STUDENT LIFE 11 WAYS TO PREPARE FOR POSTGRAD LIFE ANNIKA TOMLIN • COLLEGE TIMES

raduation is coming up. Are you ready to start your adult life? Or are you running around like a mad person trying to make sure everything is in order? It isn’t necessary to stress out incessantly about postgrad life. Here are 11 ways to breeze through it.

#11 PLAN FOR GRADUATION TRIP

Those who plan on taking a gap month—or even year—should start planning now. Flight prices increase the closer you get to your departure date. Hotels may book up, too. Save up by putting aside a small amount from each paycheck. Keep in mind that it never works to plan a trip at the last minute—especially if it’s a long-term trip. Do your research and find a trip that won’t break the bank before you have to start paying back student loans.

#10 CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY

That sad reality is friendships go out the door after graduation. You’ll probably stay friends on socials but choose your companions wisely. Maintain those important friendships by spending the day with them, when schedules allow. Keep friends who will support you in good times and give you a shoulder to cry on when you’re down. How many people in your life would you consider your ride or dies? Those are the people who you need to focus on staying in constant contact with.

#9 CLEAN UP YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA

We live in a digital age where anything you say and put online can and will come back to haunt you. Think about all of the subtweets, the raunchy photos or any inappropriate comment you posted online. Now think about a future employer reading and looking at that and judging you before even meeting you. That is the reality of today’s job-hunting process. Take a minute and Google yourself. If you don’t like what you see, change it now. Take a weekend to go through all of your past posts and delete anything and everything that you think that can come back and ruin your possibility of getting a job. It will take time, but the long-term impact is worth it.

#8 FIGURE OUT LOAN PAYMENTS

Loan payments don’t start until six months after graduation, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t think about them now. Add up the loans you took during college. Brace yourself: it may be shocking. After that, look into repayment options. 2 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 2020

#7 INVEST IN A PROFESSIONAL WARDROBE

“Dress to impress” is something to live by as an adult. You will not be taken seriously in a crop top and cut-out jeans or a basketball jersey and baggy pants. A professional wardrobe shows you took the time to impress employers. You don’t need to buy the most high-end items. There are several secondhand stores or off-brand labels that will do the trick. Purchase four to six outfits that range from business casual to business formal. Look for items that go with something you already own and simply make them more professional looking. These outfits will help you make a great first impression when you are doing job interviews and beyond. Don’t forget to buy shoes as well. The tattered Vans that you’ve had since high school won’t cut it in the real world.

#6 FOCUS ON YOUR MENTAL HEALTH

Planning for your life outside

student life of school is going to be one of the hardest things you will go through at this stage of your life. Do not let that stress overwhelm you. It’s OK to take a mental health day away from all of the planning, budgeting and organizing. Overstressing just makes it worse. Take a deep breath, consider talking to someone about your stress and find a way to relieve your worries so you can get back to planning an awesome future for yourself. You’re going to have a few meltdowns when you think the whole world is against you. It isn’t— and you’ll live to see another day. Take it one day at a time and get things done at your own pace, not others’ pace.

#5 BUDGET LIVING COSTS

It takes time to plan a budget for living on your own. Make sure your place is somewhat close to work and a grocery store. Sit down and write out what you pay for monthly—rent, gas, food (groceries and eating out), drinks, entertainment (movies, concerts, etc.) and other subscriptions or anything else that you pay for. List every single item out. Then add it up. Don’t forget to include any amount you would like to put into savings or your rainy-day funds. You need to make sure all of your needs are being paid for. When you are job hunting be conscious of your budget and make sure that your income is exceeding your monthly expense amount and not just breaking even. There might be something you will need to cut down on to compensate for another cost. This is the time to figure that out. If you don’t absolutely need it, get rid of it and save your money for something else.

#4 BUILD YOUR NETWORK

This goes hand-in-hand with choosing your friends wisely. Network with classmates who are on a similar career path. You don’t need to be the best of friends with these people, but you should value their opinion. Network with your professors, co-workers and even the alumni from your college. Talk to people who are already in the industry and see how they got to where they are now and see what advice they have for you. Networking is all about advice and having connections to get you the career that you want.

#3 PRACTICE INTERVIEWING

You’re going to mess up an interview. Prevent that by practicing with a roommate, your parents or a mentor. Plan your responses to questions you suspect will be asked, including: Tell me about yourself. What are your greatest weaknesses and strengths? Why do you want this job? Do not answer any of these with a one-sentence response. Plan a full-page response and then reword it to make it about a paragraph or two. Practice with someone who is in your field. They may offer other questions that could be asked. Practice several times before you go in for an interview and consider bringing notecards. Last tip: make sure you prepare questions for the person who’s interviewing you. They will ask you if you have any final questions or remarks and it doesn’t look good if you say you have nothing.

#2 DECIDE ABOUT GRAD SCHOOL

You’re preparing to graduate and considering postgrad. If you do plan on going to grad school, research options well in advance and start looking into admissions. Most graduate schools require you to pass an entrance exam like the GRE. Those types of exams are designed to be difficult to pass. You need time to study to ensure you have the best chance of getting a good score. Another thing to consider is the hefty price for taking the tests. Be patient. If grad school isn’t for you, don’t worry.

#1 VISIT YOUR CAMPUS CAREER CENTER

Every college campus has a career center. Go and use it. The employees will help ensure you have a successful future. They’ll teach you how to network, interview and write a resume. If you’re questioning your professional future, the employees will offer sage advice. Take advantage of all the things that your campus career center has to offer. Go to their workshops and job fairs. Utilize them as much as you can. The best part about the campus career center is that it’s available to you even after you graduate. There is really no reason you shouldn’t at least check them out to see how they can help you. CT ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 2020 3

Looking for a Job? HERE ARE INTERVIEW TIPS FOR SOON-TO-BE GRADUATES ANNIKA TOMLIN • COLLEGE TIMES

raduation is right around the corner, so it’s time to job hunt. Tips on job hunting and interviewing are always welcome, so we talked with Karen Stafford, president of the Arizona Employers Council. Stafford trains businesses on how to interview people like you. This is your chance to learn behind-thescenes tips, as she’s listed her top five dos and don’ts when it comes to getting a job out of college.

TOP 5 DOS: 1. Look at your network Stafford suggests casting a wide network that includes family members, professors and instructors. Also, include current coworkers and see who they know. Be open about your abilities and desires. Ask those people about their job, their likes, and dislikes and what advice they would have for you. 2. Determine what makes you special How do you approach work? Are you a great problem solver or super organized? What makes you stand out from the rest of the applicants? 3. Do your homework Research the companies you’d like

to work for. What is it about that industry that attracts you? Learn about the work environment and culture and determine if it aligns with your desires. Look at the company’s challenges and see how you can contribute to it. 4. Practice interview questions If the job ad requires that you have customer service skills, or that you have attention to detail, you are likely to be asked how you possess those skills. Plan responses before the interview to relieve your jitters. You might be asked a behavioral question that will determine if your past experiences match with the company’s work environment. 5. Follow up This may sound old school or out of date, but following up puts you higher up on the hiring manager’s radar. You may have aced the interview and then are waiting to hear from the company. Take that time to write a handwritten note or type an email thanking them for their time and you’re looking forward to hearing back. Don’t forget to reiterate your skills and how they will help the company.

TOP 5 DON’TS: 1. Don’t give up It may take several interviews to get that job offer. If it’s a job you really want, perseverance matters. Don’t give up. Try applying at other places and keep at it. 2. Don’t seem unprepared This goes back to the practice interview questions. Prepare for any interview like it’s your Oscar moment. You’ve done the homework. You know everything about the job—or at least as much as you can learn from the job posting—and the company. Use that info to the best of your ability. 3. Don’t get caught unaware As soon as you list your phone number on an application, you could get a call from a recruiter who wants to interview you on the spot. If you are caught off guard and ask to reschedule that doesn’t look good. Plus, you’re asking the recruiter to

work around your schedule. It’s OK if you need to step outside or call the person back in a few minutes. But be prepared for that call. 4. Don’t be late If you are scheduled for an in-person interview, do not arrive late. Do a test run before the interview to figure out parking, checking in, etc. Ask the recruiter if there are specific parking and arrival instructions you need to follow. The last thing you want is to arrive on time and have to park half-mile away and have to run back to the building. 5. Don’t be underdressed Learn about how the company’s staff dresses. Look at its website and read about the work environment. Is the company super casual? Or is it more formal? Tradition calls for dressing a little more formal than the company’s standard. Do not show up underdressed. CT

CORONAVIRUS PUTS A DAMPER ON COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES ANNIKA TOMLIN COLLEGE TIMES

he progression of COVID-19 across the world has led to colleges and universities canceling spring graduation ceremonies. Those include Northern Arizona University, University of Arizona, Grand Canyon University and the entire Maricopa County Community College District. Arizona State University has yet to cancel its ceremonies scheduled for mid-May. NAU is one of the universities that is considering having a virtual commencement ceremony for its 6,000 graduates. NAU President Rita Hartung Cheng invited spring graduates to return for a special ceremony in December. Details for both of the ceremonies are still in the planning stages. All of the major Arizona universities have switched to online classes through the spring semester. The switch from in-person classes to online has been tough for NAU senior Ari Strick. “It’s been a cold-turkey transition going from all my classes being in person to all of them being online,” Strick says. “I think for me it’s OK because I’m self-motivated even with senioritis.”

Strick considers herself fortunate because she has the resources needed to access her online classes: a personal computer and Wi-Fi. “I can get done what I need to get done and I don’t have to go to a public setting to do it or rent a computer from the library,” Strick says. She has taken online classes previously but prefers the personal nature of in-person courses. “We’re doing our classes through Zoom and through Blackboard Learn,” Strick says. “I will say the biggest downside I’ve noticed is it really hurts my eyes to stare at a screen all day. “I also like that none of my teachers are doing synchronous classes, meaning we would have to logon at the same time as our in-person class to watch the online lecture. It’s already recorded.” Strick was planning to graduate in May as an exercise science major before COVID-19 started to rapidly spread throughout the world. “I have no idea how they’re going to go about a virtual commencement ceremony, but for those that really want that kind of ceremony I think that it’s the next best alternative,” Strick says. This is not how Strick envisioned her last semester of senior year. She hoped to finish strong and enjoy her

peers’ company. “It’s put a damper on the academics in the classroom but also on spending senior year with friends because we are all supposed to be social distancing,” Stick says. “It’s definitely a change of pace.” Strick feels like canceling graduation is an emotional and mental obstacle rather than academic. Strick hadn’t purchased her cap

and gown and will hold off until plans are solidified for a virtual and true graduation. “Classes are happening, and people are still going to technically graduate, but the ceremonial part isn’t there which sucks,” Strick says. “Especially for those that walking at graduation really means a lot to them. It brings in family from who knows where and now that can’t happen either.” CT

ASU STUDENTS REDUCE CLOTHING WASTE WITH MONTHLY STREET MARKET

KYLEE GILLESPIE COLLEGE TIMES

student-run vintage market at ASU Tempe is helping reduce the clothing waste. Co-founded by Will Lorant and Matt Welter, University Street Market encourages socially responsible consumerism by offering a large selection of repurposed items. A junior, Lorant says their idea came to fruition in April 2019 and dubbed it “a big hit” for the two entrepreneurs. But the road to success was long—since the duo’s freshman year. To get their idea off the ground, Lorant and Welter relied on ASU Campus Student Sustainability Initiatives (CSSI) sponsorship, which helps students turn sustainable initiatives into concrete solutions. With approval from the Memorial Union event services, the ASU club sponsorship allowed Lorant and Welter to host the event on campus in front of the MU Starbucks. “There are no thrift events that are like this,” Lorant says. “I certainly developed a love for thrifting because I like the idea of getting your own personalized style and upcycling.” Millennials and Gen Z are the driving force for the rise of second-

hand clothing as they are 2.5 times more likely than any other age group to purchase secondhand apparel in 2019, according to Thredup, a fashion resale website for consumers to buy and sell secondhand clothing online. ASU Professor of Herberger Institute for Design Dennita Sewell says she noticed a significant increase in fashion environmental responsibility within her own classes. “The current interest in secondhand clothing and reusable fashion is definitely in reaction to fast fashion and the growing awareness of the environment damage that is being done,” Sewell says. University Street Market attracts many socially conscious consumers who also have a love for thrifting, according to Welter, also a junior. “A lot of our vendors and sellers are local to Phoenix who we found on Depop—a peer-to-peer social shopping app—with a great following on their social media.” Welter said. Lorant and Welter had 13 vendors and hoped to increase to 20 by the end of the semester, before the COVID-19 pandemic happened. “One of the vendors sold twothirds of what he brought within the first hour,” says Lorant, whose event was held monthly. “Altogether, the

6 ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | APRIL 2020

vendors made a little over $16,000.” Lorant and Welter, who have a love for thrifting at Goodwill, understand the society’s negative stigma associated with using secondhand clothes. People shopped in thrift stores such as Goodwill when there was no other alternative. However, the resale market for secondhand clothing is applauded today, according to Sewell, former curator of fashion design at Phoenix Art Museum. The same narrative can be said for Depop seller Daniel Villegas, who began thrifting at 16. “It’s just something me and my friends always did because we really couldn’t afford much,” Villegas says. "We would just go buy a shirt and skate in the parking lot.” The 23-year-old retired his khakis and red polo at Target and now thrifts and sells both online and at market vendors to financially support himself. “This is my full-time job and it is my passion; I have fun doing it,” Villegas says. “I can’t think of anything else I would want to do because I’ve always wanted to be a part of fashion.” When reaching out to vendors such as Villegas, Lorant and Welter say they look at the vendor’s experience and types of items and where

they mainly sell—Depop, eBay, flea markets and Grailed (an app for secondhand menswear designer items). “I’m excited for a community to build around this,” Lorant says. “We want to get this as a steady consistent event on ASU that people can look forward to and help us to continuously improve.” University Street Market hopes to provide affordable looks that are already present in the market and community. By taking the steps to eliminate fast fashion and other outlets of unfair production Lorant said they hope to bring awareness to the detriment of companies who outsource their clothing production. The secondhand clothes market in the United States has grown 21 times faster than retail sales of new clothing over the past three years, according to a Thredup report. “Secondhand clothing provides a viable and worthwhile solution for consumers to consider as part of their sustainable action plan,” Sewell says. “It’s every person’s responsibility to effect change.” The markets for the rest of the semester have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

THE ASU VARSITY MEN’S TEAM IS MAKING WAVES ANNIKA TOMLIN • COLLEGE TIMES

n ASU junior from Albuquerque, Cooper Tezak had only been on a boat five times before he joined the university’s varsity men’s rowing team. He admits sport of choice was soccer, which he played throughout high school. But he didn’t mesh well with the ASU team and looked elsewhere for his sports fix. “The main thing that made me try out was my mom, who told me that, on average, rowers tend to have the highest GPA of all the college sports,” Tezak says. “This interested me because I’m a pretty dedicated student.” Founded in 2002, the rowing club practices on Tempe Town Lake. Tezak’s third season with the club was cut short due to the city of Tempe’s gathering restrictions in response to COVID-19. He thought it was a smart decision. “I think the whole world closing down and acting as a global community is really the thing we need to do,” he says. “I think the goal of everything should be no overloading the medical system and making sure as little people die as possible. If it means my season ends early, that’s fine.” Tezak is drawn to the movement of rowing. Being on the water and pulling the handle on the machine is what made him decide that

rowing was going to be his sport. “I liked the people on it, and it is a friendly environment,” Tezak says. “I just decided to stick with it.” It has been beneficial. After three years on the rowing team, Tezak has built a group of really good friends. They all enjoy the morning sunrise during their practice. “We’ve struggled and lost together at events and we work out really hard as well,” Tezak says. “We’ve all puked in the same trash can after a hard workout, which gives you a sense of camaraderie.” It took some time for Tezak to get used to the 5:15 a.m. practice time during the week and the 9 a.m. on Saturday. It was hard not only mentally but physiologically. “Our body is not primed to work out really hard at 5 in the morning, but you kind of have to just force it,” Tezak says. “It’s kind of like a really long-distance sprint, which is challenging but fun.” Tezak rows either by myself or with a group of four or eight. “The rowing teams are anywhere from one person to eight people depending on our numbers for the season and what competitions we want to be in,” Tezak says. “The gold standard for the most exciting and the most competitive boats to watch is an eight-rower boat with one coxer.” Tezak is excited to see what his senior year will be like on the rowing team.

“The ASU rowing club is on the up and up and I expect us to start winning more with the national level having won silver medals two years in a row,” Tezak says.

“The rowing team has made a very important impact on my life through lessons that I plan on carrying on with me through my adult life.” CT

DINING LOCAL EATERIES CHANGING BUSINESS MODELS DUE TO CORONAVIRUS SNOOZE CIRCLES RECORDS

BARRIO QUEEN CONNOR DZIAWURA • COLLEGE TIMES

But in these tumultuous times, many others are persevering by altering their hours and switching to pickup and delivery models.
