On Thursday, Dec. 14, just as CSUSM students wrapped up finals and prepared for winter break, a pivotal decision in Washington threatened to drastically change the scape of internet and media as we know it: the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality regulations.

Valentine's Day is coming up soon, and only a couple of months after we made it through several weeks of New Year's Resolutions. These two traditions tend to polarize people toward a "love it!" or "hate it!" attitude.
Realizing that both are valid opinions is imperative. This 2018 New Year, I saw...
Another semester is almost under our belts, Cougars! Amazing job making it through the readings, assignments, tests, projects and papers, thus far. We’re in the home stretch, and it’s time to shift into high gear. Your friends at The Cougar Chronicle are rooting for you, have faith in your...
It befuddles me to read such a blatantly biased article published in our school newspaper. The article which attacks International Men’s Day as “unnecessary” is such an affront to reason, that it begs a response.

Freedom is a privilege. Waking up everyday with no second guesses about your liberty is a blessing. Realization of that privilege is important, because few stop and think about lack of human rights as a reality.

As I run the last lap of my college career, I’ve become especially reflective of all that I’ve learned and experienced since my freshman year. I’m incredibly thankful that I go to a school which is encompassed by some of the most thoughtful, genuine human beings that I have come across - some of...
A movement.
The eight-letter word encapsulates current and future conditions of an array of people groups.
Without the unity of individuals toward a common cause, we would have had no Women’s Movement nor Civil Rights Movement. I likely would not be writing this piece were it not for the women...
I have three brothers and no living sisters, yet I was not the only daughter born into my family. On Aug. 18, 1987, my older sister, Lisa, was born at 20 weeks and amounted to the size of an adult hand. Too small and too weak to survive, she passed away within minutes of birth.
When speaking of...
Have you ever received a genuine compliment that blew you away? Not just a “you look nice today,” but an “I appreciate you for…” or “you impacted me by…”
Our world is starving for encouragement. If a fleeting thought passes your mind and the expression of it would result in the...
“You are bold, you are brilliant and you are beautiful.”
These are the powerful words that body activist, Ashley Graham, spoke in a TED Talk which changed the way I look at myself in the mirror.
From when I was in high school until about a year ago, I was afraid of shopping and trying on clothes....
