Alia Griese –– Social Media Editor

Social Media Editor Alia Griese (’12), has once spent a night with a friend sleeping on top of a batting cage.

“We both really wanted to watch shooting stars so we decided to do so on a batting cage. We ended up falling asleep and it was pretty great.”

When Griese is not spending her time sleeping on batting cages or making unique growling noises toward unknowing couples, she enjoys eaves dropping for funny tidbits to add to this year’s Heard Around Campus blog. She encourages fellow journalists to eaves drop on their peers whenever possible.

“Heard Around Campus is what I am most excited about. I mean, I know it will not be the biggest as being a social media editor, but I really think it will take off. It’s something we’ve never done before and I am excited.”

Alia has many interesting experiences to date; one being she once ate a scorpion that was in lodged in a lollipop. “I know people have eaten much weirder things and I only ate half of the lollipop, but I thought it would make a great story!”

Talking trash: Jerry Springer is the man

Written by Alia Griese · May 2, 2011

To categorize talk-show hosts in terms of how trashy their shows are is as easy as changing the channel. As the ringmaster of a drunk-girl-meets-pregnant-man circus, it must be difficult to hold a respectable title. Jerry Springer can do it all: After watching countless episodes, I’ve noted...

Defeat vs. Success: Ceramics may or may not be your skill

Written by Alia Griese · February 2, 2011

Ceramics may or may not be your skill. In fact, it probably isn’t. While it isn’t a scientifically stated fact, “only 50 percent of students are decent at ceramics,” says former ceramics student Leah Lyons (’11). Though it is known to be a challenging skill, there... (more...)
