You may recognize the title of this column, as it relates to the ’90s horror movie I Know What You Did Last Summer, but my winter break has given me much worse nightmares, and yours has too. All UC schools shortened the break to two weeks, and all of our old friends from state schools […]

Though our winter break seemed short this year, I don’t think I needed much more time to create a literal nest of blankets and pillows on my sofa at home. Every day I, and I bet most of the readers as well, would wake up and immediately sit down on my favorite cushion for whatever […]

As our society continually falls deeper and deeper into ecological debt toward Mother Nature, humans are presented with the daunting task of restoring balance. One trend to help solve this problem that is gaining popularity by engineers and designers is the green roof. Simply put, a green roof is a specially engineered, layered rooftop that […]

Over the past 10 weeks, it seems like I’ve worn everything from floral dresses to men’s button-ups. It makes me kind of nostalgic (and, let’s be real, also kind of mortified) to think about all the looks I’ve gone through in my life. While my fashion sense has changed tremendously over the years – and […]

I appreciate my time writing these little columns, and I’m happy to say that Tunespoon is finished. I just have some things left to address. You like what you like. No one can change that. Be proud of it. Own it. Music is meant to be yours to love. Sing it in the shower, hum […]

Over the last 10 weeks, it has been my pleasure to add to the continuing discussion on education we have been having in this country. Using Calvin and Hobbes has made this experience all the better for me, and I hope that you have also found the comic to be as instructive as it is […]

As Aggies all around begin to descend upon the caffeine-fueled, hyper-stressful and terrifying experience that is finals week, they best be prepared. If you need to get off campus, the city of Davis has an abundance of cafes providing Wi-Fi, tables, couches and coffee. Lots of coffee. To start a good study day off right, […]

On July 17, Eric Garner, an unarmed black man, was killed by white New York City Police Department officer Daniel Pantaleo, in yet another case of excessive police brutality against a black American citizen. The attack on Garner by Pantaleo was recorded on a three-minute cell phone video by a bystander. The video clearly captures […]

Going home for Thanksgiving was a sweet, short taste of what home is all about. It was a brief reminder of how much I have changed since last being home (it probably also was for freshmen who feel they have reinvented themselves in college) and how some things will always stay the same (like how […]

I decided to be nice that night, throwing out our apartments collective trash. It feels good to do that sometimes – you know, doing a solid for your roomies. But what I saw in one of the trash cans can never be unseen – a used condom. My first instinct was to immediately charge inside […]

On November 24, UC Davis students and workers, joined by supportive Walmart workers fighting for better pay, benefits, and respect at work, rallied to oppose the recent tuition increase and fight for public education. We marched through downtown and ultimately occupied Olson Hall to raise visibility of our fight. Many students are aware of the […]

It’s that time of the quarter. As finals loom, many of us are still struggling to find that perfect study space. In keeping with our mission of “serving” the campus, we have compiled our favorite spots to study on and off campus. You’re welcome. __ Alissa — Managing Editor: My favorite place to study is […]
