This is the year. The year where I set my goals and finish what I started. I'm getting up at 4 a.m. and hitting the gym! Oh, those cheese sticks look good! OK. Next year. Next year is the year I finish...
Pass the salt? Oh, by the way, pass the boy. I am not a fan of sharing, regardless of how cute a guy's accent is. This episode was kind of nasty. Lots of spit swapping and lip-lock action. And it only...
I'm convinced. People have way more than two faces. This week was basically 'let's bash on certain people then blame other individuals for the bashing!' Poor Parisa was the target of the week as Dunbar...
The emergency telephone in Mendocino Hall proved to be ineffective around 11:50 a.m. when six students were stuck in the elevator after waiting nearly 30 minutes for help. Students said they used the emergency...
WOW. This was the most uncomfortable episode this season so far. Religion, homosexuals and crying! My goodness! Grow up. This week on the Real World, anger sparked as Trisha confronted her worst enemy:...
For the record, my favorite skittle is the red one. OK. So! Another day, another argument. Seriously, when do these people not argue? Their pathetic arguments and catty remarks are almost as bad as the...
I have to admit, I had to check myself at the door and leave my bias attitude in the bay. For so long, I have been comparing great Mexican food to past eateries I have visited. I was skeptical about this...
Episode 3: posted 12:29 p.m., 8/23/07 So we took a week off. Which is good! Shauvon needed to fall back a bit so the other roommates can have their moments. And, oh did they! It was seriously like watching...
Editor's note: This blog will focus mainly on former State Hornet staff writer Shauvon Torres' role on the newest season of MTV's "The Real World," set in Sydney. Torres wrote for The State Hornet during...
Oooo DIS! It's one thing to tell someone that you may think a girl has a crush on you, but it is completely different when you tell everyone you live with that she may be head over heels for you. Dunbar...
Psy-Psy-PSYCHO! My, my, did I speak too soon! What happened to the love chemistry? What happened to stealing kisses in the confessional? What happened to me saying to stick with Cohutta!? Mrs. Shauvon...
The spring 2007 semester has been a bit hard to handle. We as a nation and a school have gone through more trials and tribulations that I can remember going through in my four years at Sacramento State....
There's no parking, my books are too expensive and I can't afford my tuition. My professors are upset that their contracts are not being negotiated well. OK, so who should my finger be pointed at? I know...
I'm done. I'm so done with school. I'm putting down my flash cards, recycling my textbooks and walking out of the Library. This campus has seen the last of me. Wait, I still have a semester left? I'm not...
You walk off campus with a diploma in hand and head full of whatever you've retained during your four or more years in college. I'm sure you've all heard the saying, "Graduating in four years is like leaving...
When I hit 18, no one ever gave me a manual for the rest of my life. I was never told about the adversities that can occur in the years to come. Well, that's a lie. My parents did, but I was 18 and didn't...
I'm small and come in all different colors. I can be taken legally or illegally. I can be helpful or lethal. I'm depended on and expected to work miracles. What am I? If you guessed Skittles, you're wrong....
Let's get one thing straight. No one likes the drunken girl at the party. And vice versa, no one likes the belligerent drunken guy. So how can you avoid becoming the drunken disaster at the bottom of the...
If I hear one more person underestimate what I do in life, school or work, I think I might physically hurt that person. Students go through so many obstacles throughout their college careers that it's...
I'm sure we've all seen the Dr. Phil episode where the "other woman" willingly wants to confront her lover and his wife on national television. Affairs happen all the time, but what happens when you are...
If teachers go on strike, we're screwed. Not exactly, but we pretty much are. Think about it. If things blew up into something huge, classes could be halted, canceled or pushed back and we would be forced...
It's complicated, yet attainable. It takes a special type of person and can only be done if agreements are set prior to engaging in this activity. Having someone to share that special bond with is much...
There use to be a time when everyone knew their position. It used to be all about waiting for him to come up to you. So, whatever happened to the guy making the initiative to get to know you? Am I lost?...
Last Tuesday, I walked into class and took my seat waiting for the instructor to walk in. Behind me sat two girls talking about their mundane dates on Friday. To my right sat three guys laughing it up...
I drove onto campus on a gorgeous, sunny afternoon juiced because I actually found a spot, and I avoided all the people who drive around aimlessly, acting like they've never seen a stop sign before. After...
It's the first week back at school and things are a little hectic, but if you just follow the yellow chalk road, I'm sure you'll know what I mean. Between trying to balance seven million books in one hand...
Ah, yes, California! Our state is known for so much around the United States, whether it is our beautiful cities, Disneyland or Hollywood.Yet there is one more phenomenon that seems to have taken over...
If you think about it, Sacramento State is pretty much one of the coolest state schools in California. We have so much to offer the many prospective students coming into this school, minus a parking spot....
There are so many children trying to grow up and act mature and, at the same time, there are several adults still trying to act their shoe size. Has the world flipped somehow? It seems that everywhere...
If you were to imagine the perfect college students, you would probably construct some image of young adults with books falling from; their hands, a trendy backpack and some sort of perfect job they have...
Last Tuesday, I walked into class and took my seat waiting for the instructor to walk in. Behind me sat two girls talking about their mundane dates on Friday. To my right sat three guys laughing it up...
It's official. Halloween is five days away. I am completely ready to hit up the bars, clubs and houses to score some free candy. I have my outfit all planned out and ready to be shown. I love it when I...
So it all started with PBS's 1973 "American Family," which followed the Loud Family from Santa Barbara. That show inspired "The Real World" on MTV. That inspired another show, and another show and another...
Jingle Bells, jingle bells! Christmas is just days away! Before you know it, you'll be sitting around the fire, drinking egg nog, exchanging gifts with your significant other and - wait a minute, did she...
A friendly pat on the back, brushing up against one another down the hall or holding eye contact for just one second too long; How close is too close when it comes to having a relationship with your teacher?...
There was this girl. We?ll call her Sara. Sara met a man who she thought was the man of her dreams. He was everything she had always wanted. He was tall, dark and handsome. He played football on Saturdays...
