How to be an adult
FeaturesMarch 18, 2013
Being a grown-up used to be the glorified “someday” of our childish imaginations. Now it seems like the older we get, the less glorious it seems. Perhaps we’re afraid that growing up involves a bridle, reins and a wagonload of responsibility. Or perhaps we resist because we don’t know how to be adults. According to […]

SportsMarch 18, 2013
It would be impossible to mention sophomore J.T. Adenrele and not touch on his work ethic. During the offseason, Adenrele hit the gym every single day and stuck to a grueling training regimen that gave him the size and strength necessary to become a true center for UC Davis.

Dress for success
OpinionMarch 18, 2013
As we are all well aware of, finals are coming up. This entails much-dreaded, sleepless nights of trying to relearn all the material we’ve learned this entire quarter.
