I think knowing you're beautiful within is the first step, and second is not being scared to be yourself. I started my own blog (Tailored-by Tizah) which is all about recycling style and being fashionable on a budget. I began coordinating photo shoots and use social media to inspire and teach others how to express themselves through fashion. Working at Plata's Closet has given me hands on experience, inspiration, and allows one to find what's new in the fashion industry for the right price.

What is your favorite part of being an employee at BTB?
My favorite part of being an employee here, as cheesy as it may sound, is being able to help kids find the books they need, or even the books they don't need but might want. When a freshman walks through our doors at the beginning of the fall semester, the overwhelmed expression on their face is unmistakable. Helping them through the process--the buying books part, the selling books part, the renting part, etc., is a lot of fun. Over the years, we've had some real characters working at the bookstore, and that's been a blast as well. War stories galore!

there have been consequences in both his personal and professional life. When the Lawrence Journal-World recently published a story on the subject, Bavel's son, who lives in Lawrence, was asked about the accusations at work.
Aside from the accusations affecting his personal life, Bavel has also become slightly more cautious when it comes to meeting with students to help them outside of class, though he's tried to continue to provide as much assistance as possible.
"Now, anytime a student asks to sit next to me in a booth, I'll refuse." Bavel said. "However,
While Bavel continues to be passionate about teaching at KU, he said decisions like these were typical of the University.
