I’ve been pondering a great deal recently in regards to some of the amazingly outstanding, unreal, unforgettable, insurmountable, mind boggling, outrageous, and (insert any and all known adjectives here) memories and experiences I’ve been through over the past couple years that I’ve been a student at the one and only Arizona State University. From bewilderingly high priced text books at the ASU bookstore, Strikingly poor (and this is being kind) English skills put on display by too many TAs to count, and sketchy at best grading policies imp
lemented by nutty professors, to incomparable food selection, beautiful women (handsome young men if you’re a girl), and national championship sports teams, there’s none that can compete with the reality and hype of ASU.
That said, I’ve decided to start this blog for all those who hold a special place in their heart for Arizona State University. Let us come together as one and enjoy the sharing of everything ASU has to offer. Whether you’re a sports fan, science nerd, StatePress critic, Athlete, Teacher, or Mr. Crow himself, I hope you find joy, excitement, bitterness, good ideas, and, if nothing else, controversy in the posts and news that will be updated, hopefully quite often, on this site. This is a public site so feel free to comment and leave your mark, but please refrain from all forms of profanity and ill manners as we would like all to be able to enjoy the reading. If you like what you see, tell your friends and allow them to indulge as well. Also, feel free to email your ideas for new stories and anything you’d like to hear about.

Recently named the “Best Alternative Media Outlet” by USNEWS, CollegeOTR is quickly becoming the #1 must-read daily destination for college students nationwide. Now, we’re offering the opportunity for you to get paid to act as your campus’ Editor-In-Chief, and launch an OTR blog covering your school.
OTR features the best of everything happening on campus and the surrounding area. Students contribute “On The Record” posts capturing the funniest, sexiest, craziest local happenings: outrageous campus activities, sports highlights, Greek life, offbeat news and more.
We’ll select one Editor-In-Chief per campus and pay them $100 a month for coordinating at least three blog posts per week (Monday-Friday) - you can write your own posts, or source them from other students (if you do recruit other people at your school to blog, their posts contribute to your required 12 per month).
You don’t have to be a stiff English major or a Journalism pro to apply, but you do need to have an engaging personality, active social life, and a strong desire to create a blog your campus wants to read every day.
If you think you’ve got what it takes, send three sample posts (including a picture and up to 250 words of text per post) to Tracy@CollegeOTR.com
