And we're back.
Back to coffee-powered cram sessions, naps in your 8 o’clock lecture, mortifying call-outs by your professor for said naps, narcoleptic body jolts and the contemplation of a night out with your dorm mates or a late night at your desk, alongside every other difficulty college students have grown to collectively embrace as the “college struggle.” Of course,...
Trolling is unavoidable. One day, you ask the internet, “My car is messed up. What do I do?” Someone responds, “Yah! Just deflate your tires half way so you can reset the flux capacitor.” This is trolling. It’s a form of online toxicity, and whether you’re on YouTube or playing League of Legends, you’re likely to encounter it.

Commuters face a greater challenge when attempting to get more involved in the school community. Besides traveling a farther distance to attend their classes, it takes more effort for...
In last week’s edition of “Defeating the College Triangle,” we taught you how to steer clear of bad sleeping habits and anything else that may prevent you from getting some precious shut-eye. In this edition, we will navigate you through another side of the highly discussed College Triangle — Social Life — and show you how you can keep...
Commonly, college is perceived as a place for young students to pursue their passions, an almost mystical land of opportunities where dreams become a reality. Many students, including myself, come into UCR with high hopes of becoming the next Steve Jobs or Meredith Grey (yes, that is the only doctor I know of, though she is fictional). However, reality...

Even though there is high disdain for the state of our country, there are always others with who feel as though we're headed toward a positive direction. These people with opposing...
Nearly every college student has heard the “choose two and neglect the third” saying at some point in their four-year experience.
