Balancing school and work

February 4, 2020 by Vanessa Castaneda Leave a Comment

Going to school full-time and working full-time can be considered a balancing act, especially with the high demand that most students deal with when working in retail. The CSUSB campus has a substantial amount of students either working on campus or off campus along with taking the full-time unit requirements for a college student. Students balance the two, whether effectively or not, in order to lessen the financial burdens on themselves and their parents.  But how do students cope or balance both work and school? For students like Finance major Ihab El Zein and Senior Communications major Mirna Hernandez, balancing school and life is difficult. “Working full-time at school and … [Read more...] about Balancing school and work

Prioritizing life in early adulthood

January 29, 2020 by Karina Rodarte 1 Comment

Young adults in this generation are hit with unexpected independence. Whether they are ready to enter into the world of adulthood or not, they are expected to find a sense of prioritizing a life that is constantly changing. Everywhere, the constant question that seems to be presented to the average eighteen-year-old is, “Hey, you going to college?” or “So just working for now, huh?” These new-born adults begin to decide if college, work, care-taking, or other means of responsibility outweigh the importance of other responsibilities and choices. CSUSB professor, Dr. Jasmine Lee, from the English Department of College of Arts and Letters considered the factors of what determines … [Read more...] about Prioritizing life in early adulthood

Why did you come to Earth school?

May 29, 2019 by Crow Helms Leave a Comment

Ever wondered what your purpose in life was? Or what force of energy makes our heart beat? Better yet, perhaps why different people go through different struggles and challenges in life. In order for us to know that a dream is a dream, we first have to wake up, and within those dreams, we sometimes gain some wisdom or an innate intuition of knowing that there was something about that dream. What if we too are in a dream? But we call it life, and once we die or transition, that is when we truly wake up. Earth is but a school for us humans to learn more about ourselves. “There needs to be contrast in order for us to understand the opposite, sometimes we grow up in a dysfunctional or … [Read more...] about Why did you come to Earth school?

Apps students shouldn’t live without

May 3, 2017 by Monica Rosales Leave a Comment

By Monica Rosales |Contributing Writer| Students look for many ways to survive school, and with modern day technology, there are millions of applications at our fingertips to keep us afloat in and outside the classroom. Beside social media app favorites, such as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, we also rely on apps to maintain our organization and focus throughout the school year. Many of our phones already come programmed with a number of apps like a calendar, calculator, memo recorder and even ITunes U. “Timetable reminds me of all my assignments. I would be running around like a chicken without a head,” said student Esmeralda Aguilar. Planners are essential for the busy bee … [Read more...] about Apps students shouldn’t live without

Opportunity strikes growth

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Shirleena Baggett |Staff Writer| So what? You made a mistake. Unfortunately, that is life. When you take action towards your goals, it is bound to happen. Think about it, what would our world be like if there were no mistakes made? It would be perfect and in my opinion, perfect is boring. "I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work," is a quote from the world-famous Thomas Edison. He could have given up after the first try, but where would we be without his 1,093 invention patents, including the phonograph, Vitascope and light bulb? "There is great opportunity in every mistake," said student Lana Elyo. And she is right. Life never comes out how we dreamed and … [Read more...] about Opportunity strikes growth

It is okay to be depressed

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Shirleena Baggett |Staff Writer| Books, exams, debts and depression—the perks of college life. Last fall, my life was moving along without me; I was a wreck, drained in every aspect, and knew I needed to get help. Forty-four percent of college students experience symptoms of depression, according to an article on healthline.com "Depression in College Students." Attending school is a transitional period for us all. Whether it is moving away from our family for the first time, to enduring the stress that comes along with getting decent grades, to of course the rise and fall of relationships and friendships. It is a lot—and there is no real way to be "ready" for it all. The truth is, … [Read more...] about It is okay to be depressed

The bathroom law

April 25, 2016 by Archived posts 1 Comment

By Shirleena Racine Baggett |Staff Writer| Men, women and the other? That tends to be the way our country classifies its population. This division making headline news is in regards to which bathroom we should go into in public. According to Monash University, sex refers to biological differences, internal and external sex organs, while gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture defines as masculine or feminine. In other words, sex is biological and cannot be argued upon, and gender has been cultivated into picking and choosing which traits fit one’s personal identity. North Carolina’s Gov. Pat McCrory signed a bill which states that a person should go into the … [Read more...] about The bathroom law

Clean water a must for all

February 24, 2016 by Archived posts Leave a Comment

By Rachel Rundengan |Staff Writer| Water is of major importance to all living things. Seventy percent of the human body is made up of water. So you can imagine just how important water is not only for our health, but also our overall well-being. Some of you might read this and think that these facts are common knowledge—facts we should have known in grade school. However, the crisis in Flint, Mich. has shown just how incapable Michigan officials were in understanding the importance of water. Residents of Flint drank, cooked, and bathed with lead-contaminated water for the past two years. For months, citizens of Flint could not get anyone to pay attention to the problems … [Read more...] about Clean water a must for all
