Earlier this month, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation that will allow terminally ill people to take their own life with the help of a physician, making California the sixth state to legalize physician-assisted suicide, or PAS.
PAS is not a new concept. Switzerland has allowed assisted suicides to take place since 1947. In Belgium, euthanasia is legal, including...

Since cell phones have become so important to people’s everyday life, companies have come up with an idea to invent an app that makes ordering food much easier.

I like to think I have a pretty good sense of humor, and I credit my parents for this.
"Funny" is the emotional thread that runs through my childhood. "Funny" trumped everything, even when it wasn't intended to. My father would occasionally blurt things out in the middle of yelling at one of us kids that would make the whole affair spontaneously devolve into a standup routine.

Why should students at Bakersfield College have to pay for parking? It is ridiculous that after all of the money we put into going to school here, we still have to pay to park on campus.
Considering other expenses college students have throughout a semester here, the thought of an added one like parking seems a bit over the top. Still, this would be fine if not for the fact...

When remaking films, directors choose to either stick to its original as close as poss...

Every year as the month of October approaches, I begin to anxiously wait for the new batch of horror movies to be released. This year, the one that was the first to catch my eye was directed by the one and only M. Night Shyamalan. After finding out that this movie was directed by the same man that directed "The Sixth Sense", "Signs" and "The Happening" (just to name a few),...

Finally, summer is winding down, and fall is nearing.
As the sky begins to have grayer days, the temperatures begin to fall. It’ll be nice to walk out of our houses and get in our cars without that instant rush of nearly unbearable heat – the heat that is seemingly just waiting for you in your car.
The season of sweatshirts and jackets allows for more diversity when...

With the Supreme Court’s passing of same-sex marriage back in June, it came as a complete shock to me when I heard that a county clerk from Kentucky, Kim Davis, was not issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. At first, my thought process questioned, “Under what authority does this woman think she has the right to deny these couples their basic right as an American to...
