Graduation is a time where students who have dedicated years to developing knowledge and talent are given the spotlight to highlight their achievements.

While few would argue that some changes to the U.S. health care system were necessary, most agree that the Affordable Care Act has many negative aspects in addition to its obvious positives.
The law has expanded health insurance to roughly 31 million additional Americans, but there are implications of the law that are having a negative effect on all citizens, regardless of their insurance status.
If you ask Democrats about the ACA, you might hear about how it provides near-universal access to health insurance for Americans.
If you ask Republicans, you’ll likely hear about how the insurance mandate is killing jobs and health care quality.
If you ask college students, you might hear about how you can stay on your parents’ insurance until the age of 26, a saving grace for many.
If you ask a health care professional, well, you will hear a variety of opinions.
However, one major fault of “Obamacare” that no one can argue is the fact that patient responsibility is not included in the bill.
Working with insurance customers and patients on a daily basis, I’ve seen how damaging this missing piece is to the health care system.

When we think of organized religion, everyone seems to have a different, yet strong opinion. As times and society evolve, so has the presence and role of the church and Christianity. In May of 2013, a Gallup poll found that 77 percent of Americans believe religion is losing its influence. This is the highest percentage since the poll’s inception in 1957. The poll indicates these numbers were heavily influenced by whether or not people attended church regularly. While there are a number of explanations for Americans’ feelings on this matter, I feel there are several contributing factors worth examining.

USC reached a milestone this semester by enrolling almost 32,000 students, which raises the question: Where are they going to park?
The university offers permits in garages for one semester, daily garage parking and meter parking, and a parking pass can be purchased for several commuter lots. A semester spot in a garage is only sold to a limited number of students, which leaves the rest of the parking spots on a first-come, first-serve basis that are often full before 8 a.m. and usually remain full until 5 p.m. Presently, these four options only provide parking for a fraction of the enrolled student population.
