THE PROS AND CONS OF

SWITCHING YOUR MAJOR ALLY RICHMOND • COLLEGE TIMES

P

icture this: It’s halfway through your second semester. You are sitting in a class you hate, wondering if you made the right choice. Can you really see yourself doing something like this as a career?

You decide then and there that you should switch your major. But should you really?

We talked to Grand Canyon University college advisor, Jillian Jemma, about changing your major and all the things students should take into account before making the big switch.

PROS Embrace your natural abilities “I find that sometimes students have an idea of what they should do or are expected to do by family members, but in reality they need to switch a major to embrace their natural abilities.

For example, when a student is doing engineering but doing poorly, they may need to switch to something, not easier, but something that comes naturally to them, such as computer science. They may enjoy science and math, but not the aspects of designing.”

Look at the job market “Another pro is that they have found something that would better suit the job market where they live or where they are going. Not everyone can be a journalist in a small town, but they could have a business degree to work at the local bank.”

CONS Financial issues “Sometimes when a student switches majors, they will lose credits which sets the student back at times, sometimes as much as years. If they are using financial aid, then they may lose money or cap out of financial aid. So, when I advise to students, I review everything to see how they are impacted financially and academically.”

Changing too late “It really is an issue because students will take unnecessary classes and create balances for themselves. I’ve had some students switch and they will run out of financial aid with no degree. So, I highly advise against changing if you are in your third or fourth year.”

Before you decide to change your major, take some time to evaluate the pros and cons and talk to your advisor about what might be best for you!

WHAT IS A MINOR?

S

tudents often talk about “adding a minor,” but what is a minor really?

To help you figure out what all the minor hype is about, we answer some minor-related FAQs below.

What is it?

A minor is a set of classes that complement or enhance your major. They are NOT a graduation requirement and they are usually only about five classes a piece. If you have enough room in your schedule, you may even be able to earn more than one minor.

Do I need one?

You by no means have to earn a minor in college, but it can be beneficial on applications for jobs or grad school, as it shows you have a variety of interests and can handle an additional workload.

How do I choose one?

When choosing a minor, you can do one of two things. You can either choose a minor that mirrors your major, like a business major and marketing minor, or you can choose something completely different to explore your interests further, like an engineering major and a theater minor. Either way, a minor can improve your resume and give you a chance to specialize in a certain topic or discover more about something you’re passionate about. CT

DANIELLE VERMEER

P

anielle Vermeer is a junior at ASU’s Barrett Honor’s College with a double major in sustainability and urban planning. Vermeer is an aspiring change agent at ASU and she is involved in clubs and organizations that help make the world a better place. One of her greatest opportunities has been her involvement as a Peace Corps Events and Outreach Ambassador. This position has given her the opportunity to organize a schoolwide service project to fund literacy initiatives both locally and globally. Their project has helped establish libraries in Nigeria and India and has benefited local nonprofits like Refugee Focus and A New Leaf.

Vermeer’s passion for education and literacy also inspires her to tutor on a weekly basis for Community Outreach and Advocacy for Refugees (COAR). She enjoys having the opportunity to foster relationships with the hardworking refugees in this program and help them work toward their dreams.

In order to help cultivate a community of sustainability activists on campus, Vermeer also

takes great pleasure in being the vice president of the Honors Society for Sustainability (HSS). As a leader on the executive board, she gets to plan events on important sustainability issues the world faces while also building the next generation of sustainability professionals, innovators and agents of change.

Vermeer’s involvement in ASU’s Happy Lab gives her a place to explore sustainability in relation to human happiness. Last semester, she got to participate in a research project that studied regenerative design and its ability to enhance human well-being.

Learn more about Danielle Vermeer below.

What is your favorite part about your school?

If you could only eat one thing for breakfast for the rest of your life, what would it be?

“I would absolutely eat a bagel for breakfast for the rest of my life. I adore bagels so much that I could eat one for every meal of the day!”

What’s your favorite book?

“My favorite book is How to Be Alive: A Guide to the Kind of

What annoys you the most?

“I undoubtedly cannot stand how expensive textbooks are. It frustrates me that I can end up spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars on textbooks that I only get to use for one semester.”

What is your go-to show for Netflix bingewatching?

“I like to binge-watch The Office because it is a light show that makes me laugh and helps me escape reality.”

If your life was a book, what would it be called?

“Feed Your Soul! I have learned that life is too short to settle and be comfortable; fighting for my dreams and chasing my passions is the best way to feed my soul and find my happiness.”

What’s No. 1 on your bucket list?

“I am passionate about teaching and would love to have the opportunity to teach environmental education in another country. Because I am bilingual, I want to utilize my Spanish skills to teach in Latin America one day and inspire a new generation of sustainability leaders.”

What college advice do you have for incoming freshmen?

“Take time to take care of yourself. College is an exciting time that is full of amazing opportunities and it is tempting to want to jump in and get involved with anything that will help you grow personally, professionally and academically. However, balance is key and it is important to make time to do something that makes you happy every day.” CT

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | AUGUST 16, 2018

“I love the supportive and loving environment ASU’s School of Sustainability has created. I appreciate that my school not only gives me endless opportunities to grow academically, but also to build meaningful and genuine relationships with my peers and professors. I have had the honor of meeting lifelong friends at this university that help build me up, keep me rooted and fuel my passion to follow my dreams. I love that I have personal relationships with my professors and that I get the pleasure of knowing everyone in my classes.”

Happiness That Helps the World by Colin Beaven. I love this book because it was incredibly inspiring and helped me explore my purpose in life. Most importantly, this book taught me that I can change the world while finding my own happiness.”

The fast-casual health food concept, which opened in March, uses evidence-based science to craft healthy, hearty meals that are designed to meet specific dietary goals, including paleo, keto, gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian.

The menu, which was developed by nutritionist Sasha Bayat and restaurateur Fares Tarabichi, features bowls, breakfast, salads and guilt-free sweet treats. It offers a build-your-own bowl option where customers can choose from a variety of veggies, protein and sauces. If you’re feeling indecisive, pick one of Bodhi’s signature bowls. For herbivores, we recommend The Mother Earth ($8.95) — a wholesome medley of Brussels sprouts, onions, sweet potatoes,

mushrooms, red peppers and spinach nestled on a bed of cauliflower rice and quinoa and drizzled with a creamy basil dressing. For meat-eaters, go for The Gaucho ($9.45), a simple yet satisfying blend of brown rice, black beans, onion, avocado and steak, topped with a tangy chimichurri sauce.

Though it’s not on the menu, ask for The Spicy Vegan, an intricate dance of delectable flavors, including crunchy cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, garbanzo and black beans, quinoa, house-made hummus and a thick, salsa-like sauce.

The dessert menu features Greek yogurt with granola, overnight oats and an acai bowl with bananas, honey and coconut.

The Chocolate Coffee Overnight Oats is a standout on the sweets menu; this rich, cocoa-flavored dessert is crowned with chocolate chips and chia seeds, which makes for a tantalizing crunchy texture.

The Bodhi also offers a plethora of pressed juices and fresh smoothies to complement your meal or cure any ailment — try the Liquid Defense (orange, carrot and ginger) or the Hangover Fix (coconut water, orange, apple, lemon and mint). You also can’t go wrong with the lemonade, watermelon juice or green juice.

Customized meal plans are also available, featuring different foods that cater to specific parts of the body. Customers can purchase plans ranging from one to 20 days ($30$570), which include three meals per day with nutrients to nourish the heart, brain, muscles or hair, skin and nails.

The Bodhi’s mission is to enlighten its customers on the healing properties of the food they consume. In fact, the mantra “Let Food Be Thy Medicine” is emblazoned in a large, bold font above The Bodhi’s menu.

In Sanskrit, “Bodhi” means

“enlightenment” or “awakening.” And while The Bodhi’s menu certainly reflects an enlightened way of eating, that ethos is exemplified in the restaurant’s atmosphere as well.

High ceilings, wood floors and crisp, white walls create an airy ambience, while a curtain of fake greenery on one wall generates a natural aesthetic and makes a great backdrop for food photos (trust us, you’ll want to snag a few snaps of your meal).

If you’re looking for a down-to-earth establishment dedicated to making food with passion and serving it with pride — for under $10 — The Bodhi is the place to be. It’s scientifically proven.

id you know that nonprofit organizations are responsible for 325,000 jobs in Arizona, directly employing more than 167,000 paid staff as well as an additional estimated 158,000 (likely more) indirect jobs through their presence and operations?

It takes someone special to dedicate their career to this sector – someone inspired.

Here are some of the Valley’s top nonprofit executives’ tales of tapping into the industry, in their own words.

While Southeast Asia was a wonderful adventure, it was difficult to witness the poverty and poor living conditions that burdened so many lives. That was my impetus to work for a nonprofit organization: Use my skills to make a real difference in people’s lives.

As a former Girl Scout and Girl Scout leader, I knew the power of this leadership development organization for girls and couldn’t say no to joining the local council. It’s exciting to support future female leaders who will make the world a better place.”

I also grew up with a strong sense of responsibility to help those in need; whether a neighbor needed help moving something or volunteering at the local rescue mission, helping has always been a piece of who I am.

riting an essay can be a daunting task, especially for people who aren’t English or communications majors.

In the heat of trying to finish an essay the night before it’s due, students fall into the trap of writing clichés. To help all you engineers and business majors, we’ve come up with a list of essay writing clichés that you should avoid like the plague!

the impact of plastic straws on the environment?”

Try this: “The impact plastic straws have on the environment is astounding.”

2. Starting your essay with a quote Ugh. Quote introductions are pretty bad too. Don’t start essays with quotes, or even statistics for that matter. Your essay should start with your words, not someone else’s.

Example: “Maya Angelou once said, ‘If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.’”

Try this: “There are some things in life we

1. Starting your essay with a question Never start your essay with a question.

Ever. It’s WAY overdone and unoriginal.

Example: “Have you ever thought about

simply can’t change. In situations like these, the American poet Maya Angelou suggests we change our attitudes instead.”

3. Starting your essay with a definition Kill me now. Even questions and quotes are better than definition intros. Please, don’t ever submit an essay that starts with a dictionary definition. You will fail. Trust me.

Example: “Merriam Webster defines ‘courage’ as…”

Try this: “Courage is a term that is redefined as society evolves.”

4. Using too many big words Pretentious much? While it is great to show off your large vocabulary, using too many big words can take away from your main point and may lead you to make more mistakes in the long run.

Example: “It is imperative that we cogitate the providence of the ill-fated maritime turtle at the hands of the malevolent synthetic straw.”

Try this: “It is vitally important that we put thought into how plastic straws are affecting sea turtles.”

5. “It is because of this reason that...”

Using more words does not make your essay better. Being able to express your ideas with fewer words is actually more impressive. I know you’re trying to reach that word count, but trust me, your professor will notice.

Example: “Plastic bags are killing sea turtles; it is because of this reason that people need to stop littering and start using reusable bags.”

Try this: “Plastic bags are killing sea turtles.

People need to stop littering and start using reusable bags.”

6. “ _______ was the greatest lesson of all”

Nope. This phrase is used ALL THE TIME. It is boring and because it is so overused, it loses its meaning. Showing what the greatest lesson was is much more effective and creative.

Example: “My mission trip to Haiti taught me a lot, but love was the greatest lesson of all.”

Try this: “My mission trip to Haiti taught me a lot about love and how it can be seen clearly even in the midst of poverty.”

7. First, then, lastly This is especially bad when you use these phrases to start each body paragraph. It is too formulaic. You should structure your essay, but using the same, predictable paragraph or sentence structures gets boring.

Example: “First, we went to the beach. Then, we went to the store. Then, we had a picnic.

Lastly, we went home.”

Try this: “Our day trip started at the beach, but ended up taking us to the nearby shops, where we picked up food for a picnic. By the end of the day, we were tired and headed home.”

8. “In conclusion…”

Don’t start your final paragraph with this phrase. If it’s your last paragraph, it’s assumed that it’s your conclusion, so you don’t have to say it.

Example: “In conclusion, I feel that humans have a duty to protect and care for sea life.”

Try this: “I feel that humans have a duty to protect and care for sea life.”

9. Cheating on word count Does this work? Sometimes. Is it right? No. If your professor finds out you are cheating, you can get in serious trouble. It’s not worth it. Just write more. You can do it.

Example: “You know you can just type nonsense and white it out on your Word Doc to reach the word count, right?”

Try this: “No. I am an honest student and I can reach the assigned word count without cheating.”

10. Clichés There are dozens of clichéd terms that writers use way too often. Avoid them.

Example: “Well, there are plenty of fish in the sea.”

Try this: “There are plenty more people out there.” CT

PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD

14 TIPS ON STARTING CONVERSATIONS AND MAKING FRIENDS IN COLLEGE ALLY RICHMOND • COLLEGE TIMES

I

t can be hard to make friends in college.

People are busier than ever and often too stressed to strike up conversations in class. While making friends can be difficult in these circumstances, it is not impossible.

There is still hope for finding a friend (and maybe even a significant other) during your years in school. Here are some tips to help you start off the year right and get to know the people on your campus.

1. START A STUDY GROUP During the first week of class, find a few people to exchange numbers with in case someone misses a day or you want to get together and study some time. Bam! Now you have contacts and possibly future friends.

2. PLAN A GAME NIGHT Dorms are a great place to meet people.

Think about hosting a movie night or game night on your floor and see who shows up!

3. JOIN A CLUB Getting involved in a club centered on something you’re interested in is a great way to meet people with similar interests.

Whether it’s an intramural sports team or chess club, you’re sure to find people who share your interests.

4. START A CLUB If you can’t find a club you’d like to join, start one! Plan activities that will bring together other like-minded students and go from there.

5. DON’T EAT ALONE If you go to eat at the dining hall, don’t go alone! Invite people you’ve met in your classes or ask on your school’s social media platform if anyone wants to meet up and get food with you. It’s worth a shot.

9. GO TO A GAME Actually attend sporting events. Find the student section and meet others who are cheering for your school’s team as much as you are. School spirit can be a bonding force.

10. SAY “YES” MORE OFTEN If someone invites you to go do something, say yes. It’s better than sitting alone in your dorm room.

11. FIND A WORKOUT BUDDY Find someone who will go to the gym with you. Now you can get fit while also making a friend.

12. EXPLORE MORE Check out restaurants and activities off campus and take people with you. Find people who also want to check out the area and go! It’s more fun to explore with a group than to go alone.

13. HAVE SMALL TALK READY TO GO Prepare some questions or discussion points to have on hand for when you first meet people. Questions can include: “What major are you?,” “What dorm do you live in?” and “Where are you from?”

14. GO TO CAMPUS EVENTS Even if they’re lame. And invite some of your newfound acquaintances to go with you.

BRING HOME A PIECE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY

However you go about making friends, make sure to be yourself and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. CT

8. TALK TO YOUR COWORKERS If you have an on-campus job, converse with your coworkers. You can bond over your shared work experiences and you might become good friends.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR SOCIAL NETWORK WORK FOR YOU CARSON MLNARIK • COLLEGE TIMES

I

f you can tell a company why they should hire you in 240 characters or less, you might just be able to find yourself a job. Many companies have turned to social media as a means of recruiting for entry-level positions or internships, as well as a way to circumvent the LinkedIn formality and really get to know their potential employees.

You’re already on Twitter and you’ve had the same Instagram account for years — why start brand new? Even if you’re trying to keep some color in your accounts, here are a few things you can do to make your personal social media work for your professional life.

KEEP YOUR CONTENT COOL Easier said than done, but post cool content! Whether you’re on a picturesque hike or just saw an amazing film, share what you’re doing with a picture or funny caption. No employer expects you to not have a personal life. Movies, weather and funny animal pics are all easy ways to connect through your profile and take viewers beyond your resumé.

FOLLOW WHO YOU WANT TO FOLLOW YOU Look at specific national and local leaders in the job industry you want to get into and follow them on social media. Whether it’s a specific brand, a CEO, an editor or recruiting manager, establishing that connection before any kind of interview shows your loyalty and may also expose you to hiring notices or job postings that non-followers would never see.

DON’T BE AFRAID TO ENGAGE Show your potential employers you know how to use social media by actually using it. Even if it’s just notifications from your friends, reply and “like” responses to your photos and messages.

The more you make an effort to connect, the more likely people will want to keep connecting with you. The same goes for brands or employers you’d like to connect with — if they ask a question, don’t be afraid to answer!

LET THE QUIRKS OUT WHEN YOU CAN Again, no one expects you to live devoid of a personal life. As important as it is to follow industry news, share articles and participate in the larger conversation with hashtags, it’s also important that your social media reflects you. If you cross-stitch, have a crazy collection, reach a record high on an arcade game or know close-up magic, showcase your quirks in your posts. It might just be the perfect conversation starter. CT

EDWARDS’ ENTHUSIASM

PUTS ASU FOOTBALL IN UNCHARTED WATERS GRIFFIN FABITS • COLLEGE TIMES

H

erm Edwards just doesn’t see the big deal.

So, he took nine years off from coaching football. He doesn’t think it’s anything newsworthy.

“I took a sabbatical,” an enthusiastic Edwards said Monday afternoon at Sun Devil Stadium.

“You know some of those professors that work here? I’ve heard in my lifetime, they take these sabbaticals, right? And they leave for a little while to refresh themselves. And then they come back. They don’t forget how to teach. And now everyone says (to me), ‘You can’t do that!’ Why? Professors do it all the time. They teach at universities, they teach students. That’s all I am; I’m a teacher.”

Yes, in Edwards’ case, he is making a return to the classroom. His classroom will be 100-yards long and 50-yards wide after he signed a five-year contract in December to become the next head football coach at ASU. The 64-year-old Edwards has always exuded this telegenic way about him. Maybe it’s from his last gig at ESPN, where he served as an analyst on NFL Live since 2009.

Or maybe it rolls over from his eight-year career as a head coach in the National Football League. After all, he did infamously play to win the game, you know, when he coached the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs to a combined record of 5474.

But now, the spotlight has followed him to Tempe, where he’s manning a team that is projected to finish last in the South Division of the Pacific-12 Conference.

Asked if those projections can be found somewhere on a bulletin board in the ASU locker room for extra motivation, Edwards shook his head.

“If you need someone else to motivate you, you’re in trouble. You never let the perception of others become your reality. I don’t live my life that way and I know these players don’t. You just take it for what it’s worth, just kind of go, ‘OK. We’re just going to play.’”

To which caliber the Sun Devils play, just one year after finishing 7-6, remains up in the air.

Part of that falls on the shoulders of senior quarterback Manny Wilkins, who will play for his fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | AUGUST 16, 2018

PHOTOS • COURTESY ASU ATHLETICS

Herm Edwards was officially announced as ASU’s new head coach at a press conference last December.

Last year’s receivers coach Rob Likens was promoted to offensive coordinator after his predecessor Billy Napier left to be the head coach at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

Under Likens, Edwards has ensured Wilkins that nothing will change.

“First thing I talked to him about when I hired Coach Likens was that the offense was not going to change. We’re going to put a little wrinkle in it here or there, but it’s your offense. I think that gave him a relief. It’s not going to change.

“That being said,” Edwards continues, “He’s done a remarkable job at really becoming a leader that maybe four years ago, people didn’t anticipate. And good for him. You feel very comfortable when he’s your quarterback.”

Wilkins, who’s practically used to coaching changes and the shuffling of a staff these days, expressed his praise for his new head coach after a spring practice in April.

“He shoots it straight. He keeps it real. He doesn’t sugarcoat things. When he needs to critique you, he’s going to critique you and when you’re going to get praise you’re going to get praise,” he told Craig Morgan of Arizona Sports.

Though players have responded well to Edwards’ sense of urgency, there have been several comments that have really shown where the direction of the ASU football program seems to be heading.

In April, Edwards said he would cut players from the team due to lackluster effort and poor play. Last week, he took exception to a group of players who fought during practice.

“I’m just trying to make the point that we can’t function like that,” he said to Jeff Metcalfe of The Arizona Republic.

Edwards will hold his players to the standard to which his coaches held him when he was a defensive back in the NFL for nine seasons. He spent the majority of his career with the Philadelphia Eagles, most known for his game-winning Miracle at the Meadowlands play in 1978.

And if you’re Ray Anderson, the school’s athletic director and Edwards’ former agent, you couldn’t have hired anyone better to reshape the culture of the Sun Devils’ football program.

Though it’s been nine years since he last held a coaching position, Edwards has admitted in the past that there were offers on the table. But he only wanted to coach again if the fit was right.

He didn’t balk at the idea when Anderson called.

“When you meet with those two guys (Anderson and ASU President Dr. Michael Crow), you understand the type of men they are and the vision they have. It matched in line with who I am and it’s about building student-athletes so when they leave the university, they are equipped to get on with their lives. We say we have a pro-model. We’re trying to develop pro football players, but they’re student-athletes first.”

In their short time under Edwards, the Sun Devils have ignited a buzz around the college football world that has previously eluded them. Dating back to the last six seasons when Todd Graham coached them to a 46-32 record, ASU hadn’t garnered too much national attention.

But courtesy of Edwards’ ability to talk the talk, he’s put the Sun Devils in unfamiliar territory. Whether he and the Sun Devils can walk the walk will only be decided with time.

Edwards speaks like he could convince his players to run through a brick wall.

He talks about football and his return to coaching as if he himself will suit up in full pads for his inaugural game as ASU’s head coach on September 1 against the University of Texas at San Antonio.

You can only talk about it so much, though. At this juncture, Edwards is eager to go and get it.

“I’m going to enjoy it. I really am. I’m going to enjoy the competition, watching these guys play, watching my coaches coach and trying to win a football game.

That’s what it’s all about. Your instincts are your instincts, and then you go, ‘OK, let’s go.’” CT

typical tour day in the life of Bishop Briggs always starts with coffee.

“Basically, my sister and one of my best friends, who happens to be a photographer, we sit in the front end and have coffee and we talk about the world on the bus,” Briggs says over the phone from Asbury Park, New Jersey, hours before taking the stage on the fifth stop of a 35date summer tour in support of her new blues-pop album, Church of Scars, released in April on Republic Records.

After coffee on the bus, Briggs says, they “wander around a little bit” to “hopefully find a really cute coffee shop to drink more coffee.” Then she’s off to do a sound check at whatever venue she’s performing in, have a pre-show meet and greet with fans, and oh yeah – “there’s some food sprinkled in” her day, “and then the show.”

And what a show it is. Anyone who has seen the 26-year-old singer-songwriter perform live can attest to her energy and stage presence. Though she stands around 5-foot-2 and probably weighs in at 110 pounds soaking wet, Briggs has the command of a Viking Opera singer. Her set at the Innings Festival at Tempe Beach

“Well, it was the ’90s, so there was a lot of Backstreet Boys. There was a lot of Britney Spears,” she says. “But I loved Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ My go-to was ‘The Greatest Love of All’ by Whitney Houston.”

Of course she’s humble about the fact that her two favorite karaoke tunes are among the most vocally challenging songs to sing. “I didn’t do it justice,” she says. “I did a terrible job. I do a very bad rendition.”

In addition to karaoke, Briggs’ childhood was filled with household music. “I was obsessed with Motown music and I was really lucky that my parents would play it in the living room growing up,” she says. “And so it was a lot of Aretha Franklin, Etta James — just these iconic female vocalists.”

Briggs channels such icons in her songs, including “Wild Horses” and “River” from her eponymous 2016 debut album, both of which landed in the top 30 on Billboard charts.

She says her songwriting process “generally starts pretty dark, whether it’s dark chords or dark poetry,” and much of the mood throughout Church of Scars is heavy, even with the glut of soulful gospel-choir backing vocals and danceable, dubstep-like beats. But the unifying factor among the songs on the album, Briggs says, is a life lesson.

“The biggest lesson that I learned during the making of this album is that if any aspect of your life is a lie, you can’t truly be happy,” she says. “And I feel like that’s something that seems so simple, but I really learned that through the process of making this album, that you have to truly be authentic in and out and in every aspect of your life. That’s really the only way to get close to any sort of happiness.”

Though she’s only one year into her late twenties, Briggs has been making music her entire life and says she never saw herself doing anything else. For her, music is a way to not only connect with others, but also to connect more deeply with herself. “I am learning so much about myself and really feeling as though I’m fulfilling my sole purpose,” Briggs says. “I really hope I can help others feel less alone just by writing and I hope that I can start conversations about important issues. It really is so much bigger than me.”

Park in March left quite an impression on onlookers, one of whom described Briggs as having the vocals of an R&B chanteuse or gospel singer and the energy of a punk rocker.

What Briggs does not have – at least when it comes to her feelings about performing – is a nonchalant attitude. Nor does she have a single iota of rock star ego or a hair of party animal aspirations.

Regarding her regular pre-show meet and greets with fans, she says, “It’s just such a different way to connect with the people that are the reason that I even get to tour, and I get to hear what’s been happening in their lives and I have the honor of hearing what some of my songs mean to them, and then at the end of it we get a photo together, which is so great.”

She has a strict regimen for maintaining her vocal prowess. “I warm up for an hour before the show. I drink a lot of Throat Coat tea. I don’t go to loud bars or anywhere where I would be potentially threatening my voice,” Briggs says. “So it is definitely a full-time job and I do take it very seriously.”

Born Sarah McLaughlin in England to parents from Bishopbriggs, Scotland (which inspired her stage name), Briggs grew up in Asia – first in Tokyo, then Hong Kong – where she started singing karaoke at age 4.

It was a family pastime. “It was kind of the thing to do,” says Briggs, who has lived in Los Angeles for the past several years. “My whole family went (to karaoke clubs) and we sang all the time, really every weekend and every couple of days,” she says.

ROYCE BELL

A PEEK INSIDE THE PLAYLIST OF PHOENIX’S MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE

R

oyce Bell remembers exactly when he moved to Arizona, right down to the day and time.

“I moved to Arizona on October 18th, 2013 at 7:59 p.m.,” the comedian and musician says. “That’s literally when I got off the plane and went straight to Mill Avenue and partied and fell in love with Arizona… I’ll never forget it.”

Bell was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he became known for drawing crowds at the mall, barbershop and high school locker room for his comedy and singing skills. He grew up on gospel music and practiced singing and dancing by mimicking his favorite musician, Michael Jackson. He is also known for his spot-on impressions of famous figures like Barack Obama, Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart and Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Now, thousands of people tune in to watch him on MTV’s irreverent sketch comedy and improv series Wild ‘n Out with Nick Cannon. Bell has also released several mixtapes and shared the stage with superstars like Rick Ross, Trey Songz, Twista and Chris Brown.

Take a walk down memory lane with Bell below and check out the music that inspired him in his early years and continues to fuel his passion to entertain the world.

TOP 5 FAVORITE SONGS OF ALL TIME

“Remember the Time,” Michael Jackson “I have been watching Michael Jackson since I was 3 years of age in my mother’s living room. This is a song that can always be listened to because it’s about reminiscing on a past lover and the love that was shared. I love old memories that bring back good feelings. Michael Jackson is also my all-time favorite artist because of his essence as an entertainer and his messages.”

“Missing You,” Case “I started listening to Case after hearing this song as a child. This song reminds me of my hometown and Sunday

mornings before going to church. It would always play on BET’s countdown… The voice of Case is so unique; it sets a different type of deep mood. It puts me in an isolated place of thought.”

“Just a Friend,” Mario “Mario was popular as a teenager growing up listening to music. He was cool; how we perceived teenage guys should have been back in the early 2000s. It was a time when buying a CD was cool. I remember pulling up to the basketball court where all my friends were and playing this song and everybody going crazy… The song is about a girl who always wants to play the dude off as just a friend and he’s the guy who actually is interested in her the most. Girls always push the guy who’s really interested to the side. It will forever annoy me. That’s why this song can be played anytime and I enjoy it.”

“Smooth Criminal,” Michael Jackson “All-time classic, and the music video and vision of this song was so dope. I would dress like this for Halloween when growing up, multiple years (ha, ha).”

“Shawty,” Plies featuring T-Pain “Brings back memories of field trips and after-school events in middle school and high school. I would always have this song on my playlist!”

PREFERRED WAY OF LISTENING

“I love listening to music via YouTube because there’s most likely always a visual and I love seeing a song as well as hearing it. It brings a song to life.”

WE DON’T BELIEVE IN

TOTALLY ACCURATE PREDICTIONS YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TAKE WITH A GRAIN OF SALT AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20-FEBRUARY 18) Take the new semester to make more purposeful connections. Maybe it’s with a crush or a respectable professor or maybe it’s just with a mobile hot spot because the campus Wi-Fi is so bad.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19-MARCH 20) With a new start upon you, take time to reevaluate your commitments — your friends, your family, your grades, your desire to binge all of Orange Is the New Black before school starts. Some things may have to go but if you’re on season six, episode 12, don’t stop now!

however. It doesn’t take much too turn some friendly Property Brothers action into full-on Dance Moms.

LEO (JULY 23-AUGUST 22) This horoscope qualifies as a note for an excused absence from class because said Leo has been working hard and the stars say they need a break. P.S.: Let us know if this works!

VIRGO (AUGUST 23- SEPTEMBER 22) Take advantage of the semester’s start to get ahead on your grades while you can. You don’t want your GPA to put the “fall” in “fall semester,” again.

LIBRA

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 21) Adding a little bit of color to your life might be the spice you didn’t know you were looking for. Sorry, that was two metaphors in one… not quite sure what we were going for there.

TAURUS (APRIL 22-MAY 20) If you’ve been feeling like lately you’re stuck in a cycle, unable to go further on your journey, might we suggest trying Soul Cycle? It’s a lot more credible than a horoscope and there might be a Groupon.

GEMINI

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | AUGUST 16, 2018

20

(MAY 21-JUNE 21) The stars predict your sleep schedule will soon become unaligned and your metaphysical intake of caffeine will increase rapidly. Hmm… wonder why that could be?

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) You’ve got an eye for decoration and are itching to go all HGTV on your new place. Make sure to watch out for any roommates or neighbors’ toes,

(SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 22) Sometimes opportunity knocks where you least expect it… and sometimes it plays ding-dong ditch. Don’t be afraid to take your time to get to the door.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23-NOVEMBER 21) Drop your guard in a relationship, drop it at the club or drop your dough on your Amazon wishlist. Whatever you’re doing is working, Scorpio, and you deserve some recognition for that.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22-DECEMBER 21) Your social star is buzzing. If you’ve ever wanted to expand your circle or succeed in a pyramid scheme, now is the time!

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19) Romance is in the air…or is it just the smell of Raising Canes’ chicken?

Either way, make sure your wants aren’t bigger than your needs and you don’t get crispy too easily. CT
