Why College Students Should Write Poetry
By: Lilly Kate Diaz ‘20
In the words of John Keating (played by Robin Williams) from Dead Poets’ Society. Okay, so yes – I am a little biased when it comes to poetry because I, myself, am a poet. But in this post, I’m going to tell you why college students (and honestly, everyone) should write poetry.
Money Tips for College Students
By: Lilly Kate Diaz ‘20
I’m sure we’ve all joked about being broke. (Who hasn’t been the broke college student?) But as adults, we have to have some responsibility with money. And as we pass February and the following months, we will experience some type of drainage from our wallets. So, as I have done some seeking of ways to save money, I figured that I should pass down 5 tips that I think are super useful. These tips don’t need to go in order, but you can if you want!
Food Insecurity + Resources
By: Lilly Kate Diaz ‘20
Certain foods are important for our bodies. We know that. Yet, college students (whether community college, college/university) are experiencing food insecurity. And while we may make self-deprecating jokes about it, in the end – it’s not that funny; it’s pretty serious. In a 2016 Los Angeles Times article, data revealed that 4 out of 10 students in the UC system did not have consistent healthy foods. An earlier study (based in University of Hawai’i) discovered that ~20% of their students would skip meals. Some of you might be saying, “Well, instant ramen is the way to go.” But no. It’s not. By eating these cheap, instant foods, you’re damaging your body and depriving it of the nutrients that it needs. So, I thought it be best to share some information on where you can get help/resources to aid your/others’ food insecurity.
