For all the preparing we do before getting into and going to college, there’s one thing we are rarely warned about: the isolation that often accompanies moving away from home for the first time. Despite sharing a room with another person, a bathroom with many other people and a kitchen with your entire campus, living without any familiar faces can lead to really depressing isolation.

Graduate school enrollment was on a steady incline until 2010, where a small decrease in enrollment numbers showed. The following two years showed a more severe drop in enrollment, though a study shows that it is slowly increasing back to the peak it reached in 2009. However, graduate school offers more than what is advertised to students and should be pursued more often than it is.

Despite being used since ancient times across the globe, psychedelic drugs remain illegal and stigmatized in the United States. The DEA lists psychedelics as Schedule 1 drugs, meaning they are officially considered to have no more medicinal value than life-threatening substances like heroin. This flies in the face of the actual scientific evidence and medical literature, which has established that psychedelics such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms have tremendous potential for treating crippling mental afflictions such as depression, anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. Research into psychedelics was interrupted by the War on Drugs in 1970, but modern doctors have returned to the subject and found exciting medical possibilities that warrant further exploration.

In my journey into the world of food production and waste, I stumbled upon a way I categorize my food that I never gave much thought to before. It’s something that most of us think about without realizing the consequences it has on the food system and the environment as a whole. That is the "perfectness" of a fruit or vegetable.

I have heard the same joke repeated all over the world: “Someone who knows three languages is multilingual, someone who knows two languages is bilingual and someone who knows one language is American.” Only 18% of Americans can speak a foreign language, compared to over half of Europeans. Foreign language education is vital to succeeding in a globalizing world, but the American education system fails to prioritize foreign language learning.

Nov. 2 marks the 100-year anniversary of the historic Balfour Declaration, which ultimately led to the creation of the state of Israel.

With endless assignments due for class, tuition bills always looming around the corner and trying to get as involved as possible on campus, the average college student has enough to worry about without spending an excessive amount on healthy food. When you’re pulling an all-nighter and Chick-fil-A is on the corner of your apartment building, it’s easiest to just stop in and pick something up.

Today is the day that many look forward to all year, a day of treats, spookiness and most of all, costumes. In a college town plagued with debt and laziness, the costumes seen can range from cat to sexy cat or nurse to sexy nurse. Honestly, who really budgets for a costume, so no judgement.

There are few things that teenagers despise more than being micromanaged — and it’s pretty clear that USC has missed the memo. From the moment a new student steps on campus, he or she is dragged by orientation leaders through various informational sessions and PSA skits before being put into a dorm under the watchful eyes of an RM. There is nothing wrong with being an orientation leader or RM, of course, but the fact that these positions exist says a lot about how the university perceives its students.

Islamophobia is a recurrent issue in America. How much is the media to blame for that? It is well known just how important the media are in shaping our views, so what has it told us about Muslims? To understand this question, we need to look into a few aspects of how Islam has been discussed in American society.

When you hear the names Steve Jobs, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, you probably see green dollar signs in front of your eyes, not a failing report card. These three highly successful innovators live — or lived — luxurious lives, never wanting for anything and setting their families up for success for generations to come.

The Trump administration is literally laying the groundwork for the genocide of Latinx people.

Trump, as politicians tend to do, made a lot of promises while out on the campaign trail. And as politicians also tend to do, he’s failed to deliver on some of them. Tick-tock, Mr. President, you promised us a wall.

In the wake of the deaths of U.S. Green Berets in Niger, many have been asking why we were ever there in the first place. Or, better yet, why the U.S. has so many troops in so many countries. Some have even gone so far to suggest that these deployments are nothing more than thinly veiled imperialism. Yet, I believe this use of troops is not just critical to the security of the U.S., but to the stability and security of Africa itself.

In recent social media news, a new movement has been sweeping Twitter and Facebook in the wake of the recent Harvey Weinstein scandal. Popularized by actress Alyssa Milano, the “Me Too” campaign has been sweeping feeds as women publicize their personal sexual assault stories. The “Me Too” campaign is not new and was not actually created by Milano, but by an African American woman named Tarana Burke in 2007. The campaign was started to help victims realize that they are not alone through seeing others around them posting #MeToo to show the magnitude of sexual assault.

From ancient Celtic times to the modern day, Halloween has been a tradition that represents a fun way for children to exploit their neighbors for candy and for everyone to dress up in crazy costumes. It signifies a holiday in which people have fun. However, Halloween is now being politicized, and this needs to stop.
