here comes a time when the majority of high school graduates select a college leaving their homes to become independent and start their new beginnings as college freshman. They gather up their belongings, move into their new rooms in new cities and meet their unknown roommates. It is a day bundled with nervousness, anticipation, and excitement.

This event is called Move-In Day. On Aug. 22, Texas A&M University-

Corpus Christi held their annual MoveIn Day. The sun shined through the palm trees and we felt the warm fresh breeze coming from the bay nearby as we moved in. Oversized stuffed animals, smoothie makers, fish bowls and flat screen T.V.’s were seen rushed into rooms all over Camden Miramar. Some people even tried swapping their assigned twin-size mattresses with their much larger one from home. Parents were scattered everywhere unloading boxes and bags trying to settle their students into their new lifestyles. At the end of the day, exhausted

smiles were exchanged, tears were shed, and heartfelt goodbyes were made.

For some people, goodbyes can be very difficult. It is a time when they realize they must separate from their families and start their own lives. Which means leaving behind our hometown, where our comfort zones lie, going to a new city and facing new experiences.

“Move-In Day was tiring, fun, and of course, sad staying back while my family left,” said Monica Rios, freshman.

Waves of Welcome A look into Islander tradition

by CONNER TICHOTA editor in chief

A

s summer begins to wind down and come to a close, students at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi gear up for the upcoming academic year by participating in the annual Waves of Welcome festivities.

Waves of Welcome is a two week long celebration of Islander pride that takes place at the beginning of the fall semester each year. Events are sponsored by various administrative, academic and student organizations throughout

campus.

This year’s program kicked-off on Aug. 22 with a gazebo party, hosted by the Chi Alpha Christian Fellowship organization, to welcome back students after a long, strenuous Move-In Day. Upcoming events include the traditional President’s Picnic, Senior Breakfast, Student Fair Organization and Islander Community Expo.

Events are open to the student body at large. “[Waves of Welcome] is for everybody.

It’s to get everyone, from freshmen through

seniors, engaged and excited to be back on campus,” said Suzanne Brittain, student activity coordinator and coordinator of Waves of Welcome. “It does help for the new students, freshmen or transfers, [to get] acclimated to campus. Really the goal is to help students know that they don’t need to go home for the weekend or they don’t need to go to San Antonio to find something to do. [We] put a lot of stuff out there to get the students to connect with the University right away to really make them feel at home.” see WAVES OF WELCOME on page 3

Back to school tips for every college student

by PRIVUS MOBILE contributing writer

S

chool is officially back in session!

But are you ready for it? For those who are freshmen, take a moment and realize you’re no longer in high school.

You are now solely responsible for your success in college. For those who have been enrolled a year or longer, you already realize this, but don’t forget curriculum is often designed

to become more challenging as you begin entering upper-classmen courses. With this in mind, start off the school year right by following these easy steps, and don’t forget to keep your mind and soul healthy in the process: Be Efficient, Organized Note-taking is an essential skill that has to be mastered by students in order to excel. Utilize a method that works best for you, if that’s

bullet points in an outline format or highlighting titles and subtitles to keep track of big-picture ideas v. details. Before the lecture, do the assigned reading and arrive early to class to review the reading and any notes from the previous class. This will help prepare you for what you can expect throughout the lecture, making it easier to take notes and know what’s important to write down. After class, review and summarize your notes while the information is still fresh on your mind. By doing this, studying your notes at a later time will make it easier to understand and remember.

Kick the Habit Make smart decisions outside of school — whether that be taking a taxi home from a social event because your ride has been drinking or by not texting and driving when you’re in the driver’s seat. Utilizing smartphone apps, like Privus Mobile’s Caller ID, provide a realistic solution to help keep your eyes on the road and you safe. The Android app audibly announces who is calling or texting the moment it arrives, regardless of whether or not the name is in your contact list. By using this app, you can decide whether to ignore it until reaching the destination or pull over to answer it safely. Making smart choices can help keep you physically safe and able to continue your education.

Many who don’t make these types of decisions often find themselves dropping out of school, injured and unable to finish courses or much worse.

Manage Your Academics Take advantage of academic tools, like the website MyEdu, to search for classes, rate professors, view others’ ratings

and plan your semester schedule accordingly. These tools can also help you look at your academic career as a whole by viewing information on requirements for your major and managing your degree plan. While it’s no replacement for an academic advisor, this type of tool can be very helpful to stay on track throughout your college years.

Study Differently While cramming the night before a test may work for some students, for most it’s an ineffective method that doesn’t translate into good grades.

Instead, try organizing a study group at the beginning of the semester with other students in your class. This can be a great way to view someone else’s perspective on an issue and discuss topics that you may have missed in the lectures or reading. Additionally, tools like Study Blue can make studying even easier by providing online flashcards created by others in the same class as well as allows users to create their own flashcards.

Get Involved Attend an organizational fair to learn more about opportunities on and off campus. It’s a great way to be involved in an organization you’re passionate about as well as meet new friends and have exciting experiences.

Also, consider other options like volunteering your time with a local nonprofit or finding internships where you can utilize skills from your major and further advance your resume. Being involved in these types of activities not only improve your social well-being while in school but also proves your work ethic outside of classes which many employers will be looking for after graduation.

Staying organized, making smart decisions and creatively solving solutions, if that’s through planning your schedule or establishing new study habits, help to keep your mind and soul happy, so you can focus on your education and achieve great results.

WAVES OF WELCOME

photo by ISLAND WAVES

Students attend the Islander Bash at the 2013 annual Waves of Welcome.

Some of the more popular events are the more traditional ones including, but not limited to, Island Bash, President’s Picnic, the Student Organization Fair and the Expo.

The President’s Picnic and the Islander Community Expo are two of the oldest events in the Waves of Welcome line-up. According to Brittain, Islander Community Expo has been in existence for the past 13 to 14 years and the President’s Picnic may be even older than that.

The President’s Picnic features live entertainment, food and the University president’s welcome speech to the student body. The Islander Community Expo brings local businesses to the campus as they promote their services to the potential student market. “ We invite vendors from Corpus Christi,” said Brittain, “We’re going to have like Whataburger, Starplex movies, [and] Corner

Bakery. There’s door prizes, there’s all kinds of stuff to get students interested and get [them] to know, ‘hey, here’s what’s going on in Corpus Christi’.”

Senior Breakfast is not nearly as old as the President’s Picnic or the Islander Community Expo, however, it is well on its way to becoming a long term traditional event.

“Senior breakfast is new, this is its second year, but it’s one of the programs we want to

keep going. It debuted last year…and it will be one of the traditional events,” affirmed Brittain.

For more information on the various events taking place during Waves of Welcome, view the detailed events calendar on page 4 of this Island Waves issue.

MOVE-IN DAY However, there are some people who quickly adapt to their new lives and enjoy their newfound freedom. They are excited and anxious to experience every aspect that the Island University has to offer.

“Moving in at [A&M-Corpus Christi] was really easy and fun,” said Alyssa Villareal, freshman. “It felt like I was going away to a summer camp, but for a whole year! I can’t wait to see what [A&M-Corpus Christi] has in store for me.”

Move-in Day and becoming a college student was overwhelming. It felt like we had to grow up all at once and commit to every responsibility that came our way. It could be from either doing our own laundry on weekends, or attempting to wash dishes when we have never held a sponge before. It is going to be tough but, we have to face those silly struggles and focus on

continued from page 1 our future in order to succeed. College is a full time job.

“Life is the most exciting opportunity we have,” said Zeke Roque, freshman.

“We get one shot, we graduate from high school once, and that is it. You are going out from the nest and you have to find the courage that’s deep, deep inside you to keep going every step of the way.”

In the end, we all have adventures in store for us. Our adventures could vary from trying out for the athletic teams on campus, to pursuing our careers by interning for nearby businesses, to trying to make a difference in the world. Whichever the case may be, we are now settled into our new lives and ready to start our first college year and begin the journey of a lifetime... becoming an Islander.

Students and parents begin the move-in process for a new year at the Island University.

ith the expanding number of students attending Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi, the school is in desperate need of more housing. In order to remedy the situation A&MCorpus Christi commissioned the construction of two brand new dorms in fall 2013. These two dorms, named Compass and Dolphin, were officially opened to new residents on Aug. 22.

Both Compass and Dolphin were built as private units, which are furnished with a desk, a closet, and a private bathroom. The Dolphin building has a total of 85 rooms while Compass has 65 rooms.

The two dorms also have ADA compliant accessibility units that are equipped with doorbells and flashing lights for residents who are hard of hearing. In addition, the accessibility units are equipped with low hanging shelves for the closets and bathrooms.

The resident room walls were manila colored in order to give the room a neutral tone that could be easily covered with decorations giving the space more personality. Rooms are grouped into fours, two side by side on each side of the hallway, segmented by archways in between.

The palette used for the hallway walls is a mixture of light turquoise blues and sunset oranges that give the building a very tropical feel. At the end of the hallway lies a common area that is set up with two armchairs, a coffee table and a hanging TV. The area is the perfect spot for socializing with neighbors and could easily be a space for gaming sessions and movie screenings.

“These two apartments were designed with energy efficiency in mind, the carpet is up to green standards, the windows are designed to prevent too much heat from coming in and all the light bulbs are compact fluorescent,” said Richard Whatcott, Director of Housing and Residence Life.

Whatcott’s position has him overseeing the entire operation of Camden Miramar including additional amenities. Furthermore, he said the apartments’ single room design was created due to a demand for privacy, but the common area was put in place in order to keep a social atmosphere nearby.

Whatcott said that the composition of occupant education levels was about an even split between freshmen and upperclassmen.

In regards to parking, he said that there isn’t a space per dorm, but they did study the numbers and that every car-driving resident should have a space to park.

In addition, the new dorms are within a short distance of the new dining hall, which establishes them as the closest residence area.

Whatcott claims to have big plans for the entire Camden area including a volleyball court that starts construction in early September with an opening set for October.

“We’re plotting out our plans for the next two years and have big plans for new amenity areas, outings, and other things that students have been asking for,” said Whatcott.

Whatcott said he wants to surprise the students with what these plans may be on a future date, but did suggest that the swimming pool may be getting a revamp.

The future of the Camden residence halls looks bright as residents gain more amenities and more overall living space.

iOS

C

omputers can be confusing. There are so many different brands, sizes, and the terminology can make deciding on the right digital device for you a downright daunting task. After plenty of research and a buying blunder, I eventually found the right tablet device for me and I’m going to help you decide which one is right for you.

When choosing a tablet, you must consider an interface, otherwise known as an operating system. The operating system (which I will now refer to as an OS) is what produces the look and feel of your device. The two most preferred operating systems on the market are Android and iOS. iOS, designed by Apple has a simple, colorful and easy to use layout. The interface is so simplistic that even a novice user can become a pro within a couple days of use.

However, the simple interface does come with the pitfall of limited customization. About the only thing you can tune to your preferred look on iOS is the wallpaper. If you don’t like the predominantly white color of the iPod interface, I’m sorry to say that you are stuck with it. It is the perfect fit for the casual user. By far, Apple’s App Store has the broadest selection of apps in the smart device game with over 500,000 being built from the ground up for the iPad interface.

Android, the brainchild of Google, is similar to iOS in appearance, but functionally it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be due to its highly customizable interface. Unlike iOS, Android can be customized to your heart’s content. It is the perfect system for the computer science major who loves to tinker with specs, but it is just as suitable to somebody who is looking for a smart device that doesn’t want an oversized iPhone (the iPad) next to their regular one. The Google Play Store may not have the numbers that Apple has, but it does have far more free apps that can range from mini-games to word processors. Google even has system management applications that let you perform tasks such as sorting folders, virus scanning, and automated battery managers that tell you which applications use the most power.

There are other seemingly different operating systems such as the Amazon Kindle’s customized version of Android. Due to its lack of customization, Amazon’s tablet over-simplifies the interface and turns the Android experience into something more reminiscent of an iPad. It also has a noticeably duller palette, which veers more towards neutral grey and black throughout its various screens as opposed to iOS’s colorful setup.

Android

TOO MANY TABLETS

HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOU When it comes to schoolwork, both Android and iOS have a variety of keyboard attachments and word processors that can give your tablet the note-taking capabilities of a small laptop.

The iPad comes in two sizes. The iPad Air comes in at 10 inches across while its little brother, the iPad mini, measures 7.9 inches. In function, they are essentially the same device.

The only difference between them is the price points. If you own an iPhone or iPod Touch, you will be instantly familiar with iPad as they run the exact same operating system barring the previously mentioned tablet exclusive apps.

My favorite Android tablet is the Google Nexus 7, produced by Asus. It is offered in two memory sizes, a 16GB for $229 and a 32 GB for $269. The Nexus 7 is seven inches diagonally and has a thin profile of .34 inches that rivals the iPad minis’ .29 inches. It has a lightning fast response time that ensures your apps open in the blink of an eye. When buying a Nexus 7, verify that you’re buying the 2013 edition of the tablet. There is a 2012 edition still being sold that pales in comparison both in form and function. If one is in the market for a larger tablet, do not buy the Nexus 10, which is still

on the market with antiquated technology.

If you are in the market for a larger tablet, my recommendation would be to purchase any one of Samsung’s high quality Galaxy Tablets that range in size from seven to 12.2 inches. If you’re looking for complete laptop versatility, you should expect to pay somewhere between $1100-$1400 for a brand new machine. I personally recommend the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 at $1100. The Yoga has strong battery life, a bright screen and the rather cool ability of being bendable. The bendability of the device allows you to stand it up on its hinges. If you don’t mind buying older technology, I’d check out the Microsoft Surface 2, which can be bought refurbished for $500.

As I said before, computers can be confusing but they don’t have to be. The way that I learned which tablet was right for me was through persistent Google searching. Read reviews and don’t compromise on features for the sake of convenience. A computer is like a spouse, you better pick one that you love because it’s most likely going to be around for a long while.

Islanders Volleyball

ISLAND WAVES

Ready to Succeed

Ashley Phelps in Senior Night game against McNeese State University on Nov. 10, 2012

JEREMY PAPE contributing writer

T

he beginning of the fall semester means many things to many different people. Students are arriving back on campus, teachers are putting the finishing touches on their syllabi, and the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi Islander volleyball team is preparing to capitalize on last year’s extremely successful campaign, in which the team posted a 20-12 overall record, and a record-setting 13-5 mark in conference play.

“The team has been improving year by year, and so has its reputation [as a result]”, said Islanders head coach Tony Graystone, who is entering his sixth season at the helm.

To be successful as a team, many lessons that are beneficial for individual and team success must be taught and learned. One lesson that Graystone has sought to instill into his players’ value system is time management.

“The most important lessons I’ve learned [through playing volleyball] are leadership lessons,” said Brianna Brink, senior right side hitter.

Another lesson that Graystone noted was leadership skills, which he mentioned would be important not just for winning volleyball matches, but will also carry the members of the team through the rest of their life.

“The team has learned and grown. [As this growth has happened] the team has gotten closer and closer to the conference championship,” said Ashley Phelps, senior outside hitter. “One of the lessons I have learned is to leave it all on the court.”

The University has been growing in many different ways. As the campus has been growing physically, the volleyball team has also grown and developed as a unit. Graystone noted this, added that “ The reputation of the team has been improving year by year.” The current seniors on the volleyball team have seen some considerable

changes around the University since they have been enrolled. The players that have given A&MCorpus Christi an excellent reputation were, of course, recruited to the campus as well. “[When considering signing], I loved the school and the coaches, and I felt that we were on the same page,” said Brink.

Phelps added ,“Coach Graystone’s success with players and teams was why I wanted to play for A&M-Corpus Christi.”

Every member of a team brings something to the table, whether it is experience or abilities.

“Not to disrespect the players we have had in the past, but this year’s team is a little deeper, and their individual talents are more spread out,” said Graystone.

Every college team faces a rather significant turnaround period, as seniors graduate and freshmen are recruited to the team.

“Losing three seniors was tough, but the freshmen are working very hard. We keep setting new goals for motivation. One of those goals is winning all of the games we should,” said Brink.

Phelps added, “The team has learned to gel with whatever we have going. All [players] are on board. We all have the same work ethic.”

Setting goals is one of the other key components of a team’s success. Graystone mentioned that one of his goals is to win the Southland conference tournament.

“I want to complete the turnaround, taking that final step and making the NCAA tournament,” Graystone said.

Phelps said that her goal is to improve on last year’s performance. “[I want to] be as influential as I can be. I want to be that one person that people can rely on,” said Brink.

The team seems focused and determined on being as great as they can be, both on the court and off. The women will open their season Aug. 29 against Portland at the Baylor Invite tournament in Waco.
