Opinion: Reflecting on 2020 as a year of change

December 1, 2020 by Aidee Avila Lambaren Leave a Comment

2020 has been one strange year. We are currently in a pandemic, the United States has elected a new president, and we witnessed  people in America fight alongside the Black Lives Matter movement.  Black Live Matter has become a global movement against racism and police brutality. Thousands of people from multiple different countries gathered to protest racism and police brutality after the killing of George Floyd by the Minneapolis police. The Black Lives Matter movement began to rise in July of 2013, 17 months after the death of Trayvon Martin.   However, the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter did not become nationally recognized until 2014, when Michael Brown died by police hands.

November 22, 2016 by Saeed Villanueva Leave a Comment

By Saeed Villanueva |Staff Writer| As Barack Obama's presidency winds down, Americans' take a look back at his time in office over the past eight years. Obama made history by becoming the first African-American ever to be elected president of the U.S., which came with a lot of pressure.

Who should win the election? The battle between candidates

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Destiny Guzman |Staff Writer| Altering decisions, wavering assurances and childish play characterize the presidential campaigns for 2016. Who will win in the midst of all this chaotic disorder? The answer is Senator Bernie Sanders! "I’m for Bernie Sanders because he is for me; he is for all of us," said student Julissa Gallegos. Sanders supports tuition-free public colleges and universities, and it resonates with me as a student because of my fellow students’ experience with crippling debt. "Mr. Sanders has inspired candidates pushing policies like tuition-free public colleges and universal health care, initiatives that were once regarded as radical but that now have the support of … [Read more...] about Who should win the election?

No More, I say

May 12, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Shirleena Baggett |Staff Writer| Students across the campus are in an uproar over the requirement to take the “End Sexual Violence” training. Ninety-nine percent of the 40 classmates I conversed with about this topic would have preferred to spend their time studying or eating than taking the course. The program was designed to be interactive in hopes to bring knowledge to the participants, preventing sexual assault and domestic violence on college campuses. It also meets the Campus Save Act and Title IX mandates for federally funded schools, according to not-anymore.com. “We have enough to do, especially as graduate students,” said student Richard Contreras.

New year, new me make new goals not resolutions

January 17, 2014 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Marie Fernandes |Staff Writer| Making New Year’s resolutions is a waste of time. We should focus on making goals to make ourselves happier and our lives better. Change has to be spontaneous instead of planned. “I feel like making a New Year’s resolution is pointless because no one sticks to the ones that they make,” said Alexis Lopez, a CSUSB student. We are setting ourselves up for disappointment and leaving ourselves vulnerable to our own insecurities if we make on definitive resolution at the start of each year. Simply labeling our goal as a New Year’s resolution puts a tremendous amount of pressure on ourselves right from the beginning. Most people feel as though … [Read more...] about New year, new me make new goals not resolutions
