IMAGE COMPOSED by Victoria JordanI am a public relations major and a part of my future career will consist of monitoring social media sites.

“Regrets are the natural property of grey hairs,” Charles Dickens once said. What does that mean? The more you regret, the greyer you’ll be? Maybe, but one thing is for sure, everyone regrets something they have done, or didn’t do when they had the chance to. Life is about making choices, and taking chances, and sometimes we don’t do what we wanted in the long run and wish we would have. College is a four year period with a high probability for regret.
Diversity is a dominant aspect in everyone’s daily lives. However, it is also one of the most misunderstood concepts, one that many people do not take the time to recognize and appreciate. Embracing ideological diversity improves one’s social and professional life, while also having the power to teach individuals something about themselves.
With finals quickly approaching, students often feel overwhelmed with their studies and last minute, late night study sessions become the norm.

Just don’t ask Mark Zuckerburg, Bill Gates or Steve Jobs to back me up on that one. But is the job market so competitive right now that a mere bachelor’s degree is not enough to set you apart from everyone else?
The return from spring break kicks off the final weeks of the spring semester. Warmer, longer days are eagerly welcomed and made the most of by students around campus. Swimsuit season calls all students to the beach, a convenient mile from campus. Life at school doesn’t seem to get any more perfect than these last two months.
