Like many people our age, I suffer from a little thing called FOMO (otherwise known as the “Fear of Missing Out”). This fear is what drives me to sacrifice sleep to spend time with friends, binge-watch every show someone recommends to me on Netflix and attempt to check out handfuls of books every time I go the library — I want to experience it all. Perhaps it was this fear that drove me to do Semester at Sea in the first place.

So after meeting volleyball coach Mary Tendler, the twins were convinced she was recruiting them to come play at Elon University in Arizona. “We had to do a little background to find it was in North Carolina,” Danielle Smith said.

They lean toward the sliding door in front of them, where, on the other side, a handful of chickens nervously peck at company shop fruits and vegetables that didn’t make it to the register in time. Back inside, Eric Henry, wearing a gray shirt reading “TS Designs,” works on a PowerPoint at his desk.

A number of Elon's religious organizations partnered with the Kernodle Center for Service Learning to sponsor a clothing drive event called BBQ for Warm Clothing on Friday. It was an event hosted in Moseley's Student Center Kitchen, and it was intended to motivate people to donate warm clothing for Alamance County's Allied Churches Homeless Shelter. Participants who donated clothing received a free BBQ sandwich or veggie burger in return. The idea started with Alec French, adjunct professor in Health and Human performance, who made a proposal to the students in Elon's Baptist Association to collect warm clothing for the local homeless shelter. French said this was the first time they'd planned an event like this to encourage people to donate. There are currently a number of clothing bins in the Numen Lumen Pavilion, Koury Athletic Center, Koury Business Center, Campus Recreation Common Area, Hillel House and CCM Newman center. French is one of the people in charge of keeping up with the bins. "A few days [ago], the bins were empty," said French.
