Being an introvert is not a bad thing

Are you mostly an introvert? Do prolonged social interactions make you cringe and want to run away? Do you get anxious just talking to strangers you don’t know?

Internships offer experience, key to the future

You’re filling out your resume and you get to the two toughest sections - experience and references. You’re an average college student with a great G. P.

Skateboards on campus should go away

Did you know that there are an estimated 10,000 reports of skateboard douchebaggery every year? It's true! This is all according to me - your average adult who despises all things teenager. At least it seems that way, anyway. Look, I hate skateboards. I mean, I hate them. They are obnoxious and loud and I hate how people ride them...

More illumination is needed at night

Dark parking lots can be scary at night. Hell, any dark place is scary at night. Cerritos College is a big campus, and having a few light fixtures for such a great amount of space does not give one a sense of security, especially when students have to walk alone from their cars to campus or vice versa.

Not so 'Fresh and Natural' after all

Fresh and Natural getting a "C" rating is disgusting for Cerritos College students. The students deserve something better than this. At first it was a good idea of having a new food vendor coming into the mix at Cerritos College, with promises from the student government that this new vendor, Fresh and Natural, will be a healthier choice.

Windows | A battle of phones

The phone market has been dominated by the iPhone and Android. What if there was another phone out there? One that is great and refreshing? That phone is, in fact, a Windows phone. Now, I know what you’re thinking - “Windows? Please, it doesn’t even have a working YouTube app.” While that may be true, Windows has a lot of...
