Overheard at IU

Posted by Belle Kim

Here are some pearls of wisdom (?) from IU students all over campus this week.

“Why is it still winter? If it snows again tomorrow, I swear I’m going to quit.”

“Wait…we had a paper due today?”

“The way to a man’s heart is through the stomach. That’s still true today.”

“I’m going to name that squirrel Nubbins because its tail is all messed up.”

“Dude, my TA is really hot. Seriously, though. Sometimes, she’s the only reason I get up for that stupid 8am class.”

“I wish I could get paid to sleep.”

DIY: Retro Lampshades

Posted by Carmen Huff

Remember growing up how you would take your film to the drugstore to have your pictures developed and they would come back with negatives? Well, now you can do something with those old memories to light them up again!

All you need are some old film negatives and a lampshade. If you don’t have a lamp, or don’t have that many film negatives, you can also make a filmstrip candleholder.

  1. Get a plain lampshade or candleholder, Mod Podge and some film negatives.
  2. Using a sponge brush spread the glue onto the lampshade or candleholder on the outside.
  3. Take the film negatives and wrap them around the lampshade or candleholder. Make sure to measure how many rows you can fit on the shade or holder, so you can leave some room at the top and bottom if you need to.
  4. Seal it finished with another coat of Mod Podge.

Throwback Thursday: Celeb Edition

Posted by Christine Spasoff

I Google-imaged Throwback Thursday just now to get inspiration for this post. Guess which pictures came up the most in my search? Just guess!

None other than the Kardashians! Images on the beach, at soccer practice, and awkward family photos are all over the web. But while we can easily see what these Armenian reality TV stars (can they even be considered stars?) looked like long ago, what about other celebs? Feast your eyes. Ryan Gosling had to have an awkward stage just like the rest of us, right…? Yeah, probably not.

Ryan Gosling: Can't. Stop. So freakin' cute! Photo courtesy of moviecitizens.com.

Jennifer Lawrence: Remember when those long earrings and half-ponies were a thing? Photo courtesy of tumblr.com.

Blogs on Blogs: PR Insiders

Posted by Jackie Veling

No matter how certain you are of your career goals, there’s a good chance even the most prophetic college student has a few worries about what the future might hold.

Will I make enough money? How long will it take to get hired? Wait. Will I even get hired? Will I be happy with what I choose?

Being able to answer these questions without already being in the thick of it is a rarity. But alas, social media has once again shone upon us all and responded to another one of our woes. This is especially true if you’re looking into PR.

Recently, a variety of “insider” PR blogs have been popping up, detailing the behind-the-scenes action at some of the most elite fashion houses. Though you personally may not be interested in the rest of your life going down like a rerun of the Hills, each blog still gives some serious insight into what it’s like to work in PR, regardless of the type. Check them out and see if you made the right pick!

Throwback Thursday: The Shot Heard Around the World

Posted by Jackie Veling

Hopefully by now you’ve recovered from the two hours of sheer agony that was the IU v. Temple game this past Sunday. Along with high blood pressures and screamed profanities, we couldn’t help but think Oladipo’s game-securing, beautiful three point shot was a bit of a throwback to one fateful night in December.

Let’s face it: as dramatic as it may be, we all remember where we were when that ball left the hands of Hoosier Christian Watford, defeating the number one team in the country and announcing to anyone and everyone that Indiana Basketball was back. And if you were really lucky, you were right in the middle of the madness, one of the many red shirts that flocked to the center of the court to celebrate the last-second victory.

May we hope for the same stroke of fate against Syracuse tonight (though we wouldn’t complain either if it DIDN’T come down to the final possession…). Go Hoosiers!
