Riddle: What can you buy on Ring Road for $2?
Did you guess? Yes! That’s right! Boba! And for another $5 you can buy yourself a nice plate of Korean BBQ. Any day of the week! Just walk through Ring Road, and after getting bombarded with fliers from sororities and fraternities, you’ll walk into a Korean BBQ and boba paradise.
President Obama appears to be playing both sides once again. The Obama administration has recently decided to no longer defend the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in court, despite the president’s insistence that he does not support gay marriage.

Both praise and criticism has been coming in, but none of it is justified.

Americans love a celebrity train wreck. For some reason, we want to know every detail of a star’s downfall. Whether it’s drugs, booze, sex or crime, we hang on to every scandalous detail.

It seems harmless, but if we’ve learned anything from the recent downfall of Charlie Sheen, this obsession with celebrity culture isn’t as innocent as we’d like to believe.
Headaches, allergies, lower back pains, random tweaks and aches – these are the physical curses of being human. We feel invincible one moment and become a broken record of complaining the next. We are always in need of a doctor who usually provides us with a bottle of pills, sends us off to bed to do nothing or tells us that surgery should do the trick.
I am one of the many commuters at UC Irvine. Every day, I walk, or sometimes run, to the bus stop in order to get to campus on time. I live at home with my family and find it convenient because they do not make me pay rent; all of my utility bills are covered, I have my own room and my mom makes amazing home-cooked meals for me.
Are you not the most athletic person? Do you ever feel the urge to go to the ARC after eating Mesa Commons food? Are you unsure of how to properly exercise? Well have no fear! Working out is not as intimidating as it might sound. There are so many options that you can pick from.
I remember the first time I encountered Rene Magritte with astounding clarity. I was a high school junior sitting in my AP English class in the back corner of the room near the door with a poster of Bob Dylan smirking down at me.
I weighed a measly three pounds the day I was born. I looked like a wrinkled potato, shivering in a tiny incubator (I have several photos as evidence of this phenomenon). The nurses must have taken good care of me because, in 10 days, my weight had increased to a whopping four pounds.
