Post Graduation: The Job Search, The Bounty Hunter, and a Dream
By Eden Carswell, Class of 2011
Remember when you were a kid, and you dreamed of being an astronaut, or a firefighter, or a hand model? I had those dreams, too—Eden Carswell the telemarketer, Eden Carswell the singer/songwriter, Eden Carswell the bounty hunter. I never thought for a second that a pre-graduation misstep could eventually lead me to Eden Carswell, “permanently attached to the couch,” Eden Carswell the 30-year-old bum, or Eden Carswell, broke-as-a-joke.

Dance Club: The Good, The Bad… No, Just the Ugly
By Eden Carswell, Class of 2011
Everyone knows that Dance Show is one of the most popular events on campus. Every semester Dance Show draws in hundreds of attendees, all expecting an exhibition of student-choreographed work that displays an artistic side of the SMCM student body that’s not often seen in the classrooms and lecture halls. Dance Show is generally good for the campus, but internally it looks like a mix between a bad Tyler Perry film and a three-ring circus.

By Eden Carswell, Class of 2011
A few weeks ago, a “Boycott Chick-fil-A at the Daily Grind” event page was posted on Facebook to make students aware of Chick-fil-A’s funding of anti-gay marriage causes and groups, and to gain support for equality on this campus.

Your Parents Were Right… About Hip Hop
By Eden Carswell, Class of 2011
Remember when you were in middle school, and your mom walked into your bedroom to find you dancing to “What’s Your Fantasy” (a raunchy Ludacris song), flailing your arms around like you were directing air traffic? Remember the horrified expression on her face as she set your CD on fire and forbade you from ever listening to rap music again?

Dating at SMCM: As Much Fun as the MVA
By Eden Carswell, Class of 2011
SMCM is known for its rigorous academic programs, scenic campus, and eclectic, friendly student body. Come for the academics? The friendly people? The scenery? Yes. Come looking for love? I wouldn‘t.
