Discovery Trip 2017

A Golden State of Mind

by Gabbie Graham When I was young, I always dreamed of traveling and becoming an explorer of the many of the beautiful sights the world has to offer. The Luckyday Program at Southern Miss has given me the opportunity to live out that dream when I never thought it was possible. I have now been on two…

LA in a day

How do you see all the major sights in a sprawling city with 19 people, two large vans, and rediculous traffic even on a Saturday? You don’t! Day two of our discovery trip was more about choosing a few items from the buffet of options that Los Angeles and Santa Monica have to offer. We…

Meet the Mentors: Hello! People call me Roman and you can too! I’m from a very small town called Monticello. I am majoring in English (focus on literature) and taking the licensure route. In Hattiesburg, I am involved with Luckyday, Boys and Girls Club, and Aldersgate. My favorite part of freshman year was the people I met in Luckyday. I consider all of them my friends. In addition, I was fortunate enough to meet two guys I now consider brothers. There’s a lot of advice I would like to give freshman. In an effort to condense all of it here it goes: Be it rain, snow, sleet, or heat always keep it cool.

Meet the Mentors: Hi, my name is Addison Rivers. I am a sophomore Nursing Major from Hattiesburg, MS. I will be serving as a Luckyday Mentor on the 5th floor! I’m currently involved in Luckyday, Luckyday’s Goodness Gracious Committee, Delta Gamma, Wesley Foundation, and Lambda Sigma Honor Society. My favorite part of freshman year was homecoming week; there were tons of activities to participate in, and of course, cheering on the Eagles, SMTTT! My advice for the incoming freshman is to make sure you reach out to others in your classes and form study groups. This is one of the best ways to meet new people and help you with your transition to college.

Meet the Mentors: Hello! My name is Kori Miles. I am a sophomore broadcast journalism major. I enjoy making music, writing poetry, and photography. This year I will be acting as a 3rd floor mentor! My favorite part of freshman year was the late night conversations (& Debates 😊) as well as the movie nights hosted by the 2nd floor. The best advice I can give is to not dwell on the past, or get too caught up in hoping for the future, but to instead be present in every moment.

Meet the Mentors: “Hello everyone. My name is Jaylen Mack, and I am a Music Education major from here in Hattiesburg, MS. This past year I was privileged to be involved with Luckyday, Honors College, Lamda Sigma Honor Society, Symphonic Winds, Trumpet Ensemble, and COGIC campus ministry. Personally, I am most grateful for the relationships that I was able to form with other students both inside and outside of Luckyday. My advice would be to never underestimate the potential for just one person to completely change your outlook on life. Take advantage of and consider others’ viewpoints, for this alone will prove to make life on campus very interesting.”

Meet the Mentors: Hey everyone! My name is Makallen Kelley and I will be one of the 5th Floor mentors this year! I am a sophomore Theatre Major and Recording Industry Production Minor from Jackson, MS! I am currently involved in Luckyday, Concert Choir, the Lambda Sigma Honor Society, and the Alpha Psi Omega Theatre Honor Society. One of my favorite memories from freshman year was caroling on each floor after our Christmas “sock-swap’ party. It was an amazing way to end my first semester with the people I loved the most. One piece of advice I would give to freshman is that although this is a new chapter in your life and a new level of independence, you are not obligated to do everything on your own. You are not alone in this journey, so don’t be afraid to reach out for help if you need it!
