Fifteen days - that's how long I have left at TCU as I sit here pondering how to summarize my college experience in 500 words. Do I talk about how I was scared to death of my screaming Frog Camp facilitators...

Finals are fast-approaching and many students know that when faced with such an important time, anything that can go wrong, will. But mastering skills like pre-planning, time management and list making will help students cope with the stress of finals week, a psychology professor said.

Psychology professor Mauricio Papini said pre-finals nerves come from several factors.

"A major source of stress is the overlap of exams and uncertainty about how grades are determined in each course," Papini said.

Josh Noble spent one year working for SurfRay, a partner of Microsoft, before he realized he would need a graduate degree in order to further his management skills.

Noble, a 2008 university graduate with a degree in biology, said he will return to the university to begin the Evening Professional Master in Business Administration program in fall 2010.

Noble returned to the university's graduate program because of the proximity to home, the team-focused environment and the quality of the programs available.

Within one week, Kate Lunati went from having no interviews and no phone calls to having a job as a trauma Intensive Care Unit nurse at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth.

Lunati got the call from the hospital on March 19.

"I stopped breathing; I was so excited," said Lunati, a senior nursing major. "So much stress was just gone."

Lunati was chosen from 150 applicants for a position and said she only interviewed once to get the job she wanted.

"It only takes one," Lunati said.

As a freshman going though recruitment, senior Polly Niccoli said she never imagined she would one day be employed by her sorority. Niccoli, a graphic design major, has been a member of Pi Beta Phi since her freshman year.

A recently established student-run campus ministry has caught fire with university students in the past several weeks.

More than 500 students attended Monday night's Ignite college worship. Students from University of North Texas and Texas A&M University joined Horned Frogs at the third Ignite meeting.

Paige Nettles, a senior fashion merchandising major, pioneered Ignite last semester. Nettles said the goal of the nondenominational ministry is to bring college students together to worship and hear the gospel in a comfortable setting.

You graduate from TCU and get a job. Your employer gives you a company cell phone, which you then use for personal business like making plans to meet a friend for drinks after work. No big deal, right?

Wrong.

Jeff Quon, a SWAT sergeant in Ontario, Calif., is facing charges from his employer after sexting on his company-paid cell phone. Now, a Supreme Court ruling could block personal use of employer-issued phones altogether, which seems to be an extreme consequence for a pretty minor offense.

University students are now getting a chance to announce games for the nationally-ranked Horned Frog baseball team not only on the radio, but on television as well.

Chuck LaMendola, play-by-play announcer for the baseball team, said that because of the deal struck with The Mountain West Sports Network last fall to air student-produced sporting events, students are now getting television announcing experience for the first time. Students were able to call games on the radio in the past, he said.
