Let it go?

RACHEL GRANGER

rgranger@go.olemiss.edu

The other day I was scrolling down my Instagram, and I saw the post, “Constantly torn between ‘if it’s meant to be, it will be,’ and ‘if you want it, go get it.’”

If this quote does not describe the everyday struggle, I do not know what does. It especially speaks volumes in the world of relationships.

There comes a time with that person you like, where you decide whether or not you put yourself out there or you just let it be.

Over time we have become complacent with just letting it be because in the situations we did put ourselves out there, we got screwed over. So, we find ourselves more often than none reflecting on what could have been.

With that, I would venture to say both parts of the quotes are true. If you want it, go for it, and if it is meant to be, it will be.

However, this does not mean if we go for it, and it does not T H E D A I LY

happen, keep forcing the wrong puzzle pieces.

Sometimes, it’s hard for us to distinguish the difference between us wanting something and us tricking ourselves to believe that we need something, so I would also add to this quote, “let it go.”

Letting go of a relationship that is obviously detrimental to you does not make you weak.

Sometimes, we hold on because it has become a trend to be a “ride or die.” If someone truly cares, the dying part should not be an option.

We glorify the idea of having a relationship full of suffering and pain because we believe that overcoming is the only way to achieve strength. Instagram captions read, “We argue and fight all the time, but I can not imagine going through hell with anyone else.”

You should not have to feel pain to know it’s real. Just let it go.

I believe social media has left us feeling empty, and our desire for something to complete that

feeling of emptiness has become stronger. Every time we get on the internet, we see a perfect relationship. It has become our “relationship goal” to be those people on Instagram, and these unrealistic goals have left us feeling like we have to hold on to the broken pieces. However, in reality, all we are doing is striving for something that is not meant to be.

The more we are able to live people’s personal lives through social media, the more we are “reminded” how imperfect our lives are. We either start going after this unrealistic standard of perfection, holding on to something that is not worth anything or waiting for this non-existent “Prince Charming” to come around and save us. But we cannot be saved. Neither can we find happiness in an individual who hurts us.

Yes, good things come to those who wait and do not give up on those we love blah blah blah, but are we ready while we are waiting? Is the person we love worth our love?

So if you want it, yes, go get it.

Not in the sense that you pursue what you want directly, but you pursue the better you that makes you ready for when you do get it.

Stop sitting around waiting for perfection to fall in your lap while you’re either dating or being the devil’s spawn.

So go for it, and by “it,” I mean a better you.

Stop settling for temporary happiness because you’re unwilling to put in the time to be the person who deserves quality.

Our generation has been manipulated by each other into believing that relationships have to be crazy, obsessive and needy.

If it’s not meant to be, no amount of pain will make it meant to be, and if you want it, nothing can stop you from having it … except what is meant to be.

Magazine Innovation Center to host ACT 5 Experience ALLISON SLUSHER

ajslushe@go.olemiss.edu

Leaders in the magazine industry will speak on campus this week as part of the fifth annual ACT Experience.

The conference falls on the 30th anniversary of The University Of Mississippi’s magazine program. The program was started at the university in 1984 by Samir Husni. Husni later started the Magazine Innovation Center in 2009 and currently serves as the director of the program.

Husni said he believes the print industry will not diminish in a digital age, but that the two will continue to grow together. “(I was) one of those few people back then in ‘09 who really believed that our future is not all digital,” Husni said. “Our future is going to be print plus digital and not print versus digital.”

He said that since then, more people have begun to support the notion that print and digital media will coincide.

This year’s theme for the conference is “The Future of Digital Begins with Print.” ACT, which stands for Amplify, Clarify and Testify, will consist of a series of over 40 speakers who hold different roles in the magazine industry.

Husni explained there will be speakers representing numerous magazine companies, both from the United States and international locations.

“We have people coming from Russia,” Husni said. “We have people coming from Norway, people coming from Denmark, people coming from the Netherlands, people coming from Finland and of course, from these United States. We almost have every major magazine media company represented. We have every major printer represented.

We have every major marketing ad agency represented.”

Husni also explained the conference is a valuable resource to journalism students at the university. ACT Experience allows students to network with people in the industry and learn from them first hand.

Bob Sacks, president and publisher of Precision Media Group, said he finds the ACT Experience unique because of the intimacy it

er attendees to learn from experienced professionals.

“Over the years of my publishing career, I’ve attended many publishing conferences and seminars,” Reiman said. “I’ve now attended five ACT Experience gatherings, and they’re easily the best. Why? The topics and speakers are carefully selected.

They’re all ‘do-ers’ and entrepreneurs, who have put their ideas — and their money — on the line have learned from those experiences and are willing to share them.”

Jim Elliott, president and CEO of James G. Elliott Company, said the conference appeals to him because of the networking opportunities.

“I have been at all the ACT experiences,” Elliott said. “I come because one can meet and talk with people in the industry in a very relaxed setting over a threeday period. I have made good friends, connected with folks who needed my services and met and hired Ole Miss students.

Now I can add that I am at the greatest football school in the nation.”

ACT 5 Experience will begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday and will go through noon Friday. More information can be found at www. maginnovation.org/act/agenda.

SFA to grant free tickets to university community MALLORY LEHENBAUER mksimerv@go.olemiss.edu

Each year, the Southern Foodways Alliance hosts a symposium honoring all things Southern and edible. This year’s event is Oct. 2326 at the Lyric.

“During our 17th Southern Foodways Symposium, we mark the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ask questions about inclusion and exclusion today,” said John T. Edge, food writer and Southern Foodways Alliance director. “The symposium is sold out, full to the brim, flat-out overflowing.”

While the event sold out in August, excitement began stirring as announcements were made about

speakers.

Speakers this year include Ta-Nehisi Coates, national correspondent for The Atlantic; Clay Risen, New York Times op-ed editor and author of “The Bill of the Century” and Marcie Cohen Ferris, author of “The Edible South.”

The Root, an online magazine based on black culture and influence, lists Coates as the top black influencer this year.

The Root’s list encompasses “African-Americans 45 years old and younger who are responsible for the year’s most significant moments and themes.”

The symposium is not open to the public and limits attendees from the university. But Edge said the alliance is pleased to invite

faculty, staff and students to hear a select group of speakers during this year’s symposium.

“We realize that each of these speakers will address challenging and timely topics of interest to the University,” Edge said. “So, we’re delighted to offer a limited number of seats to interested members of the UM community.”

In order to receive a ticket, email Afton Thomas, afton@ southernfoodways.org, by Thursday, Oct, 16.Tickets will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, and each ticket admits one person to the second floor of the Lyric.

“We’ll let you know if you secured a ticket and where to pick them up on Friday, Oct. 17,” Edge said.

NEWS | 6 OCTOBER 2014 | THE DAILY MISSISSIPPIAN | PAGE 5

The candidates running for Mr. and Miss Ole Miss answered questions during a Q&A session with The DM. For more answers from the candidates, see theDMonline.com. Students can vote Tuesday from 9 a.m. - 5p.m. on myOleMiss.

Grady Nutt

Luke Love

Rob Barber “I would love to be Mr. Ole Miss because of all the school has given me. When I first got here on campus I wasn’t really planning on getting involved with anything.

I was just coming to school here to get a degree. Ole Miss kind of just took me in and popped me out senior year, kind of the guy I am today, which is radically different from who I was in high school, and I am so thankful for that. I would love the opportunity to contribute to the positive direction that this university has given me.”

“I decided to run for Mr. Ole Miss because I have been a Rebel since I was born. My entire family are rebel alumni, and I don’t plan on ending the tradition with me.

I thought about all the relationships that I’ve made and the friendships that I have made and how the Ole Miss student body has really become a family to me. Since Mr. Ole Miss is a service position. Ole Miss has given me so much, and I would love to give back, and it would be such an honor to be able to give back by being Mr. Ole Miss.”

“I am running for Mr. Ole Miss, just because of the immense amount of support that I have had through my time here at Ole Miss. I love to get involved on campus and to make everyday at Ole Miss the best I can possibly make it for myself and for others. Through doing that for years and years, I have really come to love this school.

And I just want to give back a little bit of what it has given me. And through running for Mr. Ole Miss and serving for the face of the university, I think it would be an excellent opportunity to give back to the students.”

Emily Wikle

Ryan Henry “I want to change the perception of what Miss Ole Miss is. Typically, it has been like a popular contest or a sorority competition, but I really want to focus in on what it is, and that’s a service position. Miss Ole Miss gets to team up with Mr. Ole Miss and put on a philanthropy for all of Oxford and the university. I really want to focus in on the aspect of community service, and the servant leadership of the Miss Ole Miss type.”

“Well, coming from Indiana, I always wanted to go to a Southern school, so Ole Miss just so happened to be one I looked at. And Ole Miss just has provided so many different opportunities to me, and Ole Miss has also invested so much in me. Service is something that makes me happy. I love being a part of any philanthropy projects and community service. And that just really is what Miss Ole Miss is about. I love that if chosen you get to pick a philanthropy with Mr. Ole Miss, and I just think that is something special, and it would be really neat to serve the university one last time. I’m not the kind of person who wants Miss Ole Miss for myself or for the title or anything.

It’s just simply another way to serve the university.”

Allie Winters “First off, I think all of the candidates are great this year, so any one of us would be awesome. But I’ve grown up an Ole Miss fan from day one. I only applied to Ole Miss and only took a tour of Ole Miss and have lived and breathed Ole Miss my whole life. I have always looked up to Miss Ole Miss and Mr. Ole Miss. I think it is such a high position to hold and such an honor to have it, but also it gives you an opportunity to give back to the university and kind of be like a voice for the students. I think Miss Ole Miss is the final moment of just being there for the students and giving back to the university, and it is giving me the opportunity to do so.”

With performances and a story about as lively as an inanimate doll, “Annabelle” only succeeds in killing any real chance for a legitimate franchise based on “The Conjuring.”

For the film to be named after the doll that horrified audiences in last year’s “The Conjuring,” Annabelle — the eponymous doll — plays second fiddle to a tired, overdone horror trope.

Beyond the doll playing a central role in the first twenty minutes of the film, “Annabelle” progresses into a supernatural realm that reeks rather than inspiring shrieks.

Instead of focusing on the creepy, fixed-face doll, the entirety of the film bases upon

Charles Manson style.

In the process of the murders, the vengeful spirit of the deceased neighbors’ psychotic daughter — who is the doll’s namesake — possesses the Annabelle doll.

The filmmakers decided that a possessed doll wasn’t enough, however; so, in a cheese-laden twist of events, a demon is also attached to the doll.

In the series of events that follow, Mia deals with mental and emotional warfare at the hands of the malevolent demon but finds hope in Alfre Woodard as Evelyn, the owner of a bookstore, who also just happens to moonlight as an expert in the occult. This is probably the largest misstep in the film, as Woodard is an exquisite actress whose talent is completely wasted in this thinly written role.

Even in her minor role, Alfre still outshines the other performances in the film, which is a massive disCOURTESY: MOVIEPOSTERDB.COM appointment given the strong acting from al“The Conjuring,” the expec- son, but it’s a bigger dud than most every actor in “The Con- tations would not have been going trick-or-treating and juring.” as high.

And when I say cheap, I mean it. Not only is the demon not scary, it’s laughable.

The main characters don’t find it laughable, however, and while the performances aren’t anything to write home about, the performers’ collective perseverance in trying to portray fear is admirable, especially in light of the poor writing and lackluster directing.

“Bo takes a lot of criticism, but sometimes, it’s us, the wide receivers, who might be wrong on a route or be in the wrong spot, but it kind of falls back on Bo,” Engram said.

“He’s already a great leader.

It’s so easy to get in these situations and fall under all this pressure and the atmosphere, but he didn’t blink. There was no fear in his eyes. It was an amazing performance by him, a smart performance, and he came out and answered a lot of questions and shook the haters up a little bit.”

Wallace was instrumental for the Rebels’ success on offense, especially in the second half. Wallace found sophomore wide receiver Laquon Treadwell for a touchdown in the third quarter and then threw a 34-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Vince Sanders to tie the game.

Alabama would’ve had a chance to take the lead again if it were not for special teams standout, junior defensive end Channing Ward. Reigning SEC Special Teams Player of the Year, senior wide receiver Christion Jones, returned the

kick 20 yards for the Crimson Tide before Ward stripped the ball, which the Rebels recovered at the 31-yard line. The Rebels moved the ball quickly down the field before Wallace connected on a 10-yard touchdown pass to junior running back Jaylen Walton for the go-ahead score.

“In the second half, he made some big time plays. He just played so solid,” Freeze said.

“On that last touchdown that ball was right where it needed to be for us.”

Treadwell spoke about how he reacted when Walton hauled in the pass to give them the lead so late in the game.

“I actually ran and tackled him when he fell down. It was just crazy,” Treadwell said.

“We knew we had a great defense, and that was going to give us a chance to win the game.”

The Rebels’ special teams put the defense in an even tougher position when they allowed Alabama to block senior kicker Andrew Fletcher’s point-after attempt, making the score 23-17. This meant Alabama could win the game with just a touchdown and normal point-after. And with 2:54 left in the game, they certainly had a good chance.

Alabama’s senior quarterback Blake Sims moved them down the field with several sharp throws, including a 30yard completion to star junior wide out Amari Cooper. However, when Sims tried to find his tight end in the end zone, he was picked off by Golson.

“It was a great play,” Golson said. “Earlier in the game, I had blown that coverage. We were in cover three, and they hit the tight end up the middle, which was my fault. They ran the exact same play again.

I just did my job, was in the right spot and made a good play.”

Players and coaches felt the win could have huge implications for the team.

“It got us over the hump.

Now, we’re relevant,” Treadwell said. “I think everyone sees it now, and everyone is going to bring their A-game when they play us.”

Golson said the game was very special to him as a senior.

“This is my last time playing Bama, and to go out the way I did, I’m gonna live with it for a very long time,” Golson said.

“It’s a huge win for our program and our fans, “ Freeze said. “It’s been a tremendous day.”

Rebel soccer shuts out Alabama 1-0, ties Auburn

Senior goalkeeper Kelly McCormick tied the school record for shutout victories on Sunday afternoon, helping lead Ole Miss (7-34, 2-1-3 SEC) to a 1-0 victory over Alabama (7-4-2, 2-2-1 SEC) as the Rebels posted another undefeated weekend on the pitch.

McCormick posted eight saves for the match as she and the Rebel backline combined to turn away 17 Alabama shots on the way to grabbing the three coveted points in the SEC standings heading into a bye week. The senior goalkeeper now has 22 shutouts for her career.

Junior midfielder Jennifer Miller provided the game-winning goal for the Rebels, finding the back of the net in the 20th minute to push Ole Miss to the win.

“We battled like crazy today, and that makes me so happy,” said Ole Miss head coach Matthew Mott. “Kelly was great with her eight saves today. Our back line and total team effort in defending was very good today. We did a good job in the midfield and a great goal by Jenn Miller. It’s always hard to get a shutout on the road.”

McCormick was tested early as the Crimson Tide fired off a trio of dangerous shots in the first seven minutes of play, but the senior keeper was up the task each time as she turned away the three Alabama shots successfully.

The Rebels settled in and reversed the pressure, firing off several shots through in succession starting at the 16-minute mark.

Ole Miss final found the net when Rebels’ junior forward/midfielder Olivia Harrison got loose and tapped the ball to Miller at the top of the box. Miller then fired the shot in past the keeper to put Ole Miss on top 1-0.

McCormick and the defense continue to play well down the stretch, turning away scoring opportunities for the Tide while the Rebel offense sought a second goal in the period. The second goal never came, despite a couple of great opportunities, but the Rebels held the 1-0 advantage at the break.

Ole Miss continued to attack the

Tide out of the break, notching a corner and a solid shot in the first minute of play in the second half, but the header yielded nothing as the Rebels were turned away by the Tide again.

The defense continued to step up for the Rebels throughout the second period as the backline and McCormick repeatedly turned away scoring opportunities for the Crimson Tide. After her three saves in the first half, McCormick added five more saves in the second half to lead the Rebels to the shutout victory.

Ole Miss will now have a week off before returning to action on the road with a pair of matches at Kentucky and South Carolina.

The Rebels and Wildcats will kick off at 6:30 p.m. CT on Friday, Oct. 17 when Ole Miss resumes competition.

Rebels battle Auburn to draw The Rebels rallied twice on Friday night, answering each Tiger goal as Ole Miss (6-3-4, 1-1-3 SEC) played Auburn (6-4-2, 0-22 SEC) to a 2-2 draw through two overtime periods at the Auburn Soccer Stadium to kick off a threeweek stretch of road matches.

Ole Miss got its first goal from sophomore midfielder Gretchen Harknett in the 65th minute to tie the match for the first time on the evening, The Rebels got a second equalizing goal in the 88th minute from sophomore fielder/midfielder Addie Forbus as Ole Miss fought back to send the game into overtime before battling to the draw.

“It was a very good soccer game tonight and we had to come back twice,” said Ole Miss head coach Matthew Mott. “I’m happy with the character of our team to battle through that. We’re the overtime kings right now. I’m happy with the players scoring two good goals.”

Auburn got on the board in the 26th minute when the Tigers got behind the defense and sophomore midfielder Cassie Ramsier took a shot one-on-one with the Rebels’ keeper. Senior goalkeeper

Kelly McCormick dove and deflected the ball, but an Ole Miss defender slid in behind her attempting to block the shot and knocked it into the goal to put the Tigers on the board with the first goal of the match.

Auburn out-shot the Rebels 9-to-4 in the half and held the one-goal lead heading into the locker room at the break. McCormick posted three saves on Auburn’s four shots on goal in the half as she turned away several Tiger attacks.

The Rebels got a great chance in the 48th minute when junior forward/midfielder Olivia Harrison fired a shot that was punched up over the goal by the Auburn keeper to maintain the lead for the home-standing Tigers in the 53rd minute.

A second chance came in the 63rd minute when Auburn’s freshmen midfielder Ellie Leek was given a yellow card on a foul, setting up a free kick for the Rebels. Harknett took the kick, but it sailed just wide of the goal as the FILE PHOTO: KAYLA BEATTY Tigers held onto the lead.

Harknett found the back of the net in the 65th minute when the Rebels got the ball in the box and Forbus tapped it over to the sophomore who drilled it past the keeper to even the match at a goal each.

Auburn moved back in front in the 81st minute with an improbable goal following a Rebel foul at midfield. The Tigers’ junior defender Kala Faulkner took the free kick at midfield, sending a high, arcing serve into the box where freshman forward/midfielder Courtney Schell headed it into the net for the lead.

Ole Miss would not go away as the Rebels continued to fight down the stretch. The resiliency paid off as Forbus found the goal, dribbling past the defender into the box and firing a shot that hit the far post and ricocheted into the net to tie the match at 2-2.

The two teams battled to a draw through the two overtime periods, despite the Rebels having four corner kicks in the second overtime period with a chance to snatch the win.

Validation: Ole Miss Rebels defeat the Crimson Tide

Ole Miss fans celebrate after bringing down the goal post after Saturday’s 23-17 win over Alabama. For more photos from the game, see page 6.

The atmosphere couldn’t have been bigger for Saturday’s game between the Ole Miss Rebels and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Fans packed the Grove early in the morning to see ESPN’s College GameDay on its first ever trip to Oxford, which would certainly prove to be a memorable one.

Playing for a sellout crowd of 61,826, which included celebrities such as Katy Perry, Woody Harrelson, Liam Hemsworth, Octavia Spencer

and several members of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team, Ole Miss had a historic win, beating Alabama for the first time since 2003 by a score of 23-17. The win also marked only the tenth time in program history that the Rebels have upended the Crimson Tide.

As a result from upset Saturday, both Ole Miss and Mississippi State are tied for third in the AP poll. It is the first time ever that both Mississippi teams are ranked in the top five at the same time.

The game came down to the last minute of the fourth

quarter with both teams battling until the Rebels finally came away with a victory, throwing the crowd into such a frenzy that they stormed the field and tore down the goal posts, which were seen later that night on the Square and on campus.

“I’m just so proud of our young men,” head coach Hugh Freeze said. “You can’t lose a game in 30 or 45 minutes.

You have to play for 60 minutes, and that is something we’ve preached since we’ve been here.”

Both defenses started off very strong, something Freeze had emphasized would have to happen for them to win the game.

“I felt like we had defensive depth,” Freeze said. “When you play good defense, you have a chance.”

Senior defensive back Senquez Golson talked about the team’s defensive performance as well.

“We knew Alabama wasn’t

going to beat us running the ball the whole game. Eventually, they were going to have to throw, which I don’t think they really wanted to do,” Golson said. “We played an incredible game.”

Despite the Rebel defense only allowing one touchdown in the game, it looked like Alabama might run away with the game near the end of the first half. Alabama junior defensive back Cyrus Jones forced a fumble by junior running back I’Tavius Mathers, which he then returned 13 yards for the score. At the end of the first half, the Rebels were down 14-3 and would kickoff to Alabama to begin the second half.

“To be very candid, I felt like my heart got ripped out right before the half on the fumble for points there,” Freeze said.

“I felt very confident all week.

That was the only time I started to waiver a bit.”

Ole Miss was able to get back into the game on the

shoulders of one of the most scrutinized players on the team, senior quarterback Bo Wallace. Wallace was able to ignore the pressure and come up with a huge game for the Rebels, finishing the day by completing 18-31 passes for 251 yards and three touchdowns.

“Sometimes, these kids take on way more criticism than they deserve. I don’t know that they get the equal treatment on the other side of it.

He managed the game very nicely,” Freeze said of Wallace’s performance.

“Who knows what the next week holds, but tonight, Bo led his team to defeat the No. 3 team in the country. He deserves credit for being a big part of that.”

Sophomore tight end Evan Engram felt Wallace received unfair criticism as well and was also impressed with Wallace’s performance, specifi-
