BY: Kaleria Jackson It’s the most wonderful time of the year! It’s not Christmas, just yet. It’s Halloween the time of the year where you can dress up in as your favorite character. The time where receiving candy from strangers is acceptable. Just like Christmas, I love the special movies that come along with the holiday. Everyone has their own top picks for which Halloween movie is the best. These picks will not include scary movies since I do not watch scary movies. With that being acknowledged here are my top picks for best Halloween movies. Hocus Pocus Hocus Pocus is sure enough the best Halloween movie. This movie has given the public exactly what we needed. For instance, the song “I Put A Spell On You” is a timely classic. The song is a nothing short of a ‘bop’. Then, you ha...

Reason one: It gives you a sense of persona...

BY: Chelsea Bassett Twenty-five years ago this world lost a beloved icon and true cinematic legend, Audrey Hepburn. However, Hepburn was much more than a beautiful face with a successful acting career. Very few know about the other side to Audrey Hepburn, the side that was just as true as you and me. Hepburn was a kind and truly sincere soul that was actually a huge humanitarian. She often spoke about how we should love others and be kind to everyone in her interviews. One of her most famous quotes was, “People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.” So, to celebrate her on this twenty-fifth year of her passing, I believe we should learn not from her successful business career, but rather her humble life lived off ...

Internships are preparations for the real job. The purpose of the internship is to gain experience. A lot of times “real” jobs require some type of experience as their qualifications. Some majors request an internship at Auburn University of Montgomery (AUM). Speaking from my own experience, my internship was the best job I have ever had in my life. I fully enjoyed my internship because it really has prepared me for a job. I actually got the full experience for my major/degree. Having my internship also prepped me for what attire to wear on different occasions. Every day we dress professionally, meeting days we all wear suits, and days we are off campus we dress professionally but comfortably. Once my boss figured that I was about to graduate, he wrote a recommendation letter and start ...

Auburn University of Montgomery students, it is time for you all to sign up for the Spring and Fall Semesters. You can check with your advisors or got to AUM website https://advisortrac.aum.edu/TracWeb40/Default.html to schedule an advising appointment.
