Let’s Chill: Students hang out in San Bernardino
By Maria de Lourdes Campos |Staff Writer| “There’s no better university than CSUSB,” stated student Britney Allan.

These places provide students with stress free environments where they can unwind and de-stress. “I love the Woman’s Resource Center here on campus, because it is peaceful and friendly. Not to mention, that they have free Scantrons, which is great if you’re ever in need of some.

Pros and cons of The Greek life
By Mark Kroppling | Staff Writer| The Greek life on campus is not typical of everything you see in the movies.

Upon weighing the pros and cons, Bracamontes said that not every student feels that going Greek … [Read more...] about Pros and cons of The Greek life
Be weary of what you put on social media
By Erin Leach |Staff Writer| In a single day there are over half a billion tweets and five million images uploaded to Instagram. Everyone has heard the common idea that once you post it, it permanently lives on the Internet. This is true, and sadly students don’t realize the implications of what they might be posting.

However, it becomes a dangerous thing when you sit back to think that a large portion of the people you follow, or connect with, on social media don’t know the person you are. A majority of the people we connect with on social media don’t interact with us on a daily … [Read more...] about Be weary of what you put on social media
Learn from my mistakes (Week 4)
Dear Julia, Whenever I ask my friend about any trouble that may be going on in her life she feels the need to be dishonest with me. What can I do to confront her about it? Should I even attempt it?
