From Anteater to Policeman
After graduation, some graduates go on to work in law offices, accounting firms and film studios. Some head off to graduate school to get their Masters in Education, Business, Social Work, among other disciplines. But for some Anteaters, they choose to stay at UC Irvine, for one reason or another. The UCI Police Department takes [...]
The Dish List: Kofee Klatch
One of the hippest spots along Orange County’s rich coastline, Laguna Beach’s Koffee Klatch is a coffee shop complete with an outdoor patio, a funky indoor lounge, delicious coffee and tasty food. Purple curtains shade the large picture window at the front of the Klatch. Gathered around the window is an assortment of comfy brown [...]
Depression in the Winter
As the holiday highs come to an end, people are left with the promise of the new year. The pressure to stick to those new year’s resolutions or lose those last five pounds before spring break can cause copious amounts of stress, eventually resulting in seasonal affective disorder (SAD), more commonly known as the winter [...]
The Dish List: Panini Cafe
In my opinion, there are some cuisines that should not be mixed. Not only is it difficult to blend two distinctly different cultures together in the form of food, but the results usually end up clashing and tasting awful. I mean, what sounds enticing about dipping green beans (Asian) in bleu cheese (French)? Each kind [...]
From Pen to Pan

The Art Of Fangirling
You obsess over your favorite band and smother your walls with their posters (signed by all of the members, of course). There are several books that you can read over and over again and still cry hysterically every time that one character dies. You never miss an episode of your favorite TV show and you [...]
The Year Of The Rabbit
The passionate fourth-year president of a poetry club, Nghiem Le, invites the other club members to bring their hands to the center and they shuffle closer and closer into one mass. “We are going to take in this positivity, throw it into the circle and bring it out into the world. One … two … [...]
Breathe In, Breathe Out, Repeat
After a busy first day of classes, I decided to take a lunch break in the middle of Aldrich Park. While eating my poorly prepared peanut butter sandwich, I couldn’t help but notice that all these people walking past me were in a rush to get to class. On a typical day, each Anteater has [...]
The Dish List: La Sirena Grill
The words “healthy” and “Mexican food” are seldom seen next to each other, but at La Sirena Grill, it is common vernacular. Mexican food can be found in almost every mall, shopping center or street side in Southern California, but few provide you with items like calamari (squid) burritos, blackened wild salmon salad and watermelon-strawberry [...]
