Whether it is summer or winter, I see all sorts of students flashing their toes, followed by the slip slap sounds of the ever-favorite flip flop sandal. They’re like the socially acceptable slipper. People slip them on because it’s quick, and (I suppose) comfortable to wear. And, because of their popularity, there are numerous colors and styles for everyone to choose from.

There have been so many articles lately about ditching idealism for hard-nosed practicality in college. Even though you have every reason to focus your energy on preparing for a career, from financial to the increasing competition in your chosen field (which should be business or engineering according to the practical-minded), consider these reasons for why you should use college to expand your mind while exploring your career options.

Are we students nothing more than a commodity, a wad of cash in the pocket of our colleges and universities who tempt us with promises of prestige and then toss most of us aside in order to foster younger, fresher meat? It’s hard not to see myself this way: as someone who was duped into doing what I love (writing) and having to make incredible sacrifices for a paltry salary. I’m not bitter about it…yet.

So, I set out to find the origin of Women’s Day, and to find the answer to the question: Do we really need one?

My interning days are (hopefully) over, but a classmate of mine is in her junior year and gearing up for the biggest internship of her life. The one she’s set on, is the most amazing opportunity I’ve ever heard of and I thought I should share it with my fellow students. Check out the information, and if you think she’s worthy vote for her this year, because next year it could be you and that would be pretty awesome.

MTV’s “16 and Pregnant” is a new guilty pleasure of mine but is it sensationalizing teen pregnancy? Read my opinion and comment with yours!

ave you played Foursquare yet? I started playing last week as an experiment and am starting to see that it could have disastrous consequences based on a new Web site called Please Rob Me.com. This Web site takes all your Twitter Foursquare updates and links them to a main site that reminds us how easy it is for potential burglars to realize that well-light homes aren’t always occupied.

You may have heard a few brief reasons why the universities have raised tuition and are planning another 34% increase this fall. But if you’re like me, the whole business of budget cuts and tuition increases is confusing. And the reasons behind the student protests happening today at UC campuses are even more confusing – because it isn’t just that students are angry at having to pay more money. There is a lot more to it than that. Let me break it down for you as it was broken down for me.
