Your fi rst job out of college is one of the most important steps on your career path. Getting a job is not as hard as you think, but you have to keep a positive and realistic attitude. Your approach to your job search is more important than your degree, GPA or resume. Here are fi ve tips to getting off your parents couch and getting the career of your choice:

• Monitor your online and social networking behavior just like you would if you had

a boss that could Google you at any moment.

• Fill your time and become more attractive to employers by furthering your education, obtaining certifi cations, or enrolling in specialized training programs.

• Set aside a designated period of time each day to search for jobs, make phone calls, network online, write cover letters, conduct informational interviews, etc.

• If you cannot get a job in your chosen fi eld, pursue internships or volunteer opportunities related to your fi eld.

• The days of mass submitting the same resume and cover letter are over. Tailor every cover letter to the job you are applying for. Mention something specifi c about the organization that you respect or recently learned about. Talk about how you would fi t with the company rather than stating that you would like to learn something from them.

Do’s• Treat fi nding a job like a job• Network! Network! Network!• Act professional, online and in person• Personalize every resume/cover letter and proofread!• Ask for help and introductions

Don’ts• Fear rejection• Not apply because of one requirement• Blame the economy• Be too proud to intern or volunteer• Give up or have a negative attitude

To learn more about these and other career tips, check out Christine’s video, presented by American Express:

MUST-HAVE ALBUMS

Christine HasslerCHRISTINEHASSLER.COM

Diamond, Don’t Lose Your Cool EPIf you still drive around jamming Jimmy Eat World’s old school hits, then this is your new go-to album. With catchy melodies and fun guitar riffs, Diamond really hits the spot if you’re in the mood for some down-to-earth melodic rock. This band will take you back to a time when college guys who wore sweat-ers on stage and worked boring day jobs ruled the rock world, and we all miss those times.

Various Artists, Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 4It’s always interesting to see where scream-o bands put their growls and howls in these per-fectly pop songs, but, man, they always put them right where I want them. Once again, the Pop Goes brand has put out an addicting, better-than-the-orig-inal album that you’ll be showing off to your friends in no time. “Hey man, check out this SWEET version of Taylor Swift’s You Belong With Me... it’s manly ‘cause there are drums and man-noises.”

Hot Chelle Rae, WhateverWith their main fan base between the ages of Dis-ney and pre-teen, most of us haven’t heard of (or re-fuse to listen to) pop-rock boys Hot Chelle Rae, but their infectious lyrics and electric sound will hook you. Sometimes a little cheesy pop goes a long way. Songs like I Like it Like That are the kind you’ll be jamming in your room while you get ready…but not when your friends are around to judge you.

Audra Mae and The Almighty Sound, EPEveryone is obsessed with voices like Adele and Amy Winehouse these days, and Audra Mae fi ts right in with the best. Her raspy voice brings you in right at the beginning with a sassy start to Ne’er Do Wells and keeps you completely entranced all the way to the fun and raunchy I Won’t Grow Up. If you’re get-ting tired of Adele turn-ing up out of the blue, replace 21 with this EP and you won’t regret it.

#MULTIHAPPENS

Back to school again... During the fall semester you busted your butt the whole week of fi nals be-cause you didn’t any oth-er time b4 that week. It’s cool, it Happens. Spring is here and now you have three important things to look forward to: Spring Break, Easter, and summer break.

1. Get a study buddy. Not a real one. More like a FWB (friend w/ ben-efi ts) who takes notes.

2. If you haven’t planned Spring Break, do it yesterday—it’s already here.

3. Exercise or Sex-ercise. Either way you need to get in shape. If the gym isn’t for you, try the bedroom.

4. Study BREAK-UP. Last thing you need go-ing into Spring/Summer break is a ball and chain.

5. Stack some cash, specifi cally money for drinks and little red party cups. (Borrow-ing and not buying text books helps.)

So here’s the #MultiHappens:

What can I say—nothing says Editor-in-Chief like aviators, pursed lips and gang signs. And I strive for professionalism. Really though, I am beyond stoked to have this job. I remember once when I was younger my mom lost me in the grocery store. When she found me, I wasn’t feasting on gumdrops and licorice in the candy aisle; I was more interested in eye candy, and she discovered me plopped down in the frozen food section with a pile of magazines I had swiped from the checkout line. I’m still fascinated

by the glossy pages of killer magazines, and I still spend hours devouring articles and drooling over photos (although today I choose more socially acceptable places to do it). Now I’m fortunate enough to have been given the opportunity to live my passion—to not only read magazines but to edit one. I guess dreams do come true, eh?

But enough about me; Study Breaks is about you. Because our goal is to create something each month to offset the monotony of class and the stress of exams, something you look forward to that makes you laugh. Something more interesting than ECO-101 or whatever. That said, I want to know what you think. If you love something, tell me. If you hate something, tell me. We’re making a magazine about students, for students, and that…well, that would be you.

And if you’re really fi red up, fi nd me downtown and give me a piece of your mind. Maybe I’ll buy you a drink. (Note: I probably won’t buy you a drink.)

You Asked...

Katie CoonCampus Ambassador

Sam, What’s your favorite part of winter?

-Sara Crowley

My favorite part about winter has got to be, without doubt, less sweating. I love being able to pile on the layers--scarves, tights, ponchos (don’t judge)--without dripping, Shaq-like, within � ve minutes of step-ping outside. Guys somehow manage to look hotter (zing!) post-perspiration. Guys and I do not have that in common.

Katie, if you could be on a game show then which one would it be?

– Joshua Johnson

I am a huge fan of game shows;they always seem to amaze me with all the useless facts that the contestants seem to know. � at is why the game show I would choose to be on would be Cash Cab! I am always playing the game when it comes on TV to see how much money I could win if it was me. I seem to be full of random and odd facts, and I hope that I end up on it and I visit New York.

Ngoc, When should I start planning for Spring Break? - Whitney Swales

It’s never too early to plan for Spring Break! Starting right now would give you plenty of time to research all the places you can go. At this time you can get the best prices for hotels and beach houses. Once you get your research on lock, you can start asking your friends to make the trip with you. By February you will have your trip planned rather than planning it all last minute! Have fun guys!

Ryan, With a new semester, what are you looking forward to the most?

- David Devers

2012 is going to bring a lot of new things. For starters I’m really stoked to road trip to the East Coast this summer. I’ll be checking out Washington DC and possibly traveling to Cambodia for a student internship credit. I also turn 21 in April. I’ve already started a list of clubs and bars to explore when the clock strikes midnight. Can’t wait to RAGE.

Just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be another music fest-type thing in Austin... there totally is. Taking place the first week of January, Free Week started at Emo’s and has spread to other Red River venues, on to the east side and beyond. Just as the name implies, Free Week is a magical time when these venues drop the covers and let you in for free to enjoy great local bands and a smattering of national acts. It’s a great chance to catch to some local talent you might’ve missed, as well as get a feel for the different venues around town. As of this writing, the 2012 Free Week lineup remains shrouded in mystery, but as always, we’ll break it all down for you on Do512.com. Just know it will be awesome, and more importantly, free!

It’s been two years since I � rst interviewed Branden Rex of hip hop group Park N Murray,

and although some things haven’t changed (he’s got the same afro, tattoo collection and a� nity for…umm…going green), most things have—primarily the composition and genre of the group itself. � e name and two of the members are about all that’s left of the original Park N Murray, a band that com-bined instruments, rap and melo-dies for a Shwayze-like sound. But the music business doesn’t provide instant grati� cation, and a few too many days of fruitlessly pounding the pavement and play-ing shows for a handful of people led to a few of the members call-ing it quits and a total renovation of the group’s dynamic and sound. For the better, naturally.

New and ImprovedPark N Murray is now a three-man show, featuring front man (and self-proclaimed sex god) Rex, 23; his brother, Damien Kyle—aka Daytime, 22; and Ben Buerman, 23, the newest mem-

ber of the group. � eir sound is hard to describe, Rex says, but old school hip hop would prob-ably be the easiest way to put it, with lyrics that betray Rex’s po-etic past. However, it’s the catchy choruses in party anthems like “Toast to the Good Life” that re-ally get the crowd going—espe-cially at the hip hop night Park N Murray hosts at Bat Bar in Austin every Monday, featuring an eclectic ensemble of both solo artists and groups on the rise. It was actually through these eve-nings that a clique of sorts was formed, a group of eight acts that have dubbed themselves Calm Child and are currently planning a spring tour. “Everyone is tryin’ to do that solo shit and it’s getting them nowhere,” Rex explains the reasoning behind the collabora-tion. “So we � gure…if two heads are better than one, then for sure 13 are better than two.”

So LAMELaying low—for now—in the underground rap scene, Park N Murray operates under a simple

philosophy they call LAME (Letting All of Me Escape). “Lame is just our way of showing individuality. A lot of norms and trends � oat around and most of it just tells people what to do,” Rex says. “� at shit is stupid, so we do what we want and say if it ain’t cool and being myself isn’t cool, then I’ll be lame.”

And though resisting the siren call of mainstream music may present ob-stacles, for Rex, it’s the struggle that’s his moti-vation. “If I really think about it, it’s the best ‘cause the outcome of the grind will feel so deserved,” he said. “I wrote one line in a song that said ‘All the pieces are gonna � t to the puzzle...� nding where they � t is the beautiful struggle.’”

ORGANIZATIONHOTwords: allison asbury photos provided by: longhorn hellraisers

You watch them at UT games, you see them on ESPN, you hear them chanting “OU can lick my balls!” whenever they march to the stadium. � ey paint their chests with the letters T-E-X-A-S and they wear tattered jeans and white oxfords. � ey are the Long-horn Hellraisers, and they have more school spirit than you’ve ever dreamed of.

� e Longhorn Hellraisers combine sports fanatics along with people who love to show o¤ their love for the Univer-sity of Texas and, of course, their hate for Oklahoma. You can spot them at any UT sporting event—just look for the people painted up in or-ange and white, singing “� e Eyes of Texas” and intimidat-ing opponents of UT. Hell-raisers is open to anyone who likes sporting events, only

roots for the home team and, most importantly, drinks!

� e Hellraisers attend all football games, even the away games. Each home basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, tennis and soccer game you can be sure to � nd members of the Hellraisers yelling and waving their rally towels in the air. Members create a high level of enthusiasm amongst crowd members. � is fan-crazed sensation is infectious for anyone sitting close to the group, and be-fore too long the chants of the Hellraisers have spread around the stadium and you can hear the echoed “Texas, Fight” for miles. Hellraiser members put their horns up with pride, knowing that, win or lose, they will always have something to celebrate: Being a longhorn!

KAREN BROWNWhat is the meaning behind your bar’s name? Republic Live means a place for people to come together and share a great time listening to live music. What kind of people do you normally fi nd walking into your bar? Republic Live is the best venue downtown! All ages, 18-89, come to enjoy our huge dance � oor with its awesome light shows and the best DJ’s in town.

What is your favorite thing about the bar? Republic Live is always full of many di¤ erent people, but they all come back for the same reason: � e sta¤ ! I love coming to work and having a team of friends. Emillo is an excellent manager and everyone looks out for each other. � at’s something you don’t � nd at many bars. Why should people go to your bar instead of others? Because of me! And the best dance party around.

What is the best tip you have ever received? $200 What is the craziest thing you’ve ever seen at your bar? Last night, I saw a giant purple teletubby! How does one properly hit on you at the bar?Honestly, I hate being hit on at work. It’s too loud and I’m too busy.

Where will you be in ten years? I like life to be a surprise and I love that I don’t know. I would love to � nish school and have a house, but as far as what I’ll be doing, I just can’t say. If a customer was being rude and obnoxious, you would probably: Spit in their drink? Substitute Taaka for top shelf? Forget the alcohol altogether?I try not to let people get to me and remain professional when possible, but if you always forget to tip, I just might forget you’re waiting for a re� ll. Favorite Shot?

once you see your guy or girl and plant a big one. Tongue is optional. (But, hell, totally encouraged.)

Some of us will fi nd this dilemma quite familiar: You and your signifi cant other are separated by thousands of miles and sometimes the only way to see them is by buying an airplane ticket—those things don’t come cheap. But lo and behold, that highly anticipated day will come where you fi nally fall back into each other’s arms. Making long distance relationships work is no small feat and it’s a few days before your sweetheart arrives when you think that—damn—these grandma panties and sink full of dirty dishes probably won’t cut it for him. Guys, as for you…don’t think we’re oblivious your manscaping. Still clueless? Follow these 10 steps to getting your sexy back.

THINGS TO DO BEFORE YOUR BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND VISITS

6

54

Do a 7-day DietComplete our 7-day Bikini Diet and lose ten pounds in seven days! Find the diet and recipes in our march 2011 issue archived at studybreaks.com. Disregard if your signifi cant other likes ‘em thick and juicy—then perhaps opt for the 7-day mcdonald’s diet.

Get waxed (girls)Places like European Wax Center do everything from bikini line to fully-body to brazilian. Never been waxed before? Let your esthetician know, and she’ll walk you through it to make the experience as painless as possible. (Note: There will still be pain.)

Do some manscaping (guys)Gentlemen, do your girlfriend a favor. If

you don’t like to fi ght the jungle down there, what makes you think girls would?

Stock the fridgeIn this waver-ing economy, don’t feel pres-sured to take your signifi cant other out to the

newest swanky restaurant. A home-cooked meal is not only more wallet-friendly but romantic as well. Girls, your guy will adore you when he opens the fridge to a six-pack of his favorite beer.

Scope out local events Catch a concert or attend a wine tasting that wine and spirit stores occasionally offer (sometimes even for free!). Or run around and play house in ikea like the scene from 500 Days of Summer for a fun afternoon activity. Going about town doesn’t mean breaking the bank.

Tease it up Send a picture message of something sweet or naughty to heighten the anticipation for the arrival. Some may see this as tasteless or setting yourself

up for disaster since you never know what fl oats around on the internet (cough—Brett Favre—cough), but this can be done in good taste.

Get your roommates’ approvalShare a room with someone or have roommates? Make sure you get the A-okay before you have guests stay over. Boyfriend,

girlfriend or not, it’s common courtesy. There’s nothing worse than the awkward walk-in from a roommate when you’re…umm…busy.

Get your homework done beforehandGet ahead in schoolwork so that fi nishing up that history paper is the least of your worries. Scrambling to fi nish a forgotten homework assignment will take time

away from a relaxing weekend with your

boo and add unwanted stress and distraction. World war II is the opposite of an aphrodisiac.

Eat healthy on the day of arrival There’s nothing sexy about feeling bloated from greasy food when, after months of separation anxiety, your boyfriend or girlfriend pounces on you.

your guy will adore you when your guy will adore you when


HOTTER

Getting TestedIf you haven’t done this already and you’re not exactly the Virgin Mary reincarnate, get it together. Go get yourself and your potential infections to a clinic ASAP, because while responsibility is a total turn-on—Chlamydia? Ehh…not so much.

Testing Your LuckNothing’s sexier than safety. The Chinese may have dubbed 2012 the Year of the Dragon, but let’s go ahead and revise that. Year of the Trojan, anyone?

HOT

NOT

The ball has dropped and you…well, you’ve dropped the ball. You may have forgotten to partake in the most important (yet often overlooked due to hangovers and a lack of ambition) New Year’s tradition, but never fear— it’s not too late. So here they are, our resolution recs. Better late than never, eh?

HOT NOTORwords: sam sumpter photos: press

Losing That Last 5 LbsWe’ll ignore the fact that this has been your New Year’s resolution every year since you hit puberty. Your unwavering ambition is still impressive (though clearly your success rate isn’t).

Writing A Book (Or, You Know, Not.)You know how you’ve been tossing around the idea of writing a memoir for years? Well, let’s be real—no one wants to read that shit. Buy a pair of glasses, take your MacBook to Starbucks and pretend to write a book. That’s hot too.

Learning To Speak A Different Language You only need a few key phrases, really. There is no one—no one!—who isn’t at least mildly aroused by someone crooning sweet nothings in their ear in a romance language. And the best part? You can’t be offensive if you don’t even know what you’re saying.

Making Your Boyfriend/ Girlfriend Lose That Last 5 LbsIf they wanted to be judged, they’d be single. Literally and figuratively, embrace the bulge.

Quitting SmokingNot only is it bad for you, it’s bad for everyone around you. Would you give a baby a beat down? Punt a puppy? Exactly, so stop sucking down cancer sticks in public. Your lungs and the general public will thank you.

Writing A Tell-All Blog It’s the age of the Internet, and if the first Google result for your name is a blog chronicling your sexcapades and resulting walks of shame, you might

want to consider developing an online alias. Well, only if you have any hopes

for a career at—like—any point in your life.

Learning To Cook

Foreign Food Let’s be real—the way to everyone’s heart (and ergo into their pants) is through their stomach, so break out the apron and get your Gordon Ramsay on. Because really, what’s hotter than hell’s kitchen?

Ending Your Relationship In A Shitty WayLet’s make this clear: There is nothing more cowardly than doing the deed via text, or worse—FACEBOOK. “It’s not you, it’s me” is douchey enough without the sad emoticon.

Quitting Smoking… And Taking Up DippingBecause the one thing more offensive than secondhand smoke is watching someone hack tobacco-infused lugies into a Dasani bottle.

NOT

4 Ending Your Shitty RelationshipIf you’re fighting more than you’re having fun, your friends have stopped taking your calls and you’ve dedicated Monday (and Tuesday and Wednesday) nights to rage-induced binge drinking, it’s time to kick that fool to the curb.

HOW TO...words: michelle blam photos: press

BECOME HANDY WITH PHOTOSHOP

Many a priceless moment has been edited with a sim-ple “crop” or iPhoto’s handy “retouch” button; whole beer can logos or infamous red Solo cups can be blurred or darkened if they’re sim-ply in the background of a good picture. The empha-sis here also rests on “good picture” – editing skills don’t stand up to you passed out on the fl oor or using the toi-let seat as a headrest. Do your best not to overshare party pictures—especially of this nature.

PRIVACY SETTINGS ARE YOUR FRIENDS

Thanks to the Web, the whole “Big Brother is watch-ing you” thing is coming creepily close to the truth, so take precautions and use social media privacy settings to your advantage. New ad-ditions to Facebook allow you to screen certain parts of your page to specifi c peo-ple – as a blanket rule, limit-ing visibility of tagged pho-tos to any friends over the age of 30 might be a smart

idea. Wall posts by friends can be good to eliminate as well; drunk posting always sounds especially entertain-ing in the hazy moment, but Aunt Mable and the guy in-terviewing you next week probably don’t think so.

USE DISCRETION

You want to appear happy, social and reasonably lev-elheaded when it comes to your social media page – and hopefully, in real life, you are! Granted, we have all had our bad days and defi nitely a moment or two when we partied too hard, but photos or posts display-ing these kinds of things are most likely a no-no. That snap of you and your dad enjoying wine over the holi-days? Probably okay. That picture of you from Spring Break, inebriated and show-ing off… umm… every tan line? Absolutely not okay.

BEWARE OF YOUR ENDORSEMENTS

I can’t imagine much would be worse than an employer scrolling through an info page to check educational history and discovering that their job candidate “likes” 2,589 pages of things rang-ing from “LOLCats” to “That moment when you wake up to a text from him and you know it’s meant to be…” This “like” feature can be espe-cially helpful if you subscribe to volunteer organizations, local businesses, or general causes you believe in, but let’s keep any obsessions with felines and romantic cli-

chés to ourselves, shall we?

We’ve all been warned by professors, bosses, and parents alike: drunken Facebook posts and booze-fi lled photos will earn you a one-way ticket to unemployment and hopelessness (ok, maybe that’s a stretch). But while educational enrichment and a meaningful occupation are important goals for a college student, there’s no way we’re giving up Thirsty Thursday or our digital cameras fi lled with memories we don’t actually remember. Here’s the Study Breaks’ guide to (semi-)censoring your social media.

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

SOUTH PADRE ISLAND

INERTIA TOURS

Too soon? Never. Sure it’s hard to imagine frolicking in the surf, beer in your hand and future hook-up on your arm, when the only things on your mind are staying warm and not failing your fi rst exam, but time fl ies and before you know it, March will be here. You’re already destined for inevitable disap-pointment when you mess up your midterms; don’t screw up Spring Break too.

Fortunately, planning the per-fect trip isn’t as diffi cult as ac-ing your anatomy exam—es-pecially when you book with Texas-based Inertia Tours. In-ertia guarantees you’ll have a fabulous time you’ll always (or, more likely, never) remember.For $259-$275 per person, all your bases are covered for a fi ve-day, four-night trip to epic

Spring Break locale, South Pa-dre Island. And—even better—meals are included, so when you blow your last couple bucks on a half-dozen forties, you’re not destined for a week of Ramen noodles. (Good luck trying to cook those on the beach, anyways.) Inertia even throws in a $30 gas fi ll-up card per room so your tank is cov-ered one way.

Don’t procrastinate. You’ve got Christmas money on hand, so book with Inertia and spend the next few months daydreaming in class about babes, bros, biki-nis, and mayhem on the beach. Bumpin’ and grindin’, beer bongs and hot tub hook-ups….it’s just what Grandma had in mind when she wrote you that check.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR SPRING BREAK?

ARRIVE EARLY-You’re not going to meet your boyfriend/girlfriend of the week playing king’s cup at your condo. Beat the lines—and often times pay a lower cover—by getting there earlier.

DON’T BE CHEAP- With a deal this good, the “I’m broke” excuse isn’t applicable. You don’t have to go for the Grey Goose, but ix-nay on the aaka-Tay, aight?

OPT FOR THE HOUSE SPECIAL- Why deliberate over drinks when the bar is straight-up telling you what they do best. (The Whammy at Louie’s Backyard, for instance.) It’s usually larger, stronger and cheaper. That’s what you call a triple threat.

DON’T GO TO THE SAME CLUB EVERY NIGHT- Yes you had “THE BEST TIME EVER!” there the night before, but with infi nite options, why limit yourself to one venue?

LEAVE YOUR CELL AT HOME- Chillin’ on your phone all night isn’t hot, and there’s no bigger buzz kill than when you inevitably lose it at the club. If you wanna get some babe’s number, do it the old-fashioned way—write it down. GET THE BARTENDER’S NAME AND TIP WELL IMMEDIATELY – First impressions are everything, and if the bar is packed, guess who’s going to get served fi rst?

PRE-GAME- Your trip to the bar will be cheaper, and it’s a great excuse to invite that hottie from the beach to your place. “Hey baby, I’ve got a bottle of Absolut with your name on it…” (Note: Try a less douchebag-y line.) DON’T BE A DICK- This will usually get you kicked out of the bar or, worse, behind bars. Jail is not where you want your Spring Break hook-up to occur.

FIGURE OUT YOUR SURROUNDINGS- Take a second when you arrive at the club to scout out the bars and anticipate which one will be the least crowded later. You’ll look totally pro—and VIP— when you know where to go for the quickest rounds.

DON’T DRINK TOO MUCH- While drinking is fun, throwing up is not. Plus you don’t want to be too hungover and miss out on daytime shenanigans like the Coke Beach Stage or the new Malibu Beach at Clayton’s because you got too drunk and krunk the night before.

MIXED DRINKS

words: sam sumpterphotos by: shelley godfrey A

t � rst glance, it would be easy for a stranger to stick Mandie in the “bimbo” box. Five feet tall, probably 95 lbs soaking wet, and blessed with classic

blonde-haired, blue-eyed, all-American good looks, it’s understandable the jealousy the tiny beauty would inspire. But unfortunately for the haters, the second you were to meet her, you’d be proved completely wrong. Not only is the 22-year-old Texas State student smart (she’s majoring in psychology with a minor in biology and counts bio-engineering plants as one of her hobbies), but she’s also irresistibly nice with a wicked sense of humor and a sur-prising tattoo collection. Oh, and she could probably kick your ass. (Yes, you heard that right—she does martial arts.)

Study in contrasts Spend � ve minutes with the bundle of en-ergy that is Mandie Wilson, and you’ll realize there’s no simple way to describe our cover girl except, perhaps, to say just that: � ere’s no easy way to describe her. Well, maybe you could say she’s a walking contradiction: A Texas native and self-described “country girl” who has done barrel racing and used to ride horses, she also spent some time (in � ve-inch heels, for the record) as a club promoter in downtown Houston. She was a high school cheerleader and also the captain of her high school wrestling team. (See aforementioned ass-kicking comment.) She cites her favorite book as Gerald N. Callahan’s Faith, Madness and Spontaneous Human Combustion: What Immunology Can Teach Us About Self-Percep-tion and her favorite movie as Gremlins. She paints and sketches in her free time, but she also has a passion for neuroscience and bot-any. She loves chocolate and margaritas, but she runs at least seven miles most days. She uses (mild) profanity in one paragraph of her

emails, and casually tosses Latin phrases into the next. She’s down-to-earth, but she has big dreams. “I don’t see why you have to sacri� ce your passions to � t in an easily readable box,” she says. Let that be a lesson to us all.

Back in the dayIt seems redundant, but eclecticism is the theme of her story (which not only makes her interesting to talk to, but nearly impossible to write about, by the way), and it’s the perfect word to describe her past as well. As noted above, in high school she was both a varsity cheerleader and the captain of the wrestling team, which is especially interesting since most wouldn’t imagine the small, peppy girl with the giant smile whose instructing you to Be aggres-sive, be, be aggressive would be the same one you’d be circling with on the mat before a grapple that would most likely end up with her pinning you down for a one, two, three count. In addition to her athletic past in high school, she has also had quite an interesting employ-ment history. Her entry photo, a picture she readily admits is “head-on-boobs” (and garnered her over � ve thousand votes in the contest), can be explained by one of her past jobs. “I’m generally a ‘good girl’ but I came o� as pretty wild when I worked as a promoter for various clubs in Houston,” she explains. And it’s true that it’s easy to imagine peo-ple � ocking into clubs when approached by such a friendly and outgoing girl, but it wasn’t the perfect scenario for Mandie. “It was awesome when you had a good conversation with people you were meet-ing, but it was lousy when you bumped

into creeps. � e hours were awful but the pay was good. All in all it wasn’t really worth it, it was always downtown and it’s not exactly the most crime-free part.” (Apparently even high school wrestling doesn’t ensure safety on the dirty streets.) Alongside that job, Mandie had one at a tanning salon, a gig that illustrates her hard-working tendencies as she worked her way up from what was essentially “cleaner of ass sweat” to manager, even overseeing the ownership change. Her resume also demon-strates that she took the time to work in the unpaid arena (that would be something called philanthropy, kids) with her work as a hostess for Riders for Readers, an organization that pairs equestrian activities with fundraising for schools.

Take one look at Amanda Wilson (she prefers Mandie), and you can see she’s a bombshell. Listen to her speak, and you know she’s an intellectual. Meet her in person and...well, prepare to fall in love.

From cheering to wrestling to barrel racing, Mandie has always been a multidimen-sional dynamo.

FLASHBACK

Mandie at age 3

Country girl at heart

Cheer senior year ‘06-’07 Morton Ranch High School

Wrestling days in high-school ‘06-’07 senior year

“I really appreciated how it taught me about humility and charity,” she says. “Half the time I was dressed classy and the other half I was in rags getting horse poo and mud o� things; it didn’t really matter because I knew I was con-tributing to an important cause. Education is so important.” And it’s not hard to imagine someone who waxes nostalgic about the times of celebrity scien-tists like Albert Einstein and Ma-rie Curie and dreams of becoming a professor prioritizing education.

Flower ChildLet it be known that it’s not all work and no play for Mandie, but when she lists her hobbies, while all are interesting and some are understandable, some…well, some are just unexpected—bio-engineering plants, for example. “� e reason I’m into bio-engi-neering glowing plants isn’t be-cause I’ve watched Avatar too many times,” she promises. “I want to make the world a beauti-ful place and make people smile—who doesn’t love � owers?—but I know how to make it a major eco-nomical enterprise that wouldn’t hurt the environment.” And the girl is pure encyclo-pedia on the subject, explaining patiently that there are several ways to generate luminosity in plants involving GFP’s (that’s green � uorescent proteins), gold particles and gene insertion, and that when it hits marketable sta-tus it will make a huge mark on what she says is a 36 billion dollar ornamental plant industry. “� ere are several plants and plant-like organisms that already are luminescent; I think the key however will be gene-insertion and ampli� cation of gene expres-sion,” she says con� dently in a language we’ll dub Braniac.Yeah…just go with it.

And the winner is…Like you wouldn’t typically expect a cover girl to be able to read an EEG (that’s Electroencephalog-raphy—obviously) report, you wouldn’t typically expect someone who dabbles in neuroscience to enter a cover girl contest. “To be honest, I entered the contest on a whim; I didn’t have

any expectations,” she says, ex-plaining that she told a few friends about it sheepishly. But as votes came in slowly at � rst, by the second day they were pouring in, and the cover girl dream became a potential reality as the idea that winning was achievable sunk in. “I think I thought it would be neat,” she explains. “I’m a pret-ty odd girl. I’ve got some stories and characteristics you wouldn’t expect to be in one person, and I kind of hope that makes someone else who feels atypical feel like they’re special too.”

On the HorizonWith a million di� erent things going on in the present and a past that’s just as diversi� ed, it’d be dif-� cult or nearly impossible to guess our cover girl’s plans for the future (WWE star…Nobel Prize-win-ner…rabbit trainer…?), and when asked, Mandie seems to have about as vague an idea. “I’m just going to roll with the punches and see how my experi-ences mold me; I like general plans but I have a lot more living to do,” she says. “I just want to be happy and explore life. I aim to be suc-cessful but I wouldn’t mind making the world a little more beautiful…I want to help others by sharing knowledge.” Her undergraduate degree just � nished o� , with grad school plans and countless aspirations, it’s hard to imagine where she’ll end up in � ve, 10 or 15 years, but while she describes her dream job as profes-sor of psychology or biology, there is one career she mentions that seems like the perfect � t. “I always thought it would be cool to have a TV show called Sexy Science,” she reveals. “It would talk about science news and how things work… sort of like Bill Nye but more MANswers. I wouldn’t mind being the hostess on that.” But while she has big dreams for the future, as of press time she was perfectly content with enjoy-ing the present. “My brain is so fried from � nals and the stress of graduating and starting a new job,” she admits. “I can’t wait for New Year’s so I can let my hair down.”

I’m a pretty odd girl. I’ve got some stories and characteristics you wouldn’t expect to be in one person, and I kind of hope that makes someone else who feels atypical feel like they’re special too.

COVER GIRL RUNNERS-UPAll the Cover Girl Contest applicants were lovely, but there were a few that stood out as particularly interesting and, well, we couldn’t bear to leave them out. With looks, ambition and some unique hobbies (or even pets—Sequoia’s duck, for example), these ladies aren’t just eye candy.

SEQUOIA OWENS:

The Animal Lover

Age: 20

Major/School: Mass Communications at Texas State University

Hometown: Alvin

Twitter: PartyWeav

Relationship status: Single and on the prowl

Turn-ons: Tan, muscles. white teeth, great smile and fresh breath along with a sassy personality

Turn-offs: Pasty skin and BORING PEOPLE

Career aspirations: Once I get my advertising career going at Southwest Airlines’ advertising division, it would be a dream of mine to start my own charity for third world countries as far as clean water, food and shelter.

Hobbies: Horseback riding, jet skiing, wakeboarding, working out, tanning, saltwater fi shing, dove hunting and hanging out with my besties!

On the weekends: Tearing apart Austin’s night life, studying, and dirt biking, as well as making a splash in Lake Travis and church on Sundays.

In 10 years: I see myself employed by Southwest airlines, being on a reality TV show, and I don’t think I’ll have the time or patience for starting my own family. I’m thrilled to be where I am for the time being!

One word that describes you: Crafty, because I sometimes am a one-liner designer and like separating myself from the herd; I’m a cow of a different color.

Fun Fact: I’m Italian

The perfect “Study Break”: Besides the Study Breaks magazine, I indulge in chocolate while watching the Real Housewives, and I like to pretend I’m them sometimes.

Celebrity doppelganger: Demi Moore. I mean call me Demi, I want Moore!

Hidden talents: I play the Trumpet and I am currently starting my own spray tanning business on the Texas State campus!

Career aspirations: One day I want to be the next Erin Andrews on ESPN.

Hobbies: I have started picking up photography and painting in my spare time. I am no Picasso, by any means, but I really enjoy being creative.

On the weekends: During the summer I would spend a lot of my time wakeboarding on Lake Austin. Now that it is getting colder out, I have to fi nd something else to occupy my time. When I am not bartending at the Ranch on West 6th Street, I like to go out with my girls! Sunday Funday brunch is always a must at the end of a great weekend.

One word that describes you: Spontaneous, because I am always living on the edge. I never know what shenanigans I will get myself into, and I am not scared to be adventurous. My life keeps me on my toes and I love it!

Fun Fact: When I was younger I played baseball and football. I was like Ice Box in the movie Little Giants.

The perfect “Study Break”: My idea of the perfect study break is doing some hot yoga followed by a visit to Whole Foods. Yoga helps me clear my mind and eliminates my stress. As for Whole Foods, well… who DOESN’T love that place?!

Celebrity doppelganger: I’ve had people tell me that I look like Famke Janssen. She was Jean Grey in X-Men & the mom in Taken.

Hidden talents: I can walk on my hands. Not very far, but it’s a defi nitely a conversation starter!

People would be surprised to know: I am VERY accident-prone. I am always falling down, running into things, and just injuring myself in general. Nothing as serious as broken bones, but I do have a lot of scars with some pretty funny stories behind them.

Tell us about yourself:I am a senior, double majoring in English (UTeach) and Anthro-pology at UT. I also work two jobs so my schedule can get pretty chaotic, but in my spare time I’m

usually � nding new things to try. Lately I’ve been getting into rock climbing.How do you like living on your own?Like every other col-lege student every-where, I love living on my own. � ough, since I’ve moved out of my folk’s place I certainly have not felt

alone. When I � rst moved to Austin, I moved into the Pearl Street Cooperative and was sur-rounded by another 100 crazy students like me. Best decision I ever made!What is one item in your room that best describes you?I’m not sure any one item could be re� ective of me, but if I had to choose my favorite thing in my

room, it’s the map I created out of old National Geo-graphic magazines. It was the � rst DIY project I ever attempted and it has turned my dreary dorm room walls into a place that feels more like home. What do you like best about living away from your parents?Having the complete free-dom to come and go as I please.

What is one thing you wouldn’t live without in your apartment?My obese kitty, Simon. What was your inspiration for decorating your room?I’ve always liked a vintage look, and I just try to � nd eclectic pieces that speak to me. I love walking around antique shops like Uncommon Objects and getting inspired.How do you like living with roommates?I’ve had good roommates, and also not so good roommates. � at doesn’t discourage me though; liv-ing with di¤ erent personalities re-quires learning patience and com-promise. You pick your battles! When setting boundaries, what are some you discussed with your roommates?� e only real issues I’ve had with roommates have involved people not doing their dishes or not re� lling a Brita pitcher. Oddly enough, I’ve heard those senti-ments echoed by my friends with their roommates. Apparently the almighty Brita pitcher can be a real deal breaker for some people. Just take a look at passiveaggres-sivenotes.comHow close are you to campus? How do you like that?I am the closest I have ever been to school right now. I live in Har-ris Park, and nothing is better than a 30-second bike ride to campus or a minute walk to JP’s Java. But it de� nitely makes � nd-ing an excuse to not go to class a little more di� cult!

Lauren Cooney, 21Major: AnthropologyHometown: Cedar Hill

Making a place feel like home can be a diffi cult task—especially when you’re busy trying to balance two majors, two jobs and time for yourself. But Lauren Cooney, a senior double majoring in English and Anthropology, has taken the time between class, work and—as of recently—bouts of rock climbing, to truly personalize her space. With a National Geographic wallpaper job, funky antiques and a cer-tain fat feline roaming around, her bedroom is anything but boring.

MANAGINGTHE NEW YEAR’S

STRESS

PLACEYOUR words:sheyna webster photos: press

VOLUNTEER

Focusing on others will help you forget about what’s driving you nuts and add some posi-tive energy into your life. Vol-unteer at a local soup kitchen or animal shelter (because who doesn’t relax when rolling around in puppies?) to give back to the community and take a break from the books.

MANAGINGTHE NEW YEAR’S

STRESSA Few Tips For Starting Your Semester Off The Right Way.Finals are over and you can fi nally put the fall semester behind you. You got everything you wanted for Christmas (or you bought it with the money Grandma gave you), rang in 2012 with your best friends, and snagged that kiss at mid-night. Life seems to be fl oating along pretty smoothly, but with the holidays dragging behind you and a shiny new semester in front of you, stress is right around the corner. Managing stress is

never easy, but with some tips and tricks you can avoid caffeine-induced panic attacks in the middle of the night over registration, papers and fi rst deadlines, etc. The fi rst set of exams is always the hardest (or at least the one you seem to be least-prepared for), so here are a few ways to keep your head level and your workload manageable so that you don’t totally fail at accomplishing those New Year’s resolutions.

GET ORGANIZED AHEAD OF TIME

Everyone starts off the semes-ter with the best intentions—you buy the new binders and planner, you write everything from your syllabi on your cal-endar, your backpack is orga-nized and perfect, and you’re ready to take the semester by storm. But what happens by the twelth class day? You’ve lost your planner, all your notes are in the same binder and your backpack has become a black hole for everything you never wanted to lose. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN.

SET ASIDE TIME FOR YOURSELF

Pampering yourself is a neces-sity, not a luxury. Even if it’s just a bubble bath before bed, re-member to treat yourself every now and then to keep a smile on your face.

FINISH SMALL ASSIGNMENTS EARLY

Quizzes and homework are usually pretty simple and quick, so why not get them done ahead of time? This way, you can stress about the big things that really matter, not the little things you forgot to do along the way.

HAVE A DRINK OR TWO

There’s no shame in having a glass of wine before bed or maybe a mimosa before class. If you’re really on edge, take a break, turn on the game, and throw back a couple beers. Just make sure you’re not passed out before you write that paper.

STRETCH IT OUT

Yoga is not only a great way to get in shape, but it really helps support a healthy mind and de-stress your whole body. Yoga helps teach you how to have to-tal control over your diaphragm and breathing so that you can handle any type of stress—physical or emotional.

TALK TO SOMEONE

Whether it’s stress, relation-ship problems or just a case of homesickness that’s got you down, there’s no doubt your campus has an entire staff devoted to your mental well-being and willing to help you out—usually for free! Don’t be afraid to go in and talk to someone; they’re paid to hear you vent about your problems. You know, unlike your friends.

Winter Soups &Stews

compiled by: jennifer yuPLACEYOUR

DIRECTIONS: Heat oil over medium-high heat

in large pot until hot. Add diced tortillas and

garlic and cook until soft. Add cilantro, cumin,

chili powder and stir to evenly coat. Add broth.

Process tomatoes and onion in a blender until

smooth and stir into soup. Bring to boil, then

simmer for about 30 minutes. Season with salt

and pepper.

Melt butter in Dutch oven over

medium heat and add onion,

bacon, thyme, salt, and pepper.

Cook, stirring frequently, until

onion is softened and edges

begin to brown, about 8-10

minutes. Stir in flour and

cook, stirring constantly, for

2 minutes. Gradually add water, whisking constantly, and bring to a

boil. Add corn kernels and potatoes. Return to simmer, reduce heat to

medium-low and cook until potatoes have softened, 15-18 minutes.

Transfer 2 cups of chowder to a blender and process until smooth.

Return puree to chowder, add half-and-half and return to simmer.

Remove pot from heat and stir in reserved corn juice. Season to taste

with salt and pepper.

Tortilla Soup

INGREDIENTS:1 pound ground pork

2 grilled chorizo

sausages, sliced

2 ½ tbs Creole seasoning

2 tbs olive oil

½ cup chopped onion

1 small red bell pepper,

finely chopped

2 celery stalk, finely chopped

2 cored tomatoes, finely chopped

4 bay leaves

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp hot sauce

¾ cup of brown rice

3 cups chicken stock

DIRECTIONS: In a bowl, combine ground pork

with a tablespoon of Creole seasoning, and work in

seasoning well. Make small meat balls with the pork.

In a large saucepan, heat oil over high heat with

onion, pepper and celery for about three minutes.

Add garlic, tomatoes, bay leaves, Worcestershire

and hot sauces and meat balls. Cook for about

3-4 minutes. Stir in rice and slowly add broth and

another 1 ½ tablespoon Creole seasoning. Reduce

heat to medium and cook until rice absorbs liquid

and becomes tender, stirring occasionally, about 15

minutes. When rice is just tender, add sliced sausages.

Cook until rice is done and liquid is almost all gone,

about 10 minutes more. Season to taste with salt,

pepper and Creole seasoning.

While I normally hate winter weather and shivering in my boots, one thing I do love is cozying up on the couch with a big bowl of hot soup to warm up. Whether your New Year’s resolution is to lose a few pounds or just saying “To hell with resolution weight loss,” these recipes will sure be able to keep you warm all season long.
