In 84 minutes, “Reno 911!: Miami” convinced me that writers have run out of creativity and major movie studios have lost their ability to discern between funny and obscene. This was after sitting through a brainless and repetitive compilation of foolish jokes that seemed to have been written by a 7-year-old.

Am I really over drafted yet again?
I remember the first time I signed up for a credit card, because it was only a few months ago. Perhaps I recall that time really well, not because of the “achievement” of getting my own credit card itself, but because of the problems that it helped me solve.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
Ask almost any student on the Pierce campus what they want to do with their life and you’ll get the same response: a shrug of the shoulders and a blank look. It seems that despite enrolling for classes, declaring majors and planning transfers to four-year universities, many students still haven’t conjured up a response to the age old question “What do you want to be when you grow up?” To be fair, almost everyone has a vague idea of what interests them and what they’d like to avoid at all costs.
Angry Angelenos in good old-fashioned fist-fight
The first of March was a breezy, gray day in the San Fernando Valley, one of those days that force Angelenos to wear the winter outfits we keep in our closets to use for only two months out of a year. Maybe the increasingly angry El Niño phenomenon will change that.
Am I a really becoming a senior citizen at 25?
My head hung low beneath the bill of my baseball cap as I tried to disguise my hangover from the night before. Slumped deep into the concave-shaped chair intricately placed in the back of my 11 a.m. journalism class, I started to feel the consequences of my actions in my stomach.

The future of college students across America is looking brighter, economically speaking, after the House of Representatives voted to cut student loan interest costs in half. The College Student Relief Act of 2007 will benefit more than five million undergraduate students across the country.
Is counseling enough to transfer?
They say the act of transferring from community college to a four-year university has slowly become a thing of the past. They say due to a student’s lack of understanding for the IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum), money spent for unnecessary units and stacks of books is being thrown away and lost in a sea of ignorance.
Hot food, cool music
The cafeteria may become the coolest place on campus, at least on Wednesday evenings, with “Live Wednesday” debuting tonight from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. “Lots of people have asked us to offer the kind of things they can find at the Freudian Sip,” said Linda Brown, cafeteria manager.
Drink, eat and sing:
An afternoon entitled “Un jour sans vin est comme un jour sans soleil” describes an event filled with French culture infused with wine, hour-d’oeuvres and of course, French music. The quote, which translates to “A day without wine is like a day without sun,” was an appropriate to title for the annual wine tasting reception that featured Pierce College’s choir, the Los Angles Symphonic Winds, the premiere of two musical pieces and a selection of Californian and French wines.
Black History Open Mic Night: Celebrating progress
In celebration of Black History Month, performers took the stage at the Freudian Sip last week and shared their thoughts with poetry, prose and song. Initially scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. outside the Sip, the event was pushed back half an hour after nearly 45 degree temperatures forced a move indoors.
