So, yes, weed is fun. But the injustices surrounding it are dangerous and systemically racist.
It's become increasingly and vitally important to give ourselves a moment. To take upon ourselves the responsibility to recuperate our personal mental health.
But it meant everything to him, which is why it meant something to me.
If you have been on Netflix recently, you probably have seen the newest release, “Seaspiracy.” This documentary, filmed and produced by Kip Andersen, covers the environmental impact of fishing and how we are slowly killing the oceans. Everyone should watch this film to learn about our oceans, see the scenes of chaos we are inflicting on ocean species and ecosystems, and realize how many things are adding up to the destruction of our oceans. Here are some key takeaways and shocking facts from the film:
That’s right. Not only will we no longer be allowed to take an ounce of the stress off with a later credit/no credit deadline, but we also are seeing a heightened standard to graduate with Latin honors.
There’s something about accepting admission into a college, only to find out that its student body is considered to be one of the prettiest in the nation, and looking into that bathroom mirror, wondering if you’ll be enough.
Here at The Student, we are deeply invested in the future of this university. If we did not care about it, we would have given up our work a long time ago.
As customers in supermarkets, people have many options when it comes to purchasing raw meat. In recent years, there has been a rise in popularity of all natural, grass-fed, organic meats, as well as meat substitutes. Documentaries and novels about factory farming have brought awareness to the public of what happens to animals behind farm doors. People are now looking for brands that specify and ensure that their products are antibiotic-free, cage-free, and free range.
The OU v. Miami rivalry that I had known about and participated in for the grand majority of my life, is completely one sided. Like … embarrassingly one sided.
All of this is messed up. But if you compare it to what the women in my family have gone through, it feels small.
All in all, you have a lot of options for what vaccine to get, when to get it and where to get it. It’s a great problem to have, but it makes educating yourself that much more important.
For many Asian-Americans in this country, this is yet another addition of fear in a daily life that is often vigilant of racist attacks.
I personally don’t give a flying fuck about serving men, nor should any other woman.
Miami has a track record of racist behavior, and it’s on everyone in the Miami community to put an end to it.
Algal blooms, most often cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, can produce toxins when abundant and have been causing problems for the public for quite some time. When they are in “bloom” they appear to look like a colored film covering the surface of the water, this can be in a wide range of colors, however most often they appear green. They are referred to as “harmful algal blooms” or HABs when they are in abundance due to the effect that they can have on us and the environment. Harmful algal blooms can contaminate the water causing various sicknesses if ingested or skin irritation if it comes in contact with the body, not to mention the negative impacts on the surrounding wildlife.
As busy college students, I’m sure our day to day email inboxes all look pretty similar- a slew of Canvas notifications, club meeting reminders, and campus updates. Naturally, sorting through all this mail to distinguish what’s important and what's not can be time consuming and frustrating. While email is a convenient and quick mode of communication, it has developed into a chore for many of us.
These people, whom I affectionately refer to as “my coding friends,” may not know my name or where I live. But that doesn’t mean I’m not incredibly close with some of them.
While habits aren’t technically food, good habits do indeed nourish the mind & soul. As a matter of fact, Ibn Khaldun, universally recognized as the founder and father of Sociology and Sciences of History, stated that “Habits are qualities of the soul”. Not only do habits enable you to be on top of your responsibilities and obligations, but they also allow you to get mindful about your activities each day if you are intentional with them. I keep saying “good habits” and “being intentional with habits” because we all have habits regardless; in fact, a paper published by a Duke University researcher in 2006 revealed that over 40 percent of actions that people perform each day are habits, not actual decisions (Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit). Therefore, in order to have habits that improve our self-worth, mental health, emotional intelligence, and everything above, it is essential to develop good habits and eliminate the bad ones. What this entails is being mindful of how each of our habits makes us feel; for example, last semester it was a habit of mine to stay in Farmer for hours on end without interacting with another person or going home. I realized that this was a huge barrier for me to live a happy and healthy life, so this semester I have made a huge effort in coming home throughout the day or doing homework from home in order to ensure intermittent social interactions with my best friends.
One would have expected the tens-of-thousands of dollars in tuition would be enough to cover a few extra subscriptions to online papers.
While we are endorsing Petrella and Pal in this election, we do not believe they are perfect, or that they have everything figured out.
