Mark Lombardi-Nelson

10/11/2011

Meet Campus Cutie, Mark Lombardi-Nelson. He plays the piano, the saxophone and the guitar in his free time and has been in ten theatrical shows. He juggles his hobbies while balancing school and his position as Student Government Vice President.

The Basics
Year: Sophomore
Major: College of Business. Majoring in Entrepreneurship and considering a double major in Finance
Hometown: Spring Hill, FL
Relationship status: Taken and loving it


USFSP
Activities/Clubs: The main extracurriculars I go to on a weekly basis are Student Government, Entrepreneurship Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Spectrum Mentee/Mentor Program. I have sadly had to cut down on the list I actively participate in, though I do make a conscious effort to try and go to as many club meetings as possible.

Favorite class: Creativity in Entrepreneurship is by far the best class I have ever taken in my entire life. It has truly changed my life as an individual in a positive aspect. I recommend it for EVERY person. Nathan Schwagler is an amazing teacher.

Best advice for freshmen: Meet one new person every day and follow up with them later that week! This will let you make connections and network! The opportunity on our campus is tremendous. There are multiple opportunities to meet new people who are business leaders and who will be future business leaders and all you have to do is start a conversation. So do it! I would like everyone to know if they ever need anything I will do my best to help in any way. Go Bulls!

Are you using Truvia yet?

9/23/2011

Looking to add a sprinkle of sugar to your tea? Try Truvia, which is a natural sweeter that contains zero-calories. It is a huge fan of the editors of Her Campus USFSP since it is not only healthy, it also tastes great! It is made with rebiana, taken from the stevia leaf.

Not only is Truvia a healthy alternative in your diet, it may also may used to cook and bake recipes in the USFSP Residence Hall and your teeny tiny apartment kitchen. If cooking is not your thing, sprinkle it on your morning cereal before you start your day. You can convienently find Truvia natural sweeter at our very own Barnes & Noble Starbucks cafe!

Add a little sweetness to your life with Truvia!

Arielle Stevenson

Name: Arielle Stevenson

Year: 4.5 year Senior

Major: Journalism and Media Studies, Minor in History (I know you didn't ask but I'm a showoff so...)

Organizations: I've been a fairly inactive USFSP student on campus. I did organize the on-campus Vagina Monologues benefit performance for C.A.S.A. for three years. I hope to start writing for our campus newspaper, the Crow's Nest in the fall.

Part-time job: Radio Disc-jockey on WMNF 88.5 FM, Mondays from 10-Midnight, Freelance writer for Creative Loafing, Freelancer for westchase.patch.com.

What's a typical day for you?: Today is Monday, so today always begin with a strong cup of black coffee, maybe two. Then, I work on stories from my little makeshift home office and start writing. I work in Westchase and Tampa so I try and get my interviews and meetings with editors out of the way early in the day. Class is the afternoon and evenings so I whip up some dinner and ride my bike to class. I usually get make fun of for wearing my helmet at least once on my way to school. I haveclass until 8ish. I ride home, jump into my 93' Toyota pickup and zip off to the radio station in North Tampa. For two hours, I either play music from the main studio or host bands in the live studio where I interview them between songs. I usually finish my day around 1 a.m. with a bowl of cereal and reruns of Chelsea Lately.

Best Dressed of the Royal Wedding

It's not everyday that we have the opportunity to see a Royal Wedding. The morning was spent with my mom in front of the TV for hours, watching every historic moment of the happy couple. Such an occasion calls for stylish attire and yesterday surely did not disappoint. Here are a few of my favorite looks of the day. Images from People and Glamour.
