Work, study, late nights, repeat: Students in PDC shed light on balancing work and school life in a pandemic

May 12, 2021 by Myrka Rivera 290 Comments

Working students of the Palm Desert Campus (PDC) shared the changes in their time management caused by the shift to online learning. “I used to work two jobs and now I only work for one, which is for our school,” says Vianey Abraham, a fourth-year communications studies major. Abraham said, “I worked for a small business in Palm Springs, but since we were all too exposed to the virus, everyone had to stop working in that area. My family got paranoid, so they told me to not return to work. They wanted me to stay home safe and healthy.” The paranoia over the pandemic caused millions of Americans to quarantine while simultaneously being at risk to lose their jobs. “It didn’t … [Read more...] about Work, study, late nights, repeat: Students in PDC shed light on balancing work and school life in a pandemic

Building your résumé over the summer

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts 7 Comments

By Estefania Torres |Asst. A&E Editor| Summer is a time when students are looking forward to fun vacations, cool vibes and no school. Not many students take into consideration that this may be the perfect time to start being productive and begin building a résumé. It is crucial to continuously be active in the field one plans on working in, especially during a long break. By this I mean, if one is going to be spending about three months sitting around, watching television and doing nothing, might as well do something productive that will help in the long term. An internship is always a great start in constructing your future résumé; the résumé that will be presented to … [Read more...] about Building your résumé over the summer

The significance of what we post

June 9, 2016 by Archived posts 81 Comments

By Estefania Torres |Asst. A&E Editor| Social media has become a significant part of our everyday lives. It has become so significant that it has unfairly become a platform for employers to evaluate an individual’s professionalism and credibility. Social media is a personal, and at the same time free space to express oneself in any way he/she chooses to express him/herself. And no company or businesses should hold it’s employees accountable for the things they post outside of work—they should not determine a person’s competence and skill off of something they are not a part of. An annual social media recruitment study shows that the percentage of employers that check employees … [Read more...] about The significance of what we post

May 12, 2016 by Archived posts 12 Comments

By Estefania Torres |Asst. A&E Editor| College education is one of the most talked about topics among young adults. High school graduates are usually faced with the hard decision of either getting their degree or going straight to work. Some people argue that education is needed to make a decent living, while others believe that education is a waste of money and time.

Full-Time Student. Part-Time Employee.

November 8, 2015 by Archived posts 4 Comments

By Sandy Rodriguez |Staff Writer| Restaurant industry jobs seem to be the top employment industries for students because of the large range of said establishments around college campuses and the flexible hours.   Life is expensive, more so for students who have to buy textbooks, parking permits, and all those energy drinks to stay up for all-nighters. We all need money, and those of us who lack a strong financial support from our families have to find jobs in order to make ends meet.   Chemistry major and Amazon employee, Alex Guerrero said there aren’t enough hours in a day. Guerrero said he gets paid $12.50 an hour, $3.50 above minimum wage in California. This may … [Read more...] about Full-Time Student. Part-Time Employee.

Snoozing Coyotes

February 7, 2015 by Archived posts 52 Comments

By Samantha Romero |Staff Writer| Forty percent of Coyotes claim to have sleep deprivation. When we were younger it was a constant mantra held by our parents that we needed our sleep and now that we are older, scientists are telling us we need sleep. Study after study has come out describing just how sleep deprivation affects students in their day-to-day work. A study done by the National Sleep Foundation said that "'young adults'—a new category for ages 18-25—may be able to get by sleeping 11 hours a night." But which college student can actually achieve that? Most college students ignore the fact that they are sleep-deprived, saying school work needs to be completed or … [Read more...] about Snoozing Coyotes

Obama proposes free community college

January 24, 2015 by Archived posts 4,026 Comments

By Jorge Campos |Staff Writer| President Barack Obama has officially proposed to make community colleges “virtually free” for anybody who is willing to work for it. This economical help will only benefit students who graduate high school with a GPA of 2.5 or higher. His plan, the “America’s College Promise”, will encourage students to maintain good grades and reach for a high school diploma. “Given that this is Obama’s final State of the Union Address, it was likely that he was trying to define his presidential legacy with this speech. In theory, it is of course a good idea but if it increases national debt then I would give the plan a second look,” said CSUSB’s Political Science … [Read more...] about Obama proposes free community college
