A recent post on the GCC Facebook page was pointed out to me, and frankly, I’m a little surprised at the slight ‘controversy’ surrounding it. What’s the story? Jump the cut for more. Continue reading

There are a variety of things going on at GCC for all students to get involved in!
Graduation Day
StandardToday is graduation day at GCC…. I chose not to walk in graduation just because I did not want to but it still is on my mind. Its a new step that a lot of my friends and I are about to take. It makes me sad that some of these people that i have grown to know over the last two years, i wont see them for a while. I wish GCC was a four year school just so we didn’t all have to leave each other. Almost like you built a second family away from your family and friends back home.
I will admit, I will miss everyone and even walking the halls of GCC.

End Of The Year Bash
StandardYesterday was GCC’s end of the year bash down at College Village for the residents. I had a lot of fun at it. I couldn’t go last spring semester because I was sick, so I did not know what to expect. They had so many activities for us to do. They had a zipline, inflatables, henna tattoos, sumo wrestling, free food, and a caricature. It is kind of sad to think that this is my last semester ever at GCC, but I know I will be back in the future to visit.
I am going to miss this school.

Spring Fest
StandardToday is Spring Fest at GCC. The lunch prices are pretty high usually but today the cafeteria hooks us up and offers us a full meal and dessert for only $1.00 ! It is during common hour. They did this last year, and they offer a pretty good selection in food from hotdogs, hamburgers, mac salad, Abbott’s Ice Cream, and more !!
Come out to the tent behind the forum and enjoy !

StandardThis years fashion show, Soiree was announced to be the largest fashion show in GCC History. Congrats to all of the fashion students who helped putting this on. I had fun being apart of it.

Totally Duct
StandardIf you attended the Fashion show this past weekend, you probably noticed a few pieces that were made from different kinds of tape. There were dresses made of duct tape, caution tape, and more. This fashion was created by Lisa Crapsi and I have been communicating with her for the past couple of days to learn a bit more about her work.
Me: “What made you start working with Duct tape?”
Lisa: “My full time job is a steamfitter/ welder in local 22. I enjoy out of the ordinary and while at work I got inspired by all the tapes everywhere and decided that the world should see dirty construction sites in a new light.”
Me: “Wow that’s great. What tape did you use first?”
Lisa: “My first dress was gray regular duct tape, I made it for prom. And then a couple years ago I started again but with duct tape and plastic sheeting, and it’s developed in to insulation tape, electrical, the colored duct tapes, caution and danger tape, with more plastic sheeting and some tarps, I’ve used tyvek suits I got from work too.”
Me: “Wow that sounds so creative. Do you have a favorite piece and if you do you have a pic of it for the blog?”
Lisa: “I like the long caution tape one, it’s on my page, it has the black top. I love them all but that one looks really cool walking down the runway.”
Me: “Is there a fashion designer that is your role model?”
Lisa: “I love Besty Johnson’s work. her style is very unique and she as a person is just out there and love it.”
If you did not attend the fashion show and see these amazingly creative works of art, here is a little preview. For more information, check out Lisa’s Facebook page TOTALLY DUCT.

Fashion Show
StandardThis years fashion show, Soiree, was a big hit. Being involved in it was definitely a different experience, but it was fun. I gained a lot of new friends do to it as well. In my opinion, my favorite scene had to be the boat scene by Michael Burton, only because the choreography at the beginning was pretty eye-catching. The sophomore fashion majors did a great job in putting this show together and making it work. I definitely will have to try and come back in the next upcoming years to the shows since this is my last semester here.

GCC Baseball
StandardLast night, I was just surfing the web, using Facebook and Twitter and I saw the GCC Athletics tweet about GCC Baseball. They said that Ruben Medina just threw a “no-hitter” in a 7-0 win over FLCC.
I don’t know if you guys understand, but a “no-hitter” is a pretty big deal. A no-hitter is basically what the word says… no hits. Medina was pitching so well, that no one on FLCC Baseball could successfully get on base by a single, double, triple or a home-run. Correct me if i’m wrong but I am pretty sure he was a walk away from a perfect game, which is not allowing a single batter out of the seven innings they play to reach a base.
Being a ex-baseball player, and still a baseball fan, this is pretty impressive to me… especially at the college level. Its kind of ironic that this happened against FLCC, the team that I used to play for.
Congrats to the GCC Baseball team.

Fun at College Village
StandardEarlier today, I was hanging out with a few friends down at the dorms and we saw a bunch of people down by the volleyball area. We went outside to check it out and it was pretty cool. I’d say there were about twenty of the international students, who all lived in the dorms, were out having fun playing volleyball. It came to my attention that they are alot more International students that live at the dorms than I thought. The best part about all of this was that the game was actually very interesting to watch. Usually when College Village residents have pick up games of volleyball outside, the games are just fun and not really that intense. I’d say about 95% of the International students actually playingwere in a way talented at volleyball, which made the game interesting to watch.
I’m not sure if they all planned this before, but they were enjoying themselves and it was pretty cool seeing them outside, having fun.

lacrosse game
StandardIn my town, we were to small to have a lacrosse team. This being said, I don’t have the most knowledge on lacrosse so I thought it would be interesting to go watch the girls play. They played against Jefferson Community College.
We lost 2 – 19 , the two goals coming from Anna Modera.
Even though we lost, I learned that there is a big difference in they styles of play in boys and girls lacrosse. Girls lacrosse is not a contact sport like guys lacrosse is.
