Most of us go through these moments that truly hurt us deep inside. We cry, we weep, we long, and we remember. Almost all of these moments involve human relationships that were once indestructible but are now painful memories. The loss of someone dear, the break-up between couples, the betrayal of someone we once thought we knew and loved.
There is nothing like a 25-hour plane ride to make you hate sitting down forever. That was exactly what I endured when my Delta flight took me all the way via multiple transits from Malaysia to this great country. I was optimistic, excited, thrilled to the extent of sheer jubilee and cold. Oh boy, was I cold. You can take the boy out of the tropics but you can’t take the tropics out of the boy. And just my luck, it was the start of a blistering cold winter in the west side of Michigan.
How do men get women to like us? We’re not particularly smart, God knows we have no sense of hygiene, and most often than not we are loud, crude and over the top obscene. So, why do our female counterparts find us attractive enough to go out with us?
As human beings, are we not expected to discover greatness outside the norms of society and conformity? Should we not challenge ourselves instead of being confined in safety, only to be fed by the big spoon of the desired social system? Living, in itself, is about setting apart one’s self from the world in search of new experiences.
The American Dream. The Land of the Free. Hollywood. You may recognize these terms from almost anywhere in the world and right away connect them to the U.S.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With Thanksgiving and Christmas just around the corner, everyone’s starting to get into the spirit of such joyous occasions.
I could talk about the new President, but you must have heard about it to death by now. So, let’s just leave it that way then. What else can we conjure up now that the election is over? Do we have nothing else to debate, talk, discuss or converse about anymore?
As I am writing to you now, I have the privilege of witnessing yet another snowfall that prompts me to claim the official arrival of winter - even though it’s not even December yet.

As you may already know, there’s been a behemoth of new and unfamiliar faces around campus lately, which means that it’s the new semester and people from all over Michigan, the United States and even the world are right here right now. Oh, how I enjoy seeing excited and nervous faces while they’re trying to figure themselves out in this place.
If you are like me, then you’re probably thinking about your love life a lot more than you should be. Regardless if you’re a guy or girl, we all suffer from I’m-Going-To-Die-Alone phobia, which I assure you is not the worst thing that could happen to you.
Most of you would still remember the big twerking fail video on Youtube where a girl was filming herself twerking before falling back first onto a glass table filled with candles and her leg lit up on fire. Yes, that was hilarious. But, did you also know that the video was actually fake?
I usually tend to steer away from politics or anything over-stimulating that will rouse the masses into a frenzy when being discussed, but it has come to my attention that there are people in this great nation that still believe in the fear.
We recognize what our lives are worth on this Earth. We judge them according to what we have strived for and also what others have determined for us. As harsh as it sounds, our lives are not just for us. Everyone in this world is a connection to someone in some shape or form and we are ultimately intertwined with one another. That is why it is always a difficult time when someone passes on from this life.
If you have been feeling like death lately, do not panic because you are not alone. Lately, “the flu” has been going around campus and infecting people everywhere. I know this firsthand because I, too, was infected when one of my roommates spread it unknowingly in the entire apartment. No, that was not cool.
There comes a time when one movie changes the whole dimension between the “then” and the “now.” The Jazz Singer made the advent of sound like The Wizard of Oz popularized the use of color. And 2001: A Space Odyssey gave us a glimpse of space, while Avatar made 3D its own. And now: the movie that will set apart the notion between just watching and being close enough to feel it, Gravity has made its mark.
My fellow Lakers, I write to you now as a single guy hoping to catch a break. It’s been many years since I’ve been involved with another human being, and during that time, there have been too many unmentionable tribulations. It’s ironic that the amount of romantic comedies and love ballads I’ve experienced in my life have brought me to a standstill. My relationship status as of right now has no specific category because words cannot describe it.
Every year on the last day of this very month, we subject ourselves to a tradition widely known for celebrating pop culture, past history or current trends that have gone viral. We pick out the best that we think will showcase our creativity in being relevant to our peers.

For some reason, I remember an easier time in terms of meeting new people and the ways we communicated with them. We had the ability and power to express ourselves whether privately or in public. There was no stigma in the social realm that would prohibit us otherwise, unlike today.
