Habiba Soliman: UT Martin Homecoming Queen Nominee

Habiba Soliman is the homecoming representative for Zeta Tau Alpha. Bibi is what most of her college friends call her. She is from Cairo, Egypt and moved to the United States in 2010. She states, "It was a dramatic change and a cultural shock. It took me a while to realize that if I don't step outside my comfort zone, and seek for opportunities, I will achieve nothing".

From then until now, Bibi is now a senior communications major and will be graduating December 2016. She hopes to go to grad school at the University of Connecticut and pursue a degree in the M.A. Program in Communication. This program emphasizes the scientific study of human communication and behavior. She hopes that she will be able to fulfill her goals. If that does not work out, she says "I plan to stay in Tennessee and hopefully be a UT Martin recruiter while getting my degree in Leadership and Professional Practice".

Being nominated by the sorority chapter the individual is in, is a big deal for homecoming queen. That means that the chapter knows the individual is well known around campus and represents their school well. With that being said, she has been involved in many clubs along with ZTA which include: SOAR staff, Pep leader, and Undergraduate Alumni Council.

Bibi states, "It is a HUGE honor, that my chapter nominated and trusted me to represent ZTA". During homecoming week, the students on campus at UT Martin will vote for their homecoming queen. The winner will be announced at the football game on Saturday, Oct. 8.

UT Martin means a lot to her in many different ways. She says, "I have made an enormous amount of fantastic friendships because of UTM that I will forever cherish. I have made connections with outstanding faculty and staff. I am a forever and always PROUD Skyhawk!"

Being in a sorority, having work and then homecoming when you get done with a long day can be challenging at sometimes, but it does not phase Bibi. Bibi has worked throughout college along with having homework and being a Zeta Tau Alpha.

Bibi says, "I joined ZTA and everyone and everyone was incredibly welcoming and they all showed interest by knowing things about me. My friendships started expanding so rapidly, and my leadership skills were growing".

Bibi is highly spirited in everything that she does. She was the Zeta Risk Manager in 2014 and is now the New Member Educator. The new member educator is the one who helps all the new freshman members. They are the leader of all their meetings and helps make their freshman year easier by getting all the advice they need from the new member educator.

Homecoming is Oct. 8 and the winner will be announced during halftime. Bibi is Zeta Tau Alpha's nominee, will she have the vote from the student body, she will see.

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.
