By Casby Bias Jul. 4, 2012 A celebrity walked among those who searched for the best deals Wednesday at Mayfair Mall. He also faced criticism from a resident on his progress of a particular goal. No sale stood a chance against the amount of attention the man caught from one individual. While the male strolled down the halls, one shopper looked past the unfamiliar baseball cap and recognized his long braids- now in two ponytails- and unique stomach. “The Capitol Drive Jogger,” Janice, 51, said. Oh yes: the Capitol Drive Jogger. Janice said she focused on the comical relief but continuing persistence provided by the jogger because he always broke a sweat but never lost weight. He lacked his usual running pace that day, but his extracurricular activity placed smiles on the faces of those who passed by Capitol Drive in April, Janice said. Janice also shared her input on how she thought the jogger did so far on his weight management. “This time when [I] saw him, he had a big old tummy,” Janice said. “What’s up with that?"

Jun. 26, 2012 A Marquette University student moved forward Tuesday toward looking for an additional part-time summer job. Another position would help the 19-year-old with expenses in the upcoming school semesters, the student said. Casby Bias, a journalism major in the Diederich College of Communication, described another summer position as the "best choice." She would possess more money for near-campus housing so family and friends could increase access to learning more about her. Bias said she would also save money for bills and maybe studying abroad. "Yup," Bias said. "I need another job." But she said the employment search turned into a difficult one. "I wish I found out sooner that the position I currently have would only be part-time," Bias said. By Casby Bias
Jun. 25, 2012 A Marquette University student set up plans Monday for a new apartment search for her junior year. Casby Bias, a journalism major in the Diederich College of Communication, said her father saw that a different place would be better than her grandmother's house. Danger now lurked every corner in the once daycare center. "The conditions would cost way too much to repair," A. Bias said. But the news affected Bias: she faced living again without independence from moving back in with her parents because of the late announcement. Bias began her search for another housing location after receiving the update. "I can't stay at my parents house anymore if I can help it," Bias said. "Especially during my upperclass years."

Jun. 20, 2012 A business development executive said Friday that students shouldn't create so many boundaries before goals during an INROADS Minneapolis summit. He also said people needed clear interests and negotiating skills. Dwayne Dixon, a marketing professional at Xerox Corporation, said "positions,” or what an individual wouldn’t give up, usually prevailed over interests. He told students focusing more on their goals led to a higher chance of accomplishments. He wanted students thinking "I need shoes" instead of "I'm not going to pay more than $50." "You have to have a clear objective of what you want to do," Dixon said. But he also said people should trust themselves if they felt reasonable with the goals they wanted. "Be honest with yourself," Dixon said. Dixon also guided students on identifying their true interests. "Does this further your personal range goals?" He stated. “Do you intend to meet your commitment?" And Dixon offered one way of negotiating: looking for alternative options. 'I'm sorry: here are my interests. What about options that possess some of my interests?' would be the fill-in question asked instead of giving up. By Casby Bias
Jun. 19, 2012 A motivational speaker told INROADS interns Friday that they needed passion and persistence for their goals during a Minneapolis summit. He also recommended originality from students that desired management positions. Justin Jones-Fosu, an award-winning entrepreneur and author of "Inspiration for Life: Dream Bigger, Do More, Live Fuller," worked toward reducing common excuses students used for not following their dreams. His 'how-to' instructions and advocacy within his speeches helped aspiring leaders develop their potential, students reported. Jones-Fosu said people found their own passions when they didn't "need the applause of man." He also said that individuals should believe in their dreams: not relive later "nightmares" of not achieving their specific goals. "We have to possess confidence in our vision," Jones-Fosu said. "Are you willing to fight for yours?" He also told students that performing a task a different way ensured further recognition in their fields. "If you're too busy being a copy, who is going to be the original of you?" Jones-Fosu said. "Don't settle." By Casby Bias
Jun. 15, 2012 The CEO of INROADS told interns Friday the three factors that made leadership a distinction in Minneapolis. Forest T. Harper said that students needed the three principles - "reach inside, reach out, reach back" - for further guidance. The advice helped toward ensuring future legacies and opportunities for INROADS interns and others. Harper also said that finding out who you are and looking for mentors all served as important points. But the last point that the successful played a part in assisting the community along the way made the difference. "Your legacy is built on what you do for others," Harper said.

The graduation marked an important step in the cousin, Jovani P.,'s life. The now ninth-grader attended the same school since kindergarten. He planned on attending the second school of his academic development, Riverside High School, in Fall 2012. "Yay!" Casby Bias, journalism major at Diederich College of Communication, said. "My cousin is going to high school!" By Casby Bias
Jun. 5, 2012 A Marquette University junior reflected on a social justice movie Tuesday at her Milwaukee home, the student said. "Higher Learning" based itself on college issues that included Racism, sexual orientation and safety. Casby Bias, a journalism major, said she recommended the movie for the unity of diverse cultures on any campus. "The movie showed me a lot of things that I didn't even think were a big deal until seeing it flash again before my own eyes on the film's setting of a predominantly white university," Bias said. "Some events even happened to me." Bias said the amount of diversity during the party scenes served as a perfect example. "I remember this one party I went to: the minority students were either standing outside or heading to a 'less weak' party, while White Americans were dancing and having fun inside," Bias said. "The isolation was disappointing." Bias hoped other viewers thought up new ideas for their schools and received the same message from the movie: that society needed more tolerance. She offered a tactic of her own in dedication to university social gatherings. "There should be more diverse tunes when it comes to public campus parties," Bias said. "It's a start." By Casby Bias Jun. 4, 2012 A Marquette University student responded to a controversial article about personal development Monday from Clutch Magazine. The content advised an alternative to the status quo of acting unique. The article recommended people pursue the personalities of other individuals. But society encouraged "being yourself" as crucial advice for increasing confidence and accepting a personal identity. Casby Bias, journalism major at the Diederich College of Communication, said the article didn't mean any harm. "I don't feel like the article is telling us women to shift away from who we are," Bias said. "Rather, it's informing us how to shift away from the person the society perceives us as and further toward the person we want to be." Bias also pointed out to reporters her own role model in support of the article's message. "I'd like Gabrielle Union's professional attitude she shows in her movies," Bias said. "Yep: a 'no-nonsense' type." http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2012/06/wise-words-act-the-part-2/ By Casby Bias Jun. 2, 2012 The abilities of a new phone served as a worthy purchase Saturday for a Marquette University student at a local Sprint store. The previously-owned phone limited anyone to basic elements of Internet access: the viewing and sending of email messages. But Casby Bias, journalism major at the Diederich College of Communication, said her new phone granted more luxuries. The advantages included less time waiting for an upload and easy viewing and responding of emails. "Yeah," Bias said. "My old phone sucked: but with my new phone, I can actually read the messages I got!" |
