Hate others’ significant others?
What do you do if you dislike your sibling’s significant other? What if you can’t see what your friend sees in his or her boyfriend or girlfriend? What if you know your friend/sibling is making a huge mistake if he or she commits to an everlasting engagement with that person you can’t stand? I’m not talking about the typical “I hate my in-laws situation,” where you dread when your mother and father-in-law come to visit.
Are internships a necessity to have before entering a career?
To graduate from college, every student at SDSU has to have 128 credits under their belts. For Arts and Science college students, 30-some of those have to be upper credit classes. Then of course there are all the required classes every student has to take which basically seem to take up half your time here.
Content just being bridesmaid for now
Toward the end of your college career, one thing begins to happen more and more often: people getting married. For those without a significant other or who just have yet to get married, there’s the joy of being a bridesmaid or groomsman. I’ve only been a bridesmaid two or three times in my life (if you count the time I was a flower girl/junior bridesmaid) but I have a friend who’s been a bridesmaid seven times already, and she’s only a junior in college.
City council approves painted bike lanes
The Brookings City Council unanimously approved the proposal by the Students’ Association to look at bicycle routes throughout the city and get a plan hammered out to start putting them in this spring. “I think it’s a great project,” Council member Ryan Brunner said.
Celebrating both holidays possible
This Monday was a holiday for the students and faculty at SDSU, giving them a day off from classes (or at least another day to procrastinate and avoid doing the homework they should have done earlier in the weekend). I’m sure I wasn’t the only one who had plenty to do to fill that free day.
Choosing a ‘lesser of two evils’
Candidates have chosen their running mates. Millions of people across the country have taken sides, rooting for their favorites and booing and throwing trash at the opposition. The pairs give each other the Evil Eye as they line up. Get ready ? set ? Wait.
Gilbert leaves many rockin’ memories
A man whose personality and teaching style made his face easily recognizable to SDSU students for nearly three decades passed away this summer. Howard “Rocky” Gilbert, age 73, died June 19 at the Brookings Hospital. Originally from Spokane, Wash., he taught at Oregon State University while working on his doctorate before becoming a professor at SDSU.
Feds revive law to combat high tuition and loans
The annual cost of attending a four-year public university – with tuition, fees and room and board factored in – was $13,589 in 2007-2008, according to the not-for-profit College Board Association. Even after adjusting for inflation, this is 78 percent higher than it was two decades earlier.
Study drinks are not all created equal
So you are studying for your second final during Finals Week. You look at the clock, which reads 10:15. You’re a little tired, but you know you have to at least get through this information and hopefully study for your third test as well tonight. What do you do? Some people might reach for a pop, others an energy drink and still others will either make some coffee or head to Food Services to get a mug full.
Fest to relieve symptoms of spring fever
Despite the spring snowstorm, spring fever is in the air at SDSU. Students are out in lighter clothes, enjoying the warmer temperatures as they look forward to summer. To celebrate the end of the school year and the beginning of summer, the University Program Council and the Residence Hall Association are co-sponsoring the second annual Spring Fever Fest on May 1 in the Performing Arts Center in order to “help end the semester with a bang!,” according to its Facebook event description.
