Common Leasing Myths & Facts:
Myth: Fact: Myth: Fact: Myth: Fact: Myth: Fact: Myth: Fact:
My lease isn’t valid without a guarantor. Landlords consider a signed lease valid even without a guarantor. I’m not responsible for damage that was there when I moved in. You will be held responsible if you didn’t note it on your move-in inventory. I can cancel my lease and move out if I don’t like living there. Cancelling a lease is very difficult and can lead to serious economic consequences. I will get all of my deposits and fees back when I move out. Fees are not returned and tenants rarely receive their entire deposit back. Landlords will pay for the theft or damage of my personal property. Landlords will not pay. Tenants should protect themselves with renters insurance. TexasTechWord.com / 2019-2020

College in a nutshell:
f o t ou By Michelle Bless Good grades, sleep, social life - you only get two. This phrase is college in a nutshell. As college students, we spend a lot of time in class doing homework, completing projects, studying for exams, working several days a week to pay the bills, exercising at the rec, and of course, spending free time doing whatever we want with friends. To do all that, we have to schedule and plan. We can’t just say we’re going to meet at Charley B’s sometime this week and expect everyone to magically show up at the right time and the right table. So if we need to plan everything we do to manage our lives, how come most people don’t plan a time to go to sleep? Doctors say that the ideal amount of sleep for an adult is 8 hours. This might not seem doable all the time in college. A lot of students go the whole week sleeping 4 hours a night until Saturday when they sleep away half the day. To combat exhaustion during the school day and work shift, most students will drink coffee. I know I always have coffee in my hand when I walk into morning classes. But as helpful as coffee is, irresponsible drinking can be dangerous. Caffeine is a stimulant. It blocks your brain from receiving adenosine, the neurotransmitter which causes fatigue. While this is a great short-term solution to sleepiness, it means all the adenosine your body produced over the last few hours will hit you all at once when the caffeine wears off. A common solution is to keep drinking coffee, or some other caffeinated beverage. But caffeine is a diuretic, causing you to need to urinate. Because of this, your body loses water faster while you’re drinking coffee. Most people will not think to drink water along with their coffee, but dehydration causes headaches and drowsiness. At this point, it can be tempting to go back to the coffee, thinking you need more to stay awake. In reality, you need water and sleep. The only way to actually get rid of the adenosine running to your brain is to sleep it off. We have to plan everything we do, and the time we wake up is crucial to making the day successful and productive. There’s already enough going on in a day without worrying about staying awake. So set a bed time, and do your body and your wallet a favor. Sleep is free from monetary charge.
Title IX: for the safety & well-being of all
By Matthew Koehl President of RISE Peer Educators Texas Tech University is committed to the safety and wellbeing of every individual on our campus. As a college student, you likely have more resources available to you than you have ever had before. We want to make sure you know about laws, policies, and resources. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination based on sex at any federally funded educational institution. This type of discrimination includes all forms of sexual or gender-based harassment. All students should know what policies govern student behavior at Texas Tech. Make sure you understand what consent really means, and what is considered
stalking, dating violence, or sexual exploitation. Make sure you know where and how to report an incident that may violate a policy, and how to access resources that could help you or a friend in need. There are multiple places and people who can help you file a report or access resources. There is a 24-houra-day, 365-days-a-year Crisis HelpLine, 806-742-5555, students can call any time they need to speak with a licensed counselor about anything. All faculty and staff members are required to report any Title IX-related incident they are made aware of. Students who report incidents to the university can access resources, even if they choose not to move forward with an inves-
tigation. The Office for Student Rights and Resolution has a Case Manager and Support Coordinators who can connect students with campus and community resources. Students who disclose an incident of sexual violence or gender-based harassment to a confidential reporter, such as a university counselor or healthcare provider at Student Health, can be confident these staff members can assist students in accessing resources and filing a report only

Each student will be given a fair and due process as well as provided resources during and following the investigation. Additionally, support coordinators are available to any individual involved in a Title IX investigation through the Office of Student Rights and Resolution. A university investigation is separate from a criminal investigation. To report to a local police department for a criminal investigation, contact the Texas Tech Police department at 806-742-3931 or the Lubbock Police Department at 806-7752865. If the incident does not take place in Lubbock or on campus, you can still report the incident to any of these resources if you are a student at Texas Tech. If you wish to move forward with both an administrative and criminal investiga-
tion, you can report the incident to both the Office for Student Rights and Resolution and the Texas Tech or Lubbock police department. If you’d like to report an incident that does not involve Texas Tech students, you may still be able to access TTU resources. Contact the Office for Student Rights and Resolution for more information. Deciding whether to file a report and pursue an investigation is a difficult and personal decision. Not all students choose to move forward with one of these processes. If a student decides not to continue with an investigative process, he can still access the resources at Texas Tech.

Politics, marijuana and booze can transform your life. So, you’re trying to find a job. Just start posting on social media about your political beliefs, even if you’re trying to be funny. That will get you screened out of any possibility of a job 47% of the time, said J.T. O’Donnell, founder and CEO of WorkItDaily.com. Yes, it’s election heyday time, and the mud-slinging is in full force. But unless you want to eat those ‘mud pies’ you crafted as a child, leave off the politics – no one really cares what you think anyway. 90% of recruiters look at your social
media before even inviting you for an interview, according to a 2018 Jobsite study. If you want to try for worse prospects, just post pictures and info on marijuana. Evidently 57% of those recruiters don’t take kindly to reefer-smoking. If you still haven’t been thrown out of the job pool, you have one more chance - post a few pictures of alcohol, and 42% will give you the ax. Moral of the story – keep your social media opinion-free. And you might want to post photos that show how well you look in clothes rather than photos of how much skin you have.

Be an emergency responder, not a bystander By Michelle Bless There is a back road outside Lubbock. It is only frequented by the people who live miles outside the city. It’s 3 a.m. The only people within three miles are sound asleep. You and your friend are driving down the road. You are just having a good night together. You are just innocently enjoying the air. A deer leaps out of the grass and crashes into the side of your car. Your car spins out of control. When the dust settles and the screaming stops, your friend is unconscious and blood is pouring out of her leg. There is no one to help you. First responders cannot possibly get there in less than seven minutes. But your friend could be dead in five. Stop the Bleed is an awareness campaign and educational course for the public on how to respond to emergency situations. It was a collaborative effort launched by the White House in October 2015, designed as a response to active shooting events. The Stop the Bleed course has two goals: to help people recognize life-threatening bleeding, and to educate lay people on how to stop the bleed. The number one cause of preventable death after injury is bleeding. And if a wound is severe enough, a person can bleed to death in five minutes. The Stop the Bleed course teaches an ABC method: A- Alert 911, B- identify where the Bleeding is coming from, and C- Compress the wound. Alerting 911 as soon as possible is crucial. Although the methods taught in this class will help keep someone alive, first respond-
ers are critical in saving the life of a victim. A person may be bleeding in multiple places. Clothing may hide where the bleeding is coming from, and it can be necessary to cut or remove clothing. 3 major areas to check for bleeding are arms and legs, neck and armpits and groin, and the body area. There are three methods of compression, which are not interchangeable: pressure, packing, and using a tourniquet. Applying direct pressure to a wound can sometimes stop the flow of blood. While applying pressure to an injury will cause more pain, Stop the Bleed reminds lay people that it is important above anything else to stop the bleeding. Making physical contact with
another person’s blood can be a dangerous form of cross-contamination. Stop the Bleed advises people to use rubber gloves, if at all possible, or articles of clothing placed over hands while handling blood. If pressure does stop the bleeding, continue to hold that pressure until First Responders take over. If there are multiple victims who need attention, including yourself, try using an object such as a heavy book or piece of equipment nearby. It may also be necessary to ask victims to pressure their own wounds. What matters is that it stops the bleeding. Sometimes wounds are so large or deep that pressure only makes the blood flow faster, or not enough pressure can be provided to help. In that case, packing the wound with
gauze is the most efficient method to stop the bleeding. This involves pushing folds of gauze as deep as possible into the wound, and continuing the method until the wound is filled with material. If gauze is not available, thin folds of clothing or other material can be used. EMS advises that they would rather treat an infection than care for a corpse. Tourniquets are an especially useful tool when stopping a bleed. Tourniquets should be applied 2 to 3 inches above the wound, but they cannot be placed on an elbow, knee, or neck. It can be applied over clothes, and people can apply their own tourniquets or on others. If professional tourniquets are not available, a tourniquet can be anything that wraps around and turns. The tourniquet must be applied as tightly as possible, and must be able to twist on itself. A belt or a shoelace can be used as a tourniquet. Tourniquets must be tightened until the bleeding stops, and should never be removed until EMS arrives on the scene. When applied properly, tourniquets are extremely painful. If it stops the bleeding, it must continue. Children can normally be treated the same as adults for bleeding control. For infants or especially small children, direct pressure is usually the only necessary method of treatment. Accidents, emergencies, and active shooter events are a reality. Preparation and education will help ordinary citizens respond to emergency situations, and turn from bystanders to responders. “The only thing more tragic than a death is a death that could have been prevented” ~ Stop the Bleed training course.

Stress, transition, & coping: Achieving balance in your 1st year By Ashley Rose Marino RISE Graduate Assistant Stress. Transition. Coping.

in your classes, make new friendships, stay in touch with friends in your hometown, join a club, get to know your professors, AND have enough time to sleep? It’s called balance. At least that’s what the experts tell me. Since the goal of achieving true balance seems elusive after listing everything you’ll need to juggle, let’s look to a theory that might help guide you toward becoming your best self. In your intro psychology class, you may have been introduced to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. While you’re in the middle of navigating the most drastic life
Once your foundation is stable, you can start to move up on the pyramid and focus on other aspects of your life. The Safety Needs rung of the pyramid stresses the importance of things such as your finances, dorm, and safety. If you’re constantly battling your roommate, are worried about paying tuition, and don’t feel at home in your space, you can imagine it would be difficult to focus on anything else. Maslow’s pyramid shows that the two bot-
changes you’ve experienced, taking care of yourself should be your #1 priority. The pyramid is a visual of Maslow’s Hierarchy. As you can see, it’s impossible to go higher up the pyramid if your foundation (AKA your physical and mental health) is not solid. We’ll focus on the bottom two rungs of the hierarchy for this article: your physiological needs and safety needs. Maslow’s hierarchy stems from the idea that you can’t focus on other areas of your life if first and foremost your physiological needs (AKA: biological needs such as food, sleep, and water) are not met. Can you focus on studying if you’re totally sleep deprived? Is it possible to go out with friends while you’re dehydrated and woozy? Will you be able to work when you haven’t had anything to eat? Maslow says that taking care of your physical and mental wellbeing is your most important priority (and RISE does, too).
tom-most levels are completely focused on your own wellbeing. We know that relationships with the important people in your life and achieving in your classes are incredibly important; we’re not arguing against that. In order to be there for others and to achieve your goals, you need to start with a focus on yourself and your immediate surroundings. Balance is all about working from the bottom up to the top. Take care of yourself, the rest should fall into place. RISE’s Wellness Coaching is a program available to all Red Raiders that focuses on growth through discussions to help students reach their potential. To set up an initial meeting, contact rise@ttu.edu.

What to do if confronted by police Knowing what to do if stopped by police can mean the difference between walking away and getting arrested - or worse. Despite body cams and ubiquitous cell phone videotapes, the overzealousness of some police continues with alarming frequency. On campus, that has involved both professors and students. Add profiling and inherent biases and a simple stop by police can swiftly turn into your worst nightmare. Never assume you can defuse a volatile situation on your own. If you find yourself in trouble, whether it’s with campus authorities or local or state police, don’t hesitate. Know your rights. And always get legal advice.
Recording police legally Recording police in public places is protected by the First Amendment. (On private property requires the permission of the owner.) ►You can record or photograph anything in plain sight, including what officers do, but you cannot interfere with them. ►Stand at a safe distance - don’t shove your phone or recording device in anyone’s face, or between an officer and whoever they’re interacting with. ►Don’t behave in a threatening manner. ►Get a smartphone app that covertly captures police encounters, if stopped. ►Officers can’t view your photos/footage without a warrant, or legally delete them. 14
TexasTechWord.com / 2019-2020
Here are our tips on how to handle yourself in the meantime: 1. Stay calm. 2. Remain silent. 3. Don’t waive your rights. 4. Refuse permission for searches. 5. Don’t reach for ID until/unless asked. 6. Never touch a police officer. 7. If they come to your door, don’t let them in. Taking a closer look:
1 2
Stay calm. Don’t panic, get aggressive or, worse, run. Even if they’re forceful or belligerent, be smart. Be calm. Remain silent. Everyone knows this, yet nearly everyone forgets when on the spot. Being “helpful” helps them, not you. Identify yourself, if asked, but don’t answer questions. If they persist, ask, “Am I under arrest?” Repeat it politely until you get an answer. If they say no, ask, “Am I free to go?” Keep asking until you get a yes or no answer. If the answer is yes, thank them and leave. If it’s no, stay silent.
3
Don’t waive your rights. If police claim they can only help you or that it will go more easily on you if you “cooperate,” remember: Constitutional rights are for your protection. If they detain you, ask to speak to a lawyer.
4
Refuse permission for searches. Refuse permission to let anyone search you, or your vehicle if stopped while driving, and say, I refuse permission for a search—but don’t resist if they insist.
5
Keep your hands visible.This is particularly important if you’ve been stopped while in a vehicle. Don’t attempt to pull out any ID from your pocket, purse, backpack, glove compartment, etc., unless asked to do so, and do it slowly.
6 7
Never touch a police officer for any reason. Touching an officer, no matter the reason, is felony assault—don’t do it! If they come to your door, don’t let them in. If they come to your door, step outside, close the door behind you, and politely refuse them entry. Even in a campus dormitory, police cannot enter without a warrant. It’s not illegal to refuse to talk to police. Don’t give anything more than your name. Remember, police have a job to do, and they may also feel at risk, justifiably or not. Behave respectfully - even if they don’t. Ultimately, if you are arrested, or the subject of a disciplinary proceeding on campus, be smart. Don’t let anyone talk you out of your right to get legal advice. Your future could be at stake. Information provided by Stephen Hamilton, Board Certified in Criminal Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.
In Trouble with the Law? IF YOU ARE STOPPED BY THE POLICE: ▪ Stay Calm! Do not run, argue or resist. ▪ Ask if you are “Free to Leave.”
▪ You have the right to remain silent. ▪ You do not have to consent to a search.
IF YOU ARE IN YOUR VEHICLE:
▪ Stop the car in a safe place as soon as possible. ▪ Make sure you pull over legally – use your ▪ Upon request – show police your driver’s license, registration and proof of insurance. ▪ you can refuse to consent to the search. ▪ Both the driver and the passenger have the right to remain silent.
▪ The passenger may ask if they are “Free to Leave.” ▪ You always have the right to remain silent. ▪ You do not have to submit to any sobriety tests. ▪ You can refuse to give consent for a breath or blood test unless the police have a warrant. ▪ If you are arrested, be polite and don’t talk on the jail phones as they are recorded.
A criminal arrest may follow you through school and after graduation

Are your parents coming to town?
Book your hotel early! Last year my parents came to town for the biggest football game of the season. Unfortunately, they had to stay in Brownfield. We just didn’t know we needed to book the hotel room so far in advance. Needless to say, my parents were pissed. It’s astonishing how many people visit Lubbock in a single year. According to the Lubbock Economic Development Association, there were about 5.71 million visitors to the Hub City in 2014 alone – and that number has steadily grown. You might have heard it said that there’s “nothing to do in Lubbock”. Oh yeah? Tell that to a local hotel in this area, and you’ll get laughed out of the lobby. They’ll be quick to point out that room availability during many times of the year can be rather dicey. Consider times such as game days, concerts, presentations, UIL, and graduations, and rooms can become rather scarce in a hurry. By the time you combine local high schools with local universities such as Texas Tech, Lubbock Christian, Wayland Baptist and South Plains College, you’ve got a lot of human beings scurrying around looking for a place to sleep. So unless you want your parents bunking with you and your girl/ boyfriend in an already over-crowded empty-beer bottle filled apartment, you might want to BOOK YOUR HOTEL EARLY!! Seriously, it’ll make that time spent with your parents much more enjoyable.

So your parents want to be involved? By Christine Self, Ph.D. So, your parents and family members want to be involved in your Texas Tech experience? That’s great! We want your family to be involved and able to support your success. Below are two simple ways your family can be involved in your college education while supporting you in your growing independence.
Rich people have small TVs and big libraries. Poor people have small libraries and big TVs.

Your family can call Parent & Family Relations at 806-742-3630 or email parent@ttu.edu. Encourage your family to visit during Family Weekend or Family Days. Family Weekend – Oct. 4-5, Family Day at First Friday Art Trail – Nov. 1, Family Day at Carol of Lights – Dec. 3. Visit familyweekend.ttu.edu for more information. Your status as a college student means the way you communicate with your parents and family members is evolving.

Here are some tips to help you communicate with family so they can support your college journey.
Be open with your fam-
ily about your academic progress, whether it’s good or not-so-good. Don’t be afraid to let your family know if you need help.
Don’t let your family take
care of everything. When your parents and family members give you guidance, act on it yourself. Meet with your instructor if you are having trouble in class, make appointments to visit campus departments who can help you, and stay on top of academic advising each semester.
Talk with your family about
your budget. Make sure you know who is paying for what while you are in college.
Be prepared to discuss
changes when you go home for the holidays. Will your family expect you to have the same house rules you had before coming to Texas Tech? How have your eating and sleeping habits changed? Talk to your family about the time you would like to have free to spend time with friends while you’re home, but do make yourself available for family time as well. Your parents and family members want the same thing for you that Texas Tech does - for you to be successful. Encourage your family to get involved and keep them informed about your college life so they can support you in your Red Raider experience.

Sportsmanship Be wild, crazy, loud and intense – make Tech a tough place for opponents to win. Make “home field/court advantage” mean something. Loyal fans are immense with teams and can have a huge impact on the game. A tradition of excellence at Texas Tech is a standard in the classroom as well as in the competitive arena. Be the best fan you can be - show sportsmanship, decency and respect. You don’t need to question someone’s heritage or throw out words you wouldn’t use in front of your grandmother! Athletes, coaches, staff, officials, and opponents deserve positive accolades. A team can be penalized for unsportsmanlike fan behavior. So how do you want to be remembered?

The 10 Commandments of Parking 1. Read the Signs!
They tell you what permits are applicable and what times you can and cannot park there. There is also a map explaining parking sites on the parking website. After 5:30 p.m. on weekdays, all valid Texas Tech permits allow you to park on the interior of campus.
4. Pay your tickets!
Ten days after receiving your ticket, you are charged an additional late fee. Failure to pay tickets results in holds on your ability to register, and can even prevent you from graduating.
2. E-Permit
getting a citation to appeal it. More information regarding appeals is available on the Parking Services website.
6. Don’t get a boot!
Failure to pay your tickets can cause other problems, such as getting a boot put on your car. This occurs after you receive nine unpaid tickets in one semester.
7.
Purchase an e-permit on the Parking Services website. Several options for parking permits are available, and you can include the permit cost in with your tuition. A new evening permit is available for those who only need to access campus after 5:30 p.m. during the week. For a nine-month period, the cost is $40, and for a year the cost is $121.
8. Yield to pedestrians. That is a general courtesy rule.
9. Share the road!
3. Commuter lots.
After 2:30 p.m., if you have a permit in either commuter parking lot, you are able to park in the other. For example, if you have a Commuter North permit, after 2:30, you may park in Commuter West.
Motorcyclists.
Owners of motorcycles and mopeds must pay for permits and may park in designated twowheel vehicle areas.
Bicyclists are common on campus and need the road as much as you do.
5. Appeal.
You may also use that 10-day period after
10. Be Courteous
Be polite to the parking staff in the booths. They are only doing their job by enforcing the rules, not being the bad guy.

duct tape. That’s certainly one way to establish boundaries, but probably not the healthiest way. You have the freedom to make connections with literally dozens of new people daily. With great freedom comes great responsibility, so let’s make sure you’re setting up your boundaries in those relationships the healthy way.
There are 3 kinds of boundaries: rigid, porous, and healthy. I bet you can guess which kind of boundaries you’ll want to strive to establish. (Just in case you need a hint, they’re the kind that start with an “h” and end with “ealthy”.) Rigid boundaries are established to keep others at a distance, whether emotionally, physically, or otherwise. Porous bound-

Consequences can be as simple as saying, “If you continue to do x, y, and z, I will call you out and let you know how I feel.” Though consequence setting can be uncomfortable at first, the people you’ll want to spend time with will respect your boundaries. Creating healthy boundaries will not only benefit you, but also the people around you. After all, duct tape is expensive.

Unless your parents are paying for you to live alone in a 3,000 square foot home – you know, as a “real estate investment” – you probably have a roommate. Maybe this roommate comes and goes at all hours of the night and you keep asking yourself, “I wonder what the cat drug in the house this time?” Yes sir, some people will crawl in the rack with about anything that breathes. Some lack integrity, but integrity is like talent – they don’t stock it on the shelves. So what do you do with a roommate who acts more like a pirate than a human being? “Arrr, Matey – who’s the gal you invited into our apartment last night that’s standing in the kitchen this morning drinking the orange juice straight out of the bottle?” Well, for starters, you need to set some guidelines.

Safety on campus is something the SGA feels must be addressed before a problem, not afterward. For this reason, Student Government has partnered with the Police Department and other entities on campus to implement the e Light Phones. All of these phones immediately dial the TTU Police Department when the receiver is picked up. More information on these nes and other similar services is available in the SGA office.

Cutting back costs on your wedding might save you more than just money. A study by two economic professors at Emory University, Andrew Francis and Hugo Mialon, found that couples who spend less on their wedding are more likely to have longer-lasting marriages than those who have a more expensive wedding. More specifically, the study shows that couples who spend $20,000 or more on their wedding have a 1.6 times higher risk of divorce, and those who spend $1,000 or less have a significantly decreased likelihood of divorce. According to a wedding website, The Knot, the average wedding cost was $31,000 in 2014. Although authors of the study did not give an explanation for the results, they proposed that wedding-related debt might cause stress on the couple, resulting in an unhappy marriage. The study also found that couples who have more guests
at their wedding, and go on a honeymoon, tend to stay married longer. Whether you spend a lot or a little, it is important to remember the purpose of the wedding, which is to celebrate the beginning of two lives coming together in marriage. Associated with higher chance of divorce: • Greater differences in age and education between the husband and wife • Couples who say their partner’s looks were important in the decision to marry • Higher wedding expenses Associated with lower chance of divorce: • Relatively high household income • Regularly attending religious services • The couple having a child with each other • High wedding attendance • Going on a honeymoon • Lower wedding expenses

For thousands of years, across hundreds of generations, people have come to Lubbock Lake. Located just north of Loop 289 and minutes from campus, the waters of this ancient lake nourished a rich and abundant ecosystem that in turn, provided food, shelter, tools, and clothing to those who traveled across it or came to settle here. Clovis Age hunter-gatherers, who followed the Ancient Bison and Colombian Mammoth, the Apache and Comanche nations, and the founding of a modern city are each a part of the history of this National Historic Landmark that is one of the premier archaeological and research sites in North America. Located in a restored, 336-acre natural grassland, the Landmark is open daily Tuesday through Sunday and features 4.5 miles of walking trails, exhibits, and programs throughout the year. The earth gives up its secrets only once - and only to those who know how to read them. Since the accidental discovery of evidence of early man in 1936, the Museum of Texas Tech University has directed the research at and preservation of the Landmark. More than 80 years of research has produced a nearly complete record of human activity spanning 12,000 years as well as intriguing clues that may indicate even earlier cultures.
Southwest Collection A gallery along the north side of the Southwest Collection building houses permanent displays as well as the other units of the University Library, including the University Archives, the Archive of the Vietnam Conflict, and the Library’s Rare Books Collection. The facility is also the home for editorial offices of the West Texas Historical Association and its annual yearbook. The Library’s 1688 Coronelli Globe is displayed in the rotunda. Upstairs, the stacks area offers a climate-controlled environment that provides a constant temperature and humidity as well as a positive ventilation outflow which helps preserve valuable books and documents.
There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the Republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution. - John AdAms, 2nd President of the United stAtes TexasTechWord.com / 2019-2020

TexasTechWord.com / 2019-2020
Texas Tech University is home to many champions. Being a champion is more than just winning in a competition. It’s about opening doors for those who follow you into a building. It’s about saying ‘Thank you’ to the person at a check-out counter. It’s about calling someone you love – instead of texting them. It’s about getting back with people in a timely fashion. It’s about listening – instead of constantly talking. It’s about being open to other people’s ideas and beliefs – even if they don’t jive with your own. It’s about knowing your boundaries, and it’s about being aware. It’s about respect, integrity, and honor - the Red Raider standard. Texas Tech Today is the e-newsletter that tells the stories of Texas Tech to the world. They tell of achievements, successes, and excellence that makes Texas Tech a great university.

I want my music - in headphones
By Michelle Bless I enjoy listening to my music when I study. I enjoy my music. Mine alone. Not someone else’s. And the fastest way to annoy me when I’m working is turning your music in your ear buds up so loud I can hear it from the library desk next to you. Music is good for your brain. It can be relaxing, motivational, or help focus your mind. But listening to music through your ear buds, letting that sound push straight into your eardrum, can be dangerous. Studies say that with the volume capacity most computers and phones now have, turning the music up all the way on a regular basis can cause serious hearing damage. The more volume you allow to hit your ear drum, the more likely you are to cause damage. Ear buds are cheap, and they help us hear music - that’s why most people use them. But in a crowded library or rec room, with everyone’s chatter or machines moving, it seems the only way to hear our music is to crank it up louder. Scientists agree that the issue comes down to volume: how much force is hitting your ear drum? For the crowded library or rec room, noise-canceling head phones could be the best, and safest, option. Noise-canceling head phones fit over your ears, trapping the sound around you instead of projecting it straight into your ear. They also block out most of the noise around you, making the room seem quieter than it is. If the noise is already significantly decreased, you won’t need to turn your music up louder to hear it, or to avoid hearing the people around you. It’s also easier to focus on your music when you’re not trying to hear it through the muffled conversations around you. Your brain does not have to work as hard to listen, conserving your energy to focus better on studying or lifting weights. As a final plus, they look great. Over the ear headphones are back in style, and they come in lots of colors now. So grab your red and black head phones and get back to school!

At Red to Black Peer Financial Coaching, most students come to us to assist them with their monthly budget. Everyone has a different financial situation. Some students come looking to accomplish financial goals, prioritize their spending, or to simply create game plans. Budgeting is creating a spending plan. The goal of creating a spending plan is so that you can tell your money where to go. To be able to do that, the first task is to list your expenses. Groceries, meals out, vending machine purchases, bills, and debt payments are all examples of items that need to be accounted for on a monthly basis. Next, calculate your monthly income received (if any) during the month. If you are receiving student loans, you can divide the total amount received by the number of months in the semester to try to spread out your funds.
Creating & sticking to a spending plan
To see how you did, subtract total income minus total expenses Was their more month than money leftover or did you have plenty? Do you need to find a place to put extra funds? Do you need to adjust your spending habits? What do you need to do? If you seem to be short of funds every month, the next step is to see whether you need to cut back on certain expenses. For example, do you spend $100 on clothing per month when you only need to spend $20? Did you end up spending $40 at Target when you only went in for one thing small item? Ask whether the items you listed are wants or needs. If they are needs, be sure to appropriately account for how much money you will need each month for that expense. If the item is a want, consider whether you can forego that expense, decrease the amount of money allotted to it, or redefine what your needs are on a monthly basis. After you create your monthly spending plan, stick to it. Go into each month with a game plan, & you will see its value in the long run. If you need assistance, reach out via email to www.redtoblack@ ttu.edu. We have a peer financial coach who can help.

We appreciate your continued trust — and we’re proud to serve Texas Tech University.
