BY DIEGO GIRGADO AND BLANCA PALACIOS ALLISON LONG/TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT/MCT Living with a roommate can be tough. More often than not, you and you’re roommate(s) aren’t exactly best friends. You don’t have to be friends with him/her, but you should be able to get along and perhaps form some type of friendship. Here’s how you can do that:

1. Write Up a Roommate Agreement Form: If your RA didn’t already help you with this, do it yourself. Write down things such as a chore responsibility list, what time you prefer to have the TV or lights on, your music volume preference, study hours, who should buy toilet paper for the apartment, and when members of the opposite sex can come over. Have all of the roommates sign it, and post it on the fridge or bulletin board as a reminder. 2. Plan Weekly/Monthly Bonding Sessions: This can be as easy as getting coffee every now and then, having a “family” dinner or just watching a favorite TV show together. This way, you can bond and start to see your roommate as an acquaintance or friend – not just a random stranger who doesn’t know how to buy toilet paper when they run out. 3. Don’t Spend Too Much Time Together: It might seem contradictory to #2, but this just means have a balance in the amount of time you spend with your roomie. If you do everything together and live together, you’ll end up getting sick of them and wanting space. Have a life outside of your dorm or apartment.

These moments be able to easily recognize those of camaraderie are cherished beyond all else. members of your team, but you In order to fully appreciate some of the events and the fashion showcased there, here are a few also want the number of people choice examples: your house brought out to the event is visible. Philanthropies are all about showing support for other houses’ causes, and it’s imperative that other houses can see that you are there for them. Philanthropies often occur during the day on the weekends, making outfits much like those for Bid Night necessary. The look may be a little less cute and a little sillier; however, Greek members across the row love coordinated and spirited outfits. Matching hats and socks not necessary, but they are encouraged.

Themes, Glorious Themes To continue on this fun and silly streak, the next important fashion note to hit when examining Greek fashion is that of the themed party. Themes can be anything, from something as specific as “Around the World” to anything as broad as “The Letter T.” Themes are a fantastic excuse for everyone to have fun, and they specifically give sorority girls a long-awaited opportunity to throw off their heels, throw on their converse and dance like lunatics. All in all, themed parties are a terrific time for everyone involved. They take away from the serious tone of more formal events, and give everyone a chance to let loose while laughing at the hilarious range of crazy costumes.

Formal Invite Last but certainly not least, formal invite. Though this is one of the only formal events pictured here, it is one of the most important. Sorority and fraternity invite is the subject of both excitement and stress for Greek members. The event’s formality adds extra weight to finding a date. While many are content to take their significant other or friend, others must look for the elusive perfect set-up.

Pasadena Antique Mall (PAM) is a fun place to get lost in on a Saturday afternoon.

Looking for affordable clothes? LBAM won’t disappoint THERE’S AN ALMOST UNDENIABLE MAGIC about antiques and vintage garments. Maybe it’s Long Beach Antique Market the fact that each item has a history and has impacted someone else’s life before it found its way into 4901 E. Conant Street yours. Maybe it has something to do with why “Antiques Roadshow” is so mesmerizing. A show Long Beach, Calif. 90808 about old people going through their attics shouldn’t be addicting. With secondhand items, there This is kind of like the younger cousin in the family of flea markets. It is held on the third Sunday is some sort of mystery—you don’t know exactly where everything has been or what emotional of every month, so if you miss the Rose Bowl, it can be a fun alternative. The website boasts that significance it had to someone before you. there are numerous celebrity sightings, so keep your eyes out for famous people.

In a shabby-chic metropolis like this, it’s no grants you access to more than 800 vendors, all touting their wares that include vintage clothing wonder there is a wealth of flea markets just waiting to be explored. and jewelry, as well as antique furniture. The fact that your dorm room doesn’t really warrant such finery is irrelevant.

They can also serve as inspiration, cluing you in to your own preferred numerous cheap and unique items at your ready disposal. aesthetic. Big, statement pieces of vintage jewelry spice up an outfit like nothing else can, giving any ensemble an air of cool—as well as something to distinguish you from the pack. In any event, this is a fun way to kill a Sunday that could get you something truly special in the process. Here are some fun spots to check out for some of the best antiques and vintage items in L.A. Even if you’re not in the market for end tables or loveseats, all these places contain gems scattered Large Vintage Area throughout and are certainly worth looking into – even if you’re only looking to go exploring.

Pasadena Antique Mall 309 E. Green Street Pasadena, Calif. 91101 This vast antique store in Pasadena contains a labyrinth of a random assortment of goods. There is a fun collection of old Carnivale masks that are just begging for a photo-op. When I was here, I found a box full of vintage letters available for around $2. My friend and I spent a long time trying to guess things about the authors of the letters and examining their penmanship (which was infinitely better than either of ours). Many of the items in here are on the pricier side, but it is certainly a fun place to browse around and see what little knickknacks you can find. It is not a market; it is a store, so there’s no particular rush or timeframe in which to check it out.

Rose Bowl Flea Market 1001 Rose Bowl Drive Pasadena, Calif. 91103 The Rose Bowl holds a special place in the hearts of college football fans around the nation, but it also has a special place when it comes to vintage and antique wares. The Rose Bowl Flea Market is the biggest and most intense of the L.A. flea markets. Though admission is around $8 (depending on when you go), the sheer entertainment value is worth the ticket price. It’s held on the second Sunday of every month, and the vendors are set up by 9 a.m. (though if you want to pay a little extra, you can come early so you get your pick of the merchandise). This place is undoubtedly a feast for the senses, and potentially one of the coolest places to get lost in.

Melrose Trading Post Fairfax High School 7850 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles, Calif. 90036 If the Rose Bowl Flea Market is a little overwhelming, try the Melrose Trading Post. With 250 vendors, it’s a mere tenth of the size of the Rose Bowl. The $3 admission fee is also less of a commitment, and that money goes to help the high school that supports it. It’s held every Sunday, and the clientele is generally young, and the vendors cater to this demographic. There’s also a fabulous food truck scene for when you shop up an appetite. Being able to haggle over prices also makes this type of shopping excursion particularly fun. Getting something unique at an amazing price feels like an accomplishment. Try asking BCBG to lower their prices.

Blocking the window from view are her precariously towering piles of newspapers, only the most ghastly headlines meticulously cut and picked out. Her new employers downstairs know little to nothing about her—only that she can take care of their children when they work—and that’s enough for them. But what they don’t know, and what the world wouldn’t know until after her death, was that she kept a secret that would have changed her life if the public got a sniff of it. This woman, this recluse of a nanny meandering through her maze of news clippings, was a photographer—and a phenomena l one at that.

www.CampusCircle.com CAMPUS CIRCLE March 27 - April 9, 2014 17 FILM JAAP BUITENDIJK WHAT IS MILES TELLER AFRAID OF? The actor explains this and more in a 1:1 interview!

BY LAURA KOELLER

THE FIRST THING I NOTICED ABOUT MILES TELLER was his impeccable taste in sushi. The tray outside his suite at the Four Seasons was covered in an array of rolls delicious enough to make his handler and I stare at it for a good few minutes, mouths agape and watering. It’s been a good year for Teller, and not just because of food. He has recently been attached to the Fantastic Four reboot due some time next year, and he previously starred in That Awkward Moment (with Michael B. Jordan and Zac Efron). Even more recently, Teller has found success with Divergent, a film based on the popular book series of the same name by Veronica Roth that is currently playing in theaters. After tearing my eyes away from his room service, I sat down with the 27-year-old actor to talk acting, his fears and his fans.

So you mentioned you have a group of fans called… Peter’s Princesses, yeah. Well, I coined that phrase.

Oh, you made it up? Yeah. We were in Phoenix or Dallas or something, and on Twitter I just said: “hey heading to Phoenix, looking forward to seeing all of Peter’s Princesses.” Just kind of throwing it out there, and it got some steam behind it, and when I showed up some of the girls had like signs saying, “I’m one of Peter’s Princesses” and all that. So, I thought it was pretty funny.

If you could portray any character from any book, who would it be? I’m going to go with Mowgli from The Jungle Book. Miles Teller plays ‘Peter’ in Divergent.

Why Mowgli? I just think I’m pretty eclectic. When I was in high school, I was in jazz band, drama club, baseball, I have an affinity for anyone who can survive in the wild. That’s kind of all the stuff I watch, like honor society, and my buddies and I threw all the parties…I was kind of just very well-rounded, so all the survival stuff. I just think that’s man at his most primal form, and I think it would be a lot I think that’d be a part of it. I had a lot of groups of friends. Like, the guys I was doing plays with of fun. weren’t the ones I was throwing keg parties with.

Have you ever tried to do anything like that? So, is the theme Divergent of “not fitting into one mold” something that resonated with you a lot? No, I haven’t, but I would like to take like a survival course or something like that. It’s a lot. You’ve It’s not something that I carry as a badge of honor or anything like that, but I think it’s a good thing got to study, and you really need to get out there and learn all the stuff you can. But if I can get for kids in high school who are being like cyber bullied and this, that and the other. I think Shailene some fire-making techniques, build a little shelter, I think that’d be cool. It’s nice to watch it on TV, [Woodley’s] character is a good role model for that because she’s a lead female heroine character though, because you don’t have to actually do it, but I love it. that’s not bitchy. She’s not snarky; she’s just a true nice, caring, generous person who then kind of really toughens up and isn’t afraid to be who she is. That’s a really nice message for teenage boys If you were injected with fear-serum, what do you think you’d see? and girls. Maybe you see people that have been there your whole life, and they don’t recognize you. Maintaining friendships outside of college, once you kind of all spread out – it takes a lot of work, Did you find your character (Peter) difficult to empathize with? because it’s not like you just live down the street or anything. And it’s been a long time since I got I tried to justify the whole knife in the eye thing, and I couldn’t really come up with anything. But to see some of my buddies from Florida. So, that would be a fear of mine. at the end of the day, in the world they’re in, if you don’t survive, you are faction-less…everyone And, I don’t know…cats with snake tails because I’m allergic to cats, and snakes kind of freak was trying to buddy up, this and that, but it’s every man for himself. And in my real life, I got tons me out. of buddies and stuff, but Peter – he doesn’t really care. He’s very competitive, and I think he really Maybe not being able to touch things. I’m very tactile. And my shoulder here, because I got envies Eric (Jai Courtney) and Four, and that leadership...that’s something he really latches onto. It in a car accident, so technically 2 percent of my body is paralyzed. I have a lot of nerve damage was fun playing a character that didn’t really care too much what people thought about him. That’s up through here. So, when I would get steroid shots, they would put the needle in, and I wouldn’t the part of him you really latched on to? even feel it. Or even just losing any of my abilities, like losing my vision; that would be really scary. Yeah, well, it was just fun. I’ve done a lot of movies that are like comedy or whatever, and that shit Gotta ask this: What faction (from the film Divergent) do you think you’d be in? can be exhausting...it’s a lot of fun, but at the end of the day, sometimes you just kind of want to Dauntless.

Laura Koeller (far right) and her sorority sisters SMALL SCHOOL at Occidental College. GREEK LIFE Why join a sorority when I go to a school of 2,000 students? BY LAURA KOELLER

WHEN I TOLD MY FRIENDS AT HOME I HAD JOINED A SORORITY, the reaction wasn’t so much verbal protests as incredulous stares. The choice to go Greek seemed almost nonsensical. I go to Occidental College; there are approximately 2,000 students here. Why would I need a tiny network of people to make an intimate school seem even more intimate? What I have found is that going Greek in a small school is actually highly beneficial in eradicating many of the issues commonly associated with Greek life at larger schools. Walking around campus, I don’t feel like just another member of Alpha Lambda Phi Alpha sorority. I feel like Laura Koeller, a multifaceted individual, because I’ve met a large enough portion of the student body that my Greek affiliations don’t define me; they are just one aspect of who I am. LAURA KOELLER Occidental is small in every way, including the Greek life. In truth, the school seems smaller to Greek system as being less than genuine.
