In my two and a half years at ASU, my favorite class so far has been BIO 302, “Cancer: Mother of all Diseases.” I vividly remember the professor telling us, “Once we cure cancer, we’ll lose all creativity.”
Going to the libraries at ASU can be a lot like going to the gym. No one really wants to be there. Students “check in” at the library on Facebook as often as they check into the gym.
We live in a world in which it isn’t completely impolite to use phones during dinner. We like to be connected at all times. Whether it is sneak-texting under the table or making a move in “Words with Friends,” we are glued to those five by three inch devices.
As we approach the halfway point in this fall 2012 semester, many of us are burned out. Second exams are quickly approaching and some of us are in definite need of a day off.
Everything is bigger in America. Bigger cars, bigger TVs, bigger houses, but bigger people?
Last week, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama both answered Scientific American’s 14 science questions. Being somewhat of a science nerd, I was excited to read their responses.
Whether you’re a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, you’ve declared a major. The major you have chosen may change a few times, if it hasn’t already. Perhaps you’ve found that economics isn’t inspiring enough, so you made the switch to art. Maybe you’ve found the hidden wonder and art within physics, engineering or even pre-med, and decided to keep with it.
Our generation loves to complain. I am no exception. With social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, voicing one’s complaints is easier than ever. Did our parents raise a generation of bitter and somewhat cynical children? Or are we all just suffering from #firstworldproblems?
We all have that one relative who we don’t get along with. Mine comes in the form of a cat-loving, giant-glasses-wearing hipster. She fits the grungy-chic stereotype: Someone who makes sure it looks like they haven’t showered in weeks as they carry a 17-inch MacBook around in a leather attaché case. As a psychology major at New York University, she’s the quintessential New York hipster.
A common question I’ve heard in response to feminism theory classes is, “Where are the masculine theory classes?” Obviously this question is usually asked by males, who I can only hope are joking.
Mark Twain wrote, “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
You may find that you cannot escape the Republican presidential candidates. Whether you’re overhearing conversations in class or the Memorial Union, walking past a newsstand, perusing the Internet, or watching TV, they’re everywhere you go.
While walking through the Rural Road parking structure, it became obvious that a substantial amount of ASU students come from wealthy backgrounds. It’s obvious from the cars parked there. Basic headlights are now brighter halogen lights and cloth upholstery has been upgraded to only the finest leather. Some have even foregone the traditional key-ignition for a start/stop button.
Jacqueline Kennedy is not only remembered as an admirable first lady, but also as one of the most notable fashion icons of all time. Her wardrobe often consisted of Chanel, Dior and Givenchy; she introduced women of the ‘60s to wool suits, bright dresses and large round sunglasses.
This week, some of you will walk into your first chemistry lab. Normally this should be an exciting experience, right? With all of the glassware, instruments, incubators and chemicals just waiting to be used, class becomes fun. That is, until you open that wooden drawer holding your tools and you see their grimy, gross and unsanitary condition.
Have you ever wished for Zooey Deschanel’s bright baby blues? Or maybe you have wanted Mario Lopez’s dimples.
When most people think about the happiest place in the world, the first thing that comes to mind is a white sandy beach, perfect weather and little societal stress. The last thing that comes to mind is a grey-snowy country. But that’s just where it is.
In April 2010, Apple took the world by storm when they announced the release of the iPad. Quite a few people, including myself, did not get the tablet’s function.
For the past year and a half that I’ve been walking the Tempe campus, I’ve seen my fair share of bike-pedestrian-skateboard collisions. Who hasn’t?
