So after five long years, this is what it comes down to. I’ve got about two more weeks before I graduate, and find myself tossed into the post-graduate world. I have to say that I’ve had an eventful time here at Irvine. The school definitely lives up to its reputation, as the campus I leave behind looks quite different from the one I entered as a freshman. I like to think that I’ve had a pretty encompassing experience here. I’ve lived in Middle Earth, Campus Village, Vista Del Campo Norte, Stanford and was eventually forced to move back home for a year and taste commuter life, so I’ve encountered varied aspects of the school that many may never know.
A long time ago, in an elementary school far, far away, I was but a little youngling spending my time with my friends dreaming of starships and lightsabers as we scurried around the playground of our school during recesses.
There's something that's been bugging me for the past few weeks. Ever since the release of "Watchmen," I've seen a lot of people and critics continuously belittling the film. I come before you now to say: really? You're saying that "Watchmen" was disappointing? Now, let's be clear. Yes, the graphic novel was better. Of course it was. The book is always better.
Headlining Bamboozle Left on Sunday night at Irvine's Verizon Wireless Amphitheater, 50 Cent brings the crowd to its feet with hits including "In Da Club" and "Wanksta."
For the past year or so now we've heard about this "change" thing floating about. But I propose that we've borne witness to a change even more drastic and far-reaching than anything else before: the integration of the nerd culture into the mainstream. But when did this happen? And how could such a revolutionary change go unnoticed? There are many factors, but I tend to believe that it all started in 1997. It was in this year that Square released "Final Fantasy VII."
Illinois impeaches Blago; Neo-Nazis clean up highway in Kansas; Navy trains Flipper to hunt scuba-diving terrorists; all House Republicans vote against stimulus package (which passes anyways).
Members of the jazz sextet performing at Anthill Pub's "Interactions," held the first Thursday of every month, take a break from performing to catch a glimpse of a football game.

UC Irvine hosts the Walk to Cure Diabetes charity event to raise money and awareness for the syndrome on Sunday Nov. 9. Hundreds of supporters from all over Southern California came to campus to show their support.
When you restrict access to contraceptives, you affect the foundation of strong families. According to a recent National Public Radio report, nearly 750,000 teenagers will become pregnant this year and three out of every 10 American girls will get pregnant at least once before they hit their 20th birthday. That's a lot of teen pregnancies.
