Ask a Big Ed!

This is it! The day has arrived. Piss off "Dear Abby"...there is a new gun in town. We here at "What the Hell is a Gorlok" want our dear followers to know we care, and to prove that, we created this blog to be your voice and now...we want to be like your crazy older brother. Ya' know, the one that only went to college for 3 years, bartends and is shacked up with some girl he met at Pops over on the east side. This is the brother that gives good advice, yet he does not practice what he preaches. This is the same brother that Grandma always refers to as the "late bloomer." That's pretty much how we are going to roll with this post and the next 2 to follow. We are going to be that "late blooming" brother, and answer any questions you might have regarding Webster Advertising and/or the School of Communications. These questions are real and we promise you, the answers will be as well. Webster is about individualism, the forces that be must accept that and let the knowledge here at WTHIAG be heard!! And now...the first question:

What has been the most beneficial advertising class you have taken at Webster and why?

Whoa. Easy there tiger. A pretty broad question for a school that has a pretty broad advertising program. It's hard for me to focus on one individual class. I have enjoyed certain professors and the class they have taught. My advisor has made sure to give me an advertising onslaught of classes to make my ADVT knowledge come full circle. With that being said, I like the classes that push creativity, that push your mind and push your buttons. If your not getting pissed off during a semester you are not learning. Good educators push your buttons and I have had my buttons pushed plenty here at WU (er..wait, did that sound weird?).

So I say, "Push on WU ADVT professors...Push on!"

And if you are in the ADVT program and are a whining Lil' Oprah hugger, buck up... or transfer to UMSL and become a Poly Sci major.

New Semester...New Classes...New Decade!?

I hope everyone had a fantastic break! I know I did...it could have been a little bit longer though! Share some of the fun shenanigans you got into on your Facebook fan page or just comment!

I hope everyone had a great first week back. I, myself, am working to get back into the swing of things and the first way I thought of was by posting on our beloved blog! Which got me thinking, how do you, yes you, the one reading this right now, how do you get back into the swing of things when a new semester begins? I am in need of ways because frankly, I don't really have one and having one...or more...would probably benefit me in the long run!

Upcoming events you ask? The Gorloks have a double header on Saturday against...*checking calendar*...Westminster at 1 and 3 at Grant Gym. So be there! I don't want to hear any excuses about having to work *cough* Fitzpatrick *cough*!

In other news, if you are having a craptastic day, and need a pick-me-up, go to textsfromlastnight.com or fmylife.com. It always gives me a good chuckle!!

Until next time, you stay classy blog readers!

We're Back!

Hello all you Webster folk.

Hope your holidays were swell. Mine were super, thanks for your concern (I totally know you were thinking if my holidays were pleasant).

So...for many of us, this is our last semester as a Gorlok, aka- Big Ed (Que awesome montage that features tearful good-bye music and pictures of us in our days at Webster. Awwwww!)

I want this last semester to be fun, rewarding, and mischievous. If you have any concerns, questions or ideas...post them on our Facebook page...I nominate myself to be the "Dear Abby" of Webster University. You can address those questions, ideas and/or concerns to "Dear Nicky!"

I know some of you don't care what a Gorlok is, but for Pete's sake, don't get so angry that you toss literature about the Gorlok in the parking lot; only to let the literature get rained on and raped by car tires. This picture made me seethe with anger (is seethe a word? i don't have time to google it). This picture was taken on the first day back spring semester 2010, next to the UC. A reward is being offered by us here at What The Hell is a Gorlok if anyone knows any info regarding the persons who threw this literature on the ground. The reward will consist of a high-five from all of us here, and a passionate hug from Matt "fitty" Fitzger...er.... Fitzpat...er...Fitz-something. I might throw in a 6-pack of PBR too! (Disclaimer: Must be 21 years of age to get PBR prize...not a year younger...nor a year older...must be exactly 21!)

Stay in touch.
