student life
11 NO MORE MOURNING The holiday originated from Aztec traditions. The Aztecs thought tears would only make their loved ones’ journeys harder, and saw death as a continuation of life they should celebrate and embrace.
10 SUGAR RUSH One popular tradition is the production of calaveras, or sugar skulls. The sugar skulls are representations of human skulls, traditionally made to remember someone. They are made from cane sugar or chocolate and decorated with colored foil, icing, beads or feathers. And yes, you can eat them too!
9 SKULL-KING AROUND Skeletons, or calacas, are important decorations for Dia de los Muertos. They are usually portrayed alive rather than dead through face-painting and whimsical decorations, such as skeletons playing guitars, going fishing or getting married.
8 OUT AND ABOUT The Cultural Coalition puts on a Dia de los Muertos Festival every year in Phoenix. Catch this year’s festival on October 23 at Steele Indian School Park. It will feature performances, a candlelight procession, food and face painting.
7 ALTAR-CATIONS Altars are constructed by families to commemorate their deceased family members and friends’ spirits to visit. The altars are usually elaborate productions, featuring flowers, photos, candles, incense and food, with multiple tiers and taking up an entire table-top.
6 DRIVING THRU Many altars are decorated with favorite dishes and drinks of the departed, whether plates of steak or shots of tequila. The spirits are said to consume the energy of the food when traveling past the altars.
5S FLOWER POWER
4 DEAD BREAD Pan de muerto is a soft sweet bread shaped like a bun and decorated with dough to resemble bones or a skull. A staple for the holidays, the bread is often eaten at the graveyard or altar during celebrations.
POP CULTURE Dia de los Muertos has spread across the globe and attracted a large following in America. In film and TV, “The Book of Life,” an animated movie starring Channing Tatum, describes the holiday’s origins. The newest James Bond flick, “Spectre,” shows Bond crashing a Mexican festival for the holiday. Even an old school “Lizzie McGuire” episode features Lizzie learning about the Day of the Dead from her pal Miranda.
2 SAVE YOUR SORROWS Desert Botanical Garden in Scottsdale holds an annual event each year featuring a community altar. It ends with everyone joining around a fire to burn their penas, or sorrows, written on slips of paper. This year, it will be held October 29 and 30 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
1 LA PROCESION Many celebrations end with a community gathering to march together through burial sites to honor those who have passed on with candlelight and song.
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 20, 2016
Marigolds are the flower of choice in decorating altars and known as the flower of the dead. The brightly colored flowers are said to attract spirits with their vibrancy and aroma.

all in Arizona means lots of things: Cardinals mania, tons of local pumpkin beer and giving a collective middle finger to daylight saving time. It’s also finally bearable to be outside for more than five minutes, which means we can say “goodbye” to sundresses and “hello” to sweaters. Here are five more clothing items that symbolize the start of fall. BEANIES Everyone’s favorite solution for bad hair days is now socially acceptable and won’t make you suffer from Sweaty Head Syndrome. Wear a solid, bright beanie for a pop of color. You can also use your headgear to show your school spirit or rep your favorite sports team.
FLANNELS At long last, the time has come to channel your inner Kurt Cobain and flaunt the flannel. Whether you tie one around your waist, layer it with a jean jacket or toss it over a T-shirt for a laidback look, you’ll always fall for flannel.
student life
FALL COLORS Tired of seeing the same bright pinks and blues from summer? Make like a tree and change colors! It’s time to transition to earthy tones like burnt orange, tan and burgundy. Incorporate these colors into your clothes, jewelry, and even your makeup.
BOOTS It’s time to tuck away the flip-flops and pull on some cozy socks (unless you wear flip-flops with socks, in which case we can’t help you) and bust out those boots! Whether you’re an UGGs® enthusiast, desert boot devotee or combat boot connoisseur, boots are an essential fall fashion staple for both guys and girls.
HOODIES It’s common knowledge that pairing
a hoodie with practically any outfit, even shorts or a dress, is fair game. Hoodies are a great way to stay cozy without compromising your style.

COSTUMES THROUGH THE DECADES
THIS HALLOWEEN DRESS UP AS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE CHARACTER FROM BACK IN THE DAY MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES
`
1920s The Great Gatsby Channel your inner Jay Gatsby or Daisy Buchanan for an eye-catching couple’s costume. For the ladies, think lots of fringe, diamonds and fur. For Gatsby, just throw on a tux and keep a drink in your hand and you’re ready to channel the Roaring Twenties.

ovies serve as vestiges, preserving a period of time through the clothes and personalities of the past. Dressing up like movie characters from this decade is so played out (here’s looking at you, Harley Quinn and Deadpool), so why not do the ultimate #ThrowbackThursday (even though Halloween is on a Monday this year — lame) and go as a ghost of movies past? 10 Spoooooky.
Frida Though the biopic about Frida Kahlo’s life arrived on the scene in 2002, it chronicles the Mexican artist’s life and career throughout the ‘30s and ‘40s. Although we can’t all rock Frida’s signature unibrow the way Salma Hayek did in the film, we can toss on some colorful patterned clothes, chunky jewelry and a crown of roses to mimic her dynamic and distinctive look.
1940s Sherlock Holmes Get Holmes’ signature look with a deerstalker hat, a magnifying glass, a fake mustache (bonus points if you can grow one) and of course, a calabash pipe. Get into character by stroking said mustache,
1970s
pensively puffing on your pipe and saying things like, “Curious!” and “Elementary!” in your best British accent. You could also grab a buddy to be Watson, whose uniform includes a bowler hat and a tie. Watson’s role is also very significant because the primary responsibility is to spit out, “No shit, Sherlock” all night.
1950s Grease Danny and Sandy make a perfect costume for couples, but you can also rock the greaser look if you’re going solo. For the fellas, hair gel and leather jackets are essential. Complete the look with a solid black outfit and Converse. For Sandy’s vintage va-va-voom aesthetic, matching red heels and lipstick are a must. Tease your hair and practice your best seductive, “Tell me about it, stud” sweet-and-smoky purr.
Almost Famous Imitate Kate Hudson’s iconic role as Penny Lane in this sex, drugs and rock and roll infused film. Bell bottoms, a totally 70s-inspired knee-length coat and round-rimmed sunglasses will have you looking like Stillwater’s favorite groupie — ahem, Band-Aid — in no time.
1980s Back to the Future The puffy red vest he sports in 1989’s “Back to the Future II” is required wear for any Marty McFly costume. Pair it with double denim, a pair of Nikes and a black watch. Make sure to peer down at your timepiece in astonishment periodically to make it authentic.
1990s Wayne’s World Polish your “partytimes” and “excellents,” grab a partner and dress up as Wayne and Garth, the quirky SNL-inspired co-hosts. A Garth costume just requires some nappy blonde locks, a beat-up flannel and drumsticks. Wayne rocks a black T-shirt, jeans and a trucker hat. Sick air guitar skills are also a plus.
2000s Napoleon Dynamite It may be hard to believe this cult classic came out more than a decade ago, but there are probably a few “Vote for Pedro” shirts still floating around on the internet. If you score one of these relics of the early 2000s, tuck it into some high waisted pants and pair it with some Moon Boots and bifocals. A fanny pack and side ponytail are essential accessories for the perfect Deb costume, and all you need is a bolo tie and a mustache to pull of an inspired Pedro.
According to every article ever written about us, millennials are allegedly more concerned with brunch and selfies than we are with politics.

5 WAYS TO DECORATE A PUMPKIN (MINUS THE CARVING) MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES
1.ALL THAT GLITTERS Give your pumpkin the ol’ razzle dazzle with a touch of everyone’s favorite enduring art supply. Generously spread glue on the pumpkin with a paintbrush and sprinkle with glitter to make your whole squash sparkle, or use a stencil to adorn it with words, initials, shapes or designs.
2. BLING IT ON
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 20, 2016

I
t might’ve seemed like a fun and novel concept when we were younger. But ain’t nobody got time to be sticking knives in pumpkins and digging out the icky pulp for the sake of Halloween decorations. We also want to save ourselves the embarrassment and disappointment related to Pinterest proportion expectations — only to end up with a pumpkin that looks like it lost a bet. If you don’t want to get your hands dirty (or don’t trust yourself with a knife), but still want to get festive, check out five ways to prettify your pumpkin without all the mess. *
Celebrate Halloween ‘90s style and bedazzle your pumpkin with rhinestones. Most craft stores sell self-adhesive rhinestones in a plethora of colors and patterns. If you’re feeling ambitious, you can purchase individual rhinestones and glue them on in a custom design, like a glam ghost, stylish spider web or a shiny new take on the classic jack-o’lantern.
3. CHALK IT UP Convert your gourd into a chalkboard by using chalkboard spray paint. (Make sure to cover the top with masking tape to keep that stem looking steezy.) Once it’s dry, use a
chalkboard marker to cover your pumpkin with messages and doodles. Unlike carving, you can just erase and start over if you mess up.
4. GO HARD IN THE PAINT Embrace your inner van Gogh and use your pumpkin as a canvas. You can start by painting the entire pumpkin a solid color like white or black, or paint your masterpiece directly on the pumpkin. (Orange is the new black, after all.) Use a stencil and acrylic paint to make your pumpkin come to life with haunted houses, skulls, bats, and black cats. Or, freehand some spider webs or
other spooky designs. Apply circle stickers before painting your pumpkin for an easy polka dot pattern.
5. HEAVY METAL PUNK’IN Use steel thumb tacks to create a punk-inspired pumpkin. Use the tacks to create a pattern or cover the whole thing to produce a textured pumpkin that no one will want to mess with. * We shouldn’t have to say it; but it’s a good idea to put some newspaper down before getting crafty. Let’s be real — most likely, you’re still going to make a mess.

Do you think our generation (millennials) are more or less politically involved than previous generations? I think they are more involved, actually, because I feel a lot more of us are actually paying attention because of social media. There’s a lot of news about politics going on, probably because of the election.

It’s busy right now because of the election, but I’m sure a year from now, no one is going to care about what’s going on. No one is going to notice which policies have actually come into action. I think the main reason for this is the way the news is portrayed to us.
What do you think would encourage young people to be more engaged in voting/ politics? More awareness in classrooms to shed light on the issues that pertain to us. Let’s face it, we are quite selfish these days, so we listen more relatable issues. If they were planning to reduce college tuition, most people would be all ears. What’s the first thing you would do if you were president of the United States? I would probably go out of my way to help the poor first.
What do you think would encourage young people to be more engaged in voting/ politics? Incentives … tell them that something is going to benefit them and just about the policies, it will help. Cut to the chase a little more and tell them how their word will influence other people and how’s it going to benefit them in the next four years. What’s the first thing you would do if you were president of the United States? First, take a tour around the place and party in the White House. Then start getting to work.

ares Tarabichi bleeds maroon and gold. He and his brothers, Karim and Omar, say they wouldn’t have found success with The Crepe Club’s two thriving locations without the top-notch education they received at ASU. “I really love Arizona and ASU,” says Fares, who carries a double major in political science and business administration. “I’m an extremely proud Sun Devil.” Each of the three brothers moved from Syria to Tempe to attend ASU, with Fares attending last. Two years ago, they started a small food cart on campus serving up their longtime specialty: crepes. The business has since grown. They opened their first brick-and-mortar space four months ago in the Biltmore Fashion Park, near Williams Sonoma, in Phoenix. “I was running the operations of the cart,” he
says. “One of my brothers works for Weebly (a webhosting service), so he does all the social media. My other brother works for Pepsi, but he’s into continuous improvement, making sure everything is getting done in the most efficient way possible,” he says. “I’m a strategy consultant. I look at the long-term. We collaborated on this, and it’s going very, very well.” Fares, who left his job in Dubai at PricewaterhouseCoopers to help with family businesses, runs the restaurant full time. His brothers still have their jobs, he says. “I took a huge pay cut, but it’s absolutely worth it. It’s a lot of fun. Both locations—the one on the ASU campus and here—give us a wide variety in our customer base. We’re constantly tweaking our menu to satisfy everyone. It’s been a great journey.”
THE AMERICAN DREAM Fares attended a French school; English is his third language behind French and Arabic. He didn’t learn it academically. “What really taught me English was the Cartoon Network—honest,” he says with a wide grin. “‘Dexter’s Lab’ and all those shows were learning tools for me. “The show, ‘Friends,’ was important too. It’s by far one of the things I associated most with America. I absolutely loved that show. Other than the Cartoon Network, it most helped me improve my English. I had to learn English really well to go to ASU.” Fares moved here 11 years ago, at age 17. “There was a lot of oppression there,” Fares says of his home in Syria. “I certainly felt it. My parents wanted us to leave and go to
graduation,” says Fares, who moved to Paris after graduation to work for a nonprofit. “I’d come back a couple times a year, but I missed it too much. “I remember when I first moved here, it was extremely different. Coming from Syria to the U.S., and then from Paris to the U.S., it was very different. I’ve traveled many places, but I never really lived anywhere else.” The Tarabichi brothers often traveled to Paris to eat at a specific restaurant, which led to their love of crepes. “My father opened a bakery on Mill Avenue and Seventh Street, Delice Bistro, and he needed help. I quit my consulting job in Dubai and came to help him. “They were serving crepes and they were delicious. A lot of students liked them. So I met with Aramark and ASU. They loved the crepe cart idea, and the rest is history.” On a recent weekend, The Crepe Club’s customers spilled out onto The Biltmore’s lawn. Fares says this reflects the popularity of the restaurant.

“We’re very successful— especially on the weekends. We don’t have an open seat in the house.” Fares believes that the variety of crepes offered is responsible for the eatery’s success. “It’s a good way to mix sweet and savory,” he says.

I’m looking forward to being successful, so I can give back to the country.” He will do so through education, he says. He believes it’s “the key to every problem in the world.” “I don’t think that weapons solve anything,” he says. “I think they just add to the problem. By teaching people how to love and teaching knowledge, people can have a lot fewer problems than they have now.” The Tarabichis’ parents left Syria a couple years ago, but their grandmother remains. Fares says she refuses to leave the house where she was born. “She’s very stubborn. I think I get a lot of that from her,” he says. “She’s been living there for 85 years, and she’s not willing to let go.” Like his brothers, he feels Arizona is his home. “I left for a short time after

ara Ayanna — known as the “Thrift Queen” for her eclectic style and passion for thrift shopping — has created a slew of clothing lines, two of which she has promoted at Fashion Week in LA. That was also the inspiration behind one of her earlier lines, Thriftqueened, which landed her on the map of Phoenix’ fashion scene. Did we mention she hasn’t even graduated from college yet? The 25-year-old is graduating from ASU’s Fashion Design program next summer. We caught up with her before she showcased her new line, Marauders, at Fashion Week LA last weekend, to get the skinny.
Would you say there’s a difference between being stylish and being trendy? There’s totally a difference. To me, personal style is kind of just the way you are in your everyday life. No matter what, you get up and put on that watch. That’s one of your favorite shirts. No matter what, you always want to wear those ripped up jeans because you think they look tight with that band tee.

What would you say is your “signature piece,” something you never leave the house without? I always have a jacket or a sweater or something, no matter what, tied around my waste or I’ll wear it over my shoulders. To me, it’s fine. I’m never hot or anything. I love leggings. That’s all I wear. I hate jeans. I haven’t had a pair of jeans in seven
years. Jeans really just stress me out. You’ve been dubbed “Thrift Queen.” Can you tell me about that concept and how it evolved into the way you market yourself and your brand? It’s had a big impact on the way people see my style. When I first started designing, I started off just doing recycled clothing and cutting up stuff and adding stuff to it from thrift stores, and I started making hats. Everybody would be wearing and buying my hats. Thriftqueened lasted

for just a few years. All we did was have house shows in Tempe and hang out with different bands. A lot of people had different pop-up shops there. I became friends with a lot of people that did this group at ASU called TUF (The Underground Foundation) and I just started hanging out with a lot of people from there and that just started a three-year streak of house shows and pop-up shops. I was just doing styling, and that just became my styling name and this thing that everybody wanted to wear. I just dropped the name inadvertently, and use my own name now. Now it’s like a nickname. They’ll just call me “Queen” or “The Queen.”
that to get to what I wanted to do. Designing is kind of like a muscle, you just have to work it out. When you’re drawing out designs for a whole collection, you’ll come up with 1,000 designs and only actually make 12. I feel like I’ve been designing for Marauders for at least four years. Now, I’m finally like, ‘That’s the best one out of all these ideas,’ and now we’re going to Fashion Week with Marauders. I took Thriftqueened to Fashion Week and a lot of people loved the stuff, but now for Fashion Week LA, Marauders will be there so I’m pretty excited. I have some really awesome pieces I want everyone in the world to wear.
It sounds like you’ve tried on a few different “hats.” Would you say you’re now coming into your own as a designer and this is where you’ll be for awhile? I feel like I had to do all of

I wanted to ask about your time at ASU. How has your time there impacted where you are now? They just started their Fashion Design program last year and that’s when I started it. I’ve already been to a lot of schools. I went to ASU and then I went to FIT in New York and I actually go to Phoenix College and ASU right now, so I’m just taking classes at both. I really
like ASU’s design program; it is the best design program that I’ve taken so far. To me, it’s the most helpful and relevant to what I’m learning and what I’m already doing. It’s just very insightful. They have a lot of fashion business classes. It’s really helped me organize my thoughts better. What is something that you think is currently lacking in the fashion industry? What about something you’re really down for? Something lacking in the fashion industry is diversity in clothing. Why does everything have to be the same color? I just see a lot of designers copying each other or all using the same silhouette. We need to make something cool and different that a lot of people don’t have. I want more designers to be more daring with the stuff that they design. One thing that I love right now that I’m seeing is gender neutrality, like girls can wear guys’ clothes and guys can wear girls’ clothes … If you could give advice to someone who is trying to make it in the fashion industry, what would it be? Experiment and learn what you want to do because the fashion industry is really saturated. It is hard to get into the fashion industry. You have to be either doing it for a long time or know a lot of people or have a famous aunt that works for Vogue. If you want to be a fashion writer, write as many pieces as you can. Find a random bum on the street and be like, ‘Hey, I like your sweater, can I write a fashion piece about this?’ If you want to be a stylist, you better find a photographer friend and do a bunch of photo shoots or use your iPhone to document your clothing with a blog. Fashion is an industry where you literally just have to work.

hether you’re planning a spooky soiree, a horror movie marathon or a hair-raising rager, one thing’s for sure: you’ll need some serious snackage. Get into the Halloween spirit by whipping up these munchies that will complement any monster mash. Pro tip: a few cocktails never hurt anybody, either.
HORROR D’OEUVRES POLTERGEIST PIZZA What you’ll need: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound frozen pizza dough, thawed 3/4 cup jarred tomato sauce 8 ounces sliced low-moisture mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon capers 16 x 11-inch rimmed baking sheet Ghost-shaped cookie cutter
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 20, 2016

What to do: 1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line your baking sheet with olive oil before pressing and stretching the
pizza dough evenly across the bottom. Spread the sauce over the dough in an even layer, leaving a 1-inch border around the sides. Bake for about 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. 2. Use your cookie cutter to make your snack a supernatural one! Once you’ve cut the cheese into 10-15 ghost shapes, place them on top of the pizza and bake for 5 more minutes. Place two capers (for eyes) on each piece of cheese to complete your apparition-themed appetizer. Let stand for five minutes before serving.
DEVILED EGG PUMPKIN PATCH What you’ll need: 8 large eggs 1/4 cup drained and chopped jarred roasted red peppers 3 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard 1/4 teaspoon paprika, plus more for sprinkling Salt and pepper 3 chives, cut into 16 1/2-inch pieces Mixer or food processor Large Ziploc® bag
What to do: 1. Boil a large pot of water on high heat. Gently drop the eggs into the water and reduce to a simmer. Cook the eggs for 11 minutes, drain and put in a bowl of ice water. Wait about 10 minutes until the eggs are completely cooled. 2. Carefully crack and peel the eggs under cool running water. Slice them in half lengthwise, scoop out the yolks and put them in a mixer or food processor with peppers, mayonnaise, mustard and
paprika and mix until smooth. Cover and refrigerate the whites. 3. Scoop the yolk mixture into the Ziploc bag. Squeeze out all of the air; seal and snip off one corner. Use the Ziploc to transfer about 1 Tbsp. into the center of each egg to make the base of your pumpkin. Place a chive slice atop each one for the stem of your pumpkin. Top each one off with a dash of paprika.

t’s the final half of your school’s basketball game. All eyes beat down on the opposing team as you stand to watch them shoot a free throw. The player takes his eyes off the hoop and looks at the crowd for a moment. So many students, parents, fans — and six-foot Hillary Clinton? Giant heads are making all kinds of similar appearances across the world thanks to companies like Build-A-Head and its creator, Bryan Price. Build-A-Head is a website based in Phoenix that allows users to log on, upload a photo and receive a giant face cutout, shipped out the very next day. Users can choose between two to six foot tall Huge Heads, key chains, ornaments or Big Head Slims, which are heads printed on thinner paper and attached to a stick. Price got the idea after seeing the demand for giant heads at sports games and festivals and the amount of fun people were having with them. The only problem was the process. Printing and building a giant head attached to cardboard, foam or poster board 24 proved to be a weekend-long
process that was costing people a lot of money. “The cost was high, making them essentially impossible to create,” Price said. After graduating college, he took a job delivering pizzas in Scottsdale, allowing him enough time on the side to work on Build-A-Head. What started out as a twoperson ordeal in his garage has grown into a business now employing 11 people, mobile and on-site, and operating out of a warehouse. Now, getting a cardboard head is affordable, fast and a matter of a few clicks. And the business is still growing. Build-A-Heads have made appearances all over the world, including Rihanna’s foundation events over the past two years. “It’s cool because, one, it’s Rihanna, and two, there’s a ton of people who attend that event,” said Price. Social media has also helped the head phenomenon. Build-AHead has been seen on networks the likes of ESPN, CNBC and Sports Illustrated. “It’s been crazy with social media, we see ourselves at
events we didn’t even know we’d be at.” Price said. It’s not just sports though. Heads have found uses everywhere from marathons, pageants, fundraisers and graduations to political campaigns, birthday parties and weddings. While he doesn’t necessarily have a favorite face he’s printed, he thinks the different occasions at which the heads have made appearances are special. “It’s a simple product,” said Price, “But they mean a lot to people at the events they go to, whether it’s a first birthday party or a college graduation for someone who’s the first person in their family to graduate.” Customers are easily at the forefront of Build-A-Head. The site boasts fantastic customer
service with quick shipping and an ordering process that takes minutes. While consulting the large selection of emoji cutouts, politician heads and life-sized cutouts, you might have one question: why heads? Price cites the instantaneous recognizability and the joy that people have seeing the faces come through as the reason for their success. “We certainly live in a meme era,” Price said, “And the heads borderline on that. They’re a fun way for people to express themselves at events.” Build-A-Head has consistently grown and evolved and Price believes it will continue to do so. With Christmas coming up, the site offers face cutout ornaments.
The site also recently added Larry Fitzgerald, the Cardinals’ wide receiver, to their selection of celebrity heads in support of his foundation, the First Down Fund. Price says it’s a huge step in the direction of adding other licensed entertainers and athletes. As for those nearing their last semester of senior year with business ideas of their own, Price has only one piece of advice: “Plain and simple, work hard. When you think you’re worked hard enough, work harder.” For more information or to order your own Huge Head for a party, game or dorm room decoration, visit buildahead. com.

T
specialized.” Kharissa Carras, a junior at DePauw University in Indiana, worked with Rezendes for test prep while attending high school in Arizona. She turned to MindSpree forwith chemistry, meeting with her tutor via Skype sessions anywhere from one to three times a week. “Unlike being tutored by fellow classmates, which is a system that most universities offer, most of the tutors available on MindSpree are either professors or professionals in their field,” says Caras. That is one of the key parts of MindSpree for Rezendes, who lives in Arizona and tutors locally and across the country online. He has seen partnerships with students begin in high school, continue through college and last into the professional world. He says students have also come to him for help with job presentations or graduate school courses. Right now, MindSpree is offering students the first hour for free, though Rezendes finds most students return for more sessions. “A lot of (university) tutoring centers are all about their schedules. Those tutors tend not to be high quality and most people aren’t happy about their services,” said Rezendes, “With MindSpree, the quality is a lot better. You pay for what you get.”

utoring is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, and students have many things to consider when deciding where to turn for help. Enter MindSpree: a website that takes out the guesswork and gives students options up front. Keith Rezendes, CEO and founder of MindSpree, took inspiration from the Uber and Airbnb business models to create what he calls a “marketplace” for students and tutors. Students have taken to MindSpree for everything from help with English and math to yoga, violin and basketball. One student asked for help in studying the British Museum to get the most out of an upcoming trip to London. She got two willing tutors within hours. Tutors decide how much they charge as well as how, where and what they tutor. Students can sort through profiles depending on preferences like price range, subject and online versus inperson meetings. The name-your-price option is rare in the big business of tutoring, where students often pay steep fees and tutors see only fractions of the
revenue. With MindSpree, Rezendes says there’s a connection between the tutor, student and the results they see, which is why they keep coming back. The relationship between tutor and student has always been important to Rezendes, who has been an educator for more than 30 years. He’s a veteran tutor who has attended and worked at universities across the country from Minnesota and Hawaii to ASU. It was actually a Hawaiian vacation that inspired Rezendes to create MindSpree. He had been working as a tutor, but found himself in a need of his own when it came to surfing. He wanted to take lessons from a local expert. “After all, the best way is if you want to learn French, get a Parisian,” says Rezendes. Now, the site features more than 4,000 registered tutors. Each tutor is background checked to ensure quality and skill set. “Our value is in our tutors. We’re like a virtual mall,” said Rezendes, “And each tutor has their own store window.” Ana Spraetz, a freshman at Barrett, The Honors College at ASU, used MindSpree during her senior year of high school to prep for her ACT and SAT tests. “I was doing a lot of tutoring through school and a teacher recommended I try MindSpree,” says Spraetz. “It was a lot more

HEAD COACH CLIFF ENGLISH
Division I university to host a varsity women’s triathlon team. Triathlons include components of swimming, cycling and running across
varied courses. Triathletes compete for the fastest overall time, including transition from one sport to the next. The team, which consists
of seven athletes, wraps up its first season on November 5 at the Women’s Collegiate Triathlon National Championships in New Orleans. Head coach Cliff English has been competing in triathlon for nearly three decades. He has also coached triathletes for USA Triathlon, Ironman and the Olympics. He says part of being a good coach is doing an equal amount of learning and teaching. “I’ve become a better coach through the exposure of all my athletes,” he says. “Every single one of those athletes offers you a unique and singular learning experience.” Though he’s worked with triathletes at virtually every level, English says working
with student athletes is a unique and rewarding experience. “It was really appealing and exciting to be able to take on this position at ASU and get back to developing athletes,” he says. “It’s incredibly exciting.” Charlotte Ahrens, a freshman and kinesiology major, came over from Nuremberg, Germany to be part of ASU’s first triathlon team. “I decided to come to ASU because it’s a big university and it’s the first time triathlon is in the NCAA, so everything is new,” says the 19-year-old athlete. “It’s great to be a part of the beginning of such a big thing.” Ahrens says the transition to college and American culture

takes as much mental fortitude as physical endurance. “It’s the motivation and power of your mind
THE MIND IS A LOT STRONGER THAN YOU THINK. to just do things that you didn’t think you were capable of doing …,” says Gorcyzca. “The mind is a lot stronger than you think.”
The team practices twice a day Mondays through Saturdays. Ahrens says the athletes run or cycle in the mornings and swim in the evenings. The season has been relatively short — consisting of only four races: one in September, two in October and the upcoming championships in November. Gorcyzca says she always feels a mixture of nerves and excitement before a race. “We’re excited to see this program grow and we’re excited to compete,” she says.

was difficult at first, but competing in triathlon made her feel at home. She says the team is very tight-knit and supportive. “We push each other and help each other if we have problems, so it’s nice to train in a group,” she says. Junior Katie Gorczyca was recruited from the Elite Triathlon Academy in Colorado Springs. She says it has always been a dream of hers to compete for the NCAA. “I feel like we are making history, so when we look back on it we can always say that we were a part of the very first triathlon team for the NCAA and we built it, really. So that’s exciting to me,” she says. “It’s great for the sport of triathlon because many of us have desires to go further, and I think being coached under someone like Cliff English is a great way to do so. And it’ll help encourage athletes across the nation to get involved with not only one sport, but three, and find out what they’re passionate about.” Ahrens and Gorcyzca agree that although it requires a great amount of agility and endurance, competing in triathlon

fter 23 years in the business, Jimmy Eat World drummer Zach Lind has heard everything. But when fans recall listening to his Mesa-bred alternative pop band in their childhood, it makes him laugh. “It makes us feel old,” says Lind, calling in from Chicago’s Riot Fest. “It is a weird feeling. On the other hand, I’ve always admired people who said they have done this job or that job for 25, 30 or 40 years. “We’re becoming that. We’re entering into our 23rd year as a band. It’s a good feeling. I take pride in the fact that we stuck around and did it for that long and made nine albums.” The ninth album, “Integrity Blues,” is slated for release on October 21. Jimmy Eat World settled on the title after a bit of a struggle. “Primarily, our album names are based on a song title,” he says. “We hesitated a little bit on ‘Integrity Blues.’ We didn’t want the takeaway to be something that’s understood as us bragging. You’re assuming that you have integrity, so you’re 30 playing the integrity blues.”
Lind explains there’s a much different message. “The idea is you have a vision or expectation for your life and sometimes that doesn’t pan out the way you thought,” says Lind, who lives in the Arcadia area of Phoenix with his wife, Holly, and their children. “In the end, oftentimes, we find ourselves longing for that particular outcome. If it doesn’t work out, we take it really hard and personally. While we’re clamoring for that outcome, we miss what’s under our nose. We miss the really awesome things going on in our lives. “There’s more to it than that, but that’s the baseline theme of the record.” Ken Andrews, lead singer of the band Failure, mixed the record. He’s experienced with Jimmy Eat World, as he worked with lead singer Jim Adkins on the band’s cover of Wham!’s “Last Christmas.” “I know they’re super happy with the way ‘Integrity Blues’ turned out,” says Andrews. “There’s a sonic difference. It’s a little wider stereo-wise. There’s a thicker, fatter drum sound than they’ve used before.
“It’s like a new version of this band, in terms of sound and songwriting. I got really into helping them figure out what the sound was going to be. It was a long process, but they were very particular about what they wanted.” Andrews adds that Jimmy Eat World did so without compromising the band’s trademark sound. “With Jim’s distinctive voice, people will know it’s him,” he says. “But this afforded them the opportunity to change it up instrumentally a little bit more and still retain their identity.” “Integrity Blues” was recorded at the tail end of a year-long break for the band. Lind spent his break recording and releasing music with his wife as The Wretched Desert. “We released two three-song EPs over the course of a year,” he says. “We’ve never done any music together. It was a process.
I was learning how to play bass. I was kind of noodling around. “We thought the songs were really cool so we recorded them and put them out on our own.” He calls the project “enlightening.” “It was a fun process — learning to do a bunch of new things,” he says. “For the second EP, I engineered, mixed and mastered it all myself. It was different.” Since the break, Lind has been “jonesing” to play a hometown show. Jimmy Eat World will do so during the 93.3 ALT AZ Zombie Prom at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, October 22, at Fear Farm. The band will also play an acoustic set and sign autographs at 4:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 21, at Zia Record Exchange, 1302 S. Gilbert Road, Mesa. “Hometown shows are great,” Lind says. “It’s always good to play in front of friends
and family. In a weird way, we can’t do this job without those people in our lives. To have them come out and to be able to play for them as well is really cool. It’ll be a blast. We’re looking forward to it.” Right now, Jimmy Eat World is only playing a few new songs in concert. But when “Integrity Blues” is released, that will pick up steam. “I think it was a nice balance of all of our releases,” Lind says. “We challenged ourselves and experimented with different songs and approaches, while retaining the core identity of who we are as a band. We feel really good about it.”

For the uninitiated, NaNoWriMo (yes, that’s what people actually call it) is an internet-based writing challenge that takes place every fall. The rules are simple: participants must write a novel with a minimum of 50,000 words between November 1 and November 30. Participating writers can register on nanowrimo.org and post excerpts and summaries of their novels and validate their word count. The website will also help them connect with other writers and alert them about local events to help them get inspired. Notes and pre-panning are permitted, but no part of the novel may be written before November 1. Grab a few friends and start brainstorming; you could be in the presence of the next Twain or Tolstoy!

MOVIE REVIEW
NOW SCREAMING
4 TERRIFYING MOVIES YOU NEED TO WATCH ON NETFLIX RIGHT NOW MADISON RUTHERFORD • COLLEGE TIMES
entertainment
W
e can’t think of anything scarier than midterms or all-night study sessions that leave you feeling like an actual zombie. However, Netflix is on point with the horror flicks this Halloween season, so why not take a break from studying yourself into a downward spiral and get your scare on? Take a sec to check out four of these spooky selections now streaming on Netflix. Don’t worry, we slept with the light on too.
HUSH
THE AWAKENING
If it’s one thing I can appreciate in a horror movie, it’s a good twist. The whole haunted house ghost story plot is a bit played out, but
halfway through the movie, when your mind feels like it’s being stretched in ten different directions and you realize your hand has been clasped over your gaping mouth for the past five minutes, you know you’ve come across a real gem. The film is set in England in the early 1920s, so it will also appeal to old-fashioned film buffs. I can’t say I’m partial to period pieces, but it definitely added to the eeriness of the plot. The film chronicles Florence Cathcart, a supernatural skeptic, who is called to a haunted boarding school after a series of ghost sightings. The movie is like a roller coaster in that it takes forever to get to the good stuff, but it eventually offers an almost three-dimensional cinematic experience, taking the viewer on a series of unexpected twists and turns. I don’t know about you, but I like to take the straightno-chaser approach when it comes to scary movies. If I’m not shaking in my boots in the first 20 minutes, I get bored. This movie was an exception to that rule. The film does an excellent job of building suspense without the audience even realizing it. Though it starts out slow, the ending is like a fear-filled fever dream that may not keep you up at night, but leaves your mind seriously bended.
Year: 2011 Director: Nick Murphy Netflix describes it as: chilling, suspenseful, scary, ominous
LAST SHIFT
Last Shift seamlessly blends the supernatural and psychological thriller genre and turns a seemingly simple plot into a complex mind game. The movie takes place over the course of one night in a shuttered police station where a rookie cop’s first assignment is to stand guard and forward phone calls to the new station. Plot twist: a bunch of creepy, paranormal stuff ensues. All joking aside, there is a nightmarish, nail-biting twist at the end that left my knuckles white and mouth agape. As previously mentioned, it seems as though it’s all been said and done when it comes to horror movies, but this one threw me for a serious loop. I tend to be that annoying person that tries to predict when scary movies take a sharp turn, and I did not see this one coming. Year: 2014 Director: Anthony DiBlasi Netflix describes it as: scary, ominous, suspenseful
NIGHTCRAWLER
In his directorial debut, Dan Gilroy has produced a thought-provoking thriller that scared the socks off of audiences in 2014. The shock and suspense continues on the small screen. You won’t find ghosts or vampires, but it deserves a spot on this list for sheer ingenuity. Although it’s not categorized as a horror movie per se, it will still leave you looking over your shoulder or perched on the edge of your seat. Jake Gyllenhaal portrays a young criminal who becomes a crime reporter (trippy, huh?) whose passion for the payout turns seriously sinister. Gyllenhaal’s performance as a camera-slinging sociopath combined with the twisted turn of events that play out throughout the movie make it a must-see. Year: 2014 Director: Dan Gilroy Netflix describes it as: dark, gritty
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | OCTOBER 20, 2016
Though this 2016 home invsion thriller follows the typical cat-and-mouse storyline found in most run-of-the-mill slasher flicks, it serves as a paragon of heart-pounding suspense in an otherwise predictable genre. Familiar without being trite, the plot serves up plenty of gore and jump-inducing scares without being campy or contrived. One of the biggest twists? The victim, a writer who has sought solitude in a secluded cabin in the woods, is deaf and mute. When a masked stranger shows up at her window, she must rely on
wit and bravery to fight for survival in silence, upping the ante in an already terrifying scenario. The film periodically switches to the protagonist’s point of view, leaving the audience to experience the series of events with no sound, a technique that is as innovative and effortless as it is eerie. The otherwise subtly spooky soundtrack makes for a solid slice of nuanced suspense. The film has a healthy mix of your typical “Oh shit, he’s around the corner!” scares with deeper “What would I do in this situation?” moments. If its impressive 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and 4.5 stars on Netflix doesn’t sell you, taking a gander at the trailer will surely leave you on the edge of your seat (and possibly hiding under it). Year: 2016 Director: Mike Flanagan Netflix describes it as: violent, suspenseful, scary

You’ll get lucky this week, Cancer, when you buy a pack of Starburst and they’re mostly red and pink. It’s not the lottery, but the stars suggest you should take what you can get.
You only live once—unless reincarnation is real. For your sake, we hope it is. Maybe not sucking at life just isn’t your thing? Hopefully you’ll get it next time around.
This advice will come in handy over the next few weeks, Virgo: Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Keep this in mind when you come across that keg at the party, and later on when you bump into that “handsome” stranger. Sure, you’ve got a strong will, but beer goggles are stronger. Just don’t do it.

This week will leave you stressed, depressed and poorly dressed. You haven’t worn matching socks since the start of the semester. Maybe it’s time to finally do your laundry, Libra. Those dirty looks your roommate gives you aren’t just figurative.
You’ll lose your keys multiple times this week. But have no fear! Follow this foolproof advice and pull through: It’s always the last place you look! Also consider this helpful question: Where was the last place you had them? You can thank us later.
Listen to this age-old adage, Sagittarius: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Unless, of course, you’re broke and can only afford Hot Pockets and Spaghettios. On the other hand, what else do you really need in this life of sin?
You’ll be spending a lot of time by yourself this week, Capricorn. Remember, being alone doesn’t always mean being lonely. But it usually does.
