COVER UNCOVERING THE LIFE AND INTERESTS OF

Junior Carolina Amorim Leads Dedicated G.A.M.E

By CHARLOTTE HANSEN Staff Writer

In a recent interview with Carolina Amorim, president of Lynn’s G.A.M.E. club, students were offered a glimpse into the world of G.A.M.E. and to what the club’s members are all about.

Amorim, sophomore, is a digital arts and design major, but is most notably known as an avid gamer as well. According to Amorim, there is not one type of game that she does not play.

“Actually, when I was younger, I learned how to play video games before I learned how to talk,” she said.

Having grown up on classic systems such as Nintendo, Xbox and PlayStation, Amorim has gaming in her blood.

The G.A.M.E. Club first came

into existence as a small group of friends who wanted to hang out together and talk about movies, video games and even catch up with each other about

new releases coming out.

To many people, this was a huge draw to the club and over the last year, about 60 people have joined and attended meetings faithfully.

But it is not always video games that bring people in to join the club.

“Starting the meeting up, making a joke and having everyone laugh. I think that’s what drove me to it,” said Amorim. “Just having everyone be happy and like a family.”

With new movies such as “Star Wars: Rogue One” premiering and new video games being released for the PlayStation, the club has a lot to

look forward to in the coming months. Some of the members have also applied for the J-Term trip to Japan and are waiting to hear back about their acceptance into the program.

Members also anticipate attending the Morikami Gardens in Boca Raton, for monthly gaming conventions that will be hosted there.

“We’re thinking of getting tickets to different events, conventions, stuff like that,” said Amorim.

When asked about -CAROLINA AMORIM whether or not members could give suggestions, Amorim instantly responded with enthusiasm.“No idea is a bad idea, is the way I see it. Any idea could lead to a better idea, [which] could lead to greater things.”

The G.A.M.E. Club meets every Friday at 5 p.m. for regular meetings. More information regarding G.A.M.E club membership and meeting schedules is available online at lynnuniversity.edu.

“ANY IDEA COULD LEAD TO A BETTER IDEA.”

FITNESS FRIDAY SCROLLING FEEDS FOR FITNESS MOTIVATION

Get Fit And Healthy One Social Media Post At A T ime

By LAURA GARRIDO Staff Writer In today’s technological age, many may agree that it is difficult to find anyone who does not utilize social media applications like Instagram, on a daily basis.

A scroll through the app’s feed can often inspire anyone who is looking to achieve a toned body through posted exercise routines, meal planning tips and frequent motivation posts. Maria Beltran, sophomore, recently launched her own fitness Instagram account, The50finest, where people can find everything from fun workout moves and healthyeating advice, to positive thinking.

Beltran believes that healthy living is within everyone’s reach, but that it is important to know that it is a decision that has to be persistent and a long-term commitment. Beltran shared how she was inspired to start this new project, and how it has been received by her many followers.

“The whole creative process of my account has been something out of pure love,” said Beltran. “I wanted to incorporate my passion and the want to help others through my experience and knowledge.”

Beltran’s ultimate goal is to turn her passion into a profitable platform.

Wherever students are on their healthy-living journeys, they should know someone else has been there before. They just have to

“TAKING CARE OF MY BODY BECAME MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.”

“I WANTED TO HELP OTHERS.”

-MARIA BELTRAN Beltran explains that striving to live a healthy life was not an easy task. Tired of unhealthy diets and weight fluctuation, she decided it was time for a change.

“I started to get into fitness because I was in a very low point in my life. I lost weight, I gained weight, over and over again. I was sick of it,” said Beltran. “Taking care of my body became my number one priority - getting to know it from the inside out. When I saw the tremendous shift I felt a responsibility to share my
