STUDENT LIFE 11 THINGS YOU (PROBABLY) DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT . . .

CINCO DE MAYO

CINCO DE MAYO IS A CELEBRATION OF MEXICO’S UNLIKELY VICTORY OVER THE FRENCH ON MAY 5, 1862, AT THE BATTLE OF PUEBLA. WHILE IT IS A CELEBRATED DAY IN MEXICO, AMERICA (AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES) LOVE TO INDULGE IN THE FESTIVITIES JUST AS MUCH. LITERALLY TRANSLATED AS “FIVE OF MAY,” CINCO DE MAYO IS WITHOUT A DOUBT A DAY OF CELEBRATION, PARADES, MUSIC, TRADITIONAL DANCING AND AUTHENTIC CUISINE. WITH THAT IN MIND, HERE ARE SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MEXICAN HOLIDAY YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW.

THE MEXICANS MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE…BUT THEY LOST THE WAR

ITS AN ALL-OUT FIESTA IN THE U.S.

The victory at Puebla cannot be understated, but the French ended up winning the war and occupied Mexico for five years.

THE LARGEST CINCO CELBERATIONS HAPPEN IN THE CITY OF ANGELS

MUSICIANS TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THE BIG DAY

Los Angeles is a giant fiesta on the fifth of May. More than 500,000 people join in on the festivities every year. From plentiful food to tempting tequila-infused cocktails, the city is filled with culture and celebration all day long. If you feel like joining in on the fun, Los Angeles is only a six-hour drive from the Valley.

Mainstream artists like War, Senses Fail and Liz Phair all have songs titled after Cinco de Mayo.

For French leader, Napoleon III, winning the Battle at Puebla also meant obtaining its resource as a key access point to the United States.

His intention was to lend support to the Confederate army— further dividing America.

Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is NOT Mexican Independence Day. Mexico’s liberation from Spanish rule happened over 50 years before on September 16, 1810.

4 THE HOOPLA HAPPENS IN THE MOST UNLIKLIEST PLACES In addition to Mexico and America, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated all around the world in countries like Malta, New Zealand, the Cayman Islands, England and Australia.

3

9 ITS ORIGIN IS OFTEN MISTAKEN

In addition to the millions of pounds of avocado, Americans drink their fair share of tequila on the fifth of May. According to the Daily Meal, $12.3 million cases of tequila were bought last year—twice as much as Mexico!

6 HOLY GUACAMOLE! We consume 81 million pounds of avocado during Cinco de Mayo every year.

That’s a lot of guac!

SPAIN AND ENGLAND ALMOST JOINED FRANCE IN THE BATTLE The Spanish and English sent forces with the objective to collect debts but retreated after making an agreement with the Central American nation.

2 THE COLORS OF VICTORY During the parades, people walk around in skirts and flowery shirts, which represent the women that traveled along with the army to cook and care for the men. Partygoers will often dress in red and green to represent the Mexican flag as well.

1 ROOSEVELT HELPED SPREAD IT ACROSS THE COUNTRY Cinco de Mayo became popular in the U.S. after President Roosevelt authorized the “Good Neighbor Policy” in 1933 to improve relations with Latin American nations.

MASTERING

GYM‑TO‑STREET TAYLOR SEELY

STYLE

SPENCER DENNIS • COLLEGE TIMES

Trends with Taylor

L

et’s just start by stating the obvious: the gym is not about looking cute, fresh and well...presentable. This is NOT a how-to guide on looking good while exercising. Most days, if I’m lucky to pull myself out of bed, I show up crusty-eyed and wearing fuzzy holiday socks because I’m terrible at laundry.

But every now and then, you schedule a gym date and a million errands and don’t have time to stop home in between. The solution?

Bring a few key statement pieces to transform your gym-style look into a top-notch “I woke up like this” street style look.

The key? It’s all about contrast.

Depending on your typical gym wear, you may prefer leggings, you may swear by sweats, or you may choose bike shorts.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

For tight pants: Go with a looser top or oversized jacket.

Cargo jackets are always a great option because they’re versatile and go with almost everything.

If your pants are highwaisted, try a crop top jacket.

To show a little more skin: Not much of a coat person and want to rock your hot bod? Go with a fun sports bra,

leggings and a long vest—unbuttoned of course. Don’t forget big sunglasses. #Fierce.

For loose pants: Coats and baggy pants usually give off lazy vibes. For a more pulledtogether look, go with a tighter-fitting cardigan or crop top and wrap a coat around your waist for more coverage.

Shoes are key: We’re living in a day and age where gym shoes are actually on trend.

Enjoy it! Rock those gym shoes. If you don’t like your sneaks (mine are super chunky and ugly because I need the arch support), throw a pair of stylish slip-ons in your gym bag.

PREPARING YOUR HAIR AND SKIN FOR THE HEAT

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR SUMMER SURVIVAL ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

L

ifelong Arizona residents say there is nothing that can help you fully prepare for Phoenix summers. In a flash, we’ll go from breezy spring weather to scorching temperatures. In fact, by the time you read this, it will probably already be hotter than 90 degrees.

It’s important to take special care of your skin and hair when summer rolls around. Our famous “dry heat” can also dry out your hair and turn your skin into a sun-kissed mess. Luckily, there are products that can extinguish these problems. Before we’re into triple digits, here are some tips and tricks you can use to win the battle with the sun before it even starts.

SAVE YOUR SKIN WITH SUNSCREEN

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

10

Arizona is, as everyone likes to say, a dry heat. This is good because there’s no humidity to make your hair look like Medusa, but it does mean the sun is extremely strong. It is important to use sunscreen every day to protect your skin — more so in the summer months. Any sunscreen with a SPF 30 or higher will suffice.

For your face, you might want to choose a product more tailored to your skin type.

There are options for oily skin, dry skin, combination skin tones and more.

FRESHEN UP THROUGHOUT THE DAY Chances are any makeup or lotions you put on in the morning will melt off by noon.

Getting warm is perfectly normal in triple-digit weather, but that doesn’t mean you should have to deal with the sweaty aftermath. You can always bring an emergency makeup kit to touch up your face wherever you go.

Face wipes can also help rejuvenate and clean your skin when you’re out and about.

Additionally, don’t forget to carry deodorant with you.

Reapplying deodorant during the day is extremely important in this weather because your morning application won’t last more than a few hours.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HAIR Using a deep conditioner once a week in the shower will help your hair stay moisturized. Also, it’s not really necessary to wash your hair more than twice a week. More frequent shampooing will cause your hair to will lose its natural oils and dry out even more. Because of the heat, you can probably air-dry your locks instead of frying them under a hair dryer. If you have to use a dryer to style, try using a cooler temperature setting so you don’t amp up the damage.

KNOW YOUR SKIN A consistent skin routine is a good way to make sure your skin is protected on a daily basis. Note that everyone’s skin is different, so a product that might work for your friend won’t necessarily work for you.

For normal or combination skin, use a gentler cleanser or soap. Dry skin prefers a cleanser that is alcohol free to prevent drying out even more.

For oily skin, use an oil-free cleanser and warm water.

Finally, if you have sensitive skin, look for cleansers that have natural ingredients.

ONE GUY, ONE GIRL, THREE QUESTIONS NICOLE GIMPL AND ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

EXISTENTIAL AMBUSH

WE BOMBARD PEOPLE WITH THE BIG QUESTIONS TO SEE HOW THEY RESPOND NICOLE GIMPL AND ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

“Do you think it’s hard to stay healthy as a college student?”

“Definitely. The dorm food is supposed to be healthy because they have information on the nutritional value, but it’s nasty. There’s not a lot of healthy options, especially for people who are vegan or vegetarian.”

– JADE CARTER, FRESHMAN, ASU

“I think it’s definitely harder than it is at home – especially living in a dorm. Eating healthy is a little harder too - so many unhealthy options and so few healthy ones. You have to make an active effort to eat healthy in college.”

– EMILY MUDGE, FRESHMAN, ASU

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

“I think it depends on if you’re trying to go vegan or not. With fast food, you’re not going to be eating healthy. But it’s a lot cheaper, so I know that’s what draws people.”

“I think it’s very hard, especially if you’re working and going to class. I’m trying to be as successful as I can by doing internships and doing well in my classes, so staying healthy is a major problem for me. I barely exercise because I rarely have the time.”

ISABEL PONCE SENIOR, ASU

JACKSON MANCHEGO JUNIOR, ASU

How do you stay healthy?

“I go running and eat well. I don’t eat junk food; I eat lots of vegetables and fruit instead. I try to exercise two to three times a week.”

Do you work out regularly? Why or why not?

“I do work out regularly.

I’m getting ready for police academy so I need to be fit for that.

Also, I do it just to stay healthy.”

Do you think there is more pressure for men or women to be physically fit?

“That’s a tough one. I think men are expected to stay more muscularly fit, but women are expected to be skinny and toned. I think it’s mostly girls who get the pressure. With guys, it’s OK if they have a little chub.”

How do you stay healthy?

“I wake up pretty early, and I try to work out at least once a day. I keep track of what I eat and how much I eat.”

Do you work out regularly? Why or why not?

“Yes I do. The reason behind working out regularly is that it’s been something I’ve done for quite a long time. It’s become sort of a habit, and I don’t want to go back to looking how I did before I started eating healthy.”

Do you think there is more pressure for men or women to be physically fit?

“That’s a good question.

I’m not entirely sure about that. I definitely feel pressure from myself to be physically fit just because I don’t want to go back. But that’s a good kind of pressure.”

WHY I LOVE FIRST FRIDAY:

MONTHLY HAPPENING COMBINES MANY FORMS OF ART TO MAKE FOR ONE AMAZING NIGHT

ANGELICA CABRAL • COLLEGE TIMES

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

I

n the midst of all that college stress, there is a street art festival a mere 10-minute walk away from the Downtown campus. First Friday showcases a flourishing environment filled with singing, dancing, painting and any other art form you can imagine.

For me, First Friday is reminiscent of home. I hail from the San Francisco Bay area where these kind of events happen all the time.

Now, Phoenix is no San Francisco, but First Friday allows the people living here to get a true feel for vibrant city life.

In addition, First Friday adds to the quickly evolving arts community in Downtown Phoenix. The many perks of First Friday include free admission to the Phoenix Art Museum. However, most of the festivities happen on Roosevelt Row. There are dozens of

vendors along Roosevelt, selling interesting handmade goods from rock necklaces to shirts that display a love for marijuana. Meanwhile, various artists from different backgrounds cover the streets with their creations.

Food trucks rule Roosevelt Row offering delectable eats for every taste bud. You’re also sure to find singers and musicians setting up up camp on the sidewalks, showcasing their audible arts for the First

Friday crowd.

One of my favorite places is 5th Row Dance Studios, offering weekly hip-hop dance classes. I’ve only been there once, but I will never forget the First Friday that I was there.

They showcased poets, rappers and dancers before finishing off the night with a dance performance by their own crew.

I also like to make a point of swinging by Lawn Gnome Publishing—a bookstore on

Fifth Street. The unassuming bookstore comes to life on First Friday. In front of the building, you’ll find artists and live music.

Overall, the experience makes for a well-needed break from academia—delving into a Phoenician culture more alive than ever before.

SUCCESS & MONEY YOU’RE NOT TOO COOL FOR SUMMER SCHOOL

WHY SUMMER IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS IN COLLEGE NICOLE GIMPL • COLLEGE TIMES

T

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

aking extra classes during the summer?

Why would anyone ever want to do such a thing?

Isn’t summer supposed to be a time to let loose, chill out on a beach and get a killer tan? Well yeah, that sounds pretty great but — I’m in an economics class so bear with me — what’s the opportunity cost?

Community colleges offer a large catalog of summer courses that can get you ahead in your major map and closer to graduation day. Not to mention community colleges offer courses for thousands of dollars less than universities. It’s a great way to take advantage of cheaper credit hour prices.

General studies courses are a pain, let’s be honest. Taking classes over the summer can ensure you have enough time to minor in something and still be able to graduate on time.

Before you register for those summer courses, here are a few things to consider:

1) Make sure the community college course complies with the requirement for your university. Just because the class numbers match up, that doesn’t mean the credit will successfully transfer.

Community colleges and universities need to work together so the credits are transferable. In Arizona, a lot of our community colleges are set up so the credits are easily transferrable to NAU, ASU or U of A. 2) Don’t buy your books at the campus bookstore unless you have to. The only reason you should is if the book is a special edition to that campus. This usually means the professors wrote the book themselves or there’s an access code that comes with it is specific to the course. If that’s not the case, try purchasing them online and you’ll save a ton of money.

3) Don’t wait until the last minute to sign up for classes.

A lot of people are trying to do the same thing you are and classes fill up quickly.

4) You can take classes online.

If you have a busy schedule, summer job or you just don’t want to be in a classroom setting, there are online

classes to accommodate you and your lifestyle.

Community colleges are there to help students who have too much on their plate to focus solely on school.

5) This is more of a bonus to taking classes in the summer. You’ll always have a reason to stay in the

air-conditioning! When the temperatures are in the triple digits the last thing you want is to be outside. While you may wish you were outside soaking up the sun, think of how much easier the fall semester will be for you with all these classes under your belt. Go enroll now before it’s too late, or worse, too hot!

GETTING BUZZED THE HIVE SALON BRINGS A SWARM OF COLOR TO PHOENIX JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

THE BEGINNING OF THE HIVE

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

20

Alli Bee and Heidi Martucci opened The Hive Salon in Phoenix last month. The Hive specializes in modern hair trends among men and women, making it the perfect place for young people to change up their looks with a crazy color or cut.

Before they became badass hair gurus, Alli worked as a receptionist at a salon in South Tempe before going to beauty school, and Heidi was working at a record store before she discovered her calling in the hair industry. The two met at Shampoo Ink in Phoenix, where they worked together for three years before deciding to venture out on their own in December.

“We both had very similar work ethics, professional values and a passion for our career, so we decided that it was just time for us to go out on our own,” Alli says.

Four months later these fashionably ambitious ladies are making their mark at the Salon Studios on Camelback, a beauty complex with 15 suites full of salon-type services.

A NEW STYLE “Fashion colors” are becoming more acceptable in the workplace. Alli, whose own hair is a fiery combination of reds, oranges, and yellows says colorful hair is not as taboo at work as it used to be.

“Especially in Phoenix, it’s such a college-centric city that I think people are a lot more accepting of it. It’s really fun that people are wearing their

personality in their hair,” Alli says.

Making a drastic change in physical appearance can say a lot about a person. These hairstylists believe it’s a sign of confidence and fearlessness.

“It means they’re not afraid to be themselves and to be different,” Alli says.

MAKING THE CUT Colorful hair doesn’t happen overnight. Before making the cut, you need to understand that going colorful is a long process.

“They have to know what their maintenance schedule is going to be like, because it’s not

just what we’re doing today, it’s what it’s going to take to get you to your goals,” Heidi says.

“Hair has limitations and we don’t know what those are, so we do what the hair will let us do each visit and get there a little bit at a time. That’s the main goal, to have these beautiful, bright amazing colors but hair that looks and feels amazing still.”

A lot of times clients want to go from dark hair to platinum blonde in one day, which isn’t feasible if you want your hair to stay healthy.

“People are our business cards walking around, so we can’t have people complaining

about their hair and saying things weren’t good and their hair was destroyed because they couldn’t be patient,” Alli says.

HAIR TALK The biggest mistakes people make with hair are using too much heat, not using the right products and box color. While they know salon-colored hair is an investment, the ladies stressed how important it is not to use box color.

“If their hair is really damaged, we’re just honest.

Sometimes I take a humorous approach where I say, ‘Oh yeah!

Sure! You can be platinum blonde today, how do you feel

about pixie cuts?’” Alli says.

Trust is an essential part of the relationship with your hairdresser. Stylists are trained to know what kind of haircut or color would look best on a person by gauging their personality and lifestyle.

“We strive to give the best service that we can possibly give, and just make it a fun environment. We just love having fun at work and I think that it’s a huge reason we own this salon,” Alli says.

GETTIN’ FLIRTY UNDER $30 JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

If you’re anything like us, you have the taste of someone in their 40s or 50s, but the salary (or lack there of) of someone in their 20s. Luckily for our poor souls, most of the restaurants out of our price range offer pretty amazing happy hour prices. So, taking advantage of that, we’re proving you can still have a fun, delicious date for under $30.

CAPTIVATED AT CULINARY DROPOUT As a part of Fox Restaurant Concepts, this relaxing space serves up a variety of unique gastropub fare, live music and a 21 and up game area. My boyfriend and I have wanted to try this place for a while, but their regular menu was a bit too expensive for our wallets. Once we realized their happy hour menu was in our budget, we were there in a heartbeat.

AMBIANCE

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

Culinary Dropout is definitely a go-to hangout for yuppies all around the Valley. We decided to go to the Phoenix location because we live close. Their about page reads: “From the chefs on the line with silver-studded ears and Mohawk hairdo, to the inked-up, decked-out bar staff mixologists shaking and stirring some of the most creative cocktails, we’re all dropouts here.” Everyone who worked there was young, attentive, happy and full of diversity. We loved the open concept inside the restaurant—especially the gigantic windows that made the room feel even bigger. When we arrived, there was an hour left of happy hour and we still got a really good table...close to the big windows!

DRINKS My boyfriend is really into craft beers, but he was disappointed in the “mug beer” options. He opted for a Stella Artois. Unlike my craft brew enthusiast, I got a margarita— salt on the rim. It was pretty good for a well margarita. Not 100% satisfied with his beer choice, my love then tried the “Double Blind.” They bring you a mysterious canned beer in a

brown bag, and then you choose a shot of liquor out of a bucket to wash it down with. My Wisconsin native boyfriend was excited to receive a Wisconsin beer and a shot of Jack Daniel’s.

FOOD The food was probably my favorite part of date night, and judging by the fact that my boyfriend stayed quiet once the plates hit the table, I think it

was his too. The HH food menu was all under $6, which was amazing. I tried to eat “healthy” and ordered hummus and Korean shrimp and chicken on a stick…but then my boyfriend ordered the pork belly nachos.

I found myself picking out the pork belly because it was so good. The hummus was too sweet for me, but the chicken and shrimp were amazing, we just wished there was more of it.

TOTAL $30 exact (minus tax) for three dishes, two beers, a margarita and a shot.

HOW TO MEAL PREP ON A BUDGET EAT HEALTHY, SAVE MONEY AND FEED YOUR TUMMY NICOLE CHOKSI • COLLEGE TIMES

B

eing in college means having a crazy busy schedule and hardly enough time to cook a proper meal. Instead of eating cereal, PB&Js or fast food every night, meal prepping might be a good solution. It’s inexpensive, easy and fast. Here are a few tips to keep in mind to stick to a budget and get the most out of the food you have.

PLAN

SALES Checking local sale ads might take a little extra time each week, but in the end it will be kind to your budget.

Avoid buying a lot of expensive proteins or you will quickly see most of your funds gone.

STORAGE When planning meals, it’s important to have the proper containers so the food doesn’t spoil. Mason jars are a great way to keep your food fresh because you can store just about anything in them and they are great for freezing.

Another good storage option is using multicompartment plastic storage containers. This way, your meals are in one container for an easy grab-andgo during your morning rush.

SNACKS Usually, there isn’t enough time to eat a whole meal between classes, so you might opt for a snack. If you prep your snacks ahead of time, it gives you more time between classes because you don’t have to look for food on campus.

Almonds, fruits and vegetables make for a great snack and are perfect for on the go. Simply fill snack-sized baggies with a handful of almonds or veggies.

Apples can last for three to four weeks when stored in the refrigerator. Baby carrots are an easy snack too. You can buy them in individually packaged servings and they can last for over a week.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

The first step to meal prepping is to plan what you want to make for the week and what you are going to have to buy. That way you can stick to a budget. To further keep costs low, try to plan your meals around what you already have in your house — you want every meal balanced with a protein, a starch and a vegetable.

Stick to more inexpensive items that will last awhile and can be used in multiple ways such as rice and pasta. Canned soups are a staple on most shelves, preparation is minimal and they last for years.

TEMPE’S NEWEST SUPPLEMENT SHOP FOCUSES ON POSITIVITY

DAMIR LOLIC • COLLEGE TIMES

A

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 21, 2016

s College Avenue clings to the last vibrancy of spring semester, most things are winding down. But one storefront is brand new.

It began as the idea of a few undergraduates on the ASU campus eight years ago.

But today it’s a dream that’s finally come true for four nowgraduates.

The young men of Club Nutrition all met while they were donning maroon and gold on the rugby pitch. No sport requires athletes to rely on their teammates more than rugby.

That’s how bonds were forged among these former students, and they’ve lasted for years.

All that camaraderie and trust would eventually shape the blueprint for Club Nutrition. The team includes co-owners John Varvara and 26 Sean Peterson, director of club

operations, Jason Parkinson, and director of club marketing, Blake Peterson.

“The club concept is to create a place where you can connect and learn,” Varvara says.

“We want customers to grow strong physically through our supplements but also mentally through our knowledge.”

MEET THE TEAM After his junior year at ASU, Varvara received an offer to play professional rugby for the Romanian National Team. Being a first generation RomanianAmerican, Varvara credits his experience in the old country for helping put things into perspective for him.

“Over there you live the simplest life,” he says. “Living there was very calming and made things easier for me. I came back with a clear head

and was ready to tackle any obstacle life threw at me.”

Just two years ago, Varvara and Sean Peterson were stressing about what they wanted to do post-college.

Varvara was working at a Nutrishop in Newport Beach, which led to the two realizing they could build their own nutrition store.

Being huge proponents of ASU, they wanted to ensure their establishment was located in the heart of Sun Devil territory, which is why they decided on their location on College Avenue. Having worked in the supplement industry since he was 16, Varvara possessed all the industry knowledge they needed to get the ball rolling.

“The first thing we did was figure out what we wanted to change about the industry,”

says Varvara. “Solely selling supplements wasn’t our goal, we wanted to create the perfect balance in the nutritional world.”

The first thing you’ll notice when walking into Club Nutrition is how knowledgeable the staff is and how eager they are to assist customers with any questions they may have.

“We don’t want it to feel like we have an assembly line where people get in and out,” says Varvara. “It’s more of come in, learn and interact with one another.”

Jason Parkinson initially went to NAU on a football scholarship, but it was fate that brought him to ASU. He went on to join the rugby team and proved himself worthy of a starting spot within a month. It was on that rugby pitch where

he met his future lifelong friends and business partners.

“It’s been a blessing to start something we truly believe in and grow it with these guys,” he says.

Parkinson graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Supply Chain Management, so he’s an expert at figuring out what the customers really want and can spot the trends early on to provide the best products for their patrons.

“We really feel like we have an identity and a brand people can relate with,” Parkinson says.

“The synergy between us allows us to adapt to changes and trends in the industry.”

Parkinson prides himself and his team for the fact that they’re able to do something they love while impacting the community profoundly.

“We feel like we’re helping

similar additives. They also boast an apparel line featuring everything from socks to shirts— the true forefront of the fitness lifestyle.

SUPPLEMENTS, MEAL PLANS AND MERCHANDISE

Back when Varvara was a professional rugby player, he was sponsored by the vitamin and supplement store Nutrishop. Now, he and the Club Nutrition team sponsor athletes themselves.

“Implementing proper supplementation really takes you to the next level,” Varvara says. “We’re able to tap into the right supplementation and give the athletes what they need.

Jay Deng is a men’s physique competitor who has won first place in several competitions.

After a knee injury derailed his NFL aspirations, Deng dove into fitness full-time. As an athlete sponsored by Club Nutrition, Deng receives their support at all his competitions.

“Fitness is all about the mentality and positive energy,”

Offering a full line of proteins such as amino acids, glutamine and test boosters, the Club Nutrition team only shelves products that they use personally. For customers that know nothing about nutrition, they also provide starter kits and meal preps that are freshlymade and ready for pick up every Monday and Thursday.

“We’re one of the first companies to have probiotics in our protein,” says Varvara.

“Everything is non-GMO, gluten-free and organic.”

Straying away from food coloring and artificial flavors, they use coconut oil creamer— which is absent of sugar or any

ATHLETIC SPONSORSHIP

TREVOR CUICCHI

CLUB NUTRITION’S MISSION The store officially opened its doors on March 25, and the team says the response from the community has been strong.

“Our grand opening was everything we could have hoped for,” Parkinson says. “The store was full of energy (and) you could really feel everyone.”

Club Nutrition is big on community outreach, so it’s not surprising to see that they are already making strides in lending a helping hand.

“We’ve designed tank tops and wristbands for the upcoming Pat’s Run with all the proceeds going directly to the Pat Tillman Foundation,” Parkinson says.

“Pat Tillman stood for something, so it’s more to take an introspective look at your life and the people who have helped get you to where you’re at.”

he says. “The guys come to my shows and are constantly there helping me strive for excellence.”

He also explains how Club Nutrition separates themselves from other stores in the industry.

“It’s not a regular supplement shop, the protein source is diversified, bio-available and very effective,” he says.

Trevor Cuicchi, also a former rugby player, moved from the pitch to being an Olympic weightlifter. Club Nutrition reached out to him about sponsorship and Cuicchi jumped on the opportunity.

“They have been helping me tremendously with supplementation but also moral support,” he says.

Cuicchi decided to pursue his Olympic dreams just two months ago, and has already won the first two meets he’s competed in.

Next Fall, Club Nutrition will be the official sponsor for ASU’s rugby team.

oft spoken and humble, Larry Fitzgerald says he believes in carrying on the legacy of his mother, Carol, who died during a battle with breast cancer in 2003.

Subsequently, he established the Carol Fitzgerald Memorial Fund, an organization that offers support to causes she believed in like educating urban youth about HIV/AIDS and breast cancer issues.

“My mom was an unbelievable woman and she’s worth honoring,” says Fitzgerald while he was suffering from a cold. “I try to live positive and I

try to honor her legacy as best I can.”

The sixth annual Larry Fitzgerald Double Play Celebrity Softball Game backs one of those causes—nonprofit missions that assist children and their families here and abroad—via The Larry Fitzgerald First Down Fund.

The game is Saturday, April 23, at Salt River Fields, while a new Larry Fitzgerald Charity Classic is the day before at Talking Stick Golf Club. The event is private.

“I really get excited this time of year because I’m able to go out and participate in an event that I really enjoy,”

he says. “I have friends from across the league and multiple entertainment circles getting actively involved. It means a great deal to me and I really appreciate the support of the community.”

Celebrity softball players and coaches will be announced closer to date. Gates open at 5:30pm; the Home Run Derby begins at 6 p.m. and the game begins at 7 p.m.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 215-pound Arizona Cardinals wide receiver explains the game is just as fun for the participants as it is the fans.

“The guys get kind of competitive,” Fitzgerald says. “I think everybody really enjoys it. The fans get to see some of their favorite celebrities, meet them, take pictures and get autographs. I think they really enjoy that and I think I really enjoy it myself.”

The competition heats up for the first Larry Fitzgerald Charity Classic.

“We’ve added a component on Friday, golf,” Fitzgerald explains. “That’s something that I’ve always wanted to do. I really enjoy playing golf. I think

it’s going to be a wonderful opportunity for people who like to play golf and like to do it in a charitable manner. I’m thinking it’s going to be something that’s going to raise a lot of awareness, different kind of clientele, a different kind of donor, a different kind of volunteer. I’m really excited about that.”

Anyone who follows Fitzgerald’s social media accounts knows he’s into golf and traveling. He was even on the cover of Golf Digest in October.

“Golf is something I picked up a few years ago,” he says.

“It’s taken me by the horns and given me the opportunity to go out and compete, but compete in a way that’s not taxing. You have the burn inside of you, but you don’t have to get tackled.”

The golf tournament may be new, but the overall theme and purpose of the event has stayed the same.

“We try to follow the same model year after year,” he says.

“We’ve sustained success with the way we’ve done things, but we’re honoring some of the wounded warriors who participate over the years.

“We use YouTube videos for the person to sing the national anthem. We make sure we’re honoring the people in the community who work so hard, whether it be singing or military service. We like to keep the grassroots of what we’ve been able to accomplish over the years.”

Although it’s easy to get participants, the logistics can be difficult.

“You have to get flights and hotels and a lot of different things of that nature,” he says.

“In terms of guys participating, they really are supportive and want to help me. They really do come out and support me.”

HOW YOU CAN USE HOUSEHOLD ITEMS TO WORK UP A SWEAT JASMINE KEMPER • COLLEGE TIMES

cheap version of sliders. They can also be used for resistance and stretching your upper body. A towel is one of the most versatile workout items you’ll ever own, plus you probably have plenty of them lying around your room already.

WATER JUGS/MILK JUGS/DETERGENT BOTTLES

f you can’t afford a gym membership or fancy workout equipment, there are other inexpensive ways to break a sweat at home. If you live in a dorm, there’s no chance in hell you’re getting a home gym to fit into your shared space anyway.

Chances are you already own workout equipment in the form of household items. From milk jugs to canned beans, nothing is off limits. Here are some items you can use to pump iron in the comfort of your own home.

A gallon-sized jug of milk weighs around 8.5 pounds, which makes it the perfect object for an arm workout and a great alternative to a dumbbell.

Water jugs and laundry detergent containers can also suffice.

You can hold two jugs in each hand for a bicep workout or take one of the jugs to use for overhead presses. For a more intense workout, you can fill the containers up with rice to make them even heavier, just make sure you don’t overdo it

TOWELS Towels aren’t just for drying — they can also be used for helping you work out those legs! From squats to lunges and mountain climbers to reverse planks, towels are just the

dumbbells and can be used on almost every part of the body.

Use them to strengthen your shoulders and work out your biceps with some curls. You can also find heavier cans to make your back, chest and legs even stronger.

STAIRS These OG stair climbers are plentiful if you live on campus or in an apartment complex, and they make for an excellent way to burn those pesky calories. Running up and down the steps is a good way to get your heart rate going and helps your glutes, quads and hamstrings work harder because of the slight incline. Stairs provide a consistent daily workout, are always available and the best part...free.

CANNED FOOD Canned goods like beans, soups or vegetables are good for upper body workouts that require multiple reps. Standard cans aren’t particularly heavy (around one pound), but that doesn’t mean they can’t be used for simple exercises. In fact, they can entirely replace

CHAIRS You can use a stationary chair (no wheeled office chairs!) to do full-body workouts. Work your upper body with some push-ups using the seat, tone your arms with some chair dips or get your leg muscles moving with some leg raises or seat taps. You might look silly using your dining room chairs as workout equipment, but you’ll thank us later when you’re feeling the burn on furniture you usually sit on all day.

HOW KYLE GASS FOUND SUCCESS CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

efore finding success with acting, as well as singing with his rock duo Tenacious D, Kyle Gass had morale-shattering experiences that probably would have made others give up on their dreams.

He worked as a dishwasher in a Mexican restaurant where the dirty dishes were seemingly never-ending.

He was also employed as a security guard—but at least he

could sneak in his guitar and write a few songs while on the job.

“But it was really a struggle for a long time,” Gass says via telephone from North Hollywood.

“The line of demarcation for me was if I didn’t have to work a day job. I thought if I could make enough not to work a terrible day job, I would accept that as success.

My bar was really low.”

Acting was just as hard.

Gass admits that he was a “pretty unsuccessful actor” for the first 10 years, and then slowly the small jobs started coming. He was bailed out by the music of Grammy Awardwinning Tenacious D, which pairs him with Jack Black.

Now he’s touring with the Kyle Gass Band, who plays The Rebel Lounge in Phoenix on Thursday, April 28.

“At our shows, you can

expect the usual: face-melting, mind-exploding, pleasureinducing entertainment,” Gass says.

“It’s really fun. We have the best time. If you’re having three quarters as much fun as we’re having, you’re probably going to have a great time.

“There are really no other options. There have been times when I haven’t really been in that much of a mood to play. Even then, not having

fun isn’t the best option during this hour, hour and a half.”

Entering the music industry was a logical career path for Gass. His parents encouraged him to play an instrument or two when he was young.

“It was a family tradition to pick out an instrument for school band,” Gass says. “I picked out the flute and I was on my way. The recorder we had to play in school. I was one of the few people who enjoyed that.

“It was the beginning of the musical odyssey as it were.

I’ve always enjoyed it. I didn’t think it would be my job.”

He has a bit of advice for people who want to pursue music.

“Stay heavily medicated during the bad times,” he says in jest. “It’s hard at times. But what would you rather do?

Sit around drinking or be creative?

“I’d want to play in a band and do interesting projects.

It doesn’t cost anything to hang out with your friends and come up with a silly something or another. It’s available to do rich or poor.”

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTE

PENTATONIX’S KIRSTIN MALDONADO EMPOWERS YOUNG WOMEN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES

S

plays the Comerica Theatre on Wednesday, May 4. “I know the songs were a soundtrack to my life back then. To think that we are in a position to impact people today, it’s crazy but it’s important. I wouldn’t want anyone to feel small.”

“I tell fans to be strong. I empower them and let them know they can be strong and they can have big dreams. If anyone had spoken to me on Twitter when I was younger, I would have totally freaked out.”

In this day and age of the media flaunting actors’ and actresses’ good looks on social media, Maldonado says she believes it’s more important than ever to be a positive role model.

“Everyone says that all these celebrities like Kylie Jenner are so young and so famous and so beautiful,” she says. “It can be negative to a woman growing up now. I’m only 23 and I’m making it sound like I’m 80.

“But I can’t imagine cyberbullying being more of a thing. Social media is filled with posts about the amazing, great things that happen.

Someone who may not have that life may look back on theirs and be sad about it. I think every single person in the world has their hard time and difficulties. I think every single person is important.

I know the most important thing is to believe in yourself. I know this.”

She wouldn’t have this ability or this voice without her success with Pentatonix. Known primarily for a cappella covers, Pentatonix scored big with its first original single, “Can’t Sleep Love.” That was the cornerstone of a successful 2015.

“We have a lot of big dreams, and we want to take it as far as we can go,” she says.

“It’s really awesome to start out as a cover band by being on the show and then wanting to be an artist who has a lot to say. It’s cool to be able to transition to that and still have people accept it. That was going to be our big worry, but it’s going really well.”

So what else can Pentatonix achieve?

“I don’t think any of us really have a cap on it,” Maldonado says about goals. “We just put a lot of goals in front of us and, if we’re fortunate enough to accomplish them, then we continue on to the next goal.

We continue making goals. As long as we can continue to do it, we’ll do it well.”

PENTATONIX W/US THE DUO Comerica Theatre, 400 W. Washington Street, Phoenix, 800.745.3000, ticketmaster. com, 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 4, $39-$59.50.

ince entering the industry in 2011, thanks to the show “The SingOff,” the a cappella group Pentatonix has won Grammys, collected more than 1.4 billion view on its YouTube channels and appeared in “Pitch Perfect 2.”

Its debut studio album, Pentatonix, sold more than 2.8 million albums in the United States alone.

Still, singer Kirstin Maldonado alludes to selfesteem issues, something that carries over from childhood issues.

“When I had a bad day, a bad breakup or a happy day, I listened to the songs by people I looked up to,” says Maldonado, whose group

Hey Aries, you’ve already played 60 hours of WoW this week, which wouldn’t be so bad if you weren’t sitting in the dark, wearing a onesie and eating the unrefrigerated leftovers from two days ago.

It’s almost your birthday! Put on your fancy dress, eat a fancy dinner and drink some fancy drinks. After, ask your fancy friends if they can help pay for all of this because you’re in college and you don’t have that kind of money!

You emailed your professor asking for an extension on that essay and she never answered, so you spent all night writing about a book you’ve never read. Guess what? The essay isn’t even due until next week. Just go back to bed.

We’re proud of you, Cancer. You’ve been eating so healthy lately. I mean, you had that frappuccino this morning because you needed caffeine and that croissant was on sale, also there were donuts at work but you only took one, and it wasn’t even good so it doesn’t count.

Besides being devilishly handsome, you’re also an Academy Award winner, environmentalist and an amazing actor who dates supermodels. Wait…no. That’s Leo DiCaprio. Sorry.

We know this isn’t easy, but it’s time to say goodbye to your 1993 Subaru. It’s older than you and basically made of duct tape at this point. Don’t worry, there are bigger, better (and shinier) cars waiting for you out there.

Remember last week when you tripped in front of that hot bartender and Alyssa caught you before you faceplanted?

That’s real love.

You need to learn to say no, Scorpio.

I know you just want everyone to be happy, but you volunteered for like five different events this week and you haven’t slept in days. Take care of yourself. Saying no isn’t always a bad thing.

You’ve been working so hard this semester. It’s time to treat yourself by going on a mini-vacation. Turn off your phone, drive up north, and enjoy the fresh air.

You taught your grandma how to use Facebook and now she’s messaging all of your friends. You know that cute girl from Psychology? She now knows about that accident you had in third grade.

Thanks, grandma.
