Voting at my house has always been a social event. Since neither I, my brother nor my dad have any time for ballot and candidate research, we always delegate this process to my mom. Every primary, midterm and presidential election, my mom sits down with us and our sample or mail-in ballots, pulls out her... Continue Reading →
While in quarantine, I dealt with the election season by talking about it with my friends in the student organization I am apart of. When there were updates on the election, we would talk about it in our group chat. We would always update each other and learn from the outcome. It was an ongoing wave... Continue Reading →
Major athletics are back. I don’t think it’s the best decision, but seeing the university’s attitudes towards COVID19 in general I am not at all surprised. It really feels like a moral issue. Do we put off athletic events, potentially stalling athletic scholarships and opportunities for our athletes? Or do we encourage teams and crowds... Continue Reading →

The wind was blowing hot air and the friendly neighborhood mosquitos were stopping by their favorite restaurant (also known as my arm) for their mid-afternoon bite.

Even though I don’t agree with bringing back major athletics, I understand it may bring joy to those who need it.... Continue Reading →
One of my few recent delights in quarantine was participating in a Kickstarter campaign for one of my favorite bands. Since this band’s message is about mental health problems, and mental health problems are a serious thing we need to deal with right now, there wasn’t much dissent among the ranks of the fans about...

Honestly, I was a little surprised how quickly the number of COVID-19 positive cases increased at SDSU in such a short amount of time. Compared to the beginning of the outbreak, cases seemed to be relatively steady over the summer. The influx didn’t spout until the beginning of fall semester. I guess this followed the...

When I received the news that SDSU was offering on campus housing, I said “heck yeah I’m going to apply.” After being in quarantine for a few months, I was excited to finally start my college experience although it would be a different way no other freshman has experienced. The first few weeks were extremely... Continue Reading →
