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.

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.

Caitlin Sanders, a fourth year Criminology and Political Science double major, can finally breathe again. This past weekend, she took the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) after eight weeks of three to four hours of studying a day, getting used to phrasing her everyday conversation in terms of “what can you confer” or “the conclusion is valid if...”, and ingraining her favorite drink order into the minds of the Starbucks staff off Michaelson and Jamboree.

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.

High-caliber students and selectivity demonstrate that UCI Law school is well on its way to achieve its goal.

We all want to prepare our meals faster, purchase our ingredients at cheaper prices, and make our meals healthier. And by “all,” I mean the uncommon college student who takes the time to cook his or her own healthy meals. But in the collegiate culinary world, the diet of the average college student consists of Top Ramen, Diet Coke and fast food.

College campuses are filled with hungry students craving delicious, affordable food. Luckily, UCI Hospitality and Dining Services are more than ready to meet that need. While most students were away during the summer, several important dining changes took place on campus. The most obvious is the addition of Panda Express, Jamba Juice and Wahoo’s Fish Taco in the Student Center. Wahoo’s is still under construction with a grand opening on Oct. 12.

Once upon a time, a lonely blue shopping cart was left abandoned hundreds of feet away from its home and it was my job to retrieve it. This is the tale of my short-lived career as an Albertson’s courtesy clerk where I learned how to become an expert at dodging fast cars in a poorly designed parking lot.
