While investigating the Hermosillo Bar on York Avenue for it's strength as a single's bar, I found something else out. It wasn't pleasant. It was in fact, quite saddening. Everybody, especially singletons, need a lesson on appropriate going-out attire. Let me set the scene. It was 10:30 p.m. on a Saturday night at the Eagle Rock beer and wine bar....

Four thousand six hundred and ten episodes later, James "Jay" Leno's stint as host of NBC's "The Tonight Show" is over. Feb. 6 marked the end of an era when Leno finally walked away from NBC. He went out on an incredible high note, having the best "Tonight Show" ratings in 22 years. His final episode included guests Billy Crystal,...

Nope, not Christmas. New York City's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Luckily for us, NYC Fashion Week actually comes twice a year and doesn't care if you have been naughty or nice, just if you have the money to throw down for some serious designer rags. Of course, calling what has come down the runway this fashion week "rags" is near blasphemy....

A recent change in campus policy means that off-campus residents could be receiving more visits from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), as after a first call and warning from Campus Safety, further complaints from neighbors are handled by the LAPD. A Jan. 28 email from Dean of Students Barbara Avery informed off-campus residents of this new protocol. According to...

The first time I went to England, it was a whirlwind trip. My stepmother had put together an ambitious itinerary in both length (double digit page number) and content. For a two week trip, the end goal was seemingly to become so well versed in British history and culture that we could become citizens. We studied monuments, deciphering their meaning...

I'm an avid people watcher. Probably to a creepy level. Whenever my sister and I hit up the shopping-palooza that is Mall of America (which you need to go to with a friend otherwise you might perish), we usually take a mid-day break in the food court to rest our feet and take in the scenery. Over Diet Cokes taller...

I, like many students who study abroad, have taken this time to not only study in a foreign country, but to explore the other foreign countries surrounding it. Studying in Europe offers a special advantage, as the many beautiful, proud countries that make up Western Europe are short flights away. Being situated in England – home of five airports just...

Though I may be a third year college student at Occidental, I am considered a first year or "Fresher" here at the University of Sussex. As such, when I entered my dorm, a handy-dandy cloth tote with fun freebies and fliers was laid on my bed. While I quite frankly will probably never use a cloth tote outside of a...

Studying abroad has turned out to be one of the best choices I've ever made. I think this is due, in large part, by making the decision to study in Brighton, England at the University of Sussex. Across the pond on the Southern coast of Great Britain lies the adorable and old town of Brighton. About an hour train ride...

Ah, Fall. I love the season. It presents so many opportunities to dress up or hide in a big cable knit sweater. It is the season when every color of berry becomes a wardrobe staple and finding a new way to tie a scarf becomes a hobby. It is also a season when people look lovely: crunchy, colorful leaves fall...
