Against the Odds: Why I Don’t Use Adderall

Feb 27, 2012
When I tell people that I’ve never used Adderall, they’re usually scandalized. For as much as those of us in the humanities are mocked at UCSD, we’re also responsible for roughly 3 million pages of reading and writing each quarter.

Feb 13, 2012
There’s a lot I’ll miss about being a student after I graduate this quarter. Something I won’t miss: the myriad ways that we admit, on a biweekly basis in class, “I have no idea what the hell we’re studying, but here are my thoughts on the matter, and also on something unrelated that will allow me to weave in ‘hegemony.’”

Feb 9, 2012
Susan G. Komen’s decision on Feb. 3 to reinstate funding to Planned Parenthood has been trumpeted as a clear victory for pro-choice advocates. The breast cancer awareness organization pulled $650,000 of funding from 16 Planned Parenthood affiliates 72 hours prior, under claims that they don’t fund institutions under governmental scrutiny.
