Federally funded meals must be nutritional
Recently there has been uproar about Congress accepting pizza as a vegetable for school lunches. In my personal food pyramid, pizza definitely falls into the vegetable category. Granted this is mostly because I don’t have time to prepare nutritional home-cooked meals or the money to pay for healthy restaurants.

After Saturday's game against Clemson, a man was charged with four counts of armed robbery after pulling a gun on four people and demanding their wallets and money, according to an article in The State.

The day after Thanksgiving is infamously known as Black Friday — the day when shoppers wake up painfully early, search out the best deals and do whatever they can to get the majority of their holiday shopping finished by the end of the weekend. However, another name for the day is Buy Nothing Day — an alternative title and message for a holiday based on overconsumption.

Clocks should remain on standard time
As college students, an extra hour added to our Sunday schedule was quite nice. Daylight saving time ended beginning standard time, and we now get to lazily adjust our sleep schedules for the next week. Early classes at 8 a.m. will now feel like 9 a.m., making them not quite as painful. The only drawback will be exiting evening classes to the cold and dark. While "falling back" is much more convenient than "springing forward," daylight saving time in general seems kind of pointless.

I didn't mind taking off my shoes or removing all of my electronics and placing them in bins for inspection. It didn't bother me to walk through a metal detector, and I even planned ahead and packed all of my cosmetics and liquids in the less-than-three fluid ounces restriction. I also didn't mind that the monitors scanned my luggage and airport security could see the contents of my suitcase. These security measures didn't bother me because I didn't experience the drastic precautions often taken.

Deadlines to turn in applications for summer internships are quickly approaching and the yearly stress of sending in résumés and work samples is looming over students desperate for the one opportunity that could be the experience they need.

On a college campus with various student organizations, students can simply walk through Russell House or down Greene Street and be informed about the severity of these topics. And I agree that these issues are incredibly important and everyone needs to be made aware of them. However, it shouldn't take an Important Issue Awareness Month for people to care about these pressing topics.

It was entertaining to see the movement that’s been dominating headlines and topics of conversation firsthand. However, it was unsettling to see children who appeared to be under the age of 10 in the mix. I’m a strong supporter of freedom of speech — even for the ones who aren’t even legal. But I’m pretty sure little kids don’t understand having a job, earning an income or wealth distribution.

Sometimes students take 21 hours in their last semester. Or they stay another football season and graduate in December.

Regardless of USC's reasoning for not giving us the day off, the fact that an institution of higher education didn't deem the holiday worthy of a break says a lot about the day and other companies should reconsider how they "celebrate" it.

At Saturday's game I wasn't proud to be sitting in the student section, and it wasn't because our team played badly.

Health care has been a nationwide epidemic dominating politics for a while, but the reality of the issue became clear when the faculty and staff health care center, Primary Care Partners, left its campus location in July.

This year, the university selected “No Impact Man” for the entire incoming freshman class to read before the annual First-Year Reading Experience. Because I’m a resident mentor at West (Green) Quad, I also read this book over the summer. I was pleased to see that a book was finally chosen that would be more relevant than previous years’ selections. While I appreciated that I could read all of “Persepolis” the day before I moved in my freshman year, I don’t remember much about that graphic novel other than that it was 90 percent pictures.
