Retail Hell

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Most of this account is true, except for the things I've lied about. I'll let you figure out what parts are true, and what parts are lies, or else what would be the fun in lying about them? All names of individuals and companies have been changed so I won't get fired, or piss-off my friends�perhaps I'll omit them all together and rant instead, I haven't decided yet.

Student Soldiers

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

'All You Need is LOVE'

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

No one can argue that there is plenty of love in Las Vegas, whether it is from a casino entourage, a slot machine or a card table, or even more appropriate, a random person in a bar. However, there has never been love in Vegas like The Beatle's "LOVE," a Cirque du Soleil at the Mirage.

Vote or Die

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

It is going to be a banner year for Politics in 2008. In a crowded field where there is no real front-runner, each vote will be a call to action to forge a new path, Republican or Democrat. However, who really cares? If you actually vote, you are probably either red or blue through and through.

The Debt Diet for Students

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

If there is any diet resolution made in the year 2008 it should be a debt diet. Forget about carbs, trans fat, and even exercising. This year, cut down on you're spending intake and high cost APRs. By following these guidelines, and utilizing these credit card tips, you will certainly find that you're jeans don't fit as well or that you might need a bigger purse because you're wallet is getting fatter - and that's a good thing.

A Psychadelic Renaissance Yields to No One

Wed, 30 Apr 2008 04:00:00 GMT

It's the burial ground for hostility and normality, and the reincarnation of love, sound, and energy.
It's like a black fly on America's chardonnay.
It's a place where ecstasy is the motor.
It's a rave

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Professor Paul Lester's evening Communications 300 class meets every Monday and Wednesday at 7 p.m. Students attend class at California State University, Fullerton and sit in on lectures. "It's a bit different," says Lester.

My Story: Paris in the OC

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

I have gone through all the things many foreign students go through. It is very hard to adapt to another culture and a different lifestyle. It has now been five years since I came to America and I wanted to go back to France for the first three of them. I came to America in the middle of the year, and I expected it to be exactly like the T.

Young Lovers

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Walking down the aisle is a landmark moment for most people. The dress, the bouquet, all of your friends and family watching the union of you and the one you love. Then after that, what have you got left to look forward to? Maybe graduation from high school?

Statistics report that more than 50 percent of teen marriages fail within the first 15 years.

Work Hard for Your Money

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

The occupational world has much to offer, with increasing multitudes of jobs and opportunities. This is extremely true in the world of college students who have yet to discover a career that they can call their own. Interestingly enough, Colleges today are not only providing academic fields to advance careers, but they are also providing opportunities to gain experience in occupations as well.

Different Worlds

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Before coming to Fullerton College, most international students have an idea of what it will be like. Knowing that FC is located in Orange County, many students that come to FC from another country imagine the beautiful people with money and mansions who live on the beach and have amazing lives in a place where it never rains.

Hoe Down!

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Hoe. Hoe. Hoe. Along with the holiday season we just dealt with, Supercross (a dirt biking competition) is starting up.

Supercross is an amazing race between professional motocross racers and their motorcycles. Unfortunately, what comes along with the sport is quite sad.

The Problems of the Fourteenth Grade

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

I really like America. I like it a lot, as it turns out. We've got a cool flag and cool songs and some really awesome history (if you don't believe me, check it out - the founding fathers were total bad-asses.) But mostly what I like about America is that, as an adult, no one can really tell you what do do.

Pattern Recognition

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Fullerton College fashion students don't spend their time sitting around considering fashion, they spend their time creating it.

On Campus: Television

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Accessible Anthropology:
With a world filled with CSI's and murder mystery television, we wondered what a real expert of bones and forensics has to say about current television and reality-take-over T.V. So, we looked no further than our own campus to seek the opinion of Janaki Parikh, a barefooted anthropology professor with sophistication and a thing for aliens and Harry Potter.

On Campus: Music

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:00:00 GMT

Mind Over Music:
Doug Kresse may be one of the coolest professors on campus, though you may not realize it because he teaches two of least "cool" subjects in college- speech and debate. However, he has received a very creditable reputation for being quite knowledgeable when it comes to hip, indie music and what's hot in the industry.
