STUDENT LIFE 11 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT . . .

APRIL FOOL’S DAY

IT’S A DAY FOR YOUR BEST FRIEND TO BECOME YOUR WORST ENEMY THE MINUTE THEY PUT FOOD COLORING ON YOUR TOOTHBRUSH OR TIE YOUR SHOES TOGETHER TO MAKE YOU TRIP. THE ORIGIN OF APRIL FOOL’S DAY IS A BIT FOGGY BUT WE’VE GOT SOME FACTS THAT ARE SURE TO MAKE YOU LAUGH OR GET YOUR OWN IDEAS FOR HOW TO PRANK YOUR FRIENDS.

11

YOU CAN BLAME THE ENGLISH The holiday we know today was first popularized in 1700 when pranksters started the annual tradition of playing jokes on each other.

10

CHAUCER WAS A FOOL TOO “The Canterbury Tales” by Geoffrey Chaucer has the first recorded association between April 1 and foolishness.

YOU BETTER GET YOUR PRANK ON EARLY IN LONDON In the U.K., people who prank others after midday become the fool themselves.

student life

8

FRANCE HAS FISHY FOOLS In France, an April Fool’s tradition is attempting to attach a paper fish to a person’s back without them noticing. This is known as poissons d’avril.

7

APRIL GOBBY’S DAY In England, the fool could be known as “gob,” “gobby,” “noddy” or “noodle,” depending on where you’re from.

6

THE LION, THE TOWER AND THE NEWSPAPER One of the earliest known April Fool’s Day pranks was in 1698 when a London newspaper reported “several persons were sent to the Tower Ditch to see the lions washed.” The joke was that no lions were being washed in the Tower of London.

5

WATCH YOUR SCOTCH April Fool’s is celebrated over two days in Scotland. The second day is called Taily Day. What sets this day apart from the first is that tricks played on a person’s backside are particularly popular. Many believe this is where the “kick me” sign on the back originated.

4

GREAT GREGORY! The April Fool’s Day we know today began after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar—the calendar we use today—which changed when New Year’s was celebrated. Everyone who celebrated January 1 began calling people who celebrated New Year’s Day on April 1, April Fools.

Thus the holiday for tricksters was born.

ROMANS LOVE THEIR MASKS The Gregorian calendar switch isn’t the only April Fool’s Day origin story—people attribute it to ancient festivals like Hilaria, which was celebrated at the end of March in Rome and involved people dressing up in disguises.

LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF TACOS Several news organizations and businesses have played tricks on the public as early as the 1950s when the BBC leaked a story about a spaghetti harvest in Switzerland. More recently, Taco Bell announced in 1996 they had purchased the Liberty Bell and would be renaming it the “Taco Liberty Bell.”

SINGLE-HANDEDLY TRICKED A NATION Here’s one for burger lovers everywhere. In 1998, Burger King announced a new revolutionary menu item: the Left-Handed Whopper. Staying true to the classic whopper, this one had all the same ingredients rotated on the bun 180 degrees to the benefit of the 32 million left-handed Americans at the time.

LISTENING IS THE NEW WATCHING

THE BEST PODCASTS TO BINGE-LISTEN WHILE YOU’RE TRAIPSING AROUND CAMPUS JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

P

odcasts are great because you can listen to them in between classes, during your lunch break or on your commute to work. While they can’t replace videos or articles, podcasts are a great substitute for those times when you have other things to do, because all you have to do is listen. Plus, they’re free, informative and often times pretty hilarious.

Podcasts are one of the most diverse forms of media out there. Whether you’re a video game nerd, movie buff or love random chatter, there’s an episode for everyone. Now, grab your headphones and get to listening to some of the best podcasts for college students.

WAIT WAIT... DON’T TELL ME!

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

8

When you’re in the mood to test your trivia skills, tune in to NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. This quiz-filled show hosted by playwright and actor Peter Sagal takes weekly current events and turns them into hilarious quizzes. Listeners can learn something new, laugh with celebrity guests like Josh Groban and Neil deGrasse Tyson and try to figure out which crazy news story is real or fake. It’s a fun way to keep up on current events.

FREAKONOMICS

NERDIST

TED RADIO HOUR

In 2005, Journalist Stephen J. Dubner and Economist Steven Levitt got together and wrote “Freakonomics”, a book that “explores the hidden side of everything.” It went on to sell over five million copies worldwide and their second book, “SuperFreakonomics” sold seven million. Fast-forward to today and the two have created an award-winning weekly podcast about things you may have never thought about. From topics like “Who Needs Handwriting,” “The True Story of the Gender Pay Gap,” “Do Boycotts Work?” and everything in between, there’s always something new to learn with a Freakonomics show.

The Nerdist podcast allows you to embrace your inner nerd every week. Host Chris Hardwick and his friends Jonah Ray and Matt Mira talk about all things nerdy and occasionally a special celebrity guest makes an appearance.

You can learn about the first computer J.J. Abrams had as a kid, find out what the “X-Files” were like for David Duchovny or listen to Rob Lowe talk about what it was like to be an actor in the 1980s. When you’re done binge-listening the Nerdist, there are plenty of other podcasts under Nerdist Industries for your listening pleasure.

If you’ve ever taken a college class, chances are you’ve been forced to listen to a TED talk and learned that they’re actually pretty interesting. TED Radio Hour is like a TED talk in radio form. Listeners will learn about new ideas, inventions, and creations and it forces you to think about things in new ways. Topics include getting some insight about our relationship with money, contemplating life and death and learning how to find some peace and quiet in our busy, technology-filled lives.

HOW TO DO EVERYTHING Hosts Mike Danforth & Ian Chillag literally want to tell you how to do everything, with help from professionals.

Listeners send in their questions about any topic from how to enjoy the symphony, how to win the wishbone pull or how to stay awake during meetings. Nothing is off limits, and that’s why this show is so interesting and hilarious.

SERIAL This is the perfect podcast for people who love fascinating stories. Serial is hosted by former newspaper reporter Sarah Koenig. Using investigative journalism she narrates non-fiction stories and splits them up into multiple episodes. Past seasons have included the story of the 1999 murder of Hae Min Lee and the story of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, an American soldier who was held captive by the Taliban for five years. The podcast has won a Peabody award and is expected to release a season three this spring.

STUFF YOU SHOULD KNOW With over 100 million downloads on iTunes, Stuff You Should Know is one of the top podcasts to listen to if you’re curious about anything and everything. Hosts Josh Clark and Chuck Bryant are a hilarious duo that’ll teach you how everything works like reverse psychology, landfills, lefties, panic attacks, animal domestication and more.

There’s never a dull moment and there’s always something new to learn in every episode.

BEER FESTIVAL BENEFITS SUN SOUNDS OF ARIZONA

eturning to Sloan Park for its second year in a row, The Great Arizona Beer Festival is perfect for those who love craft beer and anyone else who wants to sample hundreds of offerings from local and regional brewers.

Featuring more than 200 craft, specialty and microbrewed beers from breweries around the globe, the Great Arizona Beer Festival is the largest beer festival in the Southwest, both in number of brewers attending and selection of craft beers.

The festival is also the longest-running beer festival in Arizona, celebrating its 28th year this year.

Because participating breweries generously donate the beer served, all proceeds benefit Sun Sounds of Arizona, a unique nonprofit organization that helps 50,000 Arizonans with disabilities read printed material. More than 500 volunteers read books, magazines, newspapers and even the weekly grocery ads and tabloids so that blind and print-impaired listeners in Arizona can access information. Content is available 24/7 via radio, phone, Internet and cable TV. “We offer a unique experience for craft beer fans to sample new and well-loved brews, all in one evening event. Thanks to generous brewers who donate the beer, and the work of nearly 1,000 volunteers, 100 percent of festival proceeds fund the work of Sun Sounds of Arizona and help people with disabilities get access to current media,” says Jim McMahon, GAZBF cochairman.

The festival’s Safe Ride Home program ensures opportunities for everyone to make it home safely, whether by a Discount Cab taxi, designated driver or the nearby Valley METRO Light Rail.

Ample parking is available at the park, too, for those lucky enough to have responsible DDs. All VIP and general admission includes 24 sample tickets and tasting mug.

pring and summer 2016 fashion weeks in New York, Paris and most recently in Phoenix left me inspired and motivated to switch up my style and act more bold and empowered in my apparel choices.

As I stalked my favorite fashion sites scrolling through picture after picture of different runway shows, I felt myself fantasizing of a future where I could waltz into any which store and purchase designer shoes without looking at the price tag. The truth is, though, we don’t know what the future holds, and I may never be able to purchase the Manolo Blahnik classics that I literally salivate over, or for the past few weeks, the chunky Dolce & Gabanna heels.

I’m okay with not having a boat load of money to blow, I really am, but I’m not okay with sacrificing my personal style. So being the stubborn 20-something I am, I sought a solution: I’ll make them myself… and that’s exactly what I did. And you can too!

I’m by no means a crafty person, but this DIY project is totally beginner level.

Michael’s/Other Craft Stores: Old heels Ribbon (x2) Lighter E6000 Glue Beads & Buttons (optional)

List of Materials Available at

STEP 3: Squeeze E6000 adhesive onto the ribbon, then

STEP 1: Wrap ribbon around the border of your shoe and tape it in place to ensure you like the look of it. Make sure to cut two of each ribbon piece (for the other shoe, of course!).

Once all the ribbon is secure, tape any beads, buttons or crystals you like. Take a photo then remove the materials.

STEP 2: Burn the edges of the ribbon to avoid fraying.

quickly and firmly press the ribbon onto the shoe wherever desired. I recommend applying the glue in small sections, as it dries quickly, is extremely sticky and can make a mess.

Hold each section down approximately 45 seconds.

STEP 4: Repeat step two with beads and other accessories.

Refer back to your photo to remember where each piece goes. I personally liked the look of my shoe without beads.

STEP 5: Allow the shoe to dry 24 hours before wearing, and then enjoy your masterpiece!

Good luck, and tag me on Instagram (@taylorseely) with your results!

“How do you think dating apps have changed relationships?”

“Oh man, I do not use dating apps, so I am not sure. It depends on the person and how they adapt well to relationships and talking to different people. So, I don’t think they’re harmful in any way.”

– LISA THRALL, SENIOR, ASU

“I think that dating apps have really changed the dating game in the sense that actually courting someone—if you’re going to use an old term—doesn’t really exist anymore.”

– ASIA POOL, SENIOR, ASU

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

“I think they might make relationships a little more superficial because you don’t take the time or effort to really find out about that person in the first place.”

“They’ve made it easier for people who are socially awkward. People like me aren’t good at talking to girls, so now we have dating apps … [it] takes away some of the bullshit. It’s implied that you’re interested in them because you’re on a dating site.”

ALEX WALTERS JUNIOR, ASU

ANDRES GUERRA LUZ, FRESHMAN, ASU

What word first comes to mind when you hear “Tinder?”

‘Guys,’ I guess. I would say ‘guys’ or ‘dating.’ Definitely [a] college-type atmosphere comes to mind with Tinder.

My friends back home, that don’t go to university, they don’t think it’s a thing. A lot of my friends here at college use it, especially a lot of my guy friends use it.

Have you ever joined a dating app or website? Why or why not?

Not yet. We’ll see, as of right now, no. Mostly because I just feel like I’ve been OK with meeting people. If I really wanted to go out and find somebody that I wanted to meet for dating purposes, then I have good opportunities to.

And I know enough people that if I wanted to, they could introduce me to somebody.

Do you think the effect of these technology-driven matchmaking sites is positive or negative? Why? I think it depends on who uses it and how they use them. I mean some people could use them for like casual hookups and then other people could use them because they legitimately want to go meet somebody.

What word first comes to mind when you hear “Tinder?”

When I hear ‘Tinder,’ I immediately think of ‘swipe.’

You know, swipe left or right on people.

Have you ever joined a dating app or website? Why or why not?

Nah, I don’t have a Tinder or anything like that. I don’t know. It makes me feel kind of uncomfortable. Like, the whole meeting online thing. I don’t know, I mean, I’m kind of awkward so I feel like I’d be more comfortable offline.

Do you think the effect of these technology-driven matchmaking sites is positive or negative? Why? I think it kind of depends on like how people are using it.

Like, my brother uses it and it seems like he’s doing just fine.

I don’t know, I really think it depends on the person. He’s got a couple, like Tinder and that one where it shows you people you’ve walked by. I think they’re going well for him, so I’d say for him it had a positive effect.

HOW TINDER HAS MADE DATING A SOCIAL AFFAIR

D

JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

ating as a millennial is confusing as hell. Just ten years ago, dating apps like Tinder didn’t exist and you’d have to actually go outside and interact with people to find your significant other.

Names have been changed for privacy.

the app.

“Some of the profiles are hilarious, plus there’s the opportunity to preach to someone about Donald Trump. I’m not voting for

I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT JUST CONNECTS YOU WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE AND EVEN IF YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY MEET THEM, IT IS HONESTLY NICE TO JUST TALK TO PEOPLE SOMETIMES.

it hasn’t. I can effectively arrange my dating environment because I don’t actively date outside of Tinder,” he says.

There’s also a sense of entertainment when using

him, but I am on my Tinder profile. It’s hilarious,” Travis says.

Creating a new persona on the app might be fun but it comes with a cost.

“The worst is when you

have someone who is super different in person than they are on Tinder. This doesn’t have to apply to just appearances either. I’ve seen girls with completely different personalities than I imagined from our Tinder conversation,” he says.

As a result, Travis has opted for more casual dating and less serious relationships.

“I’ll meet you for coffee so we can meet each other in a public space, but later we are gonna bang. I’m the worst.

I’ve actually kind of ‘settled down’ with someone I met on Tinder. She comes over like once a week for dinner,” he says.

According to Travis, Tinder isn’t necessarily making dating more public, but it is making it more apparent that dating is a social game.

This new model of dating is helping people find what they are looking for faster, whether that’s a life partner or a Friday night hook-up.

“It’s just gotten more obvious that dating has always been, and always will be a market discovery process. Dating culture is just going to be getting more and more honest,” he says.

Another college student, Ally, actually used Tinder for dating from the beginning, but she had a completely CONTINUES ON 18

In 2016, all you have to do is swipe left or right.

The dating culture is going through an awkward stage right now. Half of us are trying to find our soulmates while the other half of us are embracing the hook-up culture that seems to be a trend among young people at the moment.

Today, many college-aged people feel like they need to validate their relationship by making it “Facebook official” or posting pictures together on Instagram. The private details of a relationship are now being displayed for everyone who has an Internet connection to see.

Tinder might be making dating more public and social media may be the cause, but is that a good or a bad thing?

College Times talked to some Tinder users to find out how they use the app and if it’s changing their outlook on the whole dating scene.

For busy college students like Travis, Tinder has become one of his only sources of dating. While it’s nice that the app has allowed him to choose who to talk to and who to ignore, it has also made him more cynical towards a real relationship.

“My outlook on dating

has definitely soured as a result of Tinder. I’m much more pessimistic about the prospects of a relationship being successful due to the high amount of times that

different experience that would have never been possible without the app.

“My best experience was a relationship that started with someone I met on the app. He was my first love, and it didn’t work out because it was long distance. He was in Arizona training to be a pilot and once he went back to England things were difficult so it did not last. I really wish we were still together, but he is seeing someone else now. I do regret breaking up with him,” she

says.

Ally says she started using Tinder for fun, but when she got a relationship out of it, her outlook of the app completely changed. She and her boyfriend at the time lived in two completely different places, so in a way they would have never met without the help of Tinder.

“There are many people on there who do not want a relationship, but I’m not even sure I wanted one when I first used it, and I got one out

of it. I like it because it just connects you with all kinds of people and even if you do not actually meet them, it is honestly nice to just talk to people sometimes,” she says.

After a breakup from a long-term relationship, Molly says she turned to Tinder as a fun way to take her mind off of the relationship. She’s currently dating a guy she met on the app, but matching with someone on Tinder wasn’t always successful.

She’s received weird

messages from people late at night. One Tinder match told her he was just visiting the state and wanted to hang out with someone while passing through. Another guy was really nice but she says at the end of the night there just wasn’t a connection.

“I wasn’t feeling it, so I gave him a high-five and of course he ghosted me,” Molly says.

Molly doesn’t think it’s a bad thing that dating is becoming more public. In fact, she likes seeing that her friends are doing well.

“Social media in general has made dating more public.

You always see people posting pictures together and such. I mean, I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all. It’s kind of nice to see how your friends are doing and if they’re happy and with someone,” she says.

She also learned that people online are a lot more

honest about what they are looking for on Tinder. Molly had one match that told her from the beginning that he was polyamorous, and she sent a screenshot of the conversation to a friend.

“The guy had a very particular lifestyle and it was weird. I mean, not judging, but it was interesting,” she says.

The Tinder experience also helped Molly break out of her shell and she thinks it could help change the norm of dating going forward.

“I think girls are now more likely to ask guys out, message them, and be OK with hook-ups over long term relationships. It was fun going on these dates; even if I didn’t want to, I forced myself just to get the experience.”

Natalie uses the dating app, but she’s never wanted to meet people outside of the

messaging inbox of Tinder.

“I most definitely use Tinder as a source of entertainment. I really never have a desire to meet people off of the app, but seeing what guys use as pick-up lines is always a classic. And seeing if you can find people you know always makes it more enjoyable too,” Natalie says.

For Natalie, Tinder is a fun app that she doesn’t mind sharing with others. She sometimes lets her friends choose her matches for her.

“Most of the time I like to share what people have as their bios with my friends so we can laugh together.

Certain ones I will show profiles to and let them pick, other friends do not even know I use Tinder,” she says.

Our generation seems to crave attention on social media platforms, and Tinder

is no exception.

“I really think girls tend to go to Tinder because they hear what they want to hear. Boys will give them the attention that they want, which may not be a bad thing all the time, but then they rely on it,” Natalie says.

There may be a lot of negative things about Tinder, but you can also have many unique experiences.

“I know a lot of girls love Tinder during Spring Training time just because there are so many baseball players on it,” she jokes.

Daniel uses Tinder in the hopes of finding the man of his dreams, but he also loves how the dating scene has become a game. He regularly shares Tinder conversations with his friends.

“I do it to mock how absurd the process of finding someone online truly

is. Tinder is a game. The more social you make it, the more fun it is for everyone, myself included,” Daniel says.

He does mention, however, that using Tinder works really well for his schedule.

“It allows me to sit at my desk, send some emails, do some paperwork, and maybe find a date for Friday night,” he says.

Meeting new people through Tinder has really changed his perspective on dating. Going on a date is more of a casual event and less of an anticipated one. For Daniel, Tinder has removed the difficult process of meeting people.

“It’s made dating more of an expectation. You don’t have a date? You haven’t been on a date in four months? That’s your own fault. You have 100 men at your fingertips,” he says.

At the end of the day, there’s no way to answer whether or not dating apps are doing any good. It’s clear to see that they are turning the dating world into a social platform in itself, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad thing.

Maybe this kind of dating is just too new to decipher.

“I would feel silly blaming Tinder for our need for attention. But then again, when I’m single and feeling neglected, it’s the first app I open up,” Daniel says.

ll right, it’s the middle of the semester and you’re starting to feel the burden of going to class and carrying around all your notes from September.

CLEANING UP YOUR EMAIL

Yes we know, those old essays might be useful one day soon, but more likely than not, they won’t be necessary.

If you really do want to keep them, put them in a carefully labeled and placed folder. If you keep saving everything to your desktop, you’ll get stressed and overwhelmed before you even begin that new 15 page paper!

If the just the words “recycle bin” sends shivers down your back. Back that ish up! Sign up for Dropbox and you’ll have access to it anywhere and everywhere. Plus, it won’t take up precious space on your computer.

We originally meant freeing up space, but a quick wipedown of your screen should probably happen too. Nope—go back and use an antibacterial wipe. Okay, thank you. Now look to see which apps are using up your memory. Most of the time, a quick cleaning of your photo album will do the trick but check for unusually large storages of text and iMessages. You and your friends send screenshots to each other all the time and this is really taking up unnecessary space.

DELETE.

FOLDERS, FOLDERS, FOLDERS. Yes, those emails from your professors may come in handy one day should you have to prove to your professor that you did actually turn in that assignment on time, but they’re clouding up your inbox and leaving you overwhelmed.

Assign all your emails to folders. When you go digging through it all, it’ll be easier to find and your mind will be at peace knowing that everything is neat and tidy giving you a little extra energy to finish out the semester.

A LECTURE ON FINDING MORE SCHOLARSHIPS ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

aving sleep apnea, being tall and having an interest in working with corpses all have something in common: if one of these things applies to you, then there may be a scholarship out there for you.

Scholarships are a way to help make the ever-increasing price of college more affordable.

There are a lot of opportunities out there, although you have to devote some time to finding and applying to them.

Personally, I am plagued by sleep apnea, so I applied to one related to that. Essentially, I had to write an essay about my experience with it and how 22 getting a machine helped me.

The essay got a little personal, as you will probably notice some scholarships do.

There are many great scholarship websites where you can make an account and include all your interests so that they can send you newsletters that are very specific to you and ones that you also qualify for, because as you may have already noticed, some scholarships have very specific criteria. Some of the websites are Fastweb Scholarship and Niche, which is very fittingly named.

On Niche, you can apply for a scholarship that is odd simply because of how laidback it is. It’s called the “No Essay” Scholarship

and it’s as easy as making an account and filling out a little bit of information about yourself.

They have one every month, so there’s a chance for you to win $2,000 each time!

On websites such as Niche, you can search scholarships that span a wide range. I went to the website to look at some the diverse categories. One of the categories quickly caught my eye—“Ukulele.” This category, for example, included two different scholarships: “Stillman Kelley National Instrumental Awards” and the “Ukulele Festival Hawaii’s College Scholarship Program”.

Or if you’re filled with

knowledge about where you live, you can take surveys and with each one you complete, you’re entered for another chance to win scholarship money. One like this is the “$1,000 Local Survey Scholarship” from Niche.

You can also go to places like ScholarshipPoints, in which you earn points to be entered into a scholarship application by doing things like taking surveys and playing trivia games.

I tried searching a couple of random words to see if any interesting scholarships came up. When I searched “comic book scholarships” a surprising amount of options came up.

One that caught my eye was

on Unigo and required that an applicant answer “Which superhero or villain would you want to change places with for a day and why?” (By the way, if you’re interested in that scholarship, it isn’t due until June 30th, 2016!)

We all have interests and hobbies that make us unique and I would suggest simply searching one of yours with the word scholarship at the end and odds are, you’ll be able to turn that pastime into a chance to get money for school!

I’ll let you know whether I got the sleep apnea scholarship once I find out!

MANAGING YOUR MONEY TIPS FOR CREATING AN EFFECTIVE AND EASY COLLEGE BUDGET JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

W

1. CREATE VISUALS There’s no better way to see how much you’re spending than to write it down. Seeing the numbers right in front of you keeps you from hiding your spending. Whether it’s a spreadsheet, chart, binder or

file folder, it’s always good to write down your expenses in some form or another. There are plenty of budget templates online that can help you get started!

2. SET GOALS If you want to travel abroad next semester, buy a new car, or start saving to pay your student loans, setting financial goals is a big part of planning a budget. Every month, set aside a specific amount just for your future goals and think of them as current expenses.

Before you know it, you’ll have enough saved to do the things you wouldn’t normally have the money for.

3. FIND BUDGET APPS THAT WORK FOR YOU Technology can be helpful in a variety of ways, including using it to help you plan your monthly budget. Simply swipe through your phone, laptop or tablet and you’re sure to find a budgeting app or two that will keep all your finances in order.

It’s perfectly fine to prefer a digital spreadsheet over a handwritten one. You can use apps such as Mint, DollarBird, Wally and Best Budget to track your expenses, send you bill reminders, make spending improvements and more.

4. MAKE CUTS WHERE CUTS CAN BE MADE There are plenty of small expenses that put a dent in your wallet such as eating out, going shopping, gas and cable.

If you can, try to cut back on some of these expenses by replacing them with cheaper alternatives. You can pay for a cheaper Netflix or Hulu subscription instead of paying for cable, make more meals at

home, bike to the store instead of drive and go shopping a couple times a month instead of every weekend.

5. FOLLOW THE 50/20/30 RULE The 50/20/30 rule is perfect for twenty-somethings who are just learning how to budget. Essentially, 50 percent of your income goes to essential items like rent, food, gas and utility bills. 20 percent

goes to things you should pay off and/or save for. These include retirement plans, student debt, credit cards and savings accounts. Finally, 30 percent of your income goes to your “wants,” such as cell phones, gym memberships, eating out and other luxury items. While you don’t have to follow the percentages exact, this rule is a great start to helping you live financially stable.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

hile blowing your money on Adele tickets or buying the newest iPhone might seem like great ideas, they may not be the most logical ones. An essential part of growing up is not relying on your parents to pay for everything you need so you can spend on things that you want.

Luckily, it’s not hard to create a monthly budget, so you can still have fun while being financially stable at the same time. Creating a budget for yourself doesn’t mean you can’t spend money on things you want, it means you can spend money on yourself and still have money left over.

Budgeting your finances reduces stress, allows you to set goals, gives you financial independence and helps you plan for the future, which are all things you’ll need once you’re out in the real world.

With that in mind, here are some tips to follow before creating a budget that are easy, inexpensive and surprisingly fun.

WHY JOINING CLUB TEAMS IS A GREAT ALTERNATIVE FOR THOSE LOOKING TO PLAY SPORTS

I ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

t’s a natural and frequent predicament: students who played sports in high school do not continue when they reach college. This could be because they go to a large D1 school, such as ASU, or they want to focus more on their studies and other things, like Greek life or they get a job.

Yet, you eventually yearn to play that sport once again. The best way to manage that may be a join the club team.

Joining a club team is really rather simple. Rachel Kestian, a transfer junior, is on the ASU women’s club volleyball team and explained to College Times how to join a club team and why she thinks it is the best of both worlds.

GETTING STARTED After playing volleyball at

Trinity Christian College in Palos Heights, Illinois, Kestian wanted to continue playing and joined the club team.

“At first I just thought I was going to be done playing,” Kestian says. “At first it started as a way to stay in shape but then I began to realize how much I really missed playing.

“Since I was new, it was also a great way to meet people, especially because I connect best with people through volleyball,” she says. “So if I have an opportunity to play a few more years, I might as well take advantage of it.”

JOINING In order to join the club team, you just go to the ASU Club website and look to see when tryouts are. If you make the team, you have to pay a $25

NICOLE CHOKSI • COLLEGE TIMES

fee to become a part of the club system.

You then have dues to pay while being on that team.

Those cover tournaments, two uniforms, backpacks, warm-up apparel and court time at the gym.

Being on the club team means traveling out of state most weekends in the semester to attend tournaments, and that means a huge time and money commitment.

The tournaments are normally just Saturday and Sunday, but the team will leave throughout the days depending on their class schedule.

Due to the large time commitment that is required to be on the A team, Kestian thought it would be most beneficial for schooling to decide to just be a part of the club practice squad.

“You are still a member of the club team, you still feel like a part of the team,” Kestian says. “You do everything that the team does, you just don’t go to tournaments.

“I actually got invited to go to a tournament because they needed more girls. You are still a part of the team, even if you are on practice squad.”

Kestian plans on returning to the A team next year, as long as she can attend to all the tournaments.

“Of course, I love still being able to feel as if I am part of the team while on the practice squad,” says Kestian. “Being able to actually play in games is the best feeling for me.”

ENTERTAINMENT HEY MACKLEMORE! JUST BE YOU

MACKLEMORE’S LATEST ALBUM FINDS HIM GRAPPLING WITH HIS STRANGE PLACE AS A WHITE LEADER IN HIP-HOP

B

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

en “Macklemore” Haggerty is, I believe, a good man with good intentions.

I believe this because in a song off his recently released album, This Unruly Mess I’ve Made, he says with intensity from the perspective of a doubtful hip-hop head, “Is this about you, well, then what’s your intention?/ What’s the intention? What’s the intention?”

That couplet is just one of several the famous rapper jams in the almost nine-minute closer, “White Privilege II.” He and producing partner Ryan Lewis hodge-podge different vignettes here—Macklemore feeling insecure marching with #BlackLivesMatters protesters, Macklemore feeling insecure listening to mothers praise his “positive” rap, Macklemore feeling insecure about his

Grammy wins. He’s got good intentions, but has internal difficulty trying to appeal to, well, everybody.

Bear in mind that at this point, the listener has already heard more than 45 minutes of Macklemore going back and forth between struggling to come to terms with his own complicated position in the rap world and throwing some goofy rhymes in there for good measure (and if this is “II” you know there was a “I”—he’s been feeling this way for a while now).

And he is in a complicated position. Here comes a white male from the Pacific Northwest, taking over the airwaves in an accelerated fashion with pop-rap hits like “Thrift Shop” and “Can’t Hold Us.” He is a skilled rapper with a keen ear for melody and varied production, who has faced and shared the greater troubles of his past.

So why have so many of his attempts to make the world a better place failed?

I keep comparing his words to that of best-rapperalive Kendrick Lamar (and not because of his fakebased Grammy apology to the Compton rapper).

When Kendrick shares the tales of his struggle, it is poetic, dense, emotional and individual. When Macklemore does it, it is simple, surfacelevel, clean cut in today’s society. Kendrick appears like a wholesome human being; Macklemore like the human version of a socialjustice Tumblr scroll. It’s all labels and stances, with Macklemore acting like the white Voodoo doll to take in all the pain.

This is partly a problem of audience. With “White Privilege II,” Macklemore attempts to reach out and embody so many different

groups. He wants to share his pains, but it’s not clear to whom he wants to share them with. In the end he decides to give advice to young white listeners, those who may not be as aware of ethnic and racial divides as others. The advice is basic, and the song asks more questions than it answers.

The problem is Macklemore is trying too hard to prove he deserves his place in the rap world, and will carry this torch with respect for others. He’s done this for years, whether rapping about sneakerheads, drug addicts or “same” love. Results are mixed.

What Macklemore needs to understand is that one person was not meant to do or be everything.

Here is some advice: Relax. Take the backseat to others who teach, explain, and lead better than you.

Listening is so often the best form of respect and acknowledgement. So, collaborate and listen.

Earlier in the record, in the rap lullaby “Growing Up,” Macklemore speaks to his newborn daughter. “Take your girl to the prom/But don’t get too drunk hanging out the limo/Slow dance with your woman in your arms/ Sneak her in after but boy, you better tiptoe.”

This is probably the closest we get to the real, unashamed Macklemore this time around. Cheesy like a dad is, but knowing it could only come from that privilege he tries to reject later on. He has good intentions, but like any human, he’s not perfect. It’s only when he acknowledges those natural drawbacks and still aims to be the best he can be that those good intentions come off as genuine.

ARIZONA LOVE

STATE FORTY EIGHT CELEBRATES THREE YEARS OF SUCCESS WITH BIG PARTY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI• COLLEGE TIMES

T

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

he State Forty Eight apparel line has grown by leaps and bounds since Chandler High grads Stephen Polando, Michael Spangenberg and Nicholas Polando started the business three years ago.

Founded as a simple T-shirt line honoring Arizona, State Forty Eight took the business to the next level after it was chosen as one of the “Emerging Designers” at Phoenix Fashion Week in 2014. Since then, the line has expanded and can be found online and in local businesses across the Valley including Sibley’s West and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

“We didn’t want to make the clothing too busy,” Spangenberg says. “We did want something that was simple that people would recognize right away; something to get rid of the three for $10 shirts. We wanted to stress that Arizona is a really cool place to live.

[Phoenix is] the sixth largest city in the U.S. for a reason.”

And Chandler is “cool” for State Forty Eight’s new headquarters, a 1,099-squarefoot multiuse space that functions as its office, workshop and showroom.

Previously, the trio was working out of its home.

“It’s a good problem to have, growing out of our home office,” Spangenberg

says. “We wanted to take it to the next level. We’ve always been smart about putting profits back into the business.

We really felt comfortable.

It was time to take that leap of faith. It’s so much more motivating to have an office.

When you have employees and meetings, it makes the business a lot more official, in my opinion.”

Spangenberg says this is just the tip of the iceberg.

“There’s still a lot more to go, but it’s exciting,” he says.

“There are so many goals, but really the immediate goal this year is to establish a retail presence at the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Tucson.

We want to kind of spread it out more in Arizona than just being in the Valley.”

That’s not to say that the trio isn’t thankful for what it has achieved. For that, it’s thanking the public with SFE Fest on Saturday, March 26.

The event will feature tours, music by Djayt3, food by Waffle Love and PAZ Cantina, Piexoto Coffee, giveaways and shopping.

“We’re going to have live DJ music, right outside of our office, which is a parking lot,” he says. “We’ll have Waffle Love waffle bar set up. We love them.

“There’s going to be giveaways. Folks can go through the showroom. It’s just a way to celebrate and the City of Chandler’s been

great helping us out. They were instrumental in helping us find a place. We knew what we wanted, but it’s a lot easier said than done.

We went over our needs and expectations and they helped us find the spot.”

Spangenberg is humbled

by the success of State Forty Eight.

“We know we have so much more to go,” he says.

“It’s humbling and rewarding to have people reach out daily and think of us. To be able to have so many people who want to work with us—

it’s really cool.”

A NEW CHAPTER

AFTER A TWO-YEAR HIATUS, HOMETOWN HEROES THE SUMMER SET ARE BACK AT IT WITH A NEW ALBUM AND TOUR DAMIR LOLIC • COLLEGE TIMES

T

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MARCH 24, 2016

here is a certain sound of sunshine that stems from being a band from the desert and homegrown pop-rock five-piece The Summer Set perfectly captures that.

Frontman Brian Dales grew up in Scottsdale, meeting bandmates and brothers John and Stephen Gomez in 2007.

Shortly afterward, he joined their band and they got to work immediately.

“We were workhorses playing shows all the time in Arizona and Southern California trying to build a community amongst the fans and other bands,” says Dales in a recent interview with College Times.

By 2009, they started 32 touring nationally and soon

the Vans Warped Tour was calling their name.

Their third studio album Legendary lived up to its title featuring popular singles “Boomerang” and “Lightning in a Bottle” which were gaining momentum rapidly.

Following the album’s success, The Summer Set won Macy’s iHeart Radio Rising Star competition in 2013. The perks included sharing the stage with Sheryl Crow and the Backstreet Boys at the iHeart Radio Music Festival as well as Macy’s Glamorama events.

“Our third album kind of felt like our first one,” he says. “A lot of different doors were opened once we won that competition putting us on a platform we had never experienced. Things got really

interesting because even though we had been a band for six years, it felt like the beginning all over again.”

The Summer Set continued touring rigorously and at one point was on the road for 16 months straight. But the last year and a half have been quiet except for a few rumors circulating that the band split up in 2015.

Those rumors were squashed in January when they announced a fourth studio album, Stories for Monday, set for release April 1. Dales touches on their hiatus admitting he was overwhelmed by the pressure of writing hit songs at first, but explains how a journey to selfdiscovery sparked his creative engine.

“I was submerged by the strain I put on myself to write music so I kept shying away from working on the album,” he says. “I decided to take a break and traveled to Mexico, Alaska and Bali when this weird thing happened where I got in tune with myself enabling the words to flow out.”

The record took over a year to write but the production was wrapped up in five weeks at John and Stephen’s house.

“We went from nothing to everything and the record was done out of nowhere,” he says.

The lead single released off of Stories for Monday is titled “Figure Me Out,” a second single titled “Missin’ You” quickly followed suit. Prior to these releases, it had been over

two years since they put out any music.

“We forgot what it was like to have people tell you what you did was good. I’m really thankful that we have a couple songs out there and people seem to like them.”

Dales feels as though it’s the most honest album they’ve made and is happy they took a long break to start a new chapter in life.

Welcome back from spring break!

Only two more months until summer! Unfortunately, you have approximately 40 papers, 76 quizzes, 405 homework assignments and like 10 finals to take between now and then but we’re sure you’re well prepared.

Looking good isn’t the only way you’re going to find a man, Cancer.

Sometimes you have to think outside the box. And when we say box, we mean that thing you’re holding in your hand right now. Put down the device and look around you!

Congratulations on getting that summer internship! Now, just remember: most companies look down upon binge-drinking so don’t go out the night before you have to go in. It’s a bad look.

Finding yourself is a key aspect of college and you’re not going to do that if you keep yourself locked in your room watching “House of Cards” all day and night! Get out there and meet people!

Your insistence on being one of Yelp’s Elite Squad is admirable and honestly a little frightening. You have made aggressive, though efficient, use of your time in reviewing as many restaurants as possible.

Finding yourself at a crossroads, Scorpio? Fear not. You’ll figure it out.

You just have to trust yourself and ask the advice of all your friends and family until they are sick of hearing about it.

Your love life is lookin’ bleak but don’t worry. It’ll pick back up this summer. You just have to let yourself be open to it. Oh! And don’t get that haircut you’ve been contemplating.

It’s always hard to let go, but you didn’t even date for six months and you’ve been miserable for like two already. Time to pick yourself up by the bootstraps and get over it. Plus, you never even met in person!
