Prayer over graduates at Nicholls State University.
Brooke Porche, a first-year pre veterinary student at Nicholls is paying part of her way through school herself by waitressing at Hooters in Houma, and saves the money she earns to put towards her education. “I don’t have as much time for studying as I could without the job, but it’s great having the money.”
Students borrowing more for college
Article by Matthew Albright
College students are racking up more debt as the country struggles with continuing economic woes, a new study reports.
The “Student Class of 2010” report by the Project on Student Debt found that about two thirds of college students graduated with student debt, in an average amount of $25,250. That’s 5 percent more than the previous year, continuing a steady trend of growing debts.
In other news, I think my first student loan payments are going to come due in December. How fun.
Nicholls State Football // Family Day 2011
@lilbthebasedgod The Fayetteville State University Bronco men’s basketball game engage in the very #rare #legendary cooking dance, inspired by the popular musical artist “Lil B the Based God.” Seeing as how Lil B hails from Berkley, CA, its quite marvelous that his dance has spread all the way to places like North Carolina. It was a very #rare moment, they cheffed about 36 meals and then decided to play some basketball. Needless to say I was very excited and I nearly started cooking a 5 course meal myself.
Back to, y’know, what I usually blog about. It was my day off today, but I decided to go to the basketball game to work on my sports portfolio. Seeing as how my first potential employers will likely be looking for someone to shoot high school sports like it was breathing. Especially if I want to work for a place like this.
So I tried using a different lens, and stayed in very unconventional positions for most of the game. I’ve uploaded the remainder of my shoot to flickr, but I have to confess, I missed out on a lot of the game action banking on the effectiveness of my position. I think if I give it another go from this position I could help my employment chances, but I wouldn’t try it for more than a half during an actual game.
Anyways, thank you “based god,” and may I continue to work hard and make positive decisions in the future.
