Thanksgiving traditions vary, even across campus

November 14, 2016November 14, 2016 Myriam Medina0

Thanksgiving has been a classic American holiday my family participates in for as long as I can remember. Every year my mom’s family and ours gather together for a family dinner. Whether that’s at my family’s, my aunt’s or my grandma’s house, we always celebrate the holiday together. The women in my family prepare a delicious […]

Yoga and Pilates are beneficial to college students

October 30, 2016June 30, 2024 Myriam Medina0

At the beginning of the semester, I knew I wanted to get into the routine of practicing yoga. The year before, I’d attended a yoga class at the Wellness Center, and upon leaving the class, I noticed that I immediately felt relaxed and at peace. I knew it helped me alleviate the stress I was […]

Full-time students with part-time jobs must find balance

October 24, 2016December 13, 2021 Myriam Medina0

As a college student trying to learn how to be financially responsible, I’m fully acquainted with the world of part-time jobs. I’ve spent many weekends, evenings and holidays since my senior year of high school earning a little extra income to supplement my coffee addiction, as well as paying for other necessities like my not-so-glamorous cell […]

Group projects only beneficial under certain conditions

October 17, 2016 Myriam Medina0

I’ve never been very fond of group projects. It might just be that I like the idea of being responsible for my own work and having control when everything gets done. I know I’m not the only one that isn’t particularly fond of group projects, as many of my friends don’t seem to like them, either. […]

USD theatre, fine arts departments deserve more admiration

October 11, 2016 Myriam Medina0

I recently had the pleasure of attending “The Two Gentlemen of Verona” by William Shakespeare at the Wayne S. Knutson Theatre. I was very excited to be attending the play, as the only other play I’ve attended was “Romeo and Juliet” a few years back. One of the things I really loved about the play […]

Students should prioritize reading

September 26, 2016December 13, 2021 Myriam Medina0

Recently, I finished reading “It Ends With Us” by Colleen Hoover, a book a dear friend recommended. The book is magnificent with just the right amount of romance, foreshadowing and complexity. These are all qualities I look for when deciding whether or not a book is a good read. I hadn’t read a book that wasn’t assigned in a […]

September 19, 2016 Myriam Medina0

One of the hardest things about moving away from home has been finding ways of eating healthy meals while being on a budget. As a freshman and sophomore, getting food wasn’t such a big issue for me because I was on a meal plan that covered everything I could possibly need each week. Even though […]

Traveling abroad is an unforgettable opportunity

September 10, 2016December 13, 2021 Myriam Medina0

A short trip can change your perspective on life and inspire you for years to come. I’ve only traveled out of the country once, and that was for a trip down to Mexico back when I was in fifth grade. I was visiting my family members and I wasn’t completely on my own; however, I […]

September 6, 2016 Myriam Medina0

Whether it’s chatting with an old friend over coffee or going to a party, cell phones seem to have a core place in social interactions. I have had countless conversations interrupted by a text or notification. The issue isn’t with technology; technology itself is a fascinating topic of discussion all by itself. The issue is […]
