My life as a photographer and UC Davis photojournalist began the first day of my junior year, Sept. 24, 2009. I remember how excited I was as I opened the box for my new Canon 40d and mounted on my 17-85mm lens. I had just taken a financial leap and spent all my summer savings for the gear, believing it would provide me the tools to create a future in photography.

Editor 1: So, what are we writing our last editorial about?

I realized too late that Memorial Day jipped me of a column. I had planned to do my very last as a "Response to my fans," but lucky for me, I was offered a final chance to share parting words with my readers.

My friend Jacob Frank is probably the most LinkedIn-savvy person I know. The senior American studies major has had an array of internships in public relations and sports marketing, including a summer internship with the National Football League. Part of his impressive resume can be attributed to the professional social networking website.

I must inform you that the advertisement in The Aggie on Thursday titled "The Palestinians' Case Against Israel is Based on a Genocidal Lie" has two major flaws which make it very suspicious. First, it is written in a style of extreme propaganda. Second, its content is a denial of a human rights violation.

Associated Students Providing Alternative Publications Equal Resources is an ASUCD special project whose funding was recently cut.

On Thursday, a paid advertisement titled "The Palestinians' Case Against Israel is Based on a Genocidal Lie" was printed on page seven of The California Aggie. As editor in chief of The Aggie, a part of my job is to act as the final filter of all advertisements. Put simply, if I deem an ad to be unprintable, it will not be published.

In my column this year, I took a few positions that seemed less than popular with a college audience. Two in particular stand out: keeping tax cuts for the rich at the federal level and opposing the proposed tax extensions in the state of California (which almost certainly means higher tuition rates for you and me).

The opinion expressed by Mark Ling on the issue of David Horowitz's ad does not represent the view of the entire Editorial Board.

Fourteen years ago, my second grade classmates and I plotted our lifelines. Scribbled drawings and nearly-illegible captions adorned the long paper accordions, mapping all the pivotal events that were to occur in our futures.

The sun is shining, the ducks are quacking next to Mrak Hall and the suicidal squirrels are trying to kill you while you're riding your bike. Praise the rotation of the Earth! Happy almost summer, fellow Aggies! We can finally say peace-out to spring quarter.

As faculty at UC Davis, we were appalled to read a half-page paid advertisement by right-wing activist David Horowitz in The Aggie on Thursday.

Bravo to the UC Davis Law Student Association (LSA) for being strong enough to withstand the velvet-gloved tactics of the Palestinian Lobby and ignore a deliberately inflammatory proposal (\

My mom plucks my eyebrows. I run a bit. I play videogames. I like sad music.

Like Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer, I contemplate the messages on greeting cards quite often.
