Good ol’ Gateway
Back when UCI opened in 1965, the first Anteaters were eating burgers and steaks in Gateway Commons, the former cafeteria now known as Gateway Study Center. Instead of being one of many places to study on campus, this was, in fact, the only place to eat at UCI once upon a time. Unlike the university [...]
The Dish List: VegiLicious
The past two weeks have likely wreaked havoc on the bodies of UCI students. On the heels of the caffeine binge that is finals week, spring break serves as a much-deserved reward for all our hard work during the quarter. Having consumed enough caffeine, crepes and cupcakes for a lifetime, I turned to Yelp for [...]
In Love and War
ever imagined I would have my own Love & Relationship Column in a university newspaper. Since this will be my final love column, I am going to give you two cents worth of my roller coaster love life. Everything I thought I knew about romantic love turned out to be wrong. Being the hopeless romantic [...]
The Dish List: Rooster PM
Do you remember the review I did on Rooster Café in an earlier installment of the Dish List? As I mentioned earlier, once the sun sets, Rooster Café in Costa Mesa closes and allows Rooster PM to rise and shine. The unassuming eatery, located across the street from American Apparel and next to a pool [...]
Battle of the Mathletes
UC Irvine hosted the MATHCOUNTS State Competition for middle school students from schools all over Southern California this past Saturday on March 9. Around 50 middle schools were represented in the math competition, but more than 6,000 schools participate in these competitions annually. UCI Student Center was crowded with sixth, seventh and eighth grade students [...]
UCI’s Gym Class Hero
Andy Nguyen has a routine. Every day he wakes up, heads over to the Anteater Recreation Center and spends an hour and a half focusing on his intensive weight-lifting regimen that he defines as push, pull, legs. The push consists of chest and tricep exercises; the pull focuses on biceps and back; and legs is [...]
Nursing a Career in Nursing
A nurse, by dictionary definition, is someone who “looks after, fosters and advises.” “When I was in high school, I volunteered at a hospital, and the very first day, I watched a delivery,” Sarah Post, a fourth-year UCI nursing student, said. “The nurse told me that I’d either want to throw up, faint or cry. [...]
From Pen to Pan: Pasta
No doubt, pasta is one of the most versatile dishes for the modern palette. It simultaneously acts as both the go-to meal for college students and a hoity-toity dish of the elite. This week, Pen to Pan seeks to illustrate such a dichotomy with Logan serving up a transcontinental dish inspired by Top Chef, while [...]
The Dish List: Pieology
The first time I walked into Pieology Pizzeria at the Irvine Spectrum, I expected the typical pizza joint that displayed slices and large pies for patrons. But walking into Pieology, I was struck by the Chipotle-esque style of ordering and building your own pie, much like Blaze Pizza in UTC. Each pizza is made individual-sized [...]
Thriving, Not Just Surviving: “We Step Into the Light”
Rape. Sexual assault. Abusive relationships. Domestic violence. Stalking. For some of the men and women who look to the CARE (Campus Assault Resources and Education) office for support after events like these, they’re met with a safe haven that provides them with people to talk to, programs to help them heal and education that will [...]
