GATSBY OR GREEK? The first time I was invited to a college party, I was a freshman living in Cougar Village 1 when two or three of my newly acquired friends showed up at my door dressed in all the frills and makeup of 1920s partygoers.

Maybe it was because of my nerdy obsession with the 1920s, or maybe it was because my roommate let me borrow her gold dress dripping with fringe, but either way I was dressed up—complete with feather headband—in a whirlwind 15 minutes after they showed up.

I suppose my excitement and the fact that I was pretending with all my little, freshman heart to be a Gatsby-era party girl made the sketchy walk across the metro tracks to Bayou Oaks a little better. But when we arrived at the frat house, things started to change.

Everyone was drinking or pretending to drink, and to my personal horror there were at least five other girls all wearing slight variations of my once-oneof-a-kind gold flapper dress.

Everyone looked at us as we walked in like we were aliens to their world at Bayou Oaks.

Soon, a school-bus-turned-partybus pulled up to the front and people started filing in until it felt like a yellow can of sardines.

Of course I was on the bus too, I wasn’t about to be left out; but as we pulled away I realized in partial horror that I had no idea where this bus was taking us.

The rest of the party was presumably at a night club in midtown, although to this day I am not entirely sure where I was. The dancing was fun, and I was finally able to let myself feel the romanticized version of what I imagined a Gatsby party would be like: swaying bodies 4

and sweaty girls whose flapper dresses kept swishing in time with the music, while everyone drank champagne (just kidding, it was tequila).

Toward the end of the night, I was outside the club to get some fresh air when a drunk boy stumbled outside and sat down next to me, Slurring his words, he looked at me and said, “You look just like Daisy Buchanan from The Great Gatsby.”

I was flattered at first; he thought I looked like Daisy Buchanan and that was enough for me (he probably meant the actress Carey Mulligan from the 2013 film, but still).

But as he slumped over and I caught a whiff of alcohol permeating from his skin, the compliment lost its validity and I was ready to leave. I don’t really remember the rest of the ride home, but I do remember being overjoyed to get out of the bus, out of that gold-fringed dress and out of my naïve expectations of what I thought that party was going to be like.

Four years later, I still enjoy the historical 1920s and I still like the thrill of dressing up and going out with friends to try new things, but I’ve learned that the word “party” is completely subjective. When I went to that party four years ago, I had a preconceived notion of what a party was. But now, I know that my version of a party generally involves friends, food, board games and more food.

This is not to say that Greek life parties are not real parties, because they definitely are— just look at Frontier Fiesta, for example—they just aren’t my cup of tea. Parties can be cosplay conventions or they can be relaxing with a pint of beer and your closest friends.

The point of parties is to have fun, and that’s what you’ll find inside the pages of this issue of Cooglife: fun people doing things they enjoy, because parties don’t have a specific definition.

So excuse me while I hang up my gold fringe Gatsby dress, it’s gone out of style.

For the Love of Cosplay

STORY AND ART BY JULIE ARAICA

It was past midnight, below 30 degrees Fahrenheit (freezing in Houston) and I was lost, wearing nothing but an apron and a pair of flip flops. After an hour of searching, I found my car, and while I made the 40-minute drive from downtown to my house in Katy, blind in one eye after losing a contact, for first time I asked myself, “Should I stop cosplaying?”

COOGLIFE // APRIL 2017

It was a ripe 30 degrees last February when I wandered the streets of downtown alone for the first time, and I had nothing more than an apron and a pair of flip flops to keep me warm.

As I spent the hour aimlessly searching for my car, my mind played with the idea that I might be stranded and what would become of me if that were the case.

It was only then, when I found my car and started my 40-minute drive home at midnight while blinded in one eye after losing my yellow, snakelike circle lenses, that for the first time, I asked myself: Should I stop cosplaying?

I had plenty of reasons to stop: it was expensive, my parents thought it was a waste of time, some of my friends thought it was lame and some people thought I did it just to objectify myself.

Despite all these reasons against it, there was one to continue—and it was the only one that mattered: I love it.

I’ll be the first to admit that cosplaying isn’t for everyone, and that the idea seemed a bit stupid to me at first.

Cosplay is a contraction of the words costume play, and is essentially dressing as a character.

Describing it like that, it sounds like nothing more than just dressing up for Halloween. For a while, I thought it was just that. A bunch of people all dressing up like it’s Halloween and going to a giant convention to walk around and show off their costumes.

What I, and many non-cosplayers, failed to recognize is the culture behind cosplaying and conventions.

Cosplaying is a way for people to escape the tedious grind of their everyday lives and be a part of something much larger than themselves. It’s a way for them to show off their craftiness and creativity while also paying homage to their favorite characters and conventions give them the platform to meet others with the same hobbies and interests.

character: D.va

I will be cosplaying as D.va for Comicpalooza this year, the playful heroine from the game Overwatch.

COOGLIFE // APRIL 2017

Only one word can accurately capture my first convention: surreal.

I was a sophomore in high school, and I dressed as a Lucy from Elfen Lied. She wasn’t exactly my favorite character, but one that was easy enough to make.

I didn’t really know what to expect while I waited in line for two hours for the convention doors to open. I came with a group of friends—three boys from school. It was my idea to come, and they eagerly accepted my invitation, even though only one of them with any previous experience when it came to conventions.

While I waited in line, people recognized my character and shouted out her name in excitement.

I thought to myself: Oh right, that’s me!

I expected that the convention would just be us aimlessly wandering the Merch Hall, deciding where to spend what little money we had.

Instead, every ten minutes I was stopped by someone who recognized my character and eagerly asked for a picture.

Shinobu Oshino and most recently, and perhaps more depressingly, a convention goer dressed as nothing more than another convention goer.

Going to an anime/comic convention not cosplaying is far from the worst experience ever, and I’d say it definitely comes with its benefits as well, like not having to stress about something going wrong with the costume.

I thought to myself: Oh right, that’s me!

It felt a bit odd. Why did they want a picture with me when there were so many others with a much better costume than mine? But over the course of the convention, these thoughts slowly faded away.

I’d always been such a nerd growing up, but I’d never call myself an exhibitionist.

Attention from other people made me uncomfortable, but when I became that character, I must’ve taken some of their confidence as well.

I felt accomplished for being so easily recognizable and spent the day with my friends panel hopping, going to an overrated maid cafe, attending a small venue where a pianist took my song request for “One Summer’s Day” and went to a concert for a J-rock band I did not care for. The next day was equally eventful, spent going to a Japanese fashion show, a Lolita wedding and attending a panel on the cultural comparison between Western and Eastern fantasy that is still more interesting and compelling than any lecture I’ve attended yet.

The experience was great for my first convention, in fact, it might have been too good, for I found it hard for any experience to live up to it since.

The next conventions I attended as the Aussie comic book bad ass Tank Girl, the 500-year-old vampire trapped in a child’s body from the Monogatari series

However, it definitely made me, as a cosplayer at heart, feel a certain disconnect from the entire experience. I find it ironic that by dressing up like someone else, I feel more at peace with myself. I feel like I’m a part of a community that embraces what I do and what I’m passionate about.

wide open, only to accuse me of being out of character when I adamantly refused to do so.

After attending my last convention out of cosplay, I decided that for my next convention, I would dress as my most well-known character yet, D.Va from the game Overwatch.

This year I plan to attend both Anime Matsuri and Comicpalooza per usual but I plan to attend Anime Matsuri out of cosplay for the first time, saving my costume for Comicpalooza.

This costume, like my others, is the product of hours of work and craftsmanship in order to portray a character I love in the most accurate way possible.

However, this costume is special to me.

Not because it’s such a drastic step up from my others in terms of quality, but because it signifies a shift in my attitude about what I do and why I do it. I will be cosplaying until my hair turns grey, even if that means I’ll spend a ton of money and endure a bunch of criticism and harassment. Because for me, there’s nothing I cherish more than being a part of this community.

EXCEPTIONAL

Midtown Living

Of course, there are a few bad experiences I’ve encountered while cosplaying. When I was dressed as Lucy, I had a drunken man following me around the convention calling me his “waifu” and begging me to get a drink with him.

He didn’t realize that I was only 15.

While I was dressed as Shinobu, I had a photographer who was taking pictures of me ask me to touch my bare feet and spread my legs

FEEL UNSAFE? THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT It’s Saturday, there’s no school, your homework is (almost) finished and you just want to let loose and party. But, the last thing you want to worry about is the possibility of endangering your life. As much as we want to dismiss the truth, the facts are there: approximately 33% of rape occurs on a college campus, which has increased from the former known “one in four.”

BY TIMOTHY NGUYEN

Before you think that it doesn’t really happen all that often, remember that there are different forms of rape and abuse. But more importantly, most forms of sexual assault go unreported.

Why is that? First off, over a third of rape victims are friends or acquainted with the perpetrator. Second, victims are afraid of retaliation from their rapist. According to collegestats.org there are other reasons including embarrassment, self blame, and judgment from peers.

Here at UH, we want to help prevent this from even happening in the first place. You can’t control other people and their actions, but you can protect yourself with education, awareness, and other tools including self defense classes and accessories, and even apps.

TAPSHIELD

A very easy to use app, similar to

10:05 PM

Google maps. You can send friends or family your route and estimated time of arrival. If there’s trouble before you get there, in a tap of a button, they will be alerted. Other features include realtime crime reports in your area, and send alerts with specific details such as pain areas or emergency needs besides assault.

BSAFE

An app that will let you choose “Guardians” who will be alerted when situations occur. There’s an automated alarm function that will alert these guardians if you fail to disarm then at specific times.

ONWATCH

Similar to the first two apps, this one contains a GPS function that stays on even when the app is closed. If anything were to occur, loved ones will be able to track you down.

SAFE HELPLINE

This app is more of an information guide. There are tips and other information that can help those who have been sexually assaulted, and to reduce the chance of it happening.

REACHOUT

Another information guide that contains resources and personal help regarding sexual assault. It contains step by step guides, medical assistance and other helpful information.

SIMPLE SAFETY

If you’re not tech savy or you want to talk to a professional anonymously, here are some numbers that you can call that will help you, or someone in need, judgment free: • Domestic Violence Hotline (Houston) – 713-528-2121 • Rape Crisis Hotline (Houston) – 713-5287273 • UH Wellness - 713 743-5430 • National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800656-HOPE (4673) You can also go to the Houston Area Women’s Center if you want in-person assistance at 1010 Waugh Drive, Houston, TX. 77019, as well as the Women’s Sexual Assault Survivors Support Group at the Montrose Center.

It is open on Mondays from 6:30-8:00 p.m.

To find therapists, you can go online at groups.psychologytoday.com and type in “sexual abuse therapists” to find the help you need.

Finding the help you need is viable to your recovery and will help with your future psychological health. Remember, it is NEVER the victims fault, and they should never be blamed for any part of the situation. There are many ways however, to prevent an attack on you or someone you know: • Take a self defense class.

• Keep friends and family posted on where you are going, when you arrive and leave, and when you are safely home.

• Take advantage of campus security or escort service while walking back to your car at night.

• Make your social media private, be careful of the location tags, and try not to give away where you were in a picture.

• Keep an eye on your beverage while at a social event as well as other people’s drinks.

• Know your limits while drinking.

• Follow your gut instincts if you feel a situation might be dangerous.

• Always travel with a friend or a group whenever possible.

For those of you who aren’t a survivor but are close to one, remember to offer support and help in any way you can. Remember the services and advice offered at your campus to help your friend through this traumatic experience. Lastly, if you witness the situation before, or during the event, not matter if you think you know if it’s happening or not, always butt in. the worst feeling is knowing you could have helped but didn’t.

Have you ever felt unsafe at a party?

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism estimates that each year around 1,825 students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from unintentional alcoholrelated injuries, and 97,000 students within that same age range experience alcoholrelated sexual assault.

BY KATELYN KENNEY

Because these statistics are enough to crash any party, Cooglife reached out to students to see if they have ever felt unsafe at a party. We hope all our Cougars feel safe when they go out, but if you ever find yourself in an unsafe situation, remember UHPD (713-743-3333) is there for you.

”

“Not really. Obviously as a freshman or sophomore you’re newer to the environment, so things can go wrong very quickly in those situations, but I’ve always made sure that whenever I’m going to go out I’m with somebody that has my best interests in mind. Now that I think about it, there was one time I felt more uncomfortable.

It was somebody’s birthday party off-campus; to celebrate, they brought out this blow-up doll of a woman and started beating it, and it just made everybody feel uncomfortable in that space.”

“Yes, it was my freshman year, and I went to my first and only frat party.

I literally knew two people in the room, and I had only known those people for two weeks. The feeling of being unsafe went away, but definitely towards the end of it, I was very, very cautious about what I did and how I looked at people. I was just like, ‘I’m going to be in control right now.’”

brew of h

STORY AND PHOTOS BY KARIS JOHNSON AND DEAN SUCHY

If you’re reading this review with a chilled nitro craftbrew, hops-infused IPA in hand while wearing hipster shades and pomade in your hair, let me clear something up first and foremost: I don’t know anything about beer – especially craft beer.

Now that that’s out of the way, let me also reassure you that my insignificant knowledge of beer and its descriptive terminology has not hindered my love for it or for how many wonderful craft breweries there are in Houston. And in one of the most prominent H-town breweries, 8th Wonder, there is an especially tantalizing reason for me to break out of my beer comfort zone: The Cougar Paw beer.

I was immediately intrigued with the idea of trying a beer named after my beloved Cougars of course, so I made the trip to 8th Wonder, ordered a pint (or two) and looked up a glossary of beer terms.

Know to its makers as “Brew of H,” the Cougar Paw beer is offered on tap at 8th Wonder in both nitro and regular brews at $5 per cup and $8 for a pint in a collectable glass. For the sake of this article, I tried both and they did not disappoint.

The manager of 8th Wonder and UH alumnus, Bobby Mirelis, said the red ale, which was first brewed last year before the start of the UH football season, is a hit in Houston, especially with Cougar fans.

“We had a big (football) season coming up, and we wanted to put up the Cougar Paw right when the season began,” Mirelis said. “It’s very popular.”

10

COOGLIFE // APRIL 2017

The red ale is a fairly light beer with a slight twang and a sharp, crisp finish. It boasts a smooth start and a slight bitterness at the end that adds to the overall mediumto-dark taste of the beer.

“The Cougar Paw nitro brew gives it a different kind of appeal for the beer connoisseurs,” Mirelis said.

That’s why I wasn’t as fond of it, I guess. The nitro brew was more hoppy than the original, and while the suds on top were a fun addition, I preferred the smoothness of the original over the bitterness of the nitro.

Each sip I took I found myself enjoying the original Cougar Paw brew more and more, and although I’ve always been more of a pale ale person, the red was a refreshingly new experience. I liked the simplicity and clarity of the beer, and I ordered another pint without hesitation. (I told myself it was for the purpose of writing this review, but we all know the truth).

What’s the coolest part about the Cougar Paw? The proceeds made from the brew at the 8th Wonder location go toward scholarship funds at the University of Houston.

That made paying $13 for two glasses of beer a little sweeter, in my opinion.

Be on the lookout for the Cougar Paw in the upcoming football season, as it is sold on tap in the UH TDECU stadium.

Whether you’re the University’s biggest fan or just looking for a new favorite beer, the Cougar Paw delivers. We even heard that Tom Herman supporters are drinking it; take that, UT.

hangover cures WRITTEN BY KARIN KELLER ART BY RAMIRO ARMENDARIZ

Blinding lights, throbbing headaches, persistent nausea—all symptoms of the dreaded hangover.

Dehydration, low blood sugar, sleep quality and stomach irritation are all factors that cause hangovers.

Fear not, I am here to help; here are my fi ve tips to combat your hangover woes.

GET SOME GRUB Being proactive is key. Drinking on an empty stomach might get you drunk faster, but it will also ensure a killer hangover the next morning.

Without any food to soften the blow, consuming alcohol will raise the production of acids in the stomach leaving you extremely nauseous.

Get yourself a hardy dinner with a tall glass of water and make your way to midtown for a night of fun.

1.

DRINK (MORE) WATER Water is your best friend. Dehydration is one of the key factors of a hangover, so drinking water is crucial. I realize that drinking glasses of water while you’re out might not be “cool,” but it’ll save you from a blistering headache the next morning. For every

shot you take you should drink at least one glass of water. Drink water before you go out and lots before you go to sleep and you should be good to go the next morning.

POP SOME ADVIL Medicate. Although not everyone is fond of taking medications I promise it will help. An Advil or two before bed will change the way you wake up in the morning. This has never failed me. It might not solve any stomach-related issues but it will be a major help to headaches and light sensitivity.

Find a class or go with a friend to make it somewhat less miserable or even in the comfort of your living room. Remember to stay hydrated during your work

Follow these tips on your next night out and you’re sure to have an easier time waking up the next morning.

AN OUTSIDER ON THE FRONTIER elbows with greeks like I was in the Mediterranean.

There are certainly upstanding and impressive hellenic organizations, but the image and idea of “greek life” without simply delving into stereotypes has always been something that I fundamentally could never see myself being a part of.

My part in Delta Gamma’s production certainly opened my eyes to a few things regarding Frontier The various greek letters Fiesta’s both positive and emblazoning most of negative aspects, though. these structures gave the And spending that much impression, however, that I time with frat guys, while would not be entering them they were all exceedingly at any point in my college nice, was definitely a culture career. shock.

One year out and At the very least, I’m surprisingly I’m helping out happy to have found out in one of those structures as that those big wooden the token non-greek in Delta structures lining the streets Gamma’s production “Super of Fiesta City are open Cogs: The Fight to Save to all attendees and the Frontier Fiesta,” rubbing cheesy productions that go on inside are definitely something that all students should see and appreciate the work involved in putting on.

While the average student can stroll into any of these structures, how about the rest of Fiesta? Not so much.

While I understand that “exclusivity” is a draw for joining greek life, it’s nothing but a deterrent for most people interested in attending Frontier Fiesta.

WRITTEN BY GREG FAILS PHOTOS BY JUSTIN CROSS

My first year attending Frontier Fiesta primarily lasted the duration of Rae Sremmurds’ technicaldifficulty-laden 2016 headlining performance.

My initial impressions at the time were amazement at the scale of the concert stage and few carnival rides present as well as curiosity over the colorfully designed wood-front structures that make up “Fiesta City.”

T E G R O F T DON’ UPCOMING DATES & DEADLINES

ADVICE FOR ORGANIZATIONS AT FRONTIER FIESTA Be where students can see you, open air tents and booths work great for this and will help bring you foot traffic.

Get ready to register! Summer/Fall enrollment by appointment begins April 8 for grad students and April 10 for undergrads!

Try to have whatever you’re doing be interactive to attendees in some way.

The festival’s reputation as a “Greek block party” is something it’s certainly earned, and for the average attendee it’s disappointing to walk onto the grounds just to find out that they can’t really do anything in most of it.

Outside of the headlining concerts all that’s there for most attendees is a mini version of Shasta’s, one food tent, Willie’s theater, the food trucks, two carnival rides and the branded tents for groups like Aspen and Kind.

While it would be a nice outreach for greek organizations to band together to provide some sort of entertainment for us non-hellenic peons, we can certainly accomplish this ourselves.

I think one of the most successful and interesting events at Frontier Fiesta was Uncommon Color’s open stage event where artists did live painting and fire drawing and various musical acts performed for a pretty well-numbered crowd.

It would be great to see more student organizations involved and holding events at Frontier and is vital to sparking student interest in the festivities.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

FAREWELL TO OUR FRIEND It is impossible to say when the White-Tailed Squirrel appeared on campus, but here's a date: April 26, 2015.

This was the day that the editors first began to envision Cooglife magazine, the day The Cougar and the Center for Student Media made public the repurposing of the Life & Arts section into a sexier, student-focused publication. Our editors were traversing campus together when then–Editor in Chief Glissette Santana found us and broke the news.

It was on many crosscampus strolls over the course of that summer that the Cooglife team first discovered the White-Tailed Squirrel. We stopped, took pictures and ogled at her beauty. She became a friend to us on long summer days spent biking to campus and

sitting in meetings planning our brand.

In fact, the first Cooglife magazines featured a squirrel as our mascot, and we peppered the cute critters throughout the issues for readers to find.

Originally, we planned for that squirrel to have a white tail and a blue eye, but we worried that the nowdeceased squirrel didn't have enough prominence on campus yet.

A year later, Cooglife reconvened and, with the help of some incredible new team members, decided that the only mascot that could represent us was the WhiteTailed Squirrel. She became an official member of the family, and we have featured an image of her next to our executive editor in every issue since August.

28 400+ INFINITE

This month, we are said to have to say goodbye to such an important member of Cooglife's team—someone who brought us joy and a sense of community even before we printed for the first time.

At the end of month, we will also say goodbye to our original and founding editors who have worked to make Cooglife a vital part of campus lifestyle and culture— the ones who stopped and played with our squirrel friend and made the decision to incorporate her into the magazine. Like our dearest and most beloved mascot passes on to whatever is next, they too must move on.

But it is Cooglife's

and the University's style to never forget a friend.

For this reason, the WhiteTailed Squirrel will remain our official mascot for as long as we print, so that we will always remember how unique and special every member of the UH community is.

May she rest in peace.
