e time has come, the walrus said. ough we all want summer to last forever, eventually it ends and we have to go back to schoolwhich is great because my favorite hobby is back-toschool shopping. Its kind of funny, though. Ive been in school for so long that I forgot how much I love the back-to-school ads and going to Target and buying supplies that I already have. So as I am writing this letter, I have learned that it is important to enjoy summer, but when its time, enjoy school, too. Its pretty great. I mean, you get to buy brand new spirals, folders and pens in a variety of colors. e end of summer isnt quite as depressing when youve persuaded your mom to buy you the Crayola crayons and not RoseArt. Like, embarrassing! I would like to conclude this letter with a question: My Lisa Frank backpack, should I one strap or two strap it?... Enjoy!

Its come to our attention that by printing our June article How to Score Free Drinks, weve offended many of our friends in the bar community. Wed like our readers to keep in mind that this article was written as a joke, and if you actually try any of the mentioned techniques you will, at the very least, be kicked out of the bar...and perhaps even get arrested. Check out this months edition for a genuine guide on how you should behave in a bar.

ou have two options this winter break: Go home and watch The Grinch 37 times while your younger siblings steal your clothes, your parents give you a curfew, and your ex-high school sweetheart makes hitting up the local bars an utter impossibility, OR go live the dream with some badass boarding and amazing after partiesall in the mountains, at college student-style prices with LIFESTYLEZ. Yeah...tough choice. But if youre still not convinced
OR
Listen to your Grandpa tell stories about walking to school 10 miles in the pouring rainuphill both ways, of course Sip on Capri Suns on the couch with your 8-year-old brother Take a cold shower (solo) since your siblings used up all the hot water Sleep all dayand, uhh, sleep all nightin a twin-sized bed...with your snoring sister

51 WAYS TO BE A BADASS
YOUR ULTIMATE BACK-TO-SCHOOL GUIDE
WORDS: SAM SUMPTER PHOTOS: PRESS
COLLEGE STUDENT!
Because, unlike your roommates for the last 18 years (i.e. your parents), this stranger isnt required to love you unconditionally
DONT BE PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE OR AGGRESSIVE Got a problem? Dont write it on a Post-It. Also, dont punch your roommate in the face. Act like an adultits called compromise.
6
1.
1. RESIDENT ASSISTANT (RA) (n.): The head honcho on the dorm oor ofcially responsible for soliciting advice, ruining fun, andoccasionally handing out condoms
- Brandon felt like his RA was a lot like his grumpy 80-year-old neighbor at home when she came by, shook her st and said Hey you kids, cut that out! after receiving the fth noise complaint.
2. BE CONSIDERATE Sharing a dorm room? Dont invite your bf over to bang. Your roommate has a test the next day? Dont invite the whole oor over for ip cup. Remember the golden rule, and dont be a douche. 3. SPLIT COSTS This is more of an issue in an apartment than a dorm, but when it comes to utilities, split it down the middle and dont get fancy with the division. If you only shower once a week (ew), consider the water bill more of a body odor fee.
DONT PLAY THE BLAME GAME Oh mythe bathrooms dirty? Were sure you had, like, nothing to do with that. Teamwork makes the dream work, so dont point ngers until you know how to pee without hitting the toilet seat.
2. HOOK UP (v.): (open to interpretation, often causing confusion) To make out, practice oral sex, receive oral sex, and/or have sex
- When Allison texted Travis to come over so they could hook up, he, expecting some below-the-belt action, was very disappointed upon realizing all she had in mind was an intense dry humping sesh.
3. FOAM PARTY (n.): Rowdy shindig in which large area is lled with suds and bubbles, facilitating wet and wild behavior often credited for the contraction of STDs.
- Lauren was shocked when she fought through a wall of foam on the dance oor, only to nd the fraternity president grinding furiously on her soaked and slippery roommate.
4.
5. INVEST IN HEADPHONES Whether its to block out their snoring or save them from your Nickleback, headphones are an easy, $14 way to save a roommate relationship. 6. SHARE RESPONSIBLY If youre all about renting out your wardrobe to friends, go for it, but keep in mind its a risk and not an obligation. If you see pizza stains on their shirt, dont feel pressured to share yours. And if YOU borrow something, be sure to return it in perfect condition. And clean.
4. SYLLABUS WEEK (n.): A ve-day rainforest genocide in which professors pass out 3-inch-thick packets of paper and feel the need to waste everyones time reading them aloud.
- Derrick woke up for the rst day of class really hungover, got out of bed, threw up in his roommates shoe, and thought to himself, Eh, its just syllabus weekscrew it, before going back to bed.

Because-what-you're still doodling in a spiral notebook? Amateur.
2.
Lock your laptop up in the library and you'll never have to ask a suspicious stranger to watch your stuff again!
6.
Polished, professional and much better looking than a giant Otter Box
Because managing your stress via meditation during finals? Yeah, there's an app for that.
3.
Because you're in college now...and this is the year you stop writing your homework on your hand
4.
7 .
Because your cell phone charger CAN be adorable...you're welcome
1. TAKE A SPORTS CLASS One way to ensure youll actually work out? Make your grade dependant on it. The bonus is its also a GPA boosterunless for some godforsaken reason you manage to fail Aerobics for Beginners. 2. DRINK WATER Basic? Duh. But trading your daily Big Gulp for a few glasses of H20 saves hundreds of calories that will be better spent on that free pizza theyre handing out at the library. And if you need the caffeine for class, its called black coffee, k? 3. MAKE FIT FRIENDS If your new BFFLs prefer hitting the gym to hitting the buffet, odds are youll join inwithout feeling like youre missing out on any shenanigans.
WARRIO FACE RS UR :S O T
4. AVOID ELASTIC WAISTBANDS We know youre stoked to wear your pajamas to class, but every once in awhile try on something un-elastic to ensure those midnight snacks arent sneaking up on you. 5. DRINK RESPONSIBLY They dont call it a beer belly for nothing. If youre going to drink, do so in moderation and use low-cal mixers like club soda, you skinny bitches.

THOU SHALL: PRACTICE SAFE SEX Weve said it once, well say it again: use protection. Plan B shouldnt be your Plan A, aight?
1.
THOU SHALT NOT: HAVE A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP All the airline miles in the world arent going to help you avoid the temptation of a post-tequila 2 a.m. booty call, so do yourself and your lover a favor and put that puppy love on pause.
2.
THOU SHALL: HIT UP THE SALAD BAR No ones gained the fabled freshman 15 from fennel or the sophomore 17 via spinach, so suck it up and trade that greasy pizza for some low-cal kale, mmkay?
5.
THOU SHALT NOT: HIBERNATE IN THY DORM ALL DAY We get ityour dorms got it all: TVa mini fridgea roommate who hopefully doesnt hate youbut it doesnt count as college if you dont have some awesome experiences. Youll need stories to tell your friends back home, after all, and they shouldnt involve Ben and Jerry.
8.
THOU SHALL: DISCOVER THYSELF Free from hometown friends and pushy parents, these are four years where you can experiment and do, basically, whatever the hell youve always wanted to do, sans judgment. We just hope youve got a solid buffer zone to avoid the dreaded parental pop-in.
9.

3. THOU SHALL: GO TO CLASS Its 50 minutes of your day and you wont get screwed via missed pop quiz if you actually show up, so get your ass out of bed, ya dig?
THOU SHALT NOT: 4. TAKE TOO MANY HOURS Were sorryare you trying to kill yourself?! Chill out, overachiever unless youre taking classes like pottery or power walking, dont get carried away with your course load.
THOU SHALT NOT: 6. STRESS ABOUT A FEW EXTRA POUNDS But if you DID indulge at the buffet, heyits okay! Until they invent calorie-free cocktails, were all destined to gain a few alcoholinduced LBs come college anyway. THOU SHALL: JOIN ORGANIZATIONS The fastest way to nd friends? Hit up potential homies with the same interests as you. With thousands of new faces, theres a bounty of BFF potentialwhether your interests are lacrosse, literatureor LARPing.
THOU SHALT NOT: CHOOSE A MAJOR ONE DOES NOT WANT Whether youre being pressured into pre-med, encouraged to do engineering or, for some reason, feel an obligation to opt for underwater basket weaving, stop and drop that major. Being undecided for a few semesters is a lot better than being miserable for a lifetime.

Talk about a risqu resume! Student and phone actress Cynthia Cannon dishes on her sexy part-time job and what its like making money by talking dirty
CYNTHIA 3 ,2 CANNON
n: Hometow X T , Santa Fe r: Majo nd Theatre a h c n Fre
Some people will use the term phone actress its generally accepted to be phone sex operator. I mean, it is what it is. ere is somewhat of a stigma to itany sex industry job has itbut its the best one. No diseases, not actually touching anything. If I were going to put it on a resume, I would probably use phone actress.
Immensely, yesit must help having some acting experience, thinking on your toes. Because thats all it is. I never know what to expect. If its a 10-minute call, I dont have as long to create a story, so I have to think Okay, quick, Im gonna think of how Im gonna get you o right now. And you have these scripts in your head, and theyre all generallyfellatio, having sex, anal sex, frictiongood times.
How did you get into it?
exists because its on the fringes of society, its taboo, no one wants to talk about itSo I really enjoy sex, and sex sells, so I just got it in my headespecially because Im going to Texas State and I need a job. Its pretty perfect for me. I can sit at home, I can research, I can read plays[and] make dudes cum in between, ya know?
So youre on multiple phone sex websites. How many characters do you do the voices for?
I would put it on my acting resume, actually, because I think its relevant. I act, I build these characters, I improvso I think its experience.
I dont even know. I remember watching this movie and there was a badass bitch and she was a phone sex operator. Its sort of this job where you hear about it but you dont even know it
I have 13 characters, but some of the girls have up to 20 characters because theyve been there
PHOTO: KAITLYN CLEMENT
You have these scripts in your head, and theyre all generally fellatio, having sex frictiongood times.
So youve got incest, rape, murderthese are pretty taboo topics. Does that make you uncomfortable or do you just see it as another acting job?
Ya know at rst, some of the things made me a little uncomfortable. Likeokay. Gasp. But at least theyre just talking on the phone and not actually raping and murdering. Its sort of weird, but you just take it in stride. Its all fantasy, its a just-for-fun kinda thing. Im there to be supportive of them and their weird, twisted thoughts, and thats what we sell to them: you can be comfortable with us if you cant talk about it with other people. Its ne here. So thats pretty cool. Its interesting in that aspect. A little uncomfortable, but still pretty awesome.
Whats the most outrageous thing anyones ever asked you to door, I guess, talk about doing?
Beastialitynot as common, but sometimes you get emand those are weird. I dont have these stories in my head, and it wasnt a character choice I made. I dont have a background for a lot of them. But [on one call, the caller] was likein not so many wordsI wanna hear a beastiality story. So I was like, alright, [this character is] Australian. eres a lot of sheep thereI guess Ill talk about sheep. So, yeah, thats a little bit outrageous. I had a couple calls the other night, and they were so intense, they actually made my voice hurt. One guy talked to me for a long time, and he just wanted me to be submissive and beg to be beaten and beg for his cock and stu He wanted me to spank myself, so I just hit my thigh. Sound e ectstheyre fun. I can make it sound like Im sucking a really mean cock on the phoneOne guy wanted me to puke, so I put water in a pitcher and some chunks of bread and pieces of cucumber and poured it in the toilet. Its pretty funny.
Is there anything in particular thats really creeped you out?
Its pretty tame, but this guy IMd me and said, My wife is at work, and I want someone hotter and better, and I want you to talk shit about her on the call. I was like God, I cant deal with this, thats the saddest thing Ive ever heard at disturbed me in a depressing sense, but the other stu I dont know, I feel like Im sort of morbid and demented. My mom used to read Stephen King to me as a small child, so Im pretty desensitized to most things, and my family is pretty open.
You said you enjoy it. Whats your favorite part?
longer and theyre more experienced. eyre more in demand. But average is 12-15 characters per girl.
Will you describe a few of the sites youre on?
[One is] like the incest phone sex, really taboo, daddy-daughter, fatherson, cousinstotally weird, f-ked up shit that you dont want to tell your wife about but you think about sometimes. And then theres also [another] thats mostly age play, barely legal teensand also, the newest website has sort of murder-rape phone sex fantasiesreally violent phone sex operators that wanna help you go through your fantasy in that manner. Its really dark, demented kind of thingsfun. (laughs)
Its easyIts perfect for me, because Im a homebody. All I want to do is sit at home, and cook and read and, when I have kids, put all my energy into them. Im glad I found it now because I can get myself established, and when I have children, I can just forever be a stayat-home phone-sex mom.
How does your boyfriend feel about it?
My boyfriend is pretty proud of me, and I think it adds to my sex appeal, anyways.He tells people about it. He doesnt shout it from the rooftops, butwe were at someones house and I had to log in and hes like Alright, weve gotta go. Shes gotta make dudes cum!
Well, my mom thinks its awesome. My dad also thinks its awesome. My familys really proud of me, my friends are really proud of meI havent put it on Facebook because Im not into that anyway. Also, Im friends with some of the girls I work with, and some of them dont want their families to know, so I have to be careful when I post. Its pretty funnymyself and another girl are, quote on quote, the freaks, because everyone else is pretty tame, pretty vanilla. Like a lot of girls, theyre not into sexy stu , but they still manage to dish out all these fantasies, and theyre really good. I can do it, because Im ne with it. eyre ne with it too, but [theyre] churchgoingthey dont swallowya know, those types of girls.
Can you walk us through a call?
Maybe like 1520. Its possible to make upwards of six, seven hundred dollars.
Wow. So would you recommend this job to other students trying to make some money?
I log into a chat room and I log in my characters to say theyre available. en I just sit and wait for calls. My phone will ring, I answer it, it tells me what character, [and] I say hello in whatever voice. I tell them that its gonna be billed discreetly so they dont have to worry, and they give me their credit card. And then we talk. I usually start o with So, what brings you around to my part of town? or ya know, something stupidWhat gets you o ? And then we have a calldepends on what they want and how it goes. And at the end of their time, I ask if they want to add more. en I hang up and wait for the next one.
Any tricks of the trade?
I would de nitely recommend it. In the industry theres a big demand for young-sounding voices. I mean, obviously there are kinks that involve grandmas and cougars and stu , but a lot of dudesbecause its taboo, because its illegal, because you cant do itwanna hear a young voice. [And you have to] have the stomach for it. Its really just about being really comfortable with your sexuality and not being put o by weird, twisted fantasiesbecause thats all they are: its just fantasy. Its not real. And what they do on their own time, you dont have any control over that.
Is there any phone call etiquette for sex lines that customers should know?
Just being accommodating, I think. Some guys dont want you to be; some guys want you to treat them like shit. But even in treating them like shit, you have to be accommodating You have to put yourself in the mind of that character. Like the little girls, theyre not gonna use words like cunt. eyre gonna use, like, cunnyand clitty bittycutesy words like that, so you just have to know your audience.
Do you ever get turned on while youre doing it?
UNCENSORED
I mean, occasionally. Its not really that sexual for me; its a job. But if Im into it, just feelin horny that day and takin calls, ya know[Ill] start rubbin my breasts. And it helps me get into it, even. Its easy to fake, but its sort of a method.
So how much do you get paid?
Yeah: just go for it. ese girls on the other line are experiencedmost of them are not these nave little ingnues. You dont have to worry; theyre here to take care of you of your needs. Be as speci c as you need to be [to get] what you paid for, but dont feel awkward. Cause theyre notIm notthere to feel awkward. If someone is trying to explain to me and Im not really getting itwell, lets communicate a little better, and well gure out what gets you o .
Just like real sex.
People dont realize that phone sex operators are pretty mundane and normal people. A lot of people think all the girls are really hot, young women, and most of them are not. Obviously there are some, but some are in their fties and have three kids or whatever. eyre just regular people.
Pretty much. Its true. But communication is important in all aspects of life, and nobody needs to forget that.

SEPTEMBER LINE-UP
9/25
MAYER HAWTHORNE W/ SUPERHUMANOIDS @ EMOS Retro soul preservationist Mayer Hawthorne has skyrocketed to fame ever since he released his rst single (on a red, heart-shaped vinyl) entitled Just Aint Gonna Work Out. Since then, his sound has traveled quickly through time, evolving from vintage R&B to a more 70s inspired soul (a la Steely Dan) laced with hip-hop inuence. He made an appearance in Austin at what was formally Beauty Ballroom last year, and this month hes back with LA pop trio, Superhumanoids. So snag some tickets, download The Walk, and get ready to get funky.

TIP WELL
Just the tipjust to see how it feels. It's basic, but these people hook you up with drinks, so dont be an asshole, aight? Dig deep, dont be cheap, and MAKE IT RAIN.
