Hmmm. So, here we are. Not so bad, right?
SPM being in the folds of the State Press may come as a surprise to many of you, but we’ll be here for the next couple of Wednesdays. While our pages are going through some sizing changes, the content isn’t. The same sections that you know and love will continue to be here… by the same talented, witty and brilliant writers (ah, my staff). We’re still our own magazine, just in a different location.
While we’ve always brought you the news on the latest trends, this issue is especially trendy in focus. This week, we’re exploring the frozen yogurt craze, the crazy shoe movement and whether students should be worrying about this bad-economy, no-new-jobs trend (yeah, OK, it’s not really a trend. But having less money is definitely the latest commonality between most people.
Mill Avenue seems to finally be getting itself together. For those of you who have been going to the Tempe campus for a couple of years now, it likely caught your attention that buildings are finally being finished and new places are finally opening. It’s surprising how many of those new places are focused on the new frozen yogurt trend. Nicole Ethier gives a good rundown of who is jumping on the delicious and cold bandwagon in Yogurt Yummies, pg 10.
Also, some people are wearing some pretty ridiculous things on their feet. Then again, some people are also wearing some really cute things on their feet. And some people are wearing umbrellas on their feet. See Rheyanne Weaver’s shoe trends on page 5.
Now, for those worrying that the near future in the current economic state will prevent them from affording trendy shoes and regular trips to Yogurtini, check out Michelle’s cover, After School Hunting, pg 8. There will still be jobs out there, but there are other things to worry about too. An unfortunate trend seems to be people graduating without understanding the ideas of benefits and 401Ks.
So, we’re staying trendy, keeping you trendy and letting you know when it’s time to end a trend. But being awesome is a trend that won’t pass here at SPM, even if we are found in the daily paper for a bit.
