Leaving the Pack: Coyotes reflect on cherished CSUSB memories

June 7, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| As graduation approaches, CSUSB seniors reflect on their college experience and future plans while anxiously awaiting commencement. With their college days nearing an end, some students are experiencing a wave of mixed emotions, from excitement and pride, to fear and uncertainty. Graduation can evoke a number of questions, and perhaps the most prominent question of them all is “What will I do next?” “It’s kind of scary to think about life after graduation,” stated CSUSB communications senior Cecilia Beccera. “I want to travel. Learn more about this place we live in. Taste amazing food. Live a happy life surrounded by family and friends. My next … [Read more...] about Leaving the Pack: Coyotes reflect on cherished CSUSB memories

New York never sleeps

May 24, 2015 by Archived posts 2 Comments

By Angie Burkhart | Staff Writer The distinct culture and historical—and equally breathtaking—landmarks native to New York City, such as the Empire State Building, the One World Trade Center, and the 9/11 Memorial make a trip to the state bucket list-worthy. Theologian and philosopher Augustus of Hippo once said “the world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.” This is the mentality I have adopted and with the opportunity to spend my birthday in NYC, it didn’t take much convincing. Some have asked me, why New York? That question has always been easy for me to answer; I find it rich in diversity, cuisine, and more importantly, history. Nathan Blansett of … [Read more...] about New York never sleeps

What You Didn’t Know About Starbucks?

May 17, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The consumption of Starbucks' sugary, coffee-licious beverages has become a popular trend, that, if consumed once a day, has the potential to cost you up to $1,460 a year. Starbucks, once attracting what Dan Neil of the Los Angeles Times calls "affluent, college-educated progressives, the so-called latte liberals," has become a commodity, and even a fashion accessory for some college students. Despite their wide customer base, some of the brand's loyal customers may not be so aware of its impact on their wallet and health, as well as the environment. As a college student on a budget, have you ever wondered what your Starbucks habit is costing you … [Read more...] about What You Didn’t Know About Starbucks?

Notable Asian & Pacific Islanders

May 9, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The Asian and Pacific Islander community has bred some of our greatest entrepreneurs, athletes, inventors, and entertainers from individuals like David Chang and Isamu Akasaki to Amy Chow and Ang Lee. Asian-Pacific culture has woven itself into American life, enriching anything from our cuisine and technology to music and film. If you’re an Asian cuisine fan, you might want to consider the success of Korean-American, award-winning chef and author David Chang. The New Yorker calls him “one of the most celebrated chefs in the country,” and it’s no wonder; he’s the founder of several thriving restaurants around the U.S., from Momofuku Noodle Bar to … [Read more...] about Notable Asian & Pacific Islanders

Eureka! Restaurant Review

May 3, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| If you're looking for a unique and rustic spin on American cuisine, such as burgers and craft beer, Eureka! is the spot for you! The word eureka, according to Merriam-Webster, is "used to express excitement when a discovery has been made." With this definition in mind, this restaurant had better live up to their name. The restaurant is located on 580 W. First St., in the heart of Claremont Village Square. You can also find Eureka! in local cities such as Redlands, Irvine, Bakersfield, Fresno, and many more. Upon entering, you can't help but notice aromas of roasted garlic, caramelized onion, and savory beef. The dark wood flooring, along … [Read more...] about Eureka! Restaurant Review

For some, smiling is too much work

April 25, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| Have you ever been told you look mad, intimidating, or need to smile more often? If so, it’s possible you are suffering from a facial expression some people call resting bitch face (RBF). RBF can be explained as an emotionally neutral facial expression, in which you naturally appear smug or angry, without meaning to. A resting bitch face may keep you from developing smile wrinkles, but it has the potential to negatively shape what people think of you. As mtv.com so frankly put it, “nothing screams ‘don’t mess with me’ quite like a resting bitchface does.” Some people have made light of this term, adding humor, and recognizing some of the … [Read more...] about For some, smiling is too much work

Spring Break Memoirs: The Grand Canyon

April 18, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The view of the Grand Canyon is breathtaking; it gives you a sense of perspective on how small we are, how big the world is, and as a busy college student, I often need a reminder that a world exists outside of my own. I generally spend my spring break in pajamas coupled up with Netflix, but this year I wanted to use the time to check something off my bucket list, and I had the perfect destination in mind. After doing a bit of research, my friend and I decided we would utilize the Grand Canyon Railway, a train developed in the early 1900s, based out of Williams, AZ. With our reservations booked and our itinerary set in place, we packed and set off … [Read more...] about Spring Break Memoirs: The Grand Canyon

Students should remain optimistic

Chronicle Illustration by Joaquin Junco Jr.

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| Today, college students face more challenges than those of previous generations due to tuition increases, yet some continue to remain optimistic about their futures. According to reporter Niraj Chokshi of The Washington Post, “the West saw tuition and fees for four-year public school education rise by 86 percent over the past decade-more than in any other region.” The continuous increases in college tuition and fees over the years is not only alarming, but has had a domino effect, causing the percent of working students to increase along with it. “A new U.S. Census Report determined that 71 percent of the nation’s 19.7 million college … [Read more...] about Students should remain optimistic

College education is worth debt

February 27, 2015 by Archived posts 1 Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The benefits of attending college far outweigh the debt that is accrued when we consider the opportunities and knowledge we gain. Statistics show that college graduates are financially more successful than those without a degree. When I asked fellow college students why they are pursuing a degree, I got a variety of responses. Some said it was just to land a job, and others said it was to better their life altogether, whether financially or intellectually. CSUSB graduate Genna West said she originally pursued higher education to make more money, but found purpose in her career that during her time at CSUSB. Some say that “knowledge is … [Read more...] about College education is worth debt

Educated but not armed: Teachers don’t need guns

February 14, 2015 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Angie Burkhart |Staff Writer| The problem with teachers bearing arms is that we do not have the ability to predict whether extensive training will prepare teachers to switch between teaching to killing in a matter of seconds. With repeated acts of gun violence and intrusions within schools over the years, some districts and teachers have decided to take responsibility into their own hands. “Legally gun owning adults are now allowed to carry guns in public schools in more than two dozen states, from kindergarten classrooms to high school hallways,” stated author Kate Murphy in her ABC News article ‘F’ is for Firearm: More Teachers Authorized to Carry Weapons in … [Read more...] about Educated but not armed: Teachers don’t need guns
