MEMORIAL DAY
MEMORIAL DAY IS MORE THAN JUST AN EXCUSE TO TAKE A LONG WEEKEND. ORIGINALLY, THE HOLIDAY WAS A WAY TO COMMEMORATE THE 620,000 SERVICE MEMBERS WHO DIED DURING THE CIVIL WAR. TODAY, IT HONORS ALL FALLEN MILITARY PERSONNEL. WHILE YOU’RE OUT ENJOYING THE SUN AND GRUBBING ON BARBECUE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO LEARN WHY WE HAVE THIS THREE-DAY BREAK IN THE FIRST PLACE. BRUSH UP ON YOUR MEMORIAL DAY HISTORY WITH THESE PATRIOTIC FACTS BEFORE YOU FIRE UP THE GRILL.

POPPIES AND POEMS
CONFEDERATE TIES REMAIN
CELEBRATION IN FULL BLOOM
These nine Southern states celebrate additional days to honor those who died for the Confederacy during the Civil War: Texas (January 19), South Carolina (May 10), North Carolina (May 10), Alabama (April 25), Mississippi (April 25), Louisiana (June 3), Kentucky (June 3), Tennessee (June 3) and Georgia (April 25).
Three years after the Civil War ended, Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day would be observed on May 30. This day was chosen because flowers used to decorate the graves would be blooming all over the country.

SOUTHERN WOES
FLAGS FOR FREEDOM
The South snubbed Memorial Day until after World War I, when the meaning of the holiday changed from honoring those who died in the Civil War to honoring all Americans who died in any war. It became an official federal holiday in 1971.
Lt. Col. John McCrae, who worked as a surgeon during the war, wrote a poem that mentioned red poppies titled “In Flanders Fields” after one of his students was killed. He threw the poem out, but an officer found it and published it for him in a London magazine, creating the first link between poppies and fallen soldiers.

ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 19, 2016

In 1915, a volunteer war worker named Moina Michael read McCrae’s poem and was inspired by the lines, “In Flanders fields the poppies blow, between the crosses, row on row.” She became the first person to wear red poppies on Memorial Day, and she went on to sell them to raise funds for the disabled veterans.
9 A MOMENT TO REMEMBER Former President Bill Clinton signed the National Moment of Remembrance Act in 2000, which asks all Americans, wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time, to take a minute to honor the fallen on Memorial Day.
As a custom, the American flag is flown at half staff until noon, and then raised until sunset on Memorial Day.
6 A HOLIDAY BY ANOTHER NAME It wasn’t always called Memorial Day. Gen. James Garfield made a speech commemorating the soldiers on this day in 1868 at Arlington National Cemetery. Afterward, 5,000 participants helped decorate the graves of more than 20,000 soldiers buried there with wreaths, flowers and flags—and what was originally called Decoration Day was born.

3 THANK YOU, CONGRESS While you’re scarfing down your fourth hot dog, remember to thank Congress for the three-day weekend. Memorial Day was changed from its original date of May 30 to the last Monday in May in 1971, in order to create a long weekend for federal employees.
2 WATERLOO MADE IT OFFICIAL Although more than 20 towns tried to claim the day, Waterloo, New York, was recognized as the federal birthplace of Memorial Day in 1966 for being the first town to celebrate the holiday 100 years prior.
1 ON THE ROAD AGAIN According to American Automobile Association (AAA) estimates, more than 36 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home over this Memorial Day weekend.

PREPARING FOR TAKEOFF
THE TRAVEL TALES OF FOUR YOUNG ADVENTURERS JASMINE KEMPER • ALYSSA TUFTS • COLLEGE TIMES
IT’S NO SECRET THAT MILLENNIALS LOVE TO TRAVEL. IN FACT, IT’S REPORTED THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THEM WOULD RATHER SPEND THEIR MONEY ON EXPERIENCES THAN MATERIAL ITEMS. AT COLLEGE TIMES, WE DECIDED TO TEST OUT THAT STATISTIC BY TALKING WITH SOME YOUNG EXPLORERS.
EXPLORING DOWN UNDER When Taylor Krassa had the opportunity to travel to Australia last May, she jumped on it. “I was ready for an adventure, and a couple friends of mine had discovered that we were able to get working holiday visas, which meant that we would be able to supplement our income during our time abroad,” Krassa says. During her 10 months in ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 19, 2016

Oz (as she calls Australia), she worked as a waitress for four months before hitting the road for the trip of a lifetime. “I was living in a tent for about two-and-a-half months as I road tripped across the country, ending in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. From there I returned to the Whitsunday, where I worked on an island up until a week before I flew home, spending my final days exploring Tasmania,” Krassa says. Though she was excited to explore this new country, she says traveling did come with its tribulations. “I kept asking myself, ‘what the hell are you doing?’ Those were definitely an emotional couple of days. But then you work it out, and that is about the most satisfying feeling in the world,” Krassa says. As a photographer, some of her favorite memories from the trip include going to Brisbane, visiting the art scene

in Melbourne and setting time aside for some picturesque hikes. “I learned a lot about myself on this trip. I learned how much I love traveling. I’m sure that sounds silly, who doesn’t love to travel, but I don’t just mean taking a holiday. I mean a long-term, life-changing travel,” Krassa says. The trip also allowed her to meet diverse groups of people from all over the world. “The majority of my time in Australia, I was living in
shared housing, with anywhere between one to five other people and it was great! You end up talking to people from all over the world—all at different points in their own journey—but you get to share this experience with them and you’ll find it draws you together very quickly. I was very fortunate to be surrounded by incredible people. We’re all scattered now, as it goes when you’re travelers, but I sincerely hope to meet them again.” Krassa just returned to
Arizona after almost a year away, but she’s already planning her next trip to New Zealand. She says she believes travel is a great way to grow as a person and feel more in touch with your surroundings. “We need to feel more connected to one another and I think that happens most naturally through travel. Your view of the world will grow, you’ll see your own country in a different light, and you’ll have an itch to keep seeing more.”

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT PEOPLE TRAVEL AND GO OUTSIDE OF THEIR COMFORT ZONE TO LEARN ABOUT THE WORLD.
CZECH YOURSELF During community college, Sabine Doerstling entered a contest that landed her on the other side of the globe. “My local Lions Club had an essay contest and provided me with the opportunity to travel to the Czech Republic. I had loved it so much during that summer exchange that I knew I had to go
to learn about the world.” While in the Czech Republic, she learned quite a few things about their customs and way of life. “I learned the term ‘American smile,’ which is when you open your mouth so you have about a half-inch of space between your upper and lower teeth then you pull your smile across your face, exposing your teeth. Of the Czech people that I knew, most thought that American smiles were strange and disingenuous. Czech people aren’t big fans of smiling in photos and, if they do, they probably won’t expose their teeth,” she says. “Also, stop calling it Czechoslovakia—that country doesn’t exist anymore.” She also discovered an interesting drink that had a lot of history behind it. “Kofola was one of my
favorite discoveries. It is a soft drink that came into popularity in the 1960s and 1970s when communism wouldn’t allow for outside cola-based products. It is so good! It is an herbal-flavored soft drink that is not as sugary as American drinks,” Doerstling says. During her travels, she gained a lot of insight from her host family, who lived in a rural area called Rychnov nad Knežnou. ˇ “My host family lived near a beautiful farm. Their grandfather was in a retirement home and when I met him, he kept smiling at me. I came to find out that he had never met an American in his 90 years of age.” All in all, Doerstling says the most important thing when traveling abroad is to never underestimate yourself. “I’ve traveled by myself many times and can confirm that
the film ‘Hostel’ isn’t a reality for tourists in Europe. I highly suggest doing the research before you go and doing what you want to do.” CONTINUES ON 10

SUMMER SIGHTSEEING Last summer, Katie Malles traveled to cities like Rome, Florence, Madrid, Dublin and Paris. This year, she is returning to visit friends, see new sights and check off more places on her growing list of countries and cities to visit. “Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to travel the world,” Malles says. “I’ve always wanted to experience cultures, customs and traditions. For some people it’s finding their dream house or getting married, sure I want those things too, but more than anything else, I want to be able to say that I stepped foot in every continent I traveled (and) that I saw as much of the world as I possibly can see.” For six weeks this summer, Malles is traveling to Ireland, then making her way to
Germany, Italy, Austria, Portugal, England and Holland before coming home in early July. Along the way, Malles is meeting up with friends in various countries. From her travels last year, Malles went to the Cliffs of Mohr in Ireland, took a tour of ancient ruins, saw the Colosseum in Rome, went to The Louvre and the Eiffel Tower in Paris and witnessed beautiful, old churches and cathedrals in Venice. “One of my favorite places is called Pena National Palace in Portugal. It sits on top of a hill, you have a 360-degree view of Portugal all around you with the ocean in the distance,” Malles says. In her adventures this year, Malles has some specific places on her list to visit. “I am most excited to go to Salisbury, England and Vienna, Austria. Salisbury is very rich with art and history,
I want to be able to say that I stepped foot on every continent.

Traveling to a new country is a memorable experience. From buying the plane tickets, to arranging housing and figuring out what to pack in your suitcase—it’s all part of the adventure—and the beginning of new memories and experiences. Megan Janetsky will experience that firsthand when she travels to Europe this summer for three weeks as part of a study abroad program through Barrett, the Honors College. Janetsky will be participating in the Barrett 2016 Italy Study Abroad program; where she will travel to Florence, Italy and Rome
for others to enjoy as well. To follow her journey this summer, visit her blog KatieMalles.com.
from May 29 through June 17. In the program, participants register for two upperdivision honors classes and complete those—in addition to submitting their academic travel portfolios in August. Since taking a class with her professor, Dr. Jacquelyn Scott Lynch her freshman year, Janetsky says she learned about a travel writing class the professor taught called “Self and Place.” This sparked Janetsky’s interest in potentially studying abroad and seeing other parts of the world. “In the first meeting we had, she (Professor Scott) was talking about how you can be a tourist, but you aren’t a traveler,” Janetsky says. “If you immerse yourself in the
culture, like we’re doing on this trip, then it’s going to be different.” Of the cities on her list, Janetsky says she is most excited to visit Rome because she and her companions will be staying in flats with natives— just a few blocks from the Vatican. Janetsky will be traveling to Ireland to meet up with friends prior to beginning her study abroad program and will travel to Austria, Portugal and London through July 5 after her program before coming back to Arizona. She says she is bringing a camera to take pictures and keep a blog about her travels. “I really want to document this so I remember it,” Janetsky says.

“What is the most important thing to look for in a career?” “You must have a passion for it. I think there is a big difference between a job and a career. A job is something you do to make money, a career allows you to grow as a person, and ultimately prosper in a field you are dedicated to.” – ZIA TYREE, SOPHOMORE, ASU
“If you choose a career that you’re not passionate about or don’t even like, you will forever be miserable and no one wants to live like that.” – CASSIE GALANOS, JUNIOR, ASU

“Would you say you’re prepared for life after college?” “I know I have gained skills that are going to help me for life after college, but I feel that there is still more for me to learn.”
“Would you say you’re prepared for life after college?” “I feel like I’m on the right track. I have a really clear picture of what I want to do with my life, so while I’m not necessarily prepared right this second, I plan to be by the time I graduate in three years.”
“Is it more important to make money or enjoy what you do?” “I think it’s more important to enjoy what you do because money is materialistic.” “What is the best piece of career advice you’ve received in college?” “The best piece of advice I have received in college is to be confident in anything I do.”
“Is it more important to make money or enjoy what you do?” “I think it’s way more important to enjoy what you do. The highest paying career doesn’t necessarily equal the happiest person.” “What is the best piece of career advice you’ve received in college?” “One of my coaches once told me: ‘nothing worth doing is easy.’ It sounds cliché in retrospect, but I always remember it when I’m struggling with something difficult.”
FOCUSING ON FEMINISM
ASU CLUB TALKS ABOUT WOMEN IN MEDIA…TO START. ALYSSA TUFTS • COLLEGE TIMES The word feminism carries a negative connotation at times. To some, it could mean equality for men and women, for others it could mean raising awareness and educating people on why feminism is an important part of society—not to mention a controversial part. The Barrett Feminist Club at ASU is all about taking on these difficult concepts and facilitating discussions about the role media has on our concept of feminism. ASU freshmen Lauren Barnes, Lerman Montoya and Maureen van Dobben started the Barrett Feminist Club in April this year after taking a class for Barrett, the Honors College. “In Barrett we have a class called ‘Human Event’ where we basically talk about humanity and readings like that and we were talking about feminism
at the time and my teacher mentioned how cool it would be,” Barnes says. In the class, they talked about writings of the past and the way culture is now and the class was excited to talk about these things—which sparked the founders’ interest to start a feminist club. “I feel like it’s common to have dialogue between women specifically about feminism, but it’s nice to have men included in it in our class because I think men often shy away from it,” Barnes says. The Barrett Feminist Club had their first event on April 22— a screening of the film “Misrepresentation” which focuses on the representation of women in media and how those perceptions skew ideas of feminism. The screening was followed by an hour-long discussion by the
attendees, who talked about their thoughts on the film and how it related to their personal lives. “Our goal was to have a community where we can talk freely and criticize media in a safe and comfortable way because while it’s great to love all these things, it’s really good to critique it and see how it can be good for us and how it might be bad for us too,” Barnes says. And that’s just the beginning. The founders say they have a lot of ideas for the club and hope to expand their discussions beyond media and feminism. One of their goals is to provide a space for people to talk about feminism and start meaningful and productive dialogue. “Coming into college, there’s some people you talk about certain topics to and some people you don’t feel comfortable
talking to about those topics, so it’s cool to open up the floor where people can share their opinions and start a dialogue between people about feminism and about issues,” co-founder Lerman Montoya says. Although the club focuses on feminism topics, Montoya says he hopes more men will be inclined to join, participate and contribute to the conversation. Part of that, he says, will come from future discussions, which will focus on men and men’s gender identity. “I think it’s funny that there’s a misconception with the word (feminism),” Montoya says. “I think it’s important for people to understand that feminism isn’t just for women, it’s for everyone. The best way to explain it is political, social and economic equality is affected…men can be feminists if they believe in equality between sexes.” As of right now, Barnes says the club is focusing on events and talking about feminism in media including television, magazines, books and film. He added
that there are a lot of movies and books that can be used to help educate people about feminism. “I am really big on social justice and having the voices of those who aren’t being heard spoken for, so I think that’s a big driving force for me and the other members of the club,” says Barnes, a social work major. “I think the goal is to have everyone understand what feminism is because it can be an idea people are uncomfortable with… really opening up their minds and educating people and getting everyone involved,” Barnes says. The club is planning to host their events on “Feminist Fridays” every other week in the fall semester and want to get a website set up with resources including articles, documentaries and organizations that discuss feminism.

inding a career you love is a lot easier said than done. As students, we’re expected to pick a major, go to school for four years and then find a job we might enjoy—all before we’re even old enough to drink. If you’re still unsure about your career after all of that, just know you’re not alone. Landing a job in a field that pays well, offers first-rate benefits and brings happiness simultaneously is not a simple task. With pressure from friends, family and society, it’s easy to get stuck in an unsatisfying job. If you’re looking to fall in love with your career rather than despise its existence, here are some ways to find that passion in life.
DON’T MAKE MONEY AN ISSUE Making money should never be the primary goal in your career search. While it is important to be financially secure, constantly focusing
on salary will result in a job that is more about money and less about happiness. While it might be tempting to stay in your situation because of the paycheck, it’s never the right reason to stay. If you love doing something else, then it will be rewarding in more ways than one.
IF YOU’RE NOT HAPPY—LEAVE Just because you’re good at your job doesn’t mean it’s the right job for you. If you feel unappreciated at your place of employment, it’s time to reevaluate. It’s OK to quit without a plan, because instead of daydreaming about a new line of work, you have no choice but to find a new one. It might be scary not knowing what’s next, but with all of that free time it’ll be easier to focus on what’s to come.
LEARN WHAT YOU LOVE If the only reason to work is
to pay the bills, you’re doing it wrong. It’s all comes down to curiosity and motivation. Try to think back to what motivates you—like forgotten childhood passions or old hobbies—and convert those into this new occupation. Does baking your grandma’s famous apple pie make you nostalgic? Do you consider yourself a dedicated yogi? Take those small joys in life and transform them into a livelihood. Sometimes, the perfect career is right in front of you.
CONSULT WITH A COLLEAGUE If you have no clue what you should do next, look to the people around you. Whether that’s a work partner, your best
friend, a significant other or your mom, chances are they’ve observed what makes you happy in life. Sit down and ask them what they think motivates you. Even if you might
not agree, talking with loved ones might result in some new ideas you wouldn’t have come up with on your own.

ttorney Michael Munoz vividly remembers the days when he was a university student. So he takes an open and honest approach when he meets with established or potential clients. “I try to have no sales approach at all,” Munoz says. “I’ll be honest with them, whether or not it’s good or bad, from start to finish. I think clients like that.” A former county prosecutor, Munoz has had his own firm for several years and solely focuses on criminal and DUI defense. “I’m very close to the college, so we get a lot of business
from college students,” he says. “There are some offenses that are more common with college kids like alcohol and drugs, unfortunately. “The most common thing that we see is drinking offenses. The two most common are minor in consumption citations or charges, or minor in possession charges of alcohol.” Each case, Munoz says, is a “bit of an adventure.” He has worked with challenging or stressful cases that have serious consequences. He calls “minor in consumption” cases the most challenging. “But I’ve had cases where people are facing prison time
because of multiple drug charges. Those are even more challenging,” he adds. “I enjoy it all. It’s not boring.” Part of his job is to help kids charged with crimes save face. After all, they could be applying for jobs soon, and criminal charges won’t bode well when a background search is conducted. “Some people get lucky and never have a brush with the law,” Munoz says. “It’s very competitive in today’s world. Good jobs are very hard to come by.” Overall, he just enjoys working with college students. “They’re usually just kids

They’re not bad people. They need the representation and we

P
begins Saturday, May 14, at Minnesota. The home opener is Wednesday, May 25, against the Minnesota Lynx. “I’m really excited about Diana Taurasi coming back,” she says. “She and I have always had a tight connection on the court. I find her to be a tremendous leader and it’s obvious she’s an amazing talent. “I look forward to her leadership on the court. She’s an ‘I-don’t-take-any-crap’ kind of captain. I love that about her. She says what needs to be said and everybody respects her. We’re a great team because of it.” Bass pauses when asked what she has learned while serving on the Mercury. “I think, being with the Phoenix Mercury, it’s been a learning experience, in terms of watching how everyone has given a piece of themselves,” she says. “I’ve always been a selfless player. “When you see teammates giving up parts of themselves for the greater good of the team, it’s very humbling. We’re athletes. We’re always competitive. With this particular team, it taught me how to step back and enjoy the moment.” She describes the Phoenix Mercury as more talented than the team that won the championship in 2014. “It’s kind of scary, actually,” Bass says with a laugh. “It’s going to be a phenomenal season. It’s the WNBA’s 20th

We have a lot of character on our team. “Penny Taylor is coming back, which is going to be awesome. I’m super excited about it.” If it sounds like Bass lives to have a positive attitude, it
would be a correct assumption. Her social media is filled with inspirational messages. “I’m all about being a positive person,” she says. “If you are the kind of person who looks for the good in things, then naturally your life is always going to be positive as well. I always find a silver lining in all situations.”

hoenix Mercury forward Mistie Bass lives selflessly. She thinks of her team first, returning too early from knee surgery so she could help the Mercury when Brittney Griner was suspended. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Bass gets her work ethic from her father, rocker Chubby Checker. “He still works super hard,” Bass says. “He’s definitely a great role model. My dad, he’s tough-nosed. He’s super disciplined and very strict, but at the same time, everything he’s always put into something he gets back.” Bass is just as disciplined, she says. She played in France for two months this summer and then decided to give her body a break to properly rehab her knee. Her social media is filled with video of and thoughts about her knee rehab process. “I had to come back early when Brittney Griner was suspended for seven days because the team wanted me,” she says about her teammate’s domestic violence issue. “I had to force myself to play and it wasn’t the best thing for me. I’m that type of player, though. I’ll put the team in front of me.” Phoenix Mercury is important to Bass, who has also played for the Houston Comets, Chicago Sky and Connecticut Sun since she was drafted in 2006. During a recent conversation, it’s clear that she’s thrilled about the upcoming season, which

LOOKING BACK THROUGH FOUR YEARS OF MUSIC

his is the final Valley Beats column I’ll be writing for College Times. After a year of exploring how music fits into our individual college experiences, my own is coming to an end. I didn’t really care much for my high school graduation, but this time around, graduation has a lot more meaning. (By the way, four years of post-secondary is enough). College gave me more reasons to feel nostalgic. I’ve gained more knowledge, met more people, felt more emotions, and, in the context of this column, experienced more music. Like smells, the sounds of 18
music can bring you back to a certain time or place. I can listen to Daft Punk’s “Discovery” and think of how it brought me closer to my freshman dorm mate, or remember hearing Chance the Rapper’s “Good Ass Intro” for the first time and wanting to throw a party on the spot. Listening to Jamie xx and Giraffage reminds me of my last summer in Seattle, where colors seemed just a touch more rich. Music is more than a bookmark for the important moments in your life. Listening, sharing, and discussing music impacts every aspect of it. This is obvious, I know. But what’s obvious is often what’s taken
for granted, and what is taken for granted is often what we miss the most. So while music can take us to a particular time and place, sometimes it best serves as a tool to forget about time and place. Think of a “dance floor moment.” You’ve probably had one during college— the right song plays, and you, by yourself or with another, lose sense of everything around you. You eventually come out of it, but during that moment, you’re in a unique state of concentrated carelessness (I promised myself I won’t use a “Perks of Being a Wallflower” line). Music was everywhere during my time in college, but I cherish moments like these the most. Nothing else can
make me feel like that. Not everything is a “dance floor moment,” of course, but thanks to the loud college culture, we’re listening to things all the time—when we get together, exercise, drive, cook, shower, study and sleep. However, we can’t let music become ubiquitous because of this; it needs to create reaction, even if that reaction is “this is awful.” Make sure to note your reactions and decipher meaning from them. I remember warehouse shows or house parties because of the intimacy they foster. I remember my first concert in Phoenix because of how it brought me closer to people I would be around for the rest
of my time here. Whether you sang karaoke or got lit at Country Thunder, you should have a singular connection to that experience and a valid reason for it. Of the many nuggets of wisdom in last year’s Oscar-nominated short film “World of Tomorrow,” one of them stands out to me. The narrator, after sharing details of personal heartbreak, says: “I am very proud of my sadness, because it makes me feel more alive.” You can substitute “sadness” for any strong emotion. Throwing on a record (in the colloquial sense of the phrase) can help us focus on those emotions. It makes us feel more alive.

WITH THIS MOVIE, EVERY SCENE WAS SO FUNNY.
DISASTROUS DATES
ADAM DEVINE AND ANNA KENDRICK VISIT ASU TO PROMOTE NEW MOVIE CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI • COLLEGE TIMES
ECOLLEGETIMES.COM | MAY 19, 2016

S
itting in Tempe’s El Hefe, actors Anna Kendrick and Adam Devine feed off of one another’s wise cracks. They finish each other’s sentences and can read each other perfectly. They owe their comedic timing to their co-starring
roles, as both of them appeared in the “Pitch Perfect” franchise, and this summer’s “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates.” “We all really got along with each other,” Devine says about the cast. “But Anna and I really hate each other.”
Kendrick pipes up, “This is immersion therapy. The studio’s like, ‘Like each other!’” In the movie, which opens July 8, hard-partying brothers Mike (Devine) and Dave (Zac Efron) place an online ad to find the perfect dates. They meet Kendrick and Aubrey Plaza and the four travel to Hawaii for the wedding of the men’s sister. Hoping for a wild getaway, the boys instead find themselves outsmarted and out-partied by the uncontrollable duo. Devine and Kendrick were in town in April to promote the movie at ASU before the school year ended. So far, Devine says, the movie has received rave reviews from students at advanced screenings. “We did one of these things at UCLA,” he says with his
omnipresent smirk. “Toward the end, these girls right in front of us started crying when it was getting a little emotional. One of her friends said, ‘Oh my God. It’s so cute.’” With frequent nudity, drug use and swearing, the R-rated movie isn’t necessarily “cute,” but it is a lot of fun. It was just as enjoyable for the cast. “It was cool being in Hawaii for as long as we were,” Devine says. “We were really feeling like locals by the end of it.” Kendrick adds examples, “You don’t go to that food truck. This is the food truck you go to. Don’t get this acai bowl, get that one.” Creating the movie didn’t feel like “work” to Devine. “A lot of times you’re in a shitty warehouse during night shoots,” he says. “With this movie, every scene was so
funny.” Not so funny was an offset incident with Devine and his family, who visited the young actor during the filming. “My dad always wanted to go deep sea fishing,” he says. “I didn’t know that I get violently seasick. It was 30 minutes into the six-hour tour and I started puking and I didn’t stop the whole time. “I was lying on the bottom of the boat shivering. I was so sick that I forgot to put on sunscreen. I cooked myself. I was shaking because I was so sick. But, it was the day we shot me and Zac fighting. I was all red and crappy looking.” There was a silver lining; the directors wanted him to look “crappy” so there was a touch of realism in the scene. “Yep, it worked out perfectly,” Devine says.

Remember: When you’re in that interview and they ask you if you have any special skills, being your fraternity’s beer pong champion for four years straight is not one of them.

Your ex got a new girlfriend, and you know what that means? Invite your friends over to Facebook stalk her, drink wine and watch the new episode of “Game of Thrones.”
That cute girl from work is giving you butterflies—you should go talk to her! Wait…that’s just the nachos you had for lunch, never mind.
It’s time to dust off that passport, Taurus. Now that school is officially over, you finally have time to explore the world. Plus, think of all the badass Instagram pictures you can take.

Summer is around the corner, so you should probably stop wearing that oversized scarf. We know being a hipster is important to you, but maybe you should try growing a beard like everyone else.
People are naturally attracted to you, and by that, we mean they’re attracted to your hot, older brother. At least good genes run in the family.
You tweeted at your favorite celebrity today and he answered, so basically you’re best friends now.
You’re getting lucky in the romance department, Virgo. Not to ruin the surprise, but that new Nicholas Sparks’ book you’ve been waiting for is finally available at the bookstore.

You watched 20 episodes of “Forensic Files” in a row and now you’re scared to go outside. Maybe it’s time to put down the remote, and buy some pepper spray.
You just found your crush on Tinder. Do you right swipe? Left swipe? Super like? This is too stressful. Just put down the phone and nobody gets hurt.
“If you can dream it, you can do it.” Walt Disney said that, and if the man who created Disneyland believes no dream is unreachable, who are we to argue with that?
Remember when you were little and a 5-minute timeout felt like an hour? That’s the same feeling you’ll get waiting for payday. You’re going to love being an adult, Capricorn.
