Sushilicious
Paperless iPod orders, light up plates, tweeted discounts and pop jams?
Traditionalists take heed: Sushilicious is not your standard kaiten sushi bar.
In fact, it’s unlike any sushi joint you’ve seen. It’s more like the Yogurtland, Apple or In-n-Out of sushi bars – modern and hip, approachable for any palate and efficiently focused on what the customers [...]
Some Days I Don’t Feel Fat: The True Confessions of A Full-Sized Woman
When I announced to my friends that my blog was going to be turned into a column, one exclaimed, “Like Dear Abby?” My response, “No, more like Carrie Bradshaw but instead of extended and complicated metaphors involving shoes, I’m going to write about my fat ass.”
The blog is called “The Fat Nanny” and it’s pretty [...]
Beauty: Biology or B.S.?
Ahhh Spring. The time of year when the sun is shining, the weather is warm and college students find it hard to concentrate in class.

Many of us hear the term “mental illness” and automatically think of crazy people. Perhaps someone with schizophrenia or paranoia would fit the bill. The Joker from “The Dark Knight” is a prime example. If you remember Hamlet from your high school reading, you know what I’m talking about. Unlike these highly dramatized cases, the [...]
The Planned City of Eden

An article titled “10 Great Reasons to Resent Irvine” is oddly filled with reasons to [...]
Tweaking for Twitter? How to Get Help Now!
“I would say I issued about 1,000 tweets per day,” John tells me, his face gaunt and his fingers twitching like he really needs to hit some keys. I’m sitting in the Life, Media, and Order (LMAO) Rehabilitation Center in Laguna Hills. Founded just six months ago by Bernie and Shannon O’Heath, the clinic has [...]
Anteaters Abroad in Azeroth
Like many of my peers, I decided to take advantage of the wonderful study abroad programs on campus; but I didn’t want to go romping around Europe like an aimless college stereotype. No, I wanted something more exotic, a place whose war-torn landscape and complicated politics would challenge my prejudices.
After countless paperwork, an injury/probable death [...]
