Stress less, manage more
By Leda Alvim M U L T I M E D I A

Busy schedules filled with classes, deadlines, club involvement and side jobs can become overwhelming to manage, especially for freshmen experiencing the college life for the first time. As first-year students dive into college life, one of the keys to success in order to remain organized and on track throughout the year is to have and practice time management skills. Besides allowing students to use their time wisely, time management can help a student remain focused and establish priorities that will

There are several tools available both online or on paper that meets all different preferences to help students manage their time and obligations. One online application that can help keep track of all the deadlines and upcoming events is Google Calendar — a time-management and scheduling online tool developed by Google. Alongside the student email, first-year students have access to use Google Calendar in both their personal and academics life. If an essay deadline or a club

meeting is coming up, students can add those events on their calendar and set notifications as reminders. Students who are not familiar with technology can also opt-out from using online calendars to journals and physical agendas. While online calendars are free and can be accessed anywhere, students need to purchase agendas in retail stores and carry them around everywhere they go to keep track of their daily activities. Another useful tool designed by the same company, Google Drive is the perfect way to organize files and documents without using the computer’s storage. In addition, the program also allows users to share and synchronize files just by clicking a button. Students can access both programs by using their

Students can create their own to-do list through several different platforms, including paper, Google Docs or even a web-based list-making application. One of those online platforms is called Trello, which allows users to create boards, lists and cards to organize and prioritize projects and activities throughout the day. Besides using tools that will allow students to keep on track, several habits can be created in order to maximize the day and be as productive as possible. Some include having a full night of sleep, prioritize important tasks and even controlling the amount spent using cellphones, especially on social media.

to become a dominant factor is to set time restrictions and to control the actual time spent. It can be considered as a social media break that can truly impact a student’s productivity in the day. After considering various practices that can help students better manage their time during their first year of college, it is essential to find what the best options are for each person. Just because something worked for somebody, does not mean that it will work for everyone. One thing to remember is to never stop exploring and always aiming for improvement. If one option doesn’t work, anyone has the opportunity to try new things and discover new habits that will eventually lead to a more organized, productive life while avoiding sleepless nights filled with stress.

The benefit of being a campus leader By Jared Sellick C O L U M N I S T
The University of South Florida is home to over 600 student organizations. ORACLE FILE PHOTO
Getting involved in your local community and meeting new people can be difficult for many new students. The University of South Florida is home to over 600 student organizations which span from cultural clubs to gaming groups. It is easy for a new student to shy away from the cultural aspect of college and never do much outside of classes and other responsibilities. However, it is important to recognize that your time at a university is a remarkable opportunity to meet a wide variety of people who could have a big impact on your
life. The cultural diversity among the students of the University of South Florida is vast. According to the Office of Multicultural Affairs there are “50 student organizations that are cultural or identity based.” There is a lot to learn from students who may have different interests and perspectives than yourself. By attending a large variety of student organizations, you may discover interests you had not otherwise considered. Rather than thinking of student organizations as a way to waste time outside of class, think of them as the investment that they are. The connections

Riverfront Park A perfect place to both relax and experience adrenaline is the USF Riverfront Park. Just five minutes away from campus, students can rent kayaks, play disc golf and even do a ropes course. Students must present their IDs at the park in order to enjoy all of the resources it has to offer.
MLK Plaza Surrounded by trees, flowers and a fountain, the MLK Plaza is one of the best places on campus to relax and enjoy nature. There are several benches available around the fountain for students to enjoy the view and distress from their busy schedules.
Castor Beach What better way to enjoy the sunset or read a book than at Castor beach? While it’s not an authentic beach, students can enjoy the beautiful Florida sunshine and the warm summer breeze at one of the several hammocks available by the lake.

Q&A with Student Body President Editor in Chief Alyssa Stewart asked Student Body President Britney Deas what her freshmen experience was like, the challenges of being a college student and her goals in Student Government. 1. How would you describe your orientation experience? My orientation was very fun because I was able to learn more about the campus and make long lasting connections with several students. It was interesting to see how excited the Orientation Leaders were and I too wanted to share that same love and passion for my university.
2. What kind of advice would you give your freshman self ? To not underestimate myself and understand that I am already capable of achieving my goals. Sometimes people will see the potential in you before you see it in yourself. Therefore, it is important to recognize the power you already contain.
3. What is your favorite part about USF? My favorite part about USF is the energy and ambition that vibrates through campus. Students seek leadership because they want to be better than they were yesterday, they want to give back to their communities and they want to leave a legacy for generations to come.
Student Body President Britney Deas loves the energy and ambition on campus. ORACLE FILE PHOTO
4. Why do you think students should be involved on campus? Students should get involved on campus because it opens doors toward leadership, professionalism and networking. It also allows you to enter into a community of individuals driven by the same mission and purpose as your own.
5. What are some of your biggest challenges as a college student? Being a commuter student was very hard for me sometimes because I often felt like I was missing out on the college experience. However, being a commuter also motivated me to become hyperinvolved on campus, which I believe led to a good portion of my success at USF. My biggest challenge now is finding balance among my role as student body president, academics and preparing for what is to come in regard to my future career.

Looking toward the 2019 season
By Brian Hattab S P O R T S
E D I T O R
USF’s 2018 season was one for the history books — albeit, for the wrong reasons. The Bulls jumped out of the gate to a 7-0 start, then stumbled and lost their last six games, becoming the first team in the history of the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) to finish 7-6 after starting 7-0. The seven wins weren’t the most convincing victories in the world, either. For example, USF only beat UConn, a team that put up the worst defense in FBS history in 2018, by a single score and needed to recover an onside kick in the fourth quarter to seal the deal. USF’s victory against Tulsa — which at that point, had not won a
game against FBS opposition — required a last-second field goal after the Bulls trailed the entire game. But that was last year and there are reasons to believe 2019 will play out differently. A less offensive offense A constant criticism in 2018 — and 2017, as well — was the ultra-conservative play calling of now-former offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert. Things became so bad that the halfback dive — in other words, a play that hands the ball to a running back who then runs straight up the middle — became a meme among USF fans on social media because it seemed to be Gilbert’s go-to play in almost every scenario,
Last season, the USF football team won the first seven games of the season and lost the last six games. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE including scenarios where it made no practical sense to do so. Gilbert left after the regular season to become the head coach at McNeese State and was replaced by former Valdosta State head coach Kerwin Bell. Bell led Valdosta State to the Division II National Championship in 2018. In the process, the Blazers’ 728 points set a new Gulf South Conference scoring record and led all of Division II. Bell’s mentality to “Play fast and score faster,” which obviously worked well at Valdosta State, is a stark contrast to Gilbert, who, upon first arriving at USF prior to
the 2017 season, commented that USF may be scoring too fast. The Bulls finished tied for 69th in scoring in FBS in 2018, for what it’s worth. Study material Imagine the idea of trying to study for a final exam, but there’s no textbook to consult. No, you didn’t lose the textbook — it never existed in the first place. That’s sort of what USF’s offense had to do under Gilbert, who did not employ a playbook and instead relied on a series of hand signals. This season, the Bulls will definitely have one, and boy, will they have one. Bell’s
playbook is “thick,” according to USF players, and contains more than 100 plays. The textbook analogy may not be the perfect one-forone comparison since there are definitely college courses that don’t need a textbook, but the existence of one surely makes studying easier. In a similar nature, the existence of a playbook makes a football player’s life easier. “It helps a lot because if we forget something, we can just go back in the playbook instead of trying to memorize hand signals and stuff like that,” wide receiver Randall St. Felix said in March.

Make health and wellness a priority By Alyssa Stewart E D I T O R
I N
C H I E F
For those who are just entering college, it is easier to prioritize football games, new friends and dining halls and your place mental health on the back burner. However, if you have moments where you are falling behind, USF makes it a top priority to get you back where you need to be. USF promotes an assortment of organizations and resources to guide you through your college experience. Some of these departments around campus include the Center for Student Well-Being, the Counseling Center, Student Health Services, the Office of Student Outreach
and Support and Campus Recreation. Wellness Centers are stationed in the Marshall Student Center (MSC) and the FIT. The purpose is to provide students with nap pods, massage chairs, free fruit and health resources. The MSC location is on the 1st floor in room 1504 and it is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Wellness Center located upstairs of the FIT does not have nap pods and won’t be open until the fall. With the goal to reduce stress, the five-minute chair massages in the MSC and the 15-minute chair massages in the FIT serve as a great pick-me-up between classes.
After cramming for an exam or staying up all night talking to your roommate, a 20-minute nap in one of the nap pods in the MSC could give you that boost you need to make it to your last lecture. You also may have a roommate who is one a different page than you are. If that is the case, you can pick up a sleep pack from the Wellness Center which includes a pair of earplugs, an eye mask, sleepy-time tea and sleep tips. For those that are interested in a check-up, a trained peer educator — students who promote holistic wellness through educational presentations and

Peer educators are a part of the REACH (Responsible Education and Action for Campus Health) and their main goal is to educate students about health and wellness. Each educator has to option to pursue alcohol and drug prevention, general wellness and mental health or sexual health and violence prevention. For those interested, applications and recruitment will begin in January. Whether you’re having relationship troubles or trying to balance your personal life with your course work, the Counseling Center is available to guide registered USF students through their issues. The team of psychiatrists, psychologists and counselors are licensed professionals who
NEW STUDENT SUMMER 2019
are able to provide you with help for free and keep your information confidential. The Counseling Center also promotes diversity by offering counseling services to international students, LGBTQ students, multicultural students and more. For those more comfortable at home, the Counseling Center also offers Therapist Assisted Online, (TAO) which is an online counseling tool that has undergone 100 studies in 20 countries, according to the Counseling Center website. Also, there are free mental health screening located on the website as well. Whether you are feeling down, need help organizing your life or need a new exercise routine, there is a multitude of departments that are at your service whenever you feel ready to use them.

A bigger defense Toward the end of the 2018 season, coach Charlie Strong stated he wanted a bigger, stronger team. USF players weren’t winning at the line of scrimmage, and a lot of that had to do with size and conditioning. Entering spring practice, numerous defensive players heeded Strong’s words — and the disastrous end to the 2018 season — and added on weight. “Coach Strong made a big emphasis on us to get bigger, stronger and faster,” defensive back Mike Hampton said in March. “So this winter conditioning, that’s what we focused on.” Hampton added 15 pounds during the winter, and he wasn’t alone in doing so. Everyone made gains, according to defensive end Kirk Livingstone. “Just guys, especially on the inside, like [Kelvin] Pinkney, [Kevin Kegler] — guys that didn’t play last year like [Devin] Leacock and [Stacy] Kirby — those guys have gained 10-15 pounds,” Livingstone said in March. “We’ve all made gains.” The key going forward will be if these players can keep the weight on they added after 2018 throughout 2019. But it’s likely to be a recurring theme for USF this year, so it seems fair to assume the pressure will
33
NEW STUDENT SUMMER 2019
be kept up by coaches to do just that. A tougher schedule While there are obviously reasons to be optimistic heading into 2019, including more than just the ones named here, this season should prove to be more challenging than 2018 just by the nature of USF’s schedule. The Bulls play Power Five opponents Wisconsin and BYU at home and Georgia Tech on the road in 2019 in addition to an AAC schedule that includes very good teams in Memphis, Cincinnati and Temple. And, of course, there’s the Black Friday matchup with that notorious school across in Orlando. But maybe that’s a good thing. During USF’s 7-0 run, which included a national ranking as high as No. 21, the Bulls were frequently criticized for playing a weak schedule, which is a tough point to refute, especially with the benefit of hindsight. Of USF’s six wins against FBS opponents, the only team to finish with a winning record was Georgia Tech, which also finished 7-6 — granted, in a way less disastrous manner. So maybe USF won’t start 7-0 again this year. Maybe it will. But, whatever 2019 has in store for the Bulls, it’s hard to argue it won’t be well earned.

9. What advice would you give future campus
leaders?
I want future campus leaders to continue the trend of USF being a place where we become the people we aspire to be and then open doors for those who aspire to be like us because it is not about being the first to do something, but it is about not being the last.
10. What kind of new initiatives do you want to bring to the next
term?
Britney Deas will serve as the first woman in over 20 years and the first AfricanAmerican female student body president.. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE/BRITNEY DEAS 6. What was there anything about college that surprised you?
The overall goal is to better student success, health, innovation, finance and tradition. Moreover, combating students homelessness and food insecurity by working with Housing and Dining Services is a priority. Also, increasing school spirit by implementing themed Homecoming events and prizes to ensure that bull pride remains in the hearts of all students even after graduation.
It surprised me that fellow students went out of their way to help guide others toward their goals. USF is filled with people willing to uplift you, whether it be sending you internship opportunities or other networking events, our peers really want to see us succeed.
7. What will you miss the most when you graduate? I am going to miss walking around campus and interacting with events such as Bulls Market, Patio Tuesday and other engaging activities that occur weekly. These weekly events have become a USF tradition and it allows the student body to learn more about student organizations, departments and available resources.
Travis McCloskey was sworn in as student body vice president for the 60th term on April 18. SPECIAL TO THE ORACLE/BRITNEY DEAS 8. How do you stay motivated? I stay motivated by reflecting on my past experiences in a prayer journal, listening to uplifting music and seeking mentors that encourage me to leap forward.
11. What can students expect from you as their student body
president?
Students can expect me to represent them to the best of my abilities by being and active leader in the USF community. I want to be a leader who asks before they act because I believe that there is always something to be learned and with more information and collaboration comes better strategy to accomplish the initiatives of the student body.
