Some things in the world are universal: kindness, a smile, laughter, a hug. These are the things I experienced while in Guatemala despite an enormous language barrier between “las amigas” (my friends) and I.
As much as I hate to admit it, one of the things I look forward to on any holiday is seeing what type of innovative doodle Google has come up with. It is always an interesting experience to see how creative the different doodles are and how imaginative Google proves to be over time. Therefore, you can only imagine my surprise when I saw that Google’s homepage on Easter Sunday did not feature an Easter related doodle. Instead, the website chose to honor Cesar Chavez who would have been 86 years old.
So, the saying is true. Time flies when you least expect it. Yet, how is it that time can always be slipping away from us?
On March 20, YouTube announced that it had reached a staggering 1 billion users per month. The site is continuing to grow, with higher production content for users, and with mobile devices becoming more prominent, it seems a shift could be in the near future.

Some may disagree, but I think change is good. Whatever those changes may be, I firmly believe that a person is able to make changes to his or her life by taking a step back to look at things with a new perspective.
Over the past several years, the journalism industry has seen many changes and these changes are proving to be large contributing factors to the gradual decline of traditional journalism.
I wouldn’t classify myself as a feminist, nor do I promote any radical gender reform, but I believe in gender equality. As I watched television the other day, a commercial came on for Lucille Roberts Women’s Fitness Center. I have never really given much thought to a gender-specific facility before but it got me wondering if promoting such facilities was in our country’s best interest. How can men and women be equal if we keep creating these places that separate us?
“What are you doing for your spring break?” has been the most popular question in my classes I have heard over the past few weeks. As usual, there are the general responses of going to Florida, cruises, skiing, and, of course, visiting grandma and grandpa for the week.
When I was in the first grade, I remember writing down all of the things I wanted to be when I grew up; an astronaut, a teacher, a mommy, a puppy. I wanted to be anything I found inspiring and fun.
