Alex Santana Jennifer Yu Abby Johnston Julie Reyes

Campus Ambassador Online Editor Writer Social Media Intern

Alex, What is the best new
diet worth trying?
-Amber Lankford
Honestly, I don’t believe in diets.
They are destined for failure. You
starve yourself for a week or a
month and then end up gaining
the weight back. Each result
depends on the individual. A “diet”
needs to become your lifestyle. In
my experience, eating things you
like but in smaller portions and
working out is the best way to lose
the weight you want and keep it off.
Jennifer, Does the Seven
Day Bikini Diet from the
March issue REALLY work?
-Theresa Clark
Like I said before, I swear by
it. I lost 10 pounds before my
brother’s wedding by strictly
following the diet. However,
like any other crash diet, exercise
and continuing to eat healthy is
required to keep the weight off
after you go off the diet.
Have a question for our staff?
Tweet us @StudyBreaks
Abby, What is your worst
unhealthy vice?
-Bernadette Creasey
Donuts. Absolutely. I am a sucker
for every type and brand - from
national Krispy Kreme’s to local
sugary confections like Gordough’s
-  I’ve had them all. The worst
part is, I have found absolutely
no substitution for their sugary
goodness, so I am left with an
incurable weakness for glazed
donuts hot out of the oven.
Julie, What are good
low-impact workouts that
still work?
-Isa D’Aniell
Can low impact workouts help
you burn calories and lose
weight as well as high impact
moves? Absolutely! Despite
what some people may say, low-
impact  exercises can get your
heart rate into your target heart
rate zone. You just have to work
a little harder. Yoga, pilates, spin-
ning, walking and swimming are
a few of the popular ones.

FLEET FOXES
MAY 10TH @ STUBBS
When Seattle’s Fleet Foxes played outdoors in the
drunken Texas sun at South By Southwest earlier
this year, it was impossible not to be stirred by their
harmonies, that were so sweet they sounded holy.
Hailing from Seattle, The Fleet Foxes hail influence from
Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and The Beach Boys to produce
a harmonious fluid musical experience. Missing these
guys play live would be something of shame consider-
ing Austin is one of their favorite venues to play at.
Fleet Foxes are sitting on two successful records and
multiple singles that coax the listener in an entirely
different musical experience.

DEBORAH GUTIERREZ
Princess Triple Crown
Deborah Gutierrez, 33 Hometown: Houston Major: Music & History

Q: What is your favorite thing about the bar?

I love the variety of music we play in this bar. You
never know who is going to walk through the
door.  There are people from all walks of life and
ages that come to the Triple Crown.
Q: What is the best night to come in and why?
Every night is a good night to come out!  We have
live music every day and night.  It starts at happy
hour, which is at 6 pm  The bands work for tips and
you can get wells and drafts for $1.50! We also have
$2 you call its on Sunday through Tuesdays from
9 until 11.  I like to check our live music calendar
daily to see what genre of music we will be having.
It’s always a pleasant surprise!
Q: If someone were to talk dirty to you in a foreign
language from across the bar, you’d want it to be…
Russian.  I don’t know why, but it’s very sexy!
Q: If a customer was being rude and obnoxious, you
would probably:
Forget the booze altogether and kill ‘em with kind-
ness as always.  If all else fails, hose ‘em down.  I
have been known to do that from time to time.
Q: If you became a famous rapper, your name would be?
That’s funny because my band’s name is Debatron.
It’s a nickname I got from a patron years ago.  I
always thought it could be a rapper name.  My
alternate would be Debalicious.  That’s another
nickname I got working here.

Q: Favorite Drink?
Lemon Drops- yummy! I love them and everyone
likes to order them from me.  Bloody Mary as well,
they are my personal favorites.

THE JOHN LAWS BAND
Pushing the Limits
It’d be hard to pin one single
genre on John Laws when he
picks up an instrument, or in-
struments for that matter. The
John Laws Band is a solo project
featuring John Laws from The
Woodlands, Texas. Spending
most of his time perfecting his
craft, John has traveled across
Texas playing his music includ-
ing local venues like Wake the
Dead Coffee House and Tantra
Coffee House. Claiming to find
inspiration from almost every
possible genre out there, John
Laws takes a unique blend of ex-
perimental folk,with a splash of
acoustic alternative to mesmer-
ize viewers as he expresses his
life’s passion through a mighty
musical medium.
How long have you
been playing music?
Music has been involved in my
life since I was a young boy. I
always wanted to play electric
guitar. I was in multiple choirs
during middle school, and I also

family has always supported my
passion for music, and I’m very
thankful for that.  into the music scene?
Where do you find inspi-
ration for writing music?
Writing music is just like fall-
ing in love. Love falls into your
lap when you least expect it. I’ve
found myself in countless situ-
ations where something has in-
spired me, but I’ve had no way
to act upon the idea. Something

know is that I’m mostly inspired

I love the energy that fills

nothing like playing and cap-

What’s the weirdest thing
that’s happened at a show?
Once, I had a sound engineer

DON’S DAILY WORKOUT:
5 am cardio
for 20 minutes
Weights for
45 minutes
Sauna for 10 minutes
to cleanse after a
vigorous workout
A
lways on the go, Donovan
Marshall fits in a workout
everyday. As soon as he
rolls out of bed to the minute
before falling asleep, he spends
spare time at the gym. This
routine wasn’t always scheduled
though. Growing up, Donovan
was on the heavier side. His
way of life needed to change,
and fast, because college was
just around the corner.
The Build Up
Coming from a single-parent
household, Donovan’s mother
prepared home cooked meals
that were loaded with grease.
“She just worked so much that
she made the quick and greasy
foods for me,” says Donovan.
Having this unhealthy diet led
him to be the chubby kid in class
around the 5th grade. His weight
escalated from there. His habits
became increasingly worse as he
got older. Whether it be pizza,
hamburgers, red meat, and sodas
especially, he ate it all. Fast foods
consumed his life.
5
TIPS FOR KEEPING THE FRESHMAN 15 OFF:
1 Exercise at least five times
a week for 45 minutes
2 No smoking
3 Eat vegetables and fruits
4 Drink a gallon of water daily
5 Decrease alcohol consumption
High School
When he reached 270 pounds
junior year of high school,
Donovan knew that he
should start to lose weight if
he planned on participating
in extra curricular activities.
“I didn’t want to be the fat
kid on the sidelines.” So
Donovan decided to try out
for the cheer squad at his
high school. After making
it on the team, he began to
build close relationships with
the ladies in high school, but
none were ever classified as,
“The One.” The ladies viewed
him as someone to protect
them, rather than being
their high school sweetheart.
“Weight didn’t seem to be
the problem, because I have
a loveable personality,” says
Donovan. He was really
excited to participate in his
high school’s cheer squad,
where he not only developed
the majority of friendships
with his teammates, but also
was forced to shape up.
Breaking Point
Being a family oriented person,
Donovan holds his family and
those close to him dear to his
heart. “I realized that I needed
to lose weight when I saw some
of my family member’s health
deteriorate. I chose to make
better food selections, cut down
carbs, eat more green vegetables,
and exercised daily—always
following with a gallon of water.”
Hard work and determination
was a huge factor in leading
Donovan down the right path
Commit
To Be Fit.
It’s My
Motto.
to lose weight.
Changes
College is another chapter in
life where you can create a new
image for yourself. You have
the opportunity to change
for the better and become
someone different than who
you were in high school. You
make new friends, you make
your own schedule, and most
of all, you make your own
food choices. College had a
huge influence on Donovan’s
decision to become fit and
healthy. He stayed away from
his mother’s home cooked
meals, and changed his eating
habits all together. His new
diet consisted of smaller
portions, no eating out at fast
food chains, no drinking sodas,
and strictly eating dinner
before 8pm.
Inspiration
Donovan used self-motivation
Photo by: Daniel Nunes
D’line6 Photography
to change his heavy habits.
He surrounded himself with
others who wanted to change
as well, and join the road
to become healthy. “I hired
a personal trainer for three
months in order to assist me
with obtaining my goal. He
gave me valuable insight on
how the mind and body can
work hand in hand to achieve
your goal.” That goal was
definitely reached. Donovan
lost about 95 pounds.
Reactions
Returning home after his first
year of college was a huge
shock to Donovan’s family.
They were all very excited to see
the pounds that he once had,
gone. He’d get reactions such
as, “Donovan, are you eating?”
and “Why are you working out
so much?” The best conclusion,
“I just wanted to live a healthier
life. I’ve committed to be fit.”

ridiculed for his weight and was often
called “Chubs.” Influenced by his family’s
eating habits of frequently dining out,
Christopher didn’t develop a healthy diet and
had a vice for fast food and energy drinks. He
was a self-described “carbo-holic”. Eventually
Christopher hit his all time high of 208 pounds
at 5’11. Tired by the stress of dealing with
his weight, Christopher broke down, calling
himself fat and out of shape. That is when he
knew it was time for a change. Now at 6’1 and

DREAM ROOM WITH

BEN STEFFY
BISHOP’S SQUARE APARTMENTS
words: ryan elliott photos: mark fallis

Ben Steffy makes his apartment his own domain, which is the best
part about living on his own. “I get to make the rules. The best part
about not living with my parents is knowing that my apartment is
my domain.” That is exactly what he had in mind when he deco-
rated his room. Ben gives the insight on keeping memories from
childhood and making your room a comfortable place for yourself.

Ben Steffy, 19 How do you like living on your own?
Hometown: Dallas I love living on my own, the freedom
Major: Political Science to do whatever, whenever has got to
be the best.
What is one item in your
room that best describes you?
MY PLACE My coexist flag, it pretty much sums
up my views on life.
What do you like best about
living away from your parents?
The best part about not living with
my parents is knowing that my
apartment is my domain, I get to

make the rules.

What is one thing you wouldn’t
live without in your apartment?
My tea pot. I love tea, and I make
it all the time, because I don’t really
like coffee.
What was your inspiration
for decorating your room?
I don’t know if you could say
there was a single source of
inspiration, it’s more just a collection
of things I’ve found that I like to
keep around.
What advice would you give to someone
shopping for apartments for the first time?
The best advice is to look early and
find a place that’s near everything.
How do you like living with roommates?
I don’t mind living with roommates,
as long as everyone takes care of
themselves. It usually works out fine.
When setting boundaries, what were
some you discussed with your roommates?
Well I’m a smoker, so we set
boundaries about where smoking
was allowed. Other than that we
pretty much take it case by case.
How close are you to campus?
It takes about five minutes to get to
campus from my place, if traffic isn’t
crazy. I like being close to campus,
it’s nice when you don’t have to wait
long to get off a bus that’s bursting
from the seams with people.

What would you change differently next year

when decorating your room?
I would try to see if I could paint
the walls. There’s something really
boring about white walls.
