Being a workaholic is both a blessing and a curse. It’s different than being someone who likes to work. Workaholics become obsessed with work, almost to a dangerous point, according to an article on healthday.com And it goes unnoticed by so many. I’ve heard several people tell me how lucky I am to be such a focused, determined student. And sure, it can be very beneficial in getting projects done and putting in extra effort, but it also has its limitations. I don’t rely on people to help me solve problems, and I hardly ask questions in class. If I can’t figure something out, I do the research myself or ask my professor for additional material instead of asking for their help. I’ve never liked people doing things for me, which has helped me become a stronger student and worker.

Let’s wait on football and lacrosse EDITORIAL
President Frederick G. Slabach has put together a task force to explore the idea of a men’s football team and a woman’s lacrosse team. The decision to have these two teams should not even be considered until several improvements to the athletic department have been made. The current funding for athletics is not even supported by athletic boosters, which the majority of both private and public school use to provide the department with resources. To even begin considering the two new teams, Wesleyan should focus on generating money for the current teams by starting an athletic booster. Even if Wesleyan started a booster, adding two new teams, especially football, would cost millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Wesleyan should not raise tuition for these teams. It would be unfair to students. If students wanted to attend a private university in Fort Worth with an excellent sports program and pay tons of money to do so, they can go to Texas Christian University. Raising tuition for sports would not make Wesleyan stand out or provide students with an affordable private college experience, which is the brand image the university is adamant about. And any money donated by alumni shouldn’t be used for two new teams when several other investments need to take place. The school needs to focus on the improving the awful conditions of the athletic facilities. There is no track for the track team, no tennis court, only one gym to be shared among volleyball, men and women’s basketball and table tennis. Several teams have to play off campus. Martin Field needs several upgrades. Plus, the football and lacrosse teams would need a field. The two sports could share a field, which

going to and from another city to practice and play. It isn’t fair to the athletes. Also, school spirit is not that great at Wesleyan. Even though a football team might bring more spirit to the school, the university should work on promoting school spirit before the two teams are brought in. Most of the students on campus are non-
traditional students, and while the university has many athletes, the school is more focused on academics than sports. Many students come here because they prefer the individual attention they receive from their professors. That, and taking care of the athletes we already have, should be what Wesleyan focuses on for the foreseeable future.
Overachiever: Diary of a workaholic Valerie Spears Editor In Chief vlspears@txwes.edu
Being a workaholic is both a blessing and a curse. It’s different than being someone who likes to work. Workaholics become obsessed with work, almost to a dangerous point, according to an article on healthday.com And it goes unnoticed by so many. I’ve heard several people tell me how lucky I am to be such a focused, determined student. And sure, it can be very beneficial in getting projects done and putting in extra effort, but it also has its limitations. I don’t rely on people to help me solve problems, and I hardly ask questions in class. If I can’t figure something out, I do the research myself or ask my professor for additional material instead of asking for their help. I’ve never liked people doing things for me, which has helped me become a stronger student and worker.
But on the other hand, I have a very small circle of friends and never spend time relaxing. I don’t like to be distracted from my goals, which often leaves me pushing people out of my life. I find myself struggling to maintain friendships and relationships because I am a workaholic. Even my family gets left behind. I also get so absorbed in my classes, work and extracurricular activities that I forget to give myself time to relax, which causes a lot of stress and anxiety. And when you are so consumed in your work, you can’t sleep at night. You lay awake all night thinking about how you can improve your next project, or what you need to do in the morning. It’s awful. It is hard for workaholics to take the time to not worry about what we are doing, and it is a terrible problem that workaholics face. In fact, workaholics can face insomnia, anxiety and heart disease on top of ruined marriages, according to an article on forbes.com. But breaking the habit is very difficult. My recommendation for college students who struggle finding the balance of work and family is to make a schedule. Every day I create a list of things I need to get done and what I need to do to relax. I also write down when I called or visited my parents

so I know if it has been a while since I talked to them. Being able to see what you are doing will help you not overwork and keep you from not talking to your family for months, which I am guilty of. I also recommend picking up running, yoga or meditation. Doing just one of these things for 30 minutes a day can keep you relaxed. While doing these things seem difficult to
the workaholic, it can actually improve your work, reducing your stress levels and keeping you healthy, which allows you to work better and smarter, something workaholics love. According to health.harvard.edu, exercising can reduce the anxiety, insomnia and heart disease risks caused by being a workaholic. Students who are workaholics should find the time to relax before the problem becomes too serious.

Crimson Peak is a dark and chilling ghost story with its own gothic twist that absolutely begs the question: What will you do for love? Guillermo del Toro weaves another masterpiece with Peak (119 minutes, rated R) as he has done with such films as Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy and the Hobbit trilogy. And it is beautiful. Del Toro takes us through the tale of the young Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) as she meets and marries Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and is brought to Allerdale Hall in the middle of nowhere in England, where she meets Sharpe’s sibling, Lady Lucille Sharpe (Jessica Chastain). And that’s when the real horror begins. But under all the scares, del Toro unveils a dangerous, creepy love story that could be mistaken for something from

Her favorite treat in the maple bacon bourbon was that it actually has tiny pieces of bacon in the pop. So to all bacon lovers out there, this pop is for you! These unique flavors are exactly what make Steel City Pops special. Most flavors offered can’t be found in the freezers of your grocery stores. Much to Rebekah’s surprise, the Arnold Palmer pop tasted exactly like the classic drink containing lemonade and tea.

But on the other hand, I have a very small circle of friends and never spend time relaxing. I don’t like to be distracted from my goals, which often leaves me pushing people out of my life. I find myself struggling to maintain friendships and relationships because I am a workaholic. Even my family gets left behind. I also get so absorbed in my classes, work and extracurricular activities that I forget to give myself time to relax, which causes a lot of stress and anxiety. And when you are so consumed in your work, you can’t sleep at night. You lay awake all night thinking about how you can improve your next project, or what you need to do in the morning. It’s awful. It is hard for workaholics to take the time to not worry about what we are doing, and it is a terrible problem that workaholics face. In fact, workaholics can face insomnia, anxiety and heart disease on top of ruined marriages, according to an article on forbes.com. But breaking the habit is very difficult. My recommendation for college students who struggle finding the balance of work and family is to make a schedule. Every day I create a list of things I need to get done and what I need to do to relax. I also write down when I called or visited my parents

could easily be converted from football to lacrosse. But where would they play? Would Wesleyan build its own stadium, and if the university did, where would it go? Not even the University of Texas at Arlington has a football team and it has a stadium. Sure, Wesleyan could probably pay UTA a fee to use this stadium, but that would just be another team having to spend money on gas

Willis said that the biggest challenge this season was dealing with the extra work. “I definitely had to learn how to balance school and tennis,” she said. “Traveling a lot made me learn things like time-management.” Murchland’s transition from her home in New Zealand to America started off a little rough. “It’s been a mess of change for me,” she said. “Coming onto a new team and going to all these tournaments in all these states is overwhelming.” Willis said she believes that near future can hold great things for them if they put in the work. “I think we can do a lot within the next two years and it’s not just the skill but the character,” she said. “We all get along really well and I think that if we keep it up we can make it to nationals.”

“The offseason will test and see how much ownership these girls are willing to take into their game and I think they have it,” Martinez said. “We are going to come up with a plan to eliminate weaknesses and improve injury, that’s number one.” Ashton Willis and Emily Murchland, both freshmen, also said this first season was a great success. “I think it went really well, a lot better than I expected actually,” Willis said. “Only because we were a new team and I didn’t exactly know how we would perform.” Murchland said much of that success can be credited to Martinez. “He was really good with the team and always made sure everyone worked hard in training,” she said. “He’s a great coach and he really knows what he’s talking about. It was really helpful throughout the season.”
girls have responded every time we’ve had to correct things so I’m really excited for what the future holds.” Wesleyan last had a tennis team in 2002. In September, Athletic Director Steve Trachier said the team had been brought back so more women could play sports. “We started doing some research and it looked like tennis would be a good sport to start up for women,” he said. Martinez, who coached in high school for 31 years, said he believes that this season’s success is due to recruiting. “We didn’t really recruit talent first,” Martinez said. “We recruited character, individuals I could trust and individuals who could be accountable for their actions.” Martinez said that even though the NAIA forbids any interaction between a player and coach, the team is still training hard in the offseason.

Texas Wesleyan’s new tennis team just wrapped up its first season and head coach Angel Martinez is looking forward to the next one. Finishing with a record of one win and no losses in dual competition, 57-61 in singles and 31-34 in doubles matches, the team had a great season, Martinez said. “In every tournament, except for one, we were in the finals and won titles,” Martinez said. “Against NAIA competition we have only lost two matches the whole season.” Martinez said that he has seen a lot of improvement from his team over the course of the season. “From what I’ve seen from the first day of practice up until now the improvement has been incredible,” Martinez said. “The

President Frederick G. Slabach has put together a task force to explore the idea of a men’s football team and a woman’s lacrosse team. The decision to have these two teams should not even be considered until several improvements to the athletic department have been made. The current funding for athletics is not even supported by athletic boosters, which the majority of both private and public school use to provide the department with resources. To even begin considering the two new teams, Wesleyan should focus on generating money for the current teams by starting an athletic booster. Even if Wesleyan started a booster, adding two new teams, especially football, would cost millions of dollars. Where is this money coming from? Wesleyan should not raise tuition for these teams. It would be unfair to students. If students wanted to attend a private university in Fort Worth with an excellent sports program and pay tons of money to do so, they can go to Texas Christian University. Raising tuition for sports would not make Wesleyan stand out or provide students with an affordable private college experience, which is the brand image the university is adamant about. And any money donated by alumni shouldn’t be used for two new teams when several other investments need to take place. The school needs to focus on the improving the awful conditions of the athletic facilities. There is no track for the track team, no tennis court, only one gym to be shared among volleyball, men and women’s basketball and table tennis. Several teams have to play off campus. Martin Field needs several upgrades. Plus, the football and lacrosse teams would need a field. The two sports could share a field, which

Crimson Peak focuses on storytelling
Crimson Peak is a dark and chilling ghost story with its own gothic twist that absolutely begs the question: What will you do for love? Guillermo del Toro weaves another masterpiece with Peak (119 minutes, rated R) as he has done with such films as Pan’s Labyrinth, Hellboy and the Hobbit trilogy. And it is beautiful. Del Toro takes us through the tale of the young Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) as she meets and marries Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston) and is brought to Allerdale Hall in the middle of nowhere in England, where she meets Sharpe’s sibling, Lady Lucille Sharpe (Jessica Chastain). And that’s when the real horror begins. But under all the scares, del Toro unveils a dangerous, creepy love story that could be mistaken for something from

fect combination of fruits. It was sweet, refreshing and had a perfect texture. Rebekah tried the maple bacon bourbon and Arnold Palmer pops. Her favorite treat in the maple bacon bourbon was that it actually has tiny pieces of bacon in the pop. So to all bacon lovers out there, this pop is for you! These unique flavors are exactly what make Steel City Pops special. Most flavors offered can’t be found in the freezers of your grocery stores. Much to Rebekah’s surprise, the Arnold Palmer pop tasted exactly like the classic drink containing lemonade and tea. We decided that this would be a great addition to the year round menu at Steel City Pops. Steel City Pops is open noon to 10 p.m. Sunday thruough Thursday and noon to 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. There are multiple parking garages around the shop, and if your visit is under two hours, parking is free. For more information, call 817-744-8544.
the likes of Edgar Allen Poe himself. Hiddleston and Chastain play their roles to the fullest, with the latter delivering an Oscar-worthy performance. Both actors play off each other well, with Hiddleston taking the lead until the latter part of the film. Chastain deserves individual praise for her performance. She brings new meaning to the term “vicious” as she portrays the grim Lady Sharp. Each line is spoken with immense emotion and enough ice to chill the bone. Wasikowska takes the role of Cushing and turns it into something that captures the audience’s attention. However, the moments that shine the brightest belong to Hiddleston and Chastain.
