A friend of mine recently posted a link to an interesting video on Facebook about the effects of Facebook and other forms of social media on the brain. The video was originally posted by Cam Lincoln on mobiledia.com, and in it he describes a phenomenon we’ve all come to subconsciously realize: “I share, therefore I am.”

I’ve always known I wanted to be a STEM major, no questions asked. What’s surprising to me, though, is how few women seem to share my absolutism when it comes to pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

With the rapid shift to digitize just about everything, from college applications to coursework, it’s about time to update the well-worn and seemingly trite résumé.

Ask me or any other college student about our fears and you’ll see the look, the one that screams, “I’m in way over my head with debt, and on top of that, my tuition has increased every year I’ve been here.”

Cue the collective sighs of relief from health-conscious American consumers, harmonized with the groans of the food industry, lobbyists and the national budget.

In less than six years, the online petition site Change.org has become a sleek, efficient way of creating a petition and garnering online signatures to support your cause — but it’s also created a new form of lazy social activism that’s not nearly as impressive as it seems.

With the XXII Olympic Winter Games in full swing, it’s a time for excitement and the hope that people will come together peacefully and show their passion for competitive sports. It is a time to celebrate astounding athletic talent regardless of race, nationality, religion or gender.

It’s no secret that many UA students like to have a good time, whether it be at a kickback, house party, or even a frat bash.
