Paris: the city of lights, trees, love, fashion and, as of Aug. 25, the residence of a very confused Cal Poly junior. It’s been a challenging transition. During my first week here, I had to find my own housing, get the paperwork in order for my carte de sejour, buy a cell phone, figure out what university I’d like to go to, apply to it, take pictures and send them to the appropriate government institutions, purchase a Metro pass, figure out how to get from one point on the Metro to the other, all while taking orientation grammar classes.
Is your facebook addiction properly fed?
It is a rush every single time. It can make you feel the highest you’ve ever felt and then give you a complete and total collapse. No, I’m not talking about my articles, or heroin1, but the facebook phenomenon. Don’t lie to me, or yourself . you know you are addicted, but it’s OK, because you are not alone.
Social networking anything but social
You log into the Web site with your expectations running high. Perhaps someone you have never met would like to add you as a “friend,” or even better maybe someone left you a comment about a new sleazy picture of yourself that you recently posted. And would it not be absolutely fabulous if you got yet another post on your wall of fame? Those things are priceless.
Tax cuts: A good first step
Yesterday, Americans voted into office many new legislators who will shape American domestic and foreign policy for the next few years. Since this column is written before the election results have been finalized, it will not contain any specific reactions to the outcomes of particular races or potential power shifts in either house of Congress.
More critical analysis, less soapbox
Patrick Molnar, while I have no problem with your enthusiasm and anticipation of Democratic victory, is that the purpose of your article? Granted this is an opinion article, but you should present a grander opinion than “We’re gonna win!” This article reads much like the ignorant campaign rallies after elections where candidates celebrate before assured victory (since everyone in politics thinks they are right and never wrong, and they must have won the election).
Don't forget about women's volleyball
I was impressed to read a student’s (Pat Goulding II) letter criticizing decisions made by our football coach during Cal Poly’s game last weekend. Not that I agreed or disagreed – I wasn’t there. I was at UC Riverside, coaching your women’s volleyball team.
Chivalry: shouldst thou or shouldst thou not?
Chivalry isn’t dead. It’s simply confused.
Aside from medieval images of knights and ladies-in-waiting, the concept of chivalry generally implies a unidirectional, male-toward-female interaction.
But with gender standards shifting on the sands of time, poor little chivalry finds itself today in romantic turmoil.
Don't know the issues? Then don't vote today
MTV says vote.
ASI says vote.
Campaign ads say vote.
But if you don’t know the issues and are clueless walking up to the voting booth, for dear democracy’s sake, don’t vote.
As one of the most sought-after demographics, we 18-to-30-year-olds are bombarded with messages about why it’s so important to “have our voices heard.
The real reason to vote for Schwarzenegger
After being bombarded on all sides by campaign literature, TV ads, and posters for the candidates, not a single one talked about the only issue that is truly important this election.
That issue is, of course, who will be signing my diploma. All of you out there should have this issue on your mind if you plan on graduating within the term of our new governor.
Ellerson does it again
After Homecoming, head coach Rich Ellerson said there were a lot of lessons to be learned from the loss. There certainly were. Saturday’s game proved, however, that he didn’t learn any of them. It’s true that this lead was only six points; it’s true Montana was given a hand-wrapped and personally addressed gift from the head referee on fourth and 13 to continue the game-winning drive; it’s true that Montana is certainly stiffer competition than South Dakota State .
Democrats: Nov. 7 is going to be very niiice
In his new movie: “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, “Borat Sagdiyev describes his first marriage in the following manner: “She was very good for first three years, then suddenly she started grow hair on her chest, her voice became very deep, and her. how you say, did not work well.
