Teal Tuesday... Everyday!

National Champs is only the beginning for us.

Teal Tuesday... Everyday!
Coastal Baseball

C-I... N-O!

Coastal Carolina IS number one. June 30th, 2016 CCU's Baseball team not only made it into the third game of the College World Series, but they WON. They are now National Champions, which makes the rest of us that attend Teal Nation incredibly proud and finally filled with the school spirit that we should have always had.


Winning this game is already leading to big changes for our beautiful school and I am predicting these to be the biggest changes we see...

1. Students will be actively participating in Teal Tuesday. As freshmen, when the concept was introduced to us, many thought it was silly, or childish. I've owned one CCU shirt since I received my acceptance letter and I only wore it on Tuesdays as an unconventional accident. All of that is different now... I am proud to be a Chanticleer and I will rep my teal proudly, on Tuesdays and any other day. I had a friend who attended the World Series games in Omaha pick up a shirt for me and I can't wait to wear it, with the big words "NATIONAL CHAMPS" across the front.

2. Student population will increase. Coastal was always a relatively small school that has recently been bringing in more and more students ever year. As of last fall, the total enrollment was at 10,263 students. They built a whole bunch of new dorm halls, making our campus even prettier, but something tells me fall 2016 will push us into building even more dorms. This win will bring in a lot of new students because we finally made national news.


3. CCU sports teams are only going to improve and get better. Like I said, we finally made national news, and in the sport world nonetheless. This will lead to more athletes applying and attending because of sports' teams recruiting. The star baseball player at your high school should consider the "small school in the south" because we are so much more than that. I mean, even Lil' Wayne gave us a shout out on Twitter!

4. Our S.C. rivals will finally respect us. We've never been as big as USC or Clemson. We've never been as good at sports as them and we were looked down on because of this. Their fraternities and sororities are bigger (and have houses), and everyone in the state is either a Clemson fan or USC fan, but now they're choosing to be a Coastal fan. Students from both schools actually cheered us on and celebrated our win! We're finally on the map, as you can see from below, and respected as a real college with real sports teams.

We are no longer the "Little Guys", the "Underdogs", or "Cinderella". We are no longer that easy little college in North Carolina – or was it South Carolina? People now know us. We have a reputations and we are more than what everyone has said about us.

Bring on football season, lets go CCU!!!

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.
