Literally Speaking: My Summer Reading List
(08/28/13 4:00am)
This past summer I experienced a transition in my reading preferences that was actually quite significant but went unrecognized. In high school I got used to reading "classics" and more worldly books, like "Cry," "The Beloved Country" and "The Grapes of Wrath." So for the last few years, most of my favorites have been Steinbeck novels like East of Eden and the entirety of Shakespeare's repertoire. Retrospectively this was one of those classic "I like these books... but I also like that they make me look smart too" situations. Come on, tell me I'm not the only one who's felt like that before.

Beyond the Border: The Little Sri Lankan Girl
(08/26/13 3:00am)
My Name is Tishni Weerasinghe. I am 20 years old and a 3rd year student at ASU.I am a Political Science major and I am interested in double majoring in Criminal Justice. If you can't tell already, I really want to use these two majors to become an attorney. Law School has been my goal ever since I was eight years old, I can’t wait to defend those who need justice…even if it is controversial at times. If you look at me walking around campus, I look like any other student: tired, sipping something cold and probably dying of the heat. But what you wouldn't know is that I wasn't born here, I actually just became an United States citizen just a few months ago. I spent the first four years of my life in a small little country called Sri Lanka. But just because I left doesn't mean that I could escape the reality of being South Asian.

Bon voyage, adios, and goodbye SPM readers. Between fashion weeks, lookbooks, DIY projects and street style photographs The Campus Closet has been quite the journey for the last nine months, but just as the old saying goes “everything good must to come to an end.” Like I said in my first post, fashion blogging has always been a passion of mine because it allows me to inspire and be inspired, so hopefully in the last two semesters I have done just that.

Tech Spec: Why I Love Technology
(04/30/13 12:39pm)
Back in August, I took over this technology blog for the State Press Magazine (which might be pretty obvious) and was ecstatic at the chance to let my creative juices flow in a field I love. Since then, I have worked with my amazing editors to produce posts that both held relevancy and interest to you, my readers. Since this is the last Tech Spec post of the school year, I wanted to go out the same way I started my blog: by sharing a personal story about technology.

Tech Spec: Uniting Social Media Through Path
(04/24/13 12:15am)
Many find some sort of use for social media. Some people use it to connect with friends, share news or even look at filtered photos of food. The issue for many (with myself included) is balancing usage on the growing list of popular social sites. Usually the social focus lands on one site over the others, so some accounts are left to collect dust. Some sites allow users to post to multiple media sites as well as their own, which can be a big draw. The new app, Path, looks to jump on this idea and unify social media.
