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. One of the results of the warmer weather is an increase in girls wearing weather-appropriate (i.e. skimpy) clothes, which brings the flirtation and distractions to a whole new level. While [...]
Erasing the Stigma of Mental Health: The World is Crazy, But Hey! We Aren’t
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
In 1864 when James Irvine bought 110,000 acres of land in what is now Orange County, he most likely had no idea that one day the city named after himself would become a modern day garden of Eden — only better.
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 [...]
Intimate Inquiries
Good evening, Sandy!
Nice to meet you!
Thank you for your sincere service for college students regarding dating and relationship!
My name is Pilgrim. As it is shown in my name, I am a Christian, who pursues the meaning of life in God.
As a consequence, many parts of my life are governed by biblical principles. During my lifetime, [...]
Stand With the Eleven Answers Ambassador Oren’s Open Letter
Dear Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren,
In your open letter published in the New University, you propose a return to UC Irvine in order to “dialogue” with those whose views juxtapose yours. We willingly take you up on that offer. But to clarify, our willingness does not stem from any delusional notion that your words can right [...]
