Breakfast on the Go: Making Your Morning With French Toast

Breakfast is usually the one meal of the day that nobody wants to bother spending time to prepare. And yet it’s the most important meal of the day. Why? Because your body has gone through 7-8 hours without any source of nutrition or energy, so you need that meal when you wake up to turn into energy for the morning. Otherwise, you can count on falling asleep during German 150.

101 Reasons To Get Up and Go!

At this very moment on Post-it notes across campus, people are making to-do lists, from chores like vacuuming, taking out the trash and reminders to finally catch up on reading for class.

Kicking it With Gym Class Heroes

Matt McGiney is the drummer for the hit punk-rap band Gym Class Heroes, which made its splash on the pop charts with “Cupid’s Chokehold.” After going gold with their first album, Gym Class came back with “The Quilt.” The album features the hit song “Cookie Jar,” with artist The Dream.

Life, Love & Lust

Life at UC Irvine is rough without a car — especially if you’re just starting out as a freshman living in a dorm. Compound that with trying to get a handle on the real-life dating world and you’ve got a picture-perfect dilemma on your hands.

Disappearing Libraries

By the age of ten, I ran away with the Boxcar children, fought alien species with the Animorphs, traveled through a wardrobe to Narnia and attended Hogwarts with Harry, Ron and Hermione. I was an orphan, a superhero, an adventurer and a witch.

The Best Way to Get To Know a Foreign Country: Be Homeless

Greetings from Lyon, France, where I have been homeless for the last month. Well, kind of. The EAP Full Immersion Program in Lyon, France warned participants of two things: classes are taught in French and housing is not provided.

Non – Mastery of the Master Cleanse: A Lesson in Starvation

I’m going to start by saying that for the past three months, my family has been in official “wedding mode.” My uncle is getting married and everyone in the family is rushing to make sure the big day goes smoothly. They’re also doing everything they can to make sure they look good on the day of the wedding, when they will forever be immortalized in photographs.

Olive Tree Initiative Revelations in Israel

Conflict and violence have been a part of the human condition since we first crawled out of the sea (or woke up in the Garden of Eden, depending on your narrative). I ask you, dear Reader, to keep this in mind as you read on, and to remember this is my own personal perspective.
