Streaming has changed everything about how we watch TV and movies. Instead of waiting each week for a new episode or rushing to the theater for the latest blockbuster, viewers can now binge entire seasons in a single weekend or scroll through endless films on demand. But with the rise of streaming platforms, higher costs for entertainment and tighter...
From deploying the National Guard into U.S. cities that are largely Democrat-run, with an image being painted that they’re crime-ridden and almost anarchic, to launching an illegal capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro without congressional approval, Trump has now renewed his campaign to annex Greenland, a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) ally. He says it is in the best...
Walking into the weekly Wednesday tabling at the University of California, Riverside (UCR), I have noticed many club representatives marketing their organizations by offering free food, goodies or merchandise to make students join.
However, most students are attracted by one particular perk: opportunities for volunteer hours.

They might tell you about how an electric scooter whizzed by them at 20 miles per hour while they were trying to get to their discussion. Meanwhile, your business major friend tells you how they had to climb a mountain just to...
We gather here today in loving memory of our dear friend and humble coin, the U.S. penny.
Whether hidden in couch cushions, tucked inside childhood piggy banks or stuck in the crevices of car seats, the penny was always there. Finding a lucky penny on the sidewalk during a bad day would lift your spirits and turn the day around....

People often assume that a sharp tongue or a love of debate prepares someone for a legal career, yet the reality of the profession demands far more than instinctive disagreement. An argument only has value when it...
I’m a serial procrastinator. I’ve lain awake at night, sleepless, not from the lack of exhaustion but because I felt guilty for trying to rest after not being as productive as I felt I should have been.
Every time I go on my phone, I’m flooded with notifications: assignments, quizzes, deadlines, reminders, announcements and emails. It feels endless. There is...
For a long time, I assumed boundaries were straightforward. You set them, people respect them and everyone knows what’s going on — end of story. But lately I’ve learned that boundaries are constantly evolving, sometimes in ways that feel confusing, inconsistent and honestly, kind of painful.
Someone I used to be fairly acquainted with recently stepped into a position where...
On Nov. 19, 2025, the University of California (UC) Board of Regents approved an undergraduate tuition increase for future students despite systemwide student opposition.
In a 13-3 vote, the Board renewed its Tuition Stability Plan — first adopted under former UC President Michael V. Drake in 2021 — that includes several amendments set to take effect in the 2026-27 academic...
