More than just a workout at the gym
W hen I go to the gym, it seems that half the people work out, while use the mirrors to admire themselves. Los Angeles is one of the few places where the gym serves as a social gala. For instance, my girlfriend won’t put on make-up when we go out with my friends (this wasn’t an easy catch, I just want to see the fruits of my labors), but waiting for her to get dolled up for the gym is a trying experience.
Shoes: the good, the bad, the ugly
Shoes are to people like gas is to cars, you can’t possibly go anywhere without them. First and foremost remember that a great-looking shoe doesn’t always equal comfort. People will go to great lengths to get their feet into a must-have pair of shoes.
Body-image struggles
You look good, but you could look better,” is what one boyfriend told me as we sat by the swimming pool one summer day in 2004. What he didn’t realize as those words left his mouth, was that I had been struggling with body image issues since I was 18 years old.

As the enemy surrounds me from all sides, I do a twisting jump on their heads while Yoshi eats them up with his big red tongue saving my life.
Gas prices hit the ceiling
Increasing gas prices shouldn’t make me seek another part- time job. In the past year, costs have increased immensely. This affects not only college students, but the general population. Just one week ago, a 7-cent increment for every gallon of regular, unleaded and diesel fuel was implemented at various gas stations.
only the Cheerful NEED apply
A contagious smile, a cheerful heart, a little bit of experience and a learning attitude are the requirements needed to join a Pierce College cheerleading squad on the rise. Anticipating a larger squad and three teams with the necessary tools to compete for a championship, the fall semester is their time to shine.
Predictions for the Fall ’06 sports season
Women’s Soccer † Last year’s women’s soccer team can be described in three words: one win away. After a heart-breaker to Long Beach City College in the semifinals by one penalty kick, head coach Adolfo Perez has regrouped even after losing several players from that team.
