Class elections were held this week. The rules state that campaigning starts one week before the polls open, and the campaigning must end at 11:59pm the night before. I swear, every election in Florida has an issue. It started with...

A word of advice for those of you who seek class office in the fall: WAIT UNTIL THE FALL. Don’t start campaigning now. It gets everyone riled up all summer (we had all of the 360 website divided between the three candidates) and it breaks most of the election rules. Make friends, not political enemies. Use the website to your advantage by telling people why you do what you do, and those friends that you make will more likely than not support you this fall. If anyone would like to know more about the rules, shoot me an email. ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/slu/CollinGood//493.10250 2009-03-15T19:00:39Z 2009-05-05T19:07:17Z

So this week was Greek Week, a week- long series of events to see who is the best Greek organization on campus. The first events included an obstacle course, where SAE’s fell into the pool at the end. True, they...

I love Greek life. I went home recently, and my non-Greek friends asked what the appeal was. It’s a lifestyle more than anything else. I’ve found that it can’t be put into any other terms. It’s a lifestyle that hundreds of thousands have chosen to live before us, and there seems to be no end in sight. I tell my friends that it’s all about what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for Animal House, they are around. But most aren’t that way anymore. So don’t think that it’s all about drinking and craziness, because it’s not. I swear it’s not. ]]> tag:blogs.targetx.com,2009:/slu/CollinGood//493.10249 2009-02-15T18:58:13Z 2009-05-05T19:08:04Z

It’s the middle of February, and I’m doing another Honors journal. I’m staying up all night getting these things done, and it’s not worth it. I wrote about this before, but I mean it – DON’T PULL AN ALL NIGHTER....

Saint Leo University I just got back to Saint Leo from winter break, and I’m looking forward to this semester. I had a full month off, and I couldn’t wait to get back. Most of my friends at home are swimmers, and many went on training trips to Florida (I live in Connecticut) to train. I was stuck at home without them, and I’m glad to be back here. The spring semester is shorter than the fall, and it’s going to go by so fast. I can’t believe I’m halfway done with my first year already! I’m taking some great classes this spring. The Christian Vision is HON 151, an honors course. It’s going to be great. I’m not a religious fanatic, but the style of class is the same as my first honors course, and I can’t wait. I’m also taking FAS 101, an intro to the arts class. It’s not hands on, but it’s a great course, an overview of all of the different arts. There are great classes offered here. It almost reminds me of the movie Accepted, where they have classes that explore more than just a textbook. That’s what we do here, we take things to the next level. It’s definitely a great experience. I’m also taking part in fighting for more scholarships for you and I. The FRAG initiative, or the Florida Residents Assistance Grant, is a scholarship that Saint Leo will match for non-residents. It has helped many students attend college, and we hope that it will continue to do so. I’m planning on taking a trip to Tallahassee with other students to fight for it. This month, I’m also going to Indianapolis for an IFC Conference. As a freshman, I have experienced more here than I thought I would. This place is great. I get to go represent my Fraternity in a national setting for fraternities, and the school is sending me at no cost. The opportunities are endless here. Really consider coming if this is what you’re looking for. tag:blogs.targetx.com,2008:/slu/CollinGood//493.9162 2008-12-01T21:10:00Z 2009-02-17T21:24:28Z

Airport security is a great thing. It really is. Air travel has never been safer .But Tampa Airport’s security is one of the best I’ve seen. They get you in and out of the lines in less than ten minutes....

In high school, I used the library maybe once a week. Here at Leo, I’m in there at least once a day. The Library has become an invaluable resource, whether it’s just to get away from a roommate, or if...

Being in the Honors Program at Saint Leo is great – most of the time. Today was Community Service Day, and I went to the Florida National Cemetery and stained a bridge. It was fun, but not exactly my idea...

Hello everyone! I’m Collin Good, and I’m a freshman here at Saint Leo University. I live in Connecticut, so SLU was definitely an exciting change for me. Saint Leo was one of 13 schools I applied to last fall, and...
