yourself relax from time to time. Physical and mental health is critical to college performance. To do your best as a student, this means you must have fun. It is a requirement. Otherwise, what is the point? Abby will be starting her Junior year at Embry-Riddle. Other than writing and taking pictures for The Avion Newspaper, she is involved with Embry-Riddle Future Space Explorers & Developers Society (ERFSEDS) which designs, builds, and launches rockets over 10 feet tall! She is also a writer for Reinvented Magazine, a STEM magazine made by women for women.

B4 Huricane Facts
Hurricanes: A Beginner’s Guide Jaclyn Wiley Former Editor-in-Chief Florida is a great place to live, but it has some hazards. These hazards range from alligators (which will ignore you as long as you leave them alone) to extreme heat (airflow is key to keeping cool), to the elderly while driving (always be aware). The most dangerous of the Florida hazards is the hurricane. The Avion Newspaper is the dedicated to spreading information to the students of Embry-Riddle, especially information that can influence their safety. For this reason, the Avion Newspaper has partnered up with the Embry-Riddle Meteorology Department and the Department of Campus Safety and Security to provide a guide to understand what hurricanes are, how they can be dangerous, how Embry-Riddle is keeping its students and its property safe, and how you can keep safe during the storm.
during late summer. The difference in temperature causes water from the ocean to evaporate and form clouds, which eventually form into storms. Storms come together and form into systems. When the winds of a storm system reach 20 mph at the system’s center, the storm is classified as a tropical depression. These storms are not named, though they
World Meteorological Organization (WMO). There are 21 names on the list, alternating male and female in alphabetical order. The letters Q, U, X, Y, and Z are skipped, due to the lack of names starting with those letters. A storm is officially a hurricane when its winds reach 75 mph. Hurricanes are separated into one of five categories by wind speed, accord-
What is a Hurricane? For the six-month period from June 1 to November 30 every year, massive, westward-bound storm systems form from groups of thunderstorms over the north Atlantic Ocean. Some of these systems grow so large, with winds so fast, they become classified as hurricanes. A hurricane is defined by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration as, “an intense tropical weather system with a well defined circulation and maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher.“ Storm systems in the North Atlantic Ocean form due to the temperature differential between the water and the air, which is greatest

are tracked by multiple weather agencies around the world. A storm earns a name when it becomes a tropical storm; a storm system is considered a tropical storm when its winds reach 50 mph. The name is from a predetermined list of names published each year by the United Nations
ing to the Saffir-Simpson Scale. The wind speed and potential damage are directly related, as many of the dangerous phenomena that are associated with hurricanes, like storm surge and tornadoes. A hurricane is considered a major hurricane when its winds reach over 111mph, which corresponds to a Category 3 or higher hurricane. These hurricanes are the most dangerous and damaging to life and property.
Hurricane-Related Hazards Besides the high winds and levels of rainfall, hurricanes can also bring on other hazards, like storm surge, storm tide, tornadoes, rip currents, and flash floods. Storm surge occurs when the high winds of the hurricane push ocean water onto the coast, causing flooding. The larger and more intense the storm, the worse the storm surge, usually. Storm surge is the most damaging product of hurricanes, since it is so dangerous to life and property. Storm tide is the rise in water level during a tropical storm or hurricane that is caused by a combination of the natural cycle of the tides and the unnaturally high storm surge. This high tide can result in flooding, and when combined with the high winds, can result in large, highly damaging waves. These waves then batter the coastline and cause large amounts of damage. Tornadoes can also result from hurricanes, though they are usually smaller than those seen in the mid-western United States. Despite their small size, these phenomena are a significant threat to health and property. Rip currents are the result of the large waves caused by the storm. When these waves hit the coast, they cause large, dangerous currents that lead away from shore. These currents can pull even the strongest swimmers out to sea. Flash floods occur when the high levels of rainfall lead to rapid and massive increases in water level. These floods are often very destructive and deadly. Many of the deaths associated directly with hurricanes are due to drowning in flash floods, rip currents and storm surge. For more information, visit the WMO website.
The Uncertainty of Predicting the Paths of Hurricanes

This chart, based of data from the National Weather Service and the National Hurricane Center gives information about each category of tropical cyclone, including a tropical depression.
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) provides graphics to those in the danger zone for tropical storms and hurricanes, in order to convey forecast information. In order to portray the uncertainty that comes with trying to predict nature, the path of a storm is modeled by a cone. This cone does not indicate the potential size of the storm, but rather the potential error in the prediction.
