BUSINESS STUDENTS ENJOY CHRISTMAS BREAK WITH A SPANISH TWIST!

Friends having fun

Most people would think that studying in a business school means interactive high-tech classes, taxing project works, internships, campus placement stress, etc. But, that’s not all for the Rockhurst students studying in the Helzberg School of Management. A group of students from the business school had a wonderful Christmas break with a Spanish twist. They set out for their 12 day trip to Barcelona, Spain on the 1st of January.

This fun trip was actually a part of their academic curriculum. The MG 3091 course which teaches about Global Issues in Business/Culture requires the students to take up a foreign trip in order to learn about the different culture, heritage and lifestyle that people enjoy. As a part of the program, about 20 to 30 students and a few Rockhurst professors make a Spain trip that enables the students to get to know their scenery, business, life and culture.

WHAT ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS YEAR’S BARCELONA TRIP?

This year, the trip was organized for 12 days and the student group was accompanied by Dr. Pete Bicak, the professor of Communication (also Department Chair of Communications and Fine Art) and Dr. Jeremy O’Connor, the assistant professor of management.

This educational trip comprised of various planned activities that are culture and education focused. One morning, the student group visited a small village that is located at the outskirts of Barcelona to learn about a textile company named Punto Blanco that is situated there.

Upon their arrival, the students were taken around the factory so that they can take a closer look at the complete manufacturing process of the company’s luxury socks starting from yarn to packaging stage.

Besides the informative and educational part of the trip, the students also get to closely watch and understand the beauty of the city and its complex architectural structures developed by one of the world famous architects named Antoni Gaudí.

Among the various activities was also an amazing audio-visual tour of the architectural wonder – La SagradaFamilia and Casa Batllo. Both these beautiful structures in Barcelona are masterpieces by Gaudí.

The best part about this education trip by business students is that in almost each year, it gets overlapped with one of the most celebrated holidays in Spain known as the Día de Los Reyes, or the Three Kings Day. While on their trip, the business students get the opportunity to enjoy the first-hand experience of the festivities. They can attend the city parade that is organized outside the magic fountain, Font Mágica.

The fun yet educational trip that is geared towards the overall developed of the students’ personality is made possible by a Jesuit institution which is situated in Barcelona. The institution’s professors join the Rockhurst students to enjoy the educational activities. They also conduct various business lectures.

WHAT DO THE STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY?

Besides knowing the culture and getting to attend lectures, the students also get to enjoy sports and other entrainment. For Alex Mitchell, the best part of the entire trip was the FC Barcelona game. Those who interest in history and culture had a great time discovering the rich artwork at the Museu Nacional d’Arte de Catalunya and the Picasso Museum.

Every once in a while, we all get this adrenaline rush when we see people traveling to beautiful places, meeting new people and having fun. Traveling is something that everybody loves. You don’t need a reason to travel but, when you do, your world gets better. Here is a list of reasons why you should give yourself this treat:

  • Liberating: Traveling alone or in groups is liberating. You get to know yourself better. You get to spend time with yourself or loved ones which seems impossible given your schedule. Traveling helps you outgrow your shyness and lets you be yourself. It gives us the power of freedom and enjoyment that we often lose in our day-to-day lives.
  • Novelty: A change of place is extremely important every once in a while. We often feel suffocated and closed when we live in the same place and follow the same routine for too long. When we see new people and places, it makes a lot of difference – inside and out.
  • Culture: This is probably the best reason to travel. We get to learn about so many different cultures by traveling to new places. We get to build our knowledge about new languages, new traditions, festivals and art. Traveling is like a celebration of life. And once you travel to new places, you realize why it is talked about so much. It educates you like no book ever will.
  • Culinary: Traveling helps us to try different cuisines of different places and that is a whole other world of enjoyment. Any experience is good experience, they say. And when you try different food items at different places, it helps you gain better judgment along with enjoyment.
  • Self-Satisfaction: When you travel, you somewhere satisfy your inner self. You help it explore places and ideas that would otherwise have rotten inside of it. Traveling helps you become a better person, as a whole. It helps you in being a polite and a sensitive person.
  • Broad-minded: Traveling broadens your horizons. It makes you gain a lot of perspectives and gives you the chance to learn to see things from other peoples’ point of view. It helps you gain a conscience and at the same time, changes the way you think about a lot of things.
  • Independent: The best part about traveling is that it makes you independent. It gives you the freedom to be who you want to be and just the way you want it to be. The more you travel, the more you lose dependence on others.

Traveling changes you for the good. It helps you know yourself better and gives you an opportunity to make yourself even better. It improves you. It strengthens you. It brightens you in so many ways that you may not even notice. But, in the long run, traveling to places makes you see the world from a different perspective and also lets the world see you differently.

Tips For Traveling

Whenever you are traveling, there are certain things that you have to keep in mind. It wouldn’t matter if you are a frequent traveler or you are traveling for the first time; there are certain things that you should always remember every time you travel. Here are a few healthy tips that you can follow while traveling:

  • Keep a backup:

If you are traveling to a new place, make sure you have a backup of all your documents in addition to what you carry in your bag. This will be of great convenience if by mistake you lose any of your documents like passport, visa, travel papers, etc. in a foreign land. Maintain the habit of keeping a backup and carry it safely whenever you travel.

  • Splurge in check:

Sometimes, with the excitement of being in a new place, we go overboard with the spending. You should always see to it that you are spending in your limit so that you don’t end up being broke in a foreign country.

  • Volunteer:

You can always try to volunteer for social causes when you are in a different place. This will help you help others and make contacts with them. Also, this will make others think good of you, which can always come in handy.

  • Maintain notes:

Keep writing no matter how hard you find it. Even if you don’t find the time to do it, make the time. When you maintain a diary with you while travelling, it helps you keep memories safe. It is like storage of your happiness and who wouldn’t want to do that? Write about the things you have seen, the people that you have met or the food you have eaten and this will fill you with a great energy.

  • Stay in touch:

No matter where you go, any place can get a little lonely sometimes. You should always be in touch with your family and your friends. This will not only help them know that you are fine, but you too will gain the knowledge of how they are. Not every day, but you should contact your people back home once or twice every week.

  • Broad Minded:

When you are traveling to a different place, things are not going to be the same as your native place. You must accept that. Don’t be too keen on judging people quickly. You should try to give them time, be patient and learn to talk to them before you make quick calls about their lifestyle. Keep an open mind and let the change kick in and more importantly always have a positive attitude. Don’t let the change bring you down or bring any kind of negative influence on your travel.

  • Patience:

Don’t spoil your day or your mood merely because you missed a train or a bus. There will always be another one. You are not going to be lost. Enjoy and be calm.

All You Need to Know About Your Skin

Woman with beautiful skin.

There are five main types of skin namely normal, dry, oily sensitive or combination.

• Healthy Skin – You must know that you are extremely blessed if you have normal skin. Normal skin boasts of a perfect balance and contains the right amount of lipids and water in it. Such a skin has very little or almost no imperfections and does not suffer from any kind of sensitivity. The pores are barely visible on it, and the woman who has normal skin has a radiant complexion!

• Dry Skin – Dry skin is prone to flaking, peeling, cracking or even becoming irritated, itchy and inflamed. A person suffering from dry skin has small or invisible pores, a rough and dry complexion, red patches of the skin, reduced elasticity and more visible lines. Dry skin is generally a result of changes in hormones or age, genetics, being exposed to extreme weather conditions and taking long showers with hot water. It can also be a result of excessive consumption of too many medicines.

• Oily Skin – Oily skin occurs when too much oil or lipids are secreted by the skin glands. It produces enlarged pores, blackheads, and spots and makes the complexion look dull or shiny. The degree of oiliness that you experience on your skin changes with the change in weather and climate. Moreover, oil skin worsens when the individual undergoes stress, too much exposure to heat or humidity or any type of hormonal change.

• Combination Skin – Women who suffer from combination skin experience both dry and oily skin at the same times. Their T-zone that comprises of the forehead, nose and chin area is seen to be oily while the rest of the face is dry. In such a scenario, one needs to use different types of skin care products on different areas. One can experience blackheads, shiny skin, and highly dilated pores.

• Sensitive Skin – The skin can become sensitive due to numerous reasons with the most common reason being the use of a particular skin care product that did not suit the skin. People who suffer from sensitive skin experience redness, burning, itching and dryness on a regular basis. The oil present in sensitive skin clogs the skin pores and allows skin bacteria to overgrow causing acne or similar skin issues.

When it comes to choosing skin care products, you really need to take your skin type into consideration and also understand what it truly means. If your skin comes under the normal, dry, oil, combination and sensitive categories, you can choose your products easily but if you suffer from other skin problems your issues, your skin type gets affected.

If you suffer from sun damaged skin, acne, fine lines, wrinkles or eczema then you need to be quite careful about choosing your skin products or you might end up causing more harm to the skin than good. Moreover, the weather, your stress levels, and environmental factors also play a vital role in your skin’s quality and type.

The reason you need to analyze these factors and choose your products accordingly is that different skin types and problems need different products with unique formulations. Also, if you are experiencing more than one skin issue such as acne with sun damage, blemishes on an oily skin or sensitive skin with wrinkles, then you need to be again careful about choosing the right product. There are external and internal elements that impact your skins look and give rise to certain issues and problems. Analyzing these factors help evaluate the skin issue or problem as it might happen that it is these very factors that are causing the problem and can be solved with due care and right use of products. Factors influencing the skin type and issues.

• Hormones
• Disorders in the skin
• Genes
• Smoking
• Extensive diet
• Medications
• Improper skin care routines
• Using harmful products
• Stress
• Excessive sun exposure
• Being exposed to pollution
• Extreme climate conditions

The reason Orogold stresses so much on using natural ingredients is that many a times we do not realize that it is the harmful products we are using that create or worsen our skin problems. For example, if the product you are using to treat acne contains alcohol, menthol or peppermint in it, it will dry up the skin, irritate it and increase the acne instead of lessening it!

Thick-textured products or overly-emollients clog the skin pores, prevent skin cells from getting exfoliated and result in dull and tired looking skin. Scrubbing the skin too much damages the skin barrier thereby causing wrinkles. Avoid the following ingredients in your skin care products to stay safe.

• Alcohol
• Thick emollients
• Menthol
• Waxes that clog skin pores
• Artificial fragrances
• Abrasive scrubs
• Organic and synthetic irritants
