College is Still Strange

Let’s say I was going to make the “only buy games where you have the option to play as a woman” some kind of open challenge, and then made other challenges for books, movies, TV shows, and comics.

The Clothesline Project - “Walk in her shoes” / Strength Against Violence

Today I covered a student run event at Fullerton College in Southern California. The purpose of the event is to spread awareness of domestic violence, rape, and other serious issues that often go unreported and unacknowledged. 

T-Shirts bearing emotional messages hung from clotheslines, survivors gave powerful speeches, music resonated within the quad, and male students and faculty members walked the school wearing women’s shoes to show their support.

More photos from this event can be found HERE. 

Upon examining a Trojan Fire & Ice condom, I immediately noticed something was very wrong.

I love the parallels I’m finding between being a journalist and being an SA paraprofessional. 

As a present-day journalist, you’re everything: the writer, photographer, designer. I’m finding the same pattern in student affairs. Whether it’s creating a presentation, flyer or recruitment theme, you’re making something; you’re designing.

RADD Rewards ProgramAn Incentive Program for Designated Drivers

Here’s the baby I’m most proud of from fall semester: Harry Potter Week.

The absolutely flawless area government (AG) I advise pulled off six-days worth of Harry Potter activities in early November, bringing in more than 300 residents in our 500-person residence hall. 

The top two things we most definitely needed were dedication and bodies, aka people to help out.

Our goal for the week? Unite our hall’s residents by sorting them into Hogwarts houses and have them compete for the House Cup, which would be awarded at the end of the week.

First, my AG appointed “house captains” (residents from our hall) for each Hogwarts house, and they were in charge of putting up decorations in their designated halls. The most spirited/best decorated house would get an award at the end of the week, and that award would factor into total points for the House Cup.

Then, we had one big “work day,” where everyone in our AG — 20+ people — helped decorate for HP Week.

Fortunately, the Homecoming Parade fell the week before HP Week. Therefore, we were able to double-dip and make our homecoming float Harry Potter themed, giving us the chance to publicize HP Week and utilize some of our decorations (I was Dobby in the parade).

If you want a quick overview of what HP entailed, it was: start-of-the-term feast, potions class (mocktails), live Wizard’s Chess, the Tri-Wizard tournament, Quidditch and closing banquet. Overall, this cost us close to $2,000 for all food, materials, costumes, publicity, etc.

I designed some cool buttons for my school’s GSM + Allies club. We’re having a week long event where we’re teaching people the importance of respecting pronouns. Woohoo~
