Coming from Southern California

I feel as if I’ve found a little slice

of SoCal here at Texas State. e

name is Ryan Winston Elliott, and

I can’t get enough of the grandeur

San Marcos has to oer. I’m really

stoked on meeting as many peopleas I can, so that when things are going down, I can have all

my friends there with me. I also like skating, hiking, concert

hopping, and getting my rage on. Starting my 3rd year in

college, I’ve realized that the college experience is going to

zoom past us as soon as it arrived. My philosophy is to neve

let an opportunity to have a good time pass you up, you’ll

regret missing the action once it’s long gone. So for now, I’m

going to make as much of the experience as I can!

asmine, I need help with a

alloween costume idea!

What ideas do you have?

Vanessa Jones

Halloween costumes can beust as stressful as nals. Skiphe cliche looks, (you know what I’m talking about... the

Playboy bunny, the cheetah,he superwoman) and go foromething creative. I’ve made

my costumes every year, and they ave successful, especially groupostumes! Although peopleay “it’s too soon!” for certainostumes, don’t listen. It’s neveroo soon to start partying andetting creative.

Jennifer,how slutty is TOO

slutty for a Halloween costume?

-Jessica Berke

ough Halloween is a time tolet loose (please don’t take thatterm too literally), there is stilla way to be sexy and NOT overthe top slutty. A little cleavagethere and a little leg there is all

you need. Remember, guys like tohave room for imagination.

Online Editor

Laura, what do I do to

celebrate Halloween?

-Dawson Craig

Well, it is safe to say thatthrowing on your costumeand hitting the streets forsome trick-or-treating is outof the question. Personally, I

always spend my Halloween weekends at the clubs. Even if you aren’t 21, you can alwaysnd a party on the streets withtheamountof people that comeout dressed for theoccasion. If

you are of age, what is a better way to spend Halloween thenin a club watching guys dressedas smurfs break dance?

their Indie essence that made them so unique in the frst place. Minus the Bear is an

indie rock group which ormed in Seattle, Washington, in 2001 and have released our

BARTENDERHOTwords: ryan elliott pictures: mark fallis

Texas Music Theatre

120 E. San Antonio St

San Marcos Texas

Q: What’s the most lthy/disgusting thing you’ve

ever seen while working the bar?

Without a doubt the most disgusting thing I haveseen was watching someone spit on the oor. is has

happened a handful of times in front of me at TMT, and I cannot fathom one’s motives for doing it.

It’s not a barnyard, folks! Show some decency!

Q: If someone were to talk to you in a foreign

language from across the bar, what whould

you want it to be?

Most foreign accents are appealing to me, but if it were in a foreign language, I suppose it wouldn’tmatter what they were saying. I’ve always thought

Italian was very sexy.

Q: If a customer was being rude and

obnoxious, what would you do?

Most of the time, I am rude or obnoxious right back -to an extent. It’s my job to be friendly to everyone,but there’s no reason for me to have to put up with thatkind of nonsense. Plus, it’s not a good idea to piss o

your bartender-they are the ones making your drinks.

Q: Got any nicknames?

“Short-stack” I’m only 5 feet tall, and the fellow bartenders make fun of me, especially when I haveto reach top shelf liquors. It’s quite the stretch.

MUSICIANHOT

While getting accustomed tohis new home in San Marcos,Nick Valenzuela likes to spendhis time working on what heloves most- and it shows. Start-ing his second year at Texas Statethis all, Nick has already made aname or himsel at local venuesas a solo artist who is taking hismusic in a new direction. “I’vebeen experiencing a lot o new

things lately, and I’m trying todraw rom those new situationsrather then my old ones that

were ull o heartbreak”. Nick isa young, up-and-coming artist

worth taking notice o. Don’t besurprised i you see him bikingthrough the streets o San Mar-cos with a guitar strapped to hisback of to gather inspiration orhis music.

Which bands would you

compare your sound to?

I think a lot o my sound comesrom the many hours o Arc-tic Monkeys, Wilco and eBlack Keys that I listened to

while learning the guitar a coupleo years ago. I guess I’m leaningmore towards a Wilco-Black Keys usion these days though.

Do you enjoy solo work or

collaborations more?

I love songwriting and com-posing music on my own, but I

would love to start a band or just work with some other musiciansand really get into collaborativemusic making. When there’smore than one person workingon the music I eel like there’smore room to move aroundand mix things up, whereas on

my own everything is kind o set in stone once that nal dratis done.

Where do you gain your

inspirations for songs?

Well my songwriting used to beprimarily inspired by whichevergirl was on my mind at the time.Recently lie has been throwinga lot o things at me that I’ve

had to deal with, and am stilldealing with, so now I writeabout that instead.

What is the best part

about playing live sets?

ere’s denitely an adrenalinerush you get when you sing thatrst note into the microphoneand then (hopeully) the ap-plause ater each song. I also justlove getting to show people what

I’ve been working on. When write a new song, it always egood to get it out there as sooas I can.

Which bands did you

listen to growing up?

I listened to a lot o oldies aschild. Usually whatever my paents were listening to in the ca

en I moved on to more alte

native rock and indie music.

Where do you see your

music taking you in the

next year or so?

is summer I think I migbe doing some recording withbuddy o mine. Next year is ging to be devoted writing and rcording more so than live showI think.

As teenagers, girls worry about theirhair, friends, theright clothes or

the attention of a crush. It’sthe time when girls are be-ginning to form their iden-tity, a time that should be freeof the stresses of adult life.De’Andreia Joseph’s teenageexperience, was a far cry fromtypical. When she discovered alump in her breast at the ageof 15, De’Andreia was thrownhead rst into a rapidly shift-ing future.

“When I was growing up, my mother always recommendedthat I do self-breast exams be-cause it was something I need-ed to practice at a young age,”De’Andreia said. She didn’tanticipate that one of the rsttimes she would do this, she would detect a problem. When

she discovered leakage dur-ing her examination, she knew instantly she had to see a doc-tor. A series of ultrasounds andmammograms revealed she hada “lump ectemy” that, after fur-ther testing, came back benign,or a tumor that doesn’t recuror spread to other parts of thebody. For now De’Andreia wasfree of any serious health risks,although she was advised tokeep doing her private exams.

The Diagnosis

Following doctor’s orders,De’Andreia continued her self exams diligently and at theage of 16 ran into yet anotherproblem.“I felt two lumps thesize of peas in my breasts, andI knew I had to go back to thedoctor.” Just like the rst time,one of the lumps returned asbenign, but the second lump

came back as malignant, ora tumor that could poten-tially spread to other parts of the body.

At 17, she was diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma InSitu (DCIS), which is a non-invasive form of breast can-cer. “When I was diagnosed I was told I could live up to ve years without it becoming invasive, but I wanted it treatedregardless.” Her next visit in-cluded a more complex seriesof tests. Mammograms, MRIsand ultrasounds helped doc-tors better understand the na-ture of De’Andreia’s case. As ahigh school student she didn’t want to undergo chemothera-py - a process that could po-tentially rid her of cancer but would have drastic eects onher body and taken time away from school. “e doctors

wanted me to wait it out andthink it over before I made my decision, but I knew instantly I wanted to have surgery; there was no other option in my eyes. When I initially foundout about the fact it was seri-ous enough I had to have somekind of critical treatment I wasshocked but I didn’t want sym-pathy from anybody. I knew I was going to be okay, and God was going to take care of me.”

De’Andreia put on a braveface for concerned family andfriends, keeping a positive atti-tude and trying to focus on thepresent. “I felt that dwelling onthe issue wasn’t going to cor-rect it or make it disappear, soinstead I wanted to face it headon and get to the next courseof action. I knew I didn’t wantto live with this disease.”

HOW I SURVIVEDDe’Andreia Joseph

Shares Her Personal Story Of

Life With Breast Cancer

words: desiree johnson photos: jeff ramirez

I just opted to

have my double

mastectomy.




BREAST CANCERI Will Survive

Now 19, De’Andreia is a breastcancer survivor. She is currently a kinesiology and nursing stu-

dent and is enjoying college life.Due to her diagnosis at such a young age, she is required togo back for check-ups every sixmonths. Her case still ba esdoctors because her family hadno genetic history of the ill-ness prior to her sickness, whichat a young age is abnormal.

De’Andreia doesn’t regret hav-ing the surgery that helped saveher life, and instead she focuseson transitioning into collegecancer free.

e most inspirational mo-ment she has had since her di-agnosis was being surroundedby survivors, family, friends andsupporters at her rst SusanG. Komen walk for breast can-cer. Seeing people of all agesand backgrounds that shared

her experience allowed her trelate and connect. It’s broughher comfort.

As an aspiring nursDe’Andreia seeks to promotbreast exams for early detectioof breast cancer.“e best possible advice I can give to anyon who may ever encounter th whether it be at my age or oldeis to be optimistic. A pessimistiattitude won’t help. Know tha you have a bright future ahead.

De’Andreia Joseph, 19

Hometown: Reserve, Louisiana

Major: Health/Nursing

With the type of breast

cancer I had, I didn’t have

to undergo any type of

chemotherapy or radiation

because it wasn’t invasive. I

just opted to have my dou-

ble mastectomy.

My Support System

Throughout my whole

experience with cancer

my biggest support sys-

tem was my mom and

dad. They were there be-

fore I was diagnosed and

when I was diagnosed

they supported me with

all of my decisions I made

regardless if they approved

of them or not. Of course

the rest of my family was

a big support too; both

of my grandmothers came

down from Louisiana to

take care of me when

my parents had to go back

to work.

My friends who knew

about my sickness would

constantly call to check on

me, some even came to

see me and bring me gifts.

Family friends also called

to check up on me and

made short visits. Some ofmy high school teachers

who knew called and text-

ed. When I arrived back

at school, they had even

organized a basket of all

things pink for breast can-

cer and gave it to me as a

welcome back gift. To this

day, the teachers I kept in

contact with always check

up on me, so I guess you

could say I had a broad sup-

port system, not only from

my family but also every-

one who was around me or

knew me. I really appreci-

ate it because even though

I kept a positive outlook on

the whole situation having

so many people who cared

and were concerned was

like a breath of fresh air and

it also kept my spirits up.

Advice For Students

The advice I would give to

young women my age is

to always do self breast ex-

aminations and if you don’t

know what it is to find out

and start doing them. If it

wasn’t for my mom telling

me to do them I wouldn’t

have found out I had can-

cer and who knows where

I would be today. To the

ones who know peoplewho are going through

cancer or have had cancer,

the biggest thing you can

do is keep a positive at-

titude about the situation

because the last thing we

want are the people around

us to be overly sympathetic

with us.

IN HER WORDS

STUDYBREAKS.COM | OCTOBER 201



In The Pink

Each October there areambiguous and pro-

vocative Facebook sta-tuses. ere are “Save

the Boobies” shirts and bracelets. ere is pink – everywhere. Oc-tober is breast cancer awareness

month, but in the midst of thesebright and sometimes shockingreminders, we still manage toforget what this means.

One in eight women willdevelop breast cancer in theirlifetime. is illness claims thelives of almost 40,000 womenannually. Although accountingfor only 1 percent of all newly di-agnosed cases, nearly 2,000 men

were diagnosed in 2010. esenumbers only scratch the surfaceof those aected by the disease,discounting the families, friendsand loved ones of each victimthat suer alongside these wom-en and men, nor do they includethe thousands that have already fought to beat this disease – andthe ones that did not.

But ask a breast cancer pa-tient or survivor about their ex-periences and you will rarely heara response of a person looking for

sympathy. e resilience shownthrough these struggles, the un-sung heroes that have the graceand strength to simply carry ona daily routine while battlingthis disease exemplify strengthand power. ey are our mothers,our teachers, our coworkers, ourfriends, and they are ghters.It was 12 years ago that I lost my mother to breast cancer. When

diagnosed, she was given sixmonths to live, but, always up tothe challenge, she fought throughseven years of treatments, includ-ing four rounds chemotherapy.Maybe the most remarkablething was her refusal to let it af-

fect her daily life. Growing upI was surrounded by her fellow patients and survivors that shemet with on a weekly basis andnever once did it occur to methat these men and women qui-etly dealt with unimaginable andalmost constant pain – whetheremotional or physical. And my mother’s story is not unique. Ihave never met a patient thatshowed anything but perfectpoise and grace, or heard a story from someone in remission thatdetailed their pain.

Breast cancer awareness monthis not designed to draw attentionto your own sexuality or the factthat your Facebook status indi-cates you could be pregnant. So

while the inevitable shock cam-paigns designed to call attentionto the issue at hand are going onthis October, be sure to remem-ber the roots of what this disease

is and why we are taking the timeto reect on it. Use this monthto celebrate the lives of those

who are currently battling breastcancer and of those who have al-ready defeated it. Use this monthto remember those that have losttheir lives. Most importantly, usethis month to help in the ghtagainst breast cancer.

Study Breaks gives advice on

protecting yourself from breastcancer, giving to the cause and

staying “in the pink”.

Did you know?

It is a common misconception that breast cancer only

occurs in older women. It affects young women and

men, too. Although breast cancer in young people

occurs less frequently, it is usually diagnosed much

later and the strain is generally much more aggressive.

Here are the facts:

Evidence shows that breast cancer

before the age of 40 differs biologicall

from the cases faced by older women

African-American women

under the age of 35 have tw

times as many occurrences o

breast cancer than Caucasia

women under 35.

Women ages15 to 54 die more

frequently from breast

cancer than any other

type of cancer.

Survival rates of women

younger than 45 are up tofive percent less than any

other age group.

Every 14 minutes someone lose

their life due to breast cancer.

How To Get Involved

Sometimes it’s hard to know exactly how to get involved with

breast cancer awareness. College students especially can get

tied down with other obligations and feel helpless against the

cause. However there are many different ways to get involved

with various ranges of time and monetary commitments.

Race for the Cure

The annual Susan G. Komen

Race for the Cure holds races

in most major cities across

the country. Whether you’re

a seasoned runner or would

rather walk with your friends,

this is a fun, interactive way

to support the fight against

breast cancer. The donations

are as little as 35 dollars and

if you have more time to com-

mit you can join teams or raise

sponsor money. Can’t make

the Susan G. Komen race?

Watch out for the Avon Walk

for Breast Cancer in your area.

Take it to the web

Twitter, Facebook, email,

whatever your poison (we

know you aren’t actually tak-

ing notes in class), are easy

ways to promote awareness

of breast cancer during the

month of October. Many cor-

porations will offer to donate

for “likes” on their Facebook

page, or pledge a certain

amount of money based on

retweets on Twitter. Be on

the lookout for these kind

of promotions.

POREOTICS

Study Breaks’ own Jennifer Yu, sat down with the

Poreotics for an exclusive interview and dance lesson.




To say that Poreotics is onre is an understatement.It has been a year sincethey were crowned

he champions of America’s Best

Dance Crew and ever since taking

he coveted title, life has turnedupside down for these six dancingmasterminds. From globetrottingaround every major internationalcity to dancing in Justin Bieber’sSomebody To Love” music video,

Poreotics has taken a passion of heirs into the dream career.

Before ABDC

ough Matt “Dumbo” Nguyen,Can Nguyen, and Charles Nguyenoriginally formed Poreotics back inDecember 2007, the six membersfeatured on America’s Best DanceCrew never actually performedall together until auditions for thehow. Shortly after the original three

members collaborated, Justin “Jet Li”Valles and Lawrence “Law” Deverajoined the crew. In 2009, Chad

Mataye substituted Jet Li in the 2009Hip-Hop Dance Championships.After taking rst place, Chad wasasked to permanently join Poreotics.

Dance has always been a part of every member’s life before thecreation of Poreotics. ey havedone everything from explosiveperformances on America’s Got Talent

o humble beginnings with crewsike PAC Modern Dance Troupen California where much of theiralent came from. It wasn’t until afterhey took home the winning title athe Hip Hop Dance Championshipshat they decided a future in dancing

looked promising. Enter America’s

Best Dance Crew.

On The Way To The Top

Poreotics was awarded a standingovation was awarded after their initial

audition for America’s Best Dance Crew and, sure enough, they landeda spot in the fth season series. It’sclear as to why they quickly becamefans’ favorites. With the shades,popping with precision, and comical

yet intricate choreography, Poreotics was everything viewers wanted ina dance crew and went hard fromepisode to episode. Experts inpopping and tutting, Poreotics wereknown as dancing robots with amischievous side in every routine.

They Like Chicken, Not Beef

To become America’s Best DanceCrew was no easy feat. Becausethis was their rst time performingtogether with these six members,they had to quickly adapt toeverybody’s habits–annoying ornot. Being on the show was whenthey got the closest and learned themost from each other. For the threemonths of taping, Poreotics shacked

up in a hotel with eight other crewsand were constantly around oneanother despite the competitionbetween crews. One would think there would be beef between crewsas they all have their eyes on theprize, but it turned out that seasonve was one of the friendliestseasons, competition-wise. “See, wedon’t like beef. We like chicken,”Charles joked.

Q: How do you like living on your own?It’s wonderful! You can come and go

as you please, and you never have to worry about your apartment beingclosed during the holidays, unlike thedorms.

Q: What is one item in your room

that best describes you?Oh God, that’s a tough one. Prob-ably my movie posters. I lovelm (actually, it’s more of an ob-session). Whenever I’m havinga bad day, I will lock myself in my room and just watch movies. Tere’s

just something about the vision putinto a movie that’s so inspirational, andthe posters represent that.

Q: What is one thing you wouldn’t live

without in your apartment?Probably my books. I have too many to count. More specically my Harry Potter books. I could read those all day,everyday, which goes to show how bigof a nerd I actually am.

Q: What was your inspiration or

decorating your room?

I really wanted a neutral look toroom so that whenever I’m inmood for redecorating, I won’t to go crazy and buy new furnand paint my walls again. I couldswitch up some stu, buy a few dads, and give it a whole new

without really changing anything

Q: What advice would you give to

someone shopping or apartments

or the frst time?Remember that it’s not a dorm r

Tis is your room. Don’t let antake the reigns on the details. Do

will make you comfortable and peace in your own sanctuary.

Q: How do you like living with roommI love it! My roommates are ba

We all have similar interests.right now, all three of us are reathe same book (literally, there’s dierent bookmarks in one book)

Q: When setting boundaries, what w

some you discussed with your roommIt was just the basics, really. Dosmoke or drink, how often do yoout, what’s your major, etc. Notoo outrageous.

Q: How did you lose the dorm look?I painted my walls. It helps get rid ocrazy white walls that look like an iasylum with the orescent lights idorms. I only lived in a dorm for onebut I still remember how crazy it loo

TOP 5 REASONS YOU

SHOULD DRINK:

PURPLE STUFF

RELAXATION DRINK

WHAT SHOULD YOU BE FOR HALLOWEEN

1. It’s Halloween and you need to relax before going out

in your I’m-not-trying-to-look-like-a-slut outfit.

2. It relaxes your body, and focuses your mind... in bed.

3. Midterms are around the corner and anxiety is kicking in.

4. The taste of Purple Stuff is superliminal.

5. Low in calories (so it won’t mess up your curves!).

Remember, stay Purple.

www.mypurplestuff.com

AriesNeed a group idea? Try Angry Birds. You can

have pigs, wood planks and birds!

TaurusOsama. (Okay, so it was news to dress up

years ago, but who said rising from the dead

wasn’t possible?)

Gemini A box of Swisher sweets.

Cancer Looking for something cheap? Tie a string to

your leg. Instant Balloon.

LeoMen in uniform are sexy.

VirgoLook sexy and chic and dress up as Black

Swan. Best friend, included.

Libra Be anything but the overdone Playboy Bunny

They’re all sluts. And you are too, but let’s kethat on the DL, please?

Scorpio Lady Gaga was so last year. Try her alter-ego

Jo Calderone.

SagittariusIt’s not too-soon anymore to be Michael

Jackson.

CapricornNeed a boyfriend/girlfriend costume? Try the

Wii controllers.

PiscesThat annoying voice haunts to every other

commercial. “Hi, I’m Flo. We’ve got you

covered.” Insured or not, Progressive is a

better choice than the gecko from Gieco.

Aquarius Gained the freshman 15? (er... 25?) Your best

bet is a sumo wrestler.
