It’s no secret that technology, specifically social media, has caused a huge change in the way that we live. Just take the fact that the Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) is telling teachers not to add their students on social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, or MySpace. Social media...

During the holiday season, shopping malls are lively and festive with decorations. The malls are open for a longer period of time during December. There is almost a sale everyday and you can see the competition among the stores. I enjoy seeing the bright red garlands and feel it adds to the celebration....

This year, December 25 will have an extra-special meaning to me. Not only is it Christmas, but it’s also the first day of the 2011-2012 NBA season. After waiting 149 days for a conclusion to be reached, on November 26, a fifteen-hour meeting between the NBA and the players ended the lockout and...

We’ve all heard about the dangers of “senioritis” and what it can do to your work ethic, but right now many students from the class of 2012 are living it. Late nights trying to finish assignments, long days dragging around school because of lack of sleep, and dozing off during class...
