Hilary Clinton Visits South Carolina State University

On February 26, 2016 Hilary Clinton visited the campus of South Carolina State University to persuade students to cast their vote for her on Saturday February 27. The “Breaking Down Barriers” rally was held at 3:45pm in Dukes Gymnasium. Doors opened at 3:15pm and the Orangeburg community quickly filled the gym.

Hilary Clinton had familiar faces such as Starr Jones, Karen Civil, K. Michelle and Congressman Jim Clyburn speak on her policies and her as an individual before she entered the stage. “44 boys is enough, it’s time for madam president” said Starr Jones. As Congressman Jim Clyburn gave his speech he reminded the audience of what she has done for the United States without having the role as President “No one has run for president with such an extensive résumé.”

Majority of students entered the rally undecided, however after hearing her policies some decision were made that very moment. “Personally I felt like she did a wonderful job getting her point across, it didn’t feel like it was rehearsed it was very personal. I came here undecided but now I’m leaning more toward Hilary. She made great talking points that I can relate to especially health care and trying to get out of school without debt.” London Knight Senior.              (Congressmen Jim Clyburn) 

                                                                                  The Breaking Down Barriers Rally had a very good turn out, students were star struck when given the opportunity to get selfies with Hilary Clinton and K Michelle. Hilary Clinton is now preparing for her campaign trail for Super Tuesday.

What is Pinterest?

"Pinterest is a social network that allows users to visually share, and discover new interests by posting (known as 'pinning' on Pinterest) images or videos to their own or others' boards (i.e. a collection of 'pins,' usually with a common theme) and browsing what other users have pinned" -infront.com 

Pinterest has more than 12 million users in the United States. It is now the third most visited websites. The most popular category on Pinterest is the "food and drink" with 11.9 percent of pins, followed by "DIY" (Do It Yourself) and crafts’ 9.2 percent and "home décor" 5.9 percent. 

How do business benefit from Pinterest? 

• 25% of Fortune Global 100 companies have Pinterest accounts.
• Pinterest pins with prices get 36% more likes than those without.
• 43% of Pinterest members agree that they use Pinterest to “associate with retailers or brands with which I identify”, compared to just 24% of Facebook users who agree to the same use with Facebook.
• The survey, which interviewed 7,431 online buyers from August 9 to 17 2012, also found that significantly more online consumers agree that Pinterest is a place to “get inspiration on what to buy” and “help keep track of or collect things I like.”

Laan Told Me

She sat in class chatting with her friends as her conversation echoed across the room. Wearing a grey SC State crewneck and a khaki SC State hat Jaylaan seemed very alert and prepared to start her day. The 20-year-old Charleston native is a 2013 graduate of Goose Creek High school were she participated in the ROTC program. 

 Despite the early morning workout calls her love and dedication for ROTC earned her a scholarship from the Bulldog Battalion, where she is now ranked as a MS3. "Being involved with them was challenging at first because it's my first real taste of the Army life, its a whole lifestyle change. It's kinda hard balancing Army life and college life at the same time but you get use to it after a while."  

Not only is she a member of The Bulldog Battalion, Jaylaan is apart of the South Carolina State University Student Government Association Student Senate. They tackle issues in the constitution and eliminate any loopholes. Every home basketball game you can expect to see Jaylaan on the floor at the basketball game keeping the crowd entertained at halftime and timeout opportunity. 

Balancing ROTC, SGA, and hosting basketball game seems like a to carry but she seems to be handling it flawlessly. Upon graduation in May 2017, Jaylaan plans to continue the army lifestyle. Once she graduates she will be commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the Army. She plans to enter the signal corp which is the technical side of the army. Her end goal is to own her own radio station.

Let's Tweet!

What is Twitter? A social media app that allows each user to express their thoughts with 140 characters. The creator of this was Jack Dorsey, a native of St. Louis. He taught him self how to build cpu programs before he was a teenager and he was hired to create a dispatch system after hacking into one. After his twitter app soared he began working on another brilliant idea, which was Square. 

Twitter is a free social networking and micro-blogging that has altered the way that people communicate with each other. You are able to "tweet" via text message, cpu or the actual app itself. 

Some people use twitter to communicate with with friends, others use it to advertise business or blogs but most people use twitter to keep up with the latest news in real time. The newly added "moments" feature allows users to be updated with any news breaking story within seconds. Twitter is one of my favorite apps that I enjoy using. It forces me to get my sarcasm across with less than 140 characters, so to see what I'm tweeting about make sure you follow me!
