A good choice for free grub

·

I am a huge fan of free food.  I don’t know who isn’t.  After all, that’s why people waited so long in line during free breadstix day at Pizza X last week. But while everyone was waiting for their stix and sauce, I casually sauntered my way past them to get free food from Fortune Cookies.

Register to vote

A proactive community produces change. But without proper opportunities, such transformations won’t happen. The New York Times declared the “Millennial Generation,” those born between 1982 and 2002, the factor in this year’s midterm election. Because of a crippling recession and a small job market, young voters are now in a “toss-up” as party loyalties begin to wane from the left, causing the public to wonder where our allegiances will fall. Pundits claim we will fall in rank with other disgruntled voters, but local GOP leaders have already hindered the chances for this generation to make that difference.

Africa: the forgotten continent

·

Typically when students study abroad, they go to the traditional European countries. Thus, when I first told my friends and family I would be studying abroad in the West African nation of Ghana for the spring semester of 2010, they looked at me stunned and asked either “Why?” or “What will you do there?” To which I replied that I would be a regular college student, taking classes and such.
