I currently find myself in an environment that I never expected to become a part of.
A year ago, I had no idea which university I would end up at. I did have my heart set on a few other universities I was accepted into, but I couldn’t even consider attending them due to expense issues. This, of...
Thanksgiving, a nationally recognized holiday for the goodwill between two groups of people, is celebrated every November. Yet, the history of such an event can be hazy when it is not taught accurately. Such has been the case for this national holiday and related topics of American history, including...
Layda Galvan: Editor-in-Chief: “The best part of Thanksgiving is not only the food, but it is when all families gather and share what they have made with lots of love. The best part of Thanksgiving is when my family travels from Mexico to celebrate with us.”

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.

I have a dream. To one day see every man and woman regard themselves as uniquely beautiful, talented and an essential puzzle piece of this world we call home. To blur the lines of harsh comparison and lessen the need for cutthroat competition.
While on the one hand, I see incredible rewards that...
Suicide. It is a touchy subject that makes most uncomfortable to talk about. However, everyday, someone feels like their life has no purpose, or they are not good enough, and they choose to end it. Just like many say, suicide is a permanent decision to end temporary pain
Nov. 18 was dedicated by the...

Have you ever watched an action movie in which the star is a good-looking male surviving the most absurd situations? Or have you noticed women being the sole drive of the makeup industry? These are gender roles that have been implemented in media we watch. Yet, stereotypical notions surrounding gender...
