Hello World--Emily's Bomb Life (lol)

-
Hello, my name is Emily Clanton and I'm a native Topekan! I turned 18 in May, the same month I graduated from Shawnee Heights High School. Although I'm undecided on my minor, my goal is to major in Mass Media.

This year I decided to live on-campus in the LLC. My plan is to become very involved and meet lots of new people. I also plan on rushing and joining a sorority this fall. I enjoy dancing and have been taking ballet and other classes for the past 14 years as well as competing though studio dance and my high school dance team. This will be my first year dancing for Washburn as a Dancing Blue and I'm very excited!

Other than dance, some of my hobbies include: eating lots of delicious food, going out with my friends, and bumping rap music everywhere I go. If you see me outside class I will most likely be doing these three things.

As of right now, I am a lifeguard at Genesis Health Club Wood Valley until Labor Day. After the holiday I will still be working at Genesis but in the nursery/day care. I really love kids!

My hope for this semester is that I pass all my classes and don't have a mental breakdown like Britney Spears when she shaved her head.

Thanks for reading!

My blog will be centered around all the fabulous eateries and diners in Topeka. My main goal is to inform others of the delicious food Topeka has to offer. Hope you enjoy!

    Take one day at a time and do stuff on your list daily. Then you can stay sane and avoid the losing your mind part of college…

    I hear you on the "eating lots of delicious food." That happens to be my best talent.

    Hey, Em! You are a bomb dancer and a bomb roommate. Bumping rap music with you is one of my favorite hobbies.

    Great to know there's one other Thunderbird alumni in the course! I'm from the great Y2K Class of 2000!

Photo by Regina Cassell The Cassell family has invaded College Avenue! Welcome to Media Bootcamp, Fall 2016 edition! This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11. I’m a busy wife and mom.  I have taught as a lecturer in the mass media department since the fall of 2003, and I am also the director of Student Media at Washburn. The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazines, 26 weekly issues

WELCOME TO MY FIRST BLOG! photo by Darrin Hartford Darrin Does It I'm very excited to start my new blog and be able to share my vast wealth of information on not only automotive stuff, but household repairs including DIY Pinterest type projects as well.  I definitely have a knack for fixing things, and I hate to say it, but sometimes I like to keep that a secret.  A good handyman should have no problem keeping themselves busy.   I have been taking things  apart as soon as I was able to hold a screwdriver.  For a while I could only successfully take things apart but, as the years went on, I was able to reassemble the things I had taken  apart, much to the joy of my mother.  For whatever reason, she did not enjoy seeing her hair dryer, toaster, TV, microwave, vacuum cleaner...etc. torn apart.  :)   As the years went on, I eventually landed a position in the automotive business as a technician.  I began my career at the former Gregg Tire, located in downtown Topeka

A real live crowdsourcing example

The internet has made many, many wonderful things possible. Yay technology. One of these things is a concept we call crowd sourcing or crowd sharing, etc. Robust user-friendly templates allow users all over the world to begin a fundraising campaign literally in minutes. Let me show you exactly what I mean. Sharon Sullivan is a professor in Washburn's Theatre department. She has a passion for helping empower all kinds of people. One of her heart causes happens to be families who have found themselves battling domestic violence. She has a goal to reach $1,000 for her cause through a website called CrowdRise. Others exist such as GoFundMe, etc. She set up her page and then reached out to her friends through email and Facebook. Check it out:  https://www.crowdrise.com/ywca-ne-ks-purple-purse/fundraiser/sharonsullivan4 As an assignment, please share another way crowdsourcing is used by COMMENTING on this post. (Things other than fundraising.) Please limit your answer to one th
