You just got out of a seven o’clock section for another random class. You’re starving because you’ve been on campus since eight am, and you have an eight page paper due the next day that you have yet to start. In other words, life is not at its zenith. Now imagine yourself walking, biking, or [...]

Sometime in the middle of fall quarter my cell phone screen stopped working. For a week, I couldn’t see my texts, screen my calls, or call my friends. I am sure there are other people out there who can relate with my frustration. When it happened to me, you would have thought the world was [...]

In September 2006, I was growing ever more wary of the power of the federal government, because Congress had recently passed the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which ended habeas corpus (a fundamental human right since the England’s Magna Carta was signed in 1215) in the United States.

In August 2002, a coalition of organizations met in Johannesburg, South Africa with the goal of redefining climate change in terms of human rights and environmental justice.

I consider myself a bit of a Windows fangirl, at least in the sense that I dislike Macintosh (Linux, you’re cool in my book). I love the practical aspect of the PC. I just want to be able to work on my computer without programs being bulky (I hate opening iTunes) or favoring [...]
