I need some help with a difficult assignment for one of my classes about public health in the public space.

Monochrome Ace of Spades

Some of my friends here at school enjoy gambling. I’ve never been all that into gambling, so I’m not super familiar with the games or the culture, or anything. I was kind of surprised to learn that my friends do the vast majority of their gambling online. I suppose it’s more convenient that way, but … Read more

Crash Course On San Diego Extracurriculars

Outdoor sign that reads “San Diego – America’s Finest City”

I need some guidance. I’m a senior expecting to graduate this coming May with a degree in sociology. I’ve already been accepted into UCSD to get a master’s degree, which means I’ll be moving fairly soon after commencement.

The Busy Person’s Guide to Healthy Eating

Fresh assortment of colorful vegetables organized neatly inside a basket

I want to eat healthier, but I find that I just don’t have to time. I have an off-campus apartment, so I was hoping that this year I’d be cooking a lot for myself and making myself eat better than I have before, but it just hasn’t worked out that way. I’m busy, I’m tired, … Read more

Coding and Careers

I’m not majoring in computer science–or any technology-related subject, actually. I’m an English major.

I could use a second opinion. I’m a senior expecting to graduate in a couple months with a degree in psychology and a minor in childhood development. I was originally planning to go into social services, but having investigated much more about it while searching for jobs, I’ve decided that it probably isn’t right for … Read more

Young People and Vaping

A man with eyes closed, exhales a cloud of vape smoke

What’s with “vaping?” Is it just me, or has it become way more popular with my generation as we’ve been growing up? I know people younger than me who vape, and a few who are a few years older, but it seems to me that nobody my parents’ age is vaping. Is it a generational … Read more

Graduation Gift

I could use some help. My older brother is graduating in May with his degree in biology. He’s been a pretty flawless student throughout college, which paid off, since he was accepted into a bioinformatics program at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. Our whole family is incredibly proud of him, especially our grandma … Read more

Real Estate and Rentals

I’m curious about real estate and renting. I’m not so much wondering about the renter’s side of the bargain–as a college student, I’m already living that part. I’m more curious about the idea of owning a property and renting it out in order to make money. It seems to me that in areas like ours, … Read more

The Power of Logos

A hand laid across several sheets of paper with assorted logos

I found myself buying a shirt with a logo on it the other day, and I realized I was paying more to have the little emblem on my chest when I wear the shirt. I actually pay more to show off this shirt company’s brand, and I’m happy to do it! That got me thinking: … Read more
