Peace Easy, UCI
Dear UCI,
We need to be honest with you. We have a huge confession to make. Are you ready for this?
When we first met you, we didn’t like you. At all. We were the bitter ones who told everyone we didn’t get into UCLA or Berkeley. We contemplated transferring. We realized we were too lazy to [...]
Intimate Inqueries
Dear K&E,
Recently my girlfriend has asked to spend less time together. She wants to hang out and talk on the phone less. I know she’s busy — especially since she’s graduating in June — but this seems kind of strange. It totally took me by surprise.
I’m not really sure what to think about this. [...]
Intimate Inquiries
Dear K&E,
I am recently single and most of my friends are too. We have tried dating different guys and so a lot of different boys have been cycling through our circle. However, recently all of the guys who have dated my friends have been trying to hit me up after things go [...]
Intimate Inquiries
Dear K&E,
I’m really interested in this guy. We’ve been hanging out and getting pretty close, but then I found out he’s dating someone. I was getting the vibe that he was interested in me too, and even now he still asks me to hang out a lot. Am I reading too much into things, or [...]
Intimate Inquiry

I met my boyfriend in high school and we’ve been together for almost four years. I fell in love with him because of his fun personality and sense of humor. I enjoy his presence because I am the type of person who doesn’t take stress very well and needs to be more relaxed, so [...]
Beauty: Biology or B.S.?

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 [...]
Best Valentine’s Chocolates
By Ariana Santoro
There are only a few days left before Valentine’s Day and you’ve forgotten a gift for your loved one. Not everyone can afford the price of gourmet chocolates. Let’s face it – we’re all a little strapped for cash right now.
For the budget conscious, the local grocery store carries everything you need to [...]
Overcoming Disability
Imagine a typical lecture or a day of class. You go to class with a large coffee in hand, sit in your seat, take notes and try to process everything your professor is saying. If it’s a discussion, perhaps you raise your hand to ask questions or give comments.
UCI Study Provides Helping Hands
Howard is not tall, or handsome, or daunting. He is small and delicate, his every intricacy exposed. He is a thin white and gray skeleton flecked with soft, dark strips that hang like flesh off his reptilian physique. He is cold to the touch. Howard directs, instructs, and heals. He is strong when others are weak.
Retail Slave For You
I can vividly recall the worst day of my life as a working adult. My alarm sounded promptly at 5:00 a.m. The sky was still dark, and I dreaded the day ahead. The reason for this dread is a feeling that any retail employee can understand: I was working on Black Friday.
