Are you always on time, or are you guilty of running late? Check out this article posted by a successful businessman and his frustrations of the "new meaning" of being on time. This is definitely something to remember as we go about our day to day! When we are running late, what are the consequences and who suffers in turn? Definitely some food for thought! Have a Happy Thursday Waves!
A Holiday Blessing
Wishing the happiest of holiday seasons to our entire Pepperdine University Wave Family! As we move forward into the new year, let us all stop a moment and reflect on the blessings we have received. Our lives are too short not to be thankful for every moment, even the most trying, as they are all opportunities to grow into ourselves and become the individual we have always wanted to be. Blessings Waves! See you in 2015!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland
A beautiful sight... we're happy tonight... walking in a winter wonderland... *pauses*. Hold up, we are talking about Malibu right? Pepperdine University may be on the West Coast and balmy almost year-round, but that doesn't mean we don't know how to celebrate the season! Tonight in Mullins Town Square, our President Andrew K. Benton is bringing Christmas to campus all the while rocking out with his band as entertainment. Looking forward to the laughter and fun soon to come! @Pepperdine University, thanks for kicking off the holiday season right!
In the spirit of Halloween, here is a video that would brighten up anyone's day! Happy Tuesday Waves!
Finding Confidence in a World of Doubt
      When coming to college you make your entrance into a world full of doubt, choices, and consequences. While all of these terms sound negative, they aren't when viewed through a different lens. Coming to school is a choice, a choice that we make not only to further our education and make new friends, but also to forge our own path in life. Pepperdine University is not your typical place. It is one where the entire community sees itself as being one giant family. Through the good times and the bad, this family is here to support us as we try to find our way in this crazy, messy adventure we call life.
      One thing that I have noticed through interactions with several students is a lack of confidence in both themselves personally and their abilities. It is as if they are fearful of making decisions in the event that they could be wrong or make a mistake. Even deeper than that is this intense desire to be someone and fear that they will not be able to make their mark.
     Well, I'm here to tell you that life is not meant to be perfect. If everything were easy, where would be the challenge or the joy found in dancing through the storms of life. We all have this innate worry of never being good enough, or never reaching our full potential. Yet, I challenge everyone to remember that we are our own worst enemies. How we see ourselves can be the most difficult hurdle we will ever have to overcome. We are the ones who limit ourselves and our possibilities just through not believing that we can do it, and that we can take the world by storm.
     So, I challenge all of my fellow Waves out there to step up and out on what you know and be confident in the person who you are now and who you are to come. You are beautiful. You are valued. You are loved. Stop worrying about what the world thinks and worry about how your are finding your life of purpose. Your spiritual relationship and your personal relationships will blossom as you start believing in yourself. Besides, life is too short not to smile and just do you. Happy Friday Waves!
Want to banish that omnipresent feeling of panic? That was a rhetorical question.
Shoutout to all of our Working Waves out there who are working hard to create the optimal work-life-fun convergence! Thanks for all you do Waves!
Alright Waves! This one is for you..Hope this helps get your Monday shakin!
Making the Most of Opportunities
        "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." This quote is commonly used when trying to encourage people to take the chances they are given in life and make the best of them. There are often times where we are asked to do things we don't necessarily want to do. More often than not, it winds up affecting our mood and the overall experience. Before you know it, your entire day gets caught within the cloud of negativity. This makes me wonder.... why do we let one experience affect our entire day? What happened to finding the silver lining? What if we started living each day with the attitude of, "I'm going to take each and every moment as it comes and find the good. I'm going to make the most of every moment that I'm given in this world."
        This change of attitude and heart is transformational. No longer are you caught within this swirling storm of unhappy thoughts and suppressed irritation. Instead, you find joy in the little things. You find peace in knowing that you are making each and every day beautiful. While there may be days that you do not win the battle against your emotions or unfortunate circumstances, you can make a choice in how you respond. Life is all about choices and finding the ones that bring peace, balance, joy, and humor into your life.
       So next time you feel that little gray cloud following you throughout the day, clear the storm with the radiance of your warm and positive thoughts. Life is too short to dwell on what doesn't work in our favor. As Walt Whitman writes, "Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you."Have a Happy Thursday Waves and keep finding the rays of sunshine!

The First Signs of Fall
If you are not an early bird, then you may not be privy to the first signs of Fall at Pepperdine. Though Starbucks is officially serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Halloween candy is gracing the store shelves, if you don’t emerge from your dorm or apartment until later in the day then you might be mistaken as to what season it is. With toasty afternoons and an abundance of clear blue skies, one might venture to argue that the transition into Fall is just a hoax. Yet, I beg to differ. As an early to rise person myself, I have had the joy of experiencing the chill and the crisp Fall breeze that graces the quad in the morning. The chilly morning and somber grey skies are a stark contrast to the weather in the afternoon. While Malibu has yet to see a change in the colors of the leaves, there is an underlying feeling that mother nature will not wait too much longer. What I love about Fall is this renewed sense of self. Fall is symbolic of fresh starts and new beginnings. As students are closing in on their first few weeks of classes, I cannot think of a better to time to evaluate where on is at personally and make plans to start afresh, set one’s goals, and begin to forge one’s path.
           In the student employment office, we are seeing waves of students come through the doors as they sign the forms that allow them to begin their new job positions. It is a pleasure to see how excited students are for this chance to show what they are made of and put some hard-earned money into their pocket. For anyone looking to start anew or begin a new journey, I cannot think of a better way to get a fresh start than by exploring one’s future career interest through student employment. With the wide range of positions available on and off campus, what a perfect opportunity to try a few industries on for size. Not only do you get to build a resume worth being proud of, but you also make lifelong connections that will serve you well in the future. So as the leaves turn and we get closer to a true Fall feel, explore your options, start fresh and see where the road takes you! If we are lucky, we will see you soon in TCC 210! Until then, Happy 2nd day of Fall Waves!
Stepping Forward for a Better Tomorrow: SFD2014
       This past weekend was marked with Pepperdine’s annual Step Forward Day. Each year, hundreds of students, faculty, and local families gather together to live out the Pepperdine mission by spending a day serving others and helping areas in need. From beautifying schoolyards, planting trees, to playing soccer, the opportunities to serve were varied in both their scale and location. I cannot begin to describe the warmth and excitement exuded by all involved on Saturday morning before buses loaded. Knowing that we were all there for the same purpose was inspiring and humbling. With a great step forward together, we all boarded the buses towards our various destinations.
           The Student Employment Office joined the Faculty and Staff team as they took part in visiting the Neighborhood Youth Association. Serving the greater Los Angeles area, the NYA’s mission is to enable at-risk children and youth to achieve their personal best, by providing a comprehensive set of educational enhancement services, academic support, counseling, career planning, and cultural enrichment activities in a sustained, focused manner during their elementary through high school years. This amazing group has made a remarkable difference in the lives of local students and families. With over 100 years of continuous service to its community, the Neighborhood Youth Association is a great place to make a difference as a mentor to a growing number of deserving youth.
           As part of Step Forward Day, we joined the Neighborhood Youth Association in a day of play at the local park! From duck, duck goose to soccer, our entire team and families came together underneath the sun’s rays and shared a day we will not soon forget. From the young age of 6 all the way up to 17, the kids were full of smiles and the air was full of laughter. If there was ever a time to be thankful for being part of such an amazing experience, it was then.
           Reflecting on the experience, we can only hope that we will continue to see more and more participation in Step Forward Day with each passing year. Though, our greatest wish at the Student Employment Office is that others won’t wait for one day a year to get involved and make a difference! We should strive to Step Forward each day in every way that we can! We are better together, both as a University and as a community, and together we can take steps daily to make the world a better place. Have a great one Waves!
 Best,
The Student Employment Team
Love it...Live it..
