Hey. I’m Lizzie Erickson, and I like to make things look good. Color, typography, shapes, layouts. These are things I like when I design. (Reading, art, travel and museums. These are things I like always.) As a designer, I value a few things. Organization is key. I like lines and grids; what can I say? Colors that work together are great. Colors that you wouldn’t expect to work together are even better. I like fonts that yell at you, but I listen to the quiet ones, too. Design is about finding what works. Finding what combination of things is going to create something people want to look at. And for me, I enjoy the process and the results.
Here are some of the results.

STOPPING THE Florida’s Heisman winner has put up big numbers in his games against Carolina Ryan Velasquez
THE DAILY GAMECOCK
As South Carolina looks to extend its home winning streak to eight tomorrow, there’s little doubt in anyone’s mind what its main challenge will be in facing the No. 1 Gators: Stopping star quarterback Tim Tebow. It’s certainly no secret that Tebow has had one of the most dominant and illustrious careers of any player in the history of college football, and one would be hard-pressed to find a team that knows that better than the Gamecocks. “He’s a force running the ball, and he’s an excellent passer,” coach Steve Spurrier said. “It’ll be a big challenge, but we’re looking forward to seeing what will happen here Saturday afternoon.” In his previous two meetings against Carolina as a starter, Tebow put up some impressive numbers, to say the least. Playing against two highly-ranked defenses, he combined for 477 yards through the air, 159 yards on the ground and 10 total touchdowns, leading his team to a total of 107 points in the process. “He’s certainly at the top of the heap in our conference,” Spurrier said. “In college, quarterback’s more about running and passing than it is in the pros, and Tim Tebow is one of the best.” As Tebow prepares for his final regular season game in the SEC, it seems only fitting that it comes against a fellow Florida quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner in Spurrier. “I don’t find it too odd. The way it worked out is cool,” Tebow said. “There’s a special relationship there. Anytime you go against a coach like him is special, but these circumstances will make it a little bit more so.”
2
One of the biggest reasons for Tebow’s success has been his consistency on third downs. So far this season, Florida has converted 45 percent of the time, ranking No. 1 in the SEC and No. 28 in the nation. “He’s been a third-down specialist for a while now. He’s one of the best short-yardage runners I’ve ever seen,” Florida coach Urban Meyer said. “On third-down efficiency, I think we’ve led the SEC every year since he’s been here, and that’s because he is making plays. Third down is the money down.” Defending on third down was a problem for Carolina in last week’s loss, as the Razorbacks managed to convert 10 of 16 attempts. As it prepares to face one of the best in that category, the Gamecock defense will need a much stronger showing. “He might be the best third-down quarterback that’s ever played,” Spurrier said. “In all of their championships, both SEC and national, he was sensational on third downs.” Despite boasting one of the nation’s best offenses, the Gators haven’t been lighting up the scoreboard quite as much this season. After averaging 43.6 points per game during their championship run last year, Florida has posted 35 points per game so far in 2009. “I think there have been little things in different games where offensively we could’ve done better,” Tebow said. “There have been a few opportunities when we left a few points on the field where we could’ve converted and put it in the end zone a few more times.” With Florida’s scoring a bit subdued as of late, USC hopes to keep it that way. “It definitely gives us confidence, but at the same time, even though they haven’t done as much as they did last year, they’ve definitely done a lot,” senior defensive tackle Nathan Pepper said. “They’re still winning, they still score on a consistent basis and they’re finding ways to get it done.” Another problem the Florida offense has faced has been protecting Tebow. So far this season, the Gators have

things I learned my
FRESHMAN YEAR
You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again: college is a whole other world. After years of the confinement and comforts of your parents’ home, you are finally on your own, which means more freedom and responsibility. Between new adventures and faces, bad decisions and experiences, and working out the kinks in independent living, here are just a few of the things you are sure to find out for yourself during your first year of USC. 1. There are few things better in this world than hitting Sunday brunch in Gibbes Court in your pajamas and watch the nicely-dressed people headed for Top of Carolina stare you down. 2. If you want to actually study and work during finals week, stay away from Thomas Cooper — it’s more like Dr. Rocco’s on a Friday night than a library in December and April. 3. Get to know your professors. Sit in the front of the classroom, pay attention and visit them during office hours. It makes a difference. 4. Your floormates in your freshman-year dorm will be your family for the next eight months. Keep your door open and treasure them. 5. SLED is a freshman’s worst enemy. Be afraid, be aware and be smart or expect your name in Monday morning’s Crime Report. 6. Add these numbers to your speed dial: local taxi companies, late-night food delivery spots, your Resident Mentor. Each will always be there for you. 7. Its better to be safe than sorry, and you might as well be safe for free. SHARE, a sexual health group made up of students, loves to pass out free contraceptives, and Thomson Student Health Center has a treasure chest of condoms available to students. 8. Set a timer for your laundry and be in the laundry room when it goes off, or expect to find wet clothes on the floor ... or missing. 9. Your wardrobe should be depleted of all orange and purple immediately and replaced with all things garnet and black. Embrace it and love it. 10. You have to try Pop’s at least once — preferably after 2 a.m. 11. Come back from Spring Break in time for St. Pat’s in Five Points. It’s a much more fun way to go green. 12. Go to the South Carolina State Fair. We live in the capital city so you should take advantage of it. Plus, you will find you can fry just about anything. 13. RMs were in your shoes just a few years ago, so those giant suitcases, laundry baskets and book bags coming through the door at 11 p.m. are not going to trick anyone. 14. USC is covered in bricks. You will trip on them and fall and people will laugh. It’s OK, every one does it. 15. Enjoy Chicken Finger Wednesday. If you eat anything else on Hump Day, you will be called out. 16. Fire alarms only seem to go off at all hours of the night, usually when you are asleep, in the shower or studying for a test. 17. Go to class and when you miss, be honest. Professors notice when you don’t show and they know every excuse in the book, and your parents will too when your final grade is a little too far down the alphabet. 18. Don’t underestimate how much fun the sprinklers going off on the Horseshoe around 2:30
a.m. can be. 19. Be prepared for the permanent cloud of smoke that floats around Gambrell Hall and the Humanities buildings. 20. The squirrels here are from another planet. They will throw acorns at you, steal your food from your plate and go after a smoker’s cigarette on the Russell House Patio. Really. 21. Snow days in Columbia do not require actual snow to touch the ground. 22. Parking is not your friend. You will be blocked out of lots without warning and you will get tickets. Fill the meter unless you want to tackle the fun that is traveling all around the city to get back your towed car. 23. Do not take the elevator unless you are going to at least the fourth floor — anything less and you might as well be wearing a Clemson shirt. 24. If you like to go to the gym to actually work out, avoid the Strom Thurmond Wellness and Fitness Center between Winter and Spring breaks. 25. It is not a real date if he or she pays with their CarolinaCard. 26. SEC football is a big deal. Pearls, cocktail dresses, tailgating that starts at 9 a.m. and earlier. Go, have fun, stay for the whole game and expect home games to be a weekend-long event. 27. Don’t go home too much. You’ll miss out on important first-year memories. 28. Your meal plan will not cover most of your meals. Enjoy those Dining Dollars! 29. Go to the Student Organization Fair on September 2 on Greene Street, in front of the Russell House. You might find your niche and the place that lands you a job or a group of friends that will define your college experience. 30. Don’t try to hit on someone at the Sexual Health presentation. It’s just creepy. 31. Your birthday and Christmas lists will primarily be comprised of gift certificates to grocery stories, Target and Wal-Mart. 32. When people ask you where you go to school, you’ll have to throw multiple e names out: USC, Carolina, South Carolina. But you’ll know we are the real USC and nobody takes the blue Carolina seriously. 33. Don’t go to a real movie theater. Wait a few months and see it at the Russell House for free. 34. Enjoy the Ramen Noodles and d Easy Mac now — freshman year is the only year they will be regarded as legitimate meals. 35. Add Tuesdays and Thursdays (maybe ayb ybe ybe even Wednesdays) to your weekends. 36. Look out for the first-year fraternity ernity it pledges at tailgating for the first home game.
Watch and laugh. 37. Freshmen are punished with classes in Swearingen, but you can always make it from anywhere in 15 minutes. 38. Do not hook up or make out with anyone on your floor. Yes, co-ed dorms are fun, but the daily regretful run-ins after the fact are not. 39. When you’re sick, go to the Thompson Student Health Center. For everyone’s sake. 40. Your roommate will drive you nuts and you’ll both probably want to kill each other at some point, but it’s a good learning experience and you might have just met your best friend. 41. Corey Smith is the official musician of choice for freshmen. Be prepared for a year of “Drinking Again” and “Wishing I Was 21,” but after it’s over, you won’t want him to “Do It Again.” 42. If you drive, you could actually miss class due to being stuck by the trains. 43. When you visit your parents’ house, you are actually disappointed when they want to take you out to dinner, because all you want is a home-cooked meal. 44. Do not leave your car in Five Points overnight. 45. Twister on the elevator in your dorm is always a good idea. 47. Insomnia Cookies delivers between 8 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. Enjoy the deliciousness that is the parked van in Five Points and the late-night delivery. 48. If you are single, you will probably have a date at California Dreaming. 49. It is not uncommon to see people in camouflage, plastic outfits, white T-shirts with vulgar things written all over them and decade outfits on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Themed parties take over fall semester, Greek and non-Greek alike. 50. 8 a.m. classes never get any easier. Avoid them at all costs. Comments on this story? E-mail gamecockfeatures@sc.edu
