One Button Studio

Next time you have a video project assignment, you should film it using the One Button Studio in the Gateway Library. This resource will help your video look professional, and you will have access to a three-point light kit, shotgun microphone, and presentation computer. Best of all, you don’t need to have prior video experience to use this equipment, and anyone can use it! If you want to use this resource, you have to make a reservation at least one day in advance using this link. http://library.gmu.edu/onebutton

You Can Check Out Your Textbooks From the Library

Can’t find your textbook and need to do homework or study for a test? Don’t want to buy the textbook? No big deal! The library has a copy of most textbooks students currently use that you can check out for two hour periods. If nobody else needs to use it, you can extend the checkout. Be warned, though, if you turn it in late, there is a huge fine, and there are some regulations regarding what kind of textbooks they have available. You can read more about it here. http://library.gmu.edu/textselect

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
