5 Reasons Why You Should Submit To Main Squeeze
SOU Student Press

Hello folks! Are you a writer? Are you looking for a place to publish your poems, short fiction, nonfiction, or art? Do you have writing friends who need to publish their work?

Well, SOU Student Press proudly present their first literary journal "Main Squeeze"!

"Main Squeeze" is the first literary journal published by Southern Oregon University Student Press and is the first publication by students for writers. They are "Original and unpublished submissions of nonfiction and fiction 1,500 words or less and poetry 200 lines or less."

If you're not sure about submitting your work, here are five reasons why you should!

1. Main Squeeze is looking for work that is unafraid "of being too humorous or too heartbreaking. Too beautiful or too ugly."

Don't be afraid to share your writing to a literary journal like Main Squeeze. Whether your stories and poems will be published or not, SOU Student Press encourages every writer to submit the work you are proud of.

2. They accept art submissions!

Along with writing submissions, SOU Student Press is accepting art submissions for their lit journal's cover. If you are an artist or know any artist, submit to Main Squeeze with the art before the deadline!

3. Two Things: Open Mic Night and Beyoncé's Lemonade.

SOU Student Press will be holding Freshly Squeezed: Open Mic, a fundraising event to raise money for future lit journals. Here you will have the chance to read your work. They will hold this event on May 10 and 24 at 6:30 p.m. Main Squeeze will also screen Beyoncé's visual album, "Lemonade."

4. Your writing matters.

SOU Student Press encourages writers to submit and share their work to readers. Who knows? If your writing gets accepted, there may be someone reading your story or poetry from Main Squeeze publications. It will be a wonderful feeling. Whether your work gets published on the first issue of Main Squeeze or in later publications, always remember: Your writing matters

5. As Shia LaBeouf puts it:

Do the thing!

The deadline to submit your work is May 15.

Submit your work (or tell your writing friends!) to their email at SOUStudentPress@gmail.com.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
