Good night fellow Gamecocks and readers! Admittedly, I'm writing this one a bit late so one or two yawns may be had typing it up. Last week was a tough, but good week. Exams are in full swing over here at LSU. Personally, I have two exams and one project due this week alone. Thankfully I discovered that the student union building (and more importantly Chick-fil-A) is open until 11 pm on weekdays, which was a life saver tonight! Anyways, I want to tell you about the events of last week and weekend!
As per usual, the week did not see too much excitement (unless you count classes, homework and test as exciting). The long weekdays saw me attempting to stay on top of my assignments and reattempt my previous mission to find an internship. For those of you who do not know, as Media Arts major at the University of South Carolina, each student is required to complete an internship as a part of their degree. Unfortunately for me, Baton Rouge is not exactly a hub for media related internships. While there are media internships in Baton Rouge, they are far and few in between. This means that the limited number of positions makes for a pretty competitive field. If you are looking for a Media Arts internship, I would personally recommend keeping an eye on positions back home in Columbia.
The end of my school week saw me finally utilizing there perks of being 21 years old. I had my first (responsible) experiences in "Tiger Land." For people who are familiar with Columbia, Tiger Land is Louisiana State University's equivalent of Five Points. It's essentially a large amount of bars that are clumped together in one small area. Due to it being a bye week in LSU football, the bars were not as packed as they usually are (according to my local sources). None the less, they were still fun and provided just what you would expect from a bar. Fun fact, in Louisiana, you are able to enter some bars as young as nineteen (obviously you are unable to order). As such, you have bars like Fred's (upperclassman bars) that only allow 20+ year-olds and Mike's (underclassman bars) which allow 19+ year-olds. Like anywhere, always be safe in Tiger Land and never drink while driving. Ubers are available in surplus to take you home. Always remember to double check the cars credentials and ask, "what's my name?"
That's all for this time. Stay safe Gamecocks and have an excellent week.
