INTERVIEW: Caroline White, Our first contest winner of the week!

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Corinne DeCost

Hello, InstaRammers!
After a summer off, we finally kicked off our first contest of the school year last week. Our winner, Caroline White, won a Dunkin Donuts gift card AND a feature on our blog this week (and we’re going to pretend that’s a big-time-prize!)

INSTARAM: What is your major/year? What are you involved in on and off campus?
CAROLINE WHITE: I am a Junior but I’m graduating this spring! I am a philosophy major and I am going on to graduate school for social work. I am a member of Jumpstart and I am a service learning faculty assistant.

What do you do to de-stress during the school year?946384_10151921337246913_1317792875_n

WHITE: During the year I like to reorganize myself and write down a check list of everything I need to accomplish. That way I can create a plan and not have it all jumbled. I also like to just relax abs hang out with my boyfriend and friends to get away from everything for a while.

What is your favorite memory at Suffolk?
WHITE: My favorite Suffolk memory was joining Jumpstart and finally deciding what to do with my life! Or…meeting Stephanie Yackovetsky if she’s reading this…

What advice do you have for the incoming students? 
WHITE: Every freshman needs to get involved on campus. It’s hard starting somewhere new and going to a brand new club or event, but in the end it’s worth it! I was totally scared but that’s how I met all my friends!

Random question: What are you getting with your Dunkin Donuts gift card??
WHITE: I am totally getting a Coffee Coolatta before they’re out of season!

Special thanks to Caroline for participating in our contest and taking the time to answer our questions! Keep your eyes peeled for future InstaRam contests!

Freshman Advice

Posted on August 28, 2013 by Corinne DeCost

For those of you who haven’t been following us on Twitter for the past month or so, you’ve been missing out on our Freshman Advice tips! We’ve compiled ALL 75 here for you, plus our few extras from interacting with you all on Twitter.

If you ever need to know ANYTHING about campus, never hesitate to ask. InstaRam is here for you!

  1. Get involved!
  2. Rainboots. And, if you share a public shower…shower shoes.
  3. Learn your limits!
  4. Get the Modern sandwich at Cafe 73.
  5. Twin XL sheets. READ. XL. Not twin.
  6. Look at the list of ‘can’t haves’ in the dorm room. Things will be confiscated, even an “illegal lamp”!
  7. The friends you make in the first week will NOT be the last you’ll make at school.
  8. You do NOT have to bring food on move in day. Trust us, there are grocery stores in Boston.
  9. It may be September when you move in, but the majority of the school year is winter…Pack accordingly.
  10. On campus events usually mean “free food”. Even if you just drop by.
  11. You will have a wardrobe (closet, 2 drawers), a 3 drawer dresser, and 3 small drawers in your desk.
  12. If you’re partying, ALWAYS have a buddy you trust with you. Safety should always come first.
  13. Bring an agenda book. Read your syllabus. Put everything FROM the syllabus INTO the agenda book.
  14. If you’re a performer, audition for EVERYTHING you might want to be a part of.
  15. Did we mention…get involved?
  16. Be open to trying new things. Always. Life is boring if you’re living a rerun episode every day.
  17. Even if you think you might sleep through it, go to class. You’ll hear at least PART of the lecture.
  18. You can see the professor, and they can also see you. Stop fooling around…they’ll remember it.
  19. Be frugal with your school supplies – it’s no fun to drag those around for the 10 minute walk to class.
  20. Want to bring a laptop to class? Turn off your wifi. Your grades and your professors will be thankful.
  21. Waterproof backpack, protective pouch for your laptop, and a place to keep your room key and student ID.
  22. Heels are fashionable, but Boston has hills, cobblestone, brick, and grass. Wear sensible shoes to class.
  23. Umbrellas are your friend.
  24. Walking to class,while moving, shouldn’t be your only exercise. It’s important to move whenever you can!
  25. Prepare yourself for Halloween. We take it seriously, and it lasts ALL week.
  26. Your RAs & RDs are your friends. Seriously. And they know EVERYONE and EVERYTHING to help you.
  27. Use Sept 2 & 3 to explore the campus. You don’t have class until Sept 4!
  28. Too lazy to find out what lunch is? Check online! They even have nutrition info!
  29. You really don’t need to bring your laptop to class, in most classes. It’s safer in your dorm!
  30. Start packing at LEAST a week before move-in, packing essentials last. You’ll be less likely to forget!
  31. Get up at LEAST an hour before your first class each day. This will give you plenty of time to get ready.
  32. The walk from West/Tremont dorms to Donahue classes is approx. 10 minutes, + a few for elevator/stairs.
  33. Attend events that interest YOU, and you’ll be more likely to meet people like YOU.
  34. It isn’t a bad idea to have a tool box & mini sewing kit…You may also make friends that way.
  35. Your professors all have office hours…for a reason. Visit, and they’ll be sure to remember you did.
  36. Play an instrument, or sing? Visit the PAO (D409), they have access to the music practice rooms!
  37. If your friend has an event going on, ATTEND IT. They’ll remember you supported them later on!
  38. Desk organizers and plastic drawers are your friend.
  39. Establish a daily routine as soon as possible. It will definitely lead to success in classes!
  40. Get to know at LEAST 1-2 others in each of your classes. It will come in handy.
  41. Watch how much processed food and starches you’re eating. They can definitely slow you down.
  42. Everything in moderation. EVERYTHING. Socializing, studying, partying, eating. Everything.
  43. Always throw out/refrigerate leftover food, and clean out the fridge regularly. Just trust me…do it.
  44. Try to do laundry at LEAST once every 2 weeks…when it piles up, it REALLY piles up…
  45. Condoms. Every time. You can get them free on campus, so you have NO excuse.
  46. As much as you miss friends back home, don’t let catching up keep you from making new ones! Find balance.
  47. Sleep. Because it’s worth it.
  48. Know how to budget your money. You’ll have a limited income – be smart about it!
  49. Set ALL ground rules with your roommates as soon as possible.
  50. Use the iPhone to your advantage.Set reminders for assignments,alarms for classes & download study aids!
  51. Don’t just throw a bad grade in the trash – meet with your professor to understand why.
  52. If you only keep healthy snacks in your dorm, you don’t have the option to eat junk when you’re lazy.
  53. Take risks, and set goals.
  54. All-nighters are never necessary if you plan ahead.
  55. Don’t ever be afraid to ask for help.
  56. Any textbook you buy…from anywhere…can be sold back to the school at the end of the semester.
  57. Know future you. Will future you want to do that project? Probably not. Plan ahead for future you.
  58. Ballotti Learning Center offers AWESOME aids to help you reach your potential – plan a visit.
  59. You don’t have time to be sick – get a flu shot, wash your hands, don’t share drinks.
  60. Roommate problems will never go away on their own. Deal with them early…and not with a sticky note.
  61. It’s your roommate’s room as much as it is yours. Consider that with visitors, cleanliness & noise.
  62. Need a spot to de-stress? Your Suffolk ID gets you into the Museum of Fine Arts for free.
  63. Tired of eating junk in your dorm? By the Haymarket T stop, there is a Farmer’s Market every weekend!
  64. If you have a work-study, USE IT. It’s steady income, flexible hours, and you can do homework during!
  65. I’ve asked a bunch of people what they wish they knew before they came to college..#1 answer? BUDGETING.
  66. Be aware, alcohol DOES have calories. Be wary, but never EVER drink on an empty stomach!
  67. Learn how to do laundry BEFORE you leave home. Also, detergent is costly in the city. Plan ahead.
  68. Time management skills. Just know ahead of time what you need to accomplish and by when…you’ll be fine!
  69. Dating in college – Don’t seek it out. Just be yourself and make friends. It will come on its own.
  70. If you haven’t packed yet, start now, or you’ll forget something. When packing – less is more.
  71. Moving out, though exciting, can be surprisingly sad. Spend a little time with your family before you go
  72. Coffee and Red Bull are not replacements for real, actual sleep. Sleep, for real. Just do it.
  73. Treat college like a job.
  74. Keep up in class. Do the readings. Study the material. Do it all on or ahead of time.
  75. Our final tip! Don’t take anything too seriously. Be safe. Be open minded. Leave comfort. Stay awesome.

Extra Tips:

  • Buy your textbooks before your first classes, USED, from online dealers…Cheaper, and fully prepared!
  • You can find out which books you need for classes from the Suffolk Bookstore website – but shop around for prices!
  • Don’t forget to keep up with our account during the school year…We often have easy-to-win contests with prizes…
  • Freshmen getting ready for the dorms – Reslife has sent out an AWESOME list of what to and not to pack! http://www.suffolk.edu/documents/LivingAtSuffolk/guideforwhattobring.pdf
  • Learn how the MBTA works! On your way to Fenway it’s good to know all but ONE green line train will take you there.
  • When packing, bring EXTRA hangers. If you’re like me, you’ll accumulate more clothes during the year. #suffolk17

INTERVIEW: Sean Egan

Posted on August 21, 2013 by Corinne DeCost

INSTARAM: What is your major/year?
SEAN EGAN: I’m Sean, and I’m a Sophomore Political Science major with a minor in Philosophy.Sean Egan

What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
EGAN: I’m the musical director for Rhythm, Suffolk’s Contemporary Music Ensemble, as well as the bassist for the school’s Jazz Ensemble. Off Campus, I play in a local band called The Band of Extraordinary Gentlemen (yeah, you can like us on Facebook. No really, go ahead if you haven’t already. I’ll wait
 Got it? Good!), and I volunteer regularly with HOBY, a youth organization that cultivates and develops leadership potential in high school students.

How did you find your way around campus? What advice do you have for the incoming freshmen?
EGAN: I know finding my way around campus was a little confusing during my first semester here, and I’m from Boston. Naturally, you shouldn’t feel bad if you find yourself, say, walking into the same English class three times in an increasingly embarrassing attempt to find your Math 130 class. It happens to everybody. Or so I tell myself.

Something I discovered early on in the semester that proved to be exceptionally useful was the “Suffolk” app, which I believe is still available on the app store. It has everything from a campus map, a directory, and your course schedule. I know it spared me a lot of time and frustration.

What has been your greatest accomplishment at Suffolk?
EGAN: My greatest accomplishment is most definitely, without a doubt, competing in InstaRam SU’s “InstaTriva” competition earlier this spring. Personal accounts regarding the “results” of the contest may differ, but pretty much anyone will tell you that I was pretty on top of my trivia game for the duration of March. While a few erroneous answers here and there prevented me from technically winning, I will say that I comfortably secured the “Consolation Prize,” beating out Sam “The Bruiser” Zeiberg for the distinction.

Editor’s Note: This particular trivia contest involved a prize to the person who received the most points for correctly answering the question first. Sean repeatedly responded seconds after the correct answer, or quickly with a sadly incorrect answer. By the end of the week-long contest, we messed with Sean by posting questions such as “What is Sean Egan’s room number?”, which people would STILL beat him to. Sean ended the contest in 2nd to last place, despite having participated more than almost anyone else.

Tell us – what is your favorite story to tell at parties/social gatherings?
EGAN:While I would love to recount some of my favorite escapades that so frequently garnish the pleasant conversation typical of my afternoon tea sessions, there are a select few that are, perhaps, not completely appropriate for all of InstaRam’s readership. Namely, my parents.

This particular story is actually one a friend told me, but I love it too much to not tell you all about it. For the sake of convenience, it will be told from a 1st person perspective:

So, my friends and I are riding around in a limo following our Junior prom, cruising the streets of Boston, talking about our AP exams and trying to find pizza. Such is the life of gangsters.

Anyway, we find a pizza place that’s open, get our food, and are on our way. Or we would have been, had I not a mighty need for the restroom. But alack, my bladder had other plans, and I found myself back inside the pizza shop, waiting in line for the bathroom.

It was at this point when a large gentleman found his way up to the counter and began to place his order. As he’s placing his order, an equally large gentleman, seemingly unrelated to the first, finds his way to the counter and stands next to the first. The newcomer looks to the man to his left, and propositions: “Yo dawg, lemme get dat Parmesan cheese.” The first gentleman turns to the second and rebuts: “Forreal man? That’s maaaaaaaad disrespectful.”

From here, these two gentlemen presumably began to heatedly debate the ethics of Pizza Shop etiquette in what I assume was another language before taking the discussion to the street and engaging in fisticuffs. What was even more interesting was that there wasn’t actually any Parmesan cheese in sight. For all I knew, there wasn’t even any on the premises.

But so help me if that Parmesan wasn’t like the Holy Grail to these two individuals. Also I never got to go to the bathroom. The end.

And, ladies and gents, Sean Egan concludes our InstaRam interviews for the #summerofsuffolk! Come back next week for a special countdown for the incoming Freshmen!

INTERVIEW: Marissa Kennedy

Posted on August 14, 2013 by Corinne DeCost

INSTARAM: What is your major/year?
MARISSA KENNEDY: Advertising and Graphic Design, Senior

What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
KENNEDY: On campus I’m the group manager and vocalist for Rhythm, Suffolk’s Contemporary Music Ensamble; and member/in charge of PR/Advertising for Sketchual Misconduct. Off campus I work as a graphic designer for Channel 7 News; and always love using my free time to practice music and design things for groups on campus.

How did you find your way around campus? What advice do you have for the incoming freshmen?
KENNEDY: I learned how to get around campus by walking around. A lot. I’ve never lived in the dorms, so I had to learn to navigate the streets and subway pretty quickly. People are also pretty helpful and nice about asking for directions (and if you’re already in the Suffolk area, there’s a good chance who you ask is a college student themselves). I would advise incoming freshmen to get out of their comfort zones. Meet new people, join groups, do things that are totally different from what you’ve done before. You may not have another chance like this to do so. Getting involved on campus has been a great way for me to feel like a part of this university, and has resulted in meeting some of the best friends I could’ve asked for!

Marissa Kennedy

What has been your greatest accomplishment at Suffolk?
KENNEDY: My greatest accomplishment is a tie between getting to perform in the comedy troupe (Sketchual Misconduct) on stage at a REAL comedy club – which is SO unlike anything I EVER thought I would do. Also, being nominated for Junior of the Year by my peers for the SGA awards. Being a risk taker has resulted in me getting some pretty great experiences, these being my two favorite so far at Suffolk. The SGA awards were especially cool because I put so much energy and time into the groups I am a part of. I also always make it a point to be friendly, nice, social, and try to be the person to make you feel better when you’re stressed or down…and this goes not only for my friends but all my peers at Suffolk. It was great to know that all these don’t go unnoticed!

What are you ashamed to admit you enjoy?
KENNEDY: I’m not going to say exactly how many, but I’ve willingly watched Justin Bieber’s documentary that’s on Netflix more than once…

INTERVIEW: Stephie Kay

Posted on August 7, 2013 by Corinne DeCost

INSTARAM: What is your major/year?
STEPHIE KAY: Psychology Major, Junior

What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
KAY: I’m always at Improv Asylum, performing with Seriously Bent, working at Second-Language Services and as a Research Assistant in Psychology Department. I can also be found running or eating all of the foods in Boston.

Stephie Kay

How did you find your way around campus? What advice do you have for the incoming freshmen?
KAY: I found my way around campus by taking myself on a walking tour, asking my Orientation Leader and other people around campus. Most people are very

friendly and willing to help. I would advise incoming freshmen to get involved as early as possible on and off campus, your time in the city will fly by and it’s important to take advantage of as many opportunities as you can. Also, stay busy. Boston has too much to offer to sit inside and Netflix.

What has been your greatest accomplishment at Suffolk?
KAY: My greatest accomplishment at Suffolk is going to Chicago with Seriously Bent for the National Improv Tournament and placing 4th overall. I am very proud of that.

Random Question: What is the worst outfit you’ve ever worn in public?
KAY: The worst (and best) outfit I have ever worn in public was when I dressed up as a loofah for last years Halloween. It was awesome and insane all at the same time.

INTERVIEW: Devin Scott

Posted on July 31, 2013 by Corinne DeCost
868_10152394434880445_1428217415_n

Devin Scott on vacation in Paris during her semester abroad!

INSTARAM: What is your major/year?
DEVIN SCOTT: Theatre, Senior – Class of 2014

What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
SCOTT: What activities are you involved in on and off campus?
I am a member and the Events Coordinator for Rampage! Show Choir. I am also an active member in the Theatre Department and the Performing Arts Office. I work in Resident Life and Housing.

How did you find your way around campus? What advice do you have for the incoming freshmen?
SCOTT: The first week I was at Suffolk, I auditioned for Fall Fest and that is where I met some of my best friends at Suffolk. I was really blessed to work with such a great group!
My advice would be to get involved. Being a commuter school, it’s easy to get lost in the shuffle and having groups of people with similar interests to rely on helps the transition into college go smoothly.

Also for Freshman: Study Abroad! My time in London was the best time of my life!

What has been your greatest accomplishment at Suffolk?
SCOTT: Being able to combine my studies and my love of acting and singing for the last three years.

Random Question: What 3 things do you think of the most during your typical day?
1. The Future/ My Future – with excitement and trepidation
2. London and traveling back to Europe
3. Decorating my room in my new apartment in the fall!
