Learn to face life sans safety net

College, I think, is a period of transition for freshmen. All the personal problems you had to deal with as a high school senior seem to go away instantaneously the first time you lie down on your new not-too-comfortable Twin XL bed, even if you did buy $70 Egyptian cotton mattress pads with a thread count of 500 at Bed Bath & Beyond. But then again, a few of these past problems seem as if they seamlessly transfer from the category of personal, stupid, teenage and high school problems to personal Life Problems.

Mars Hill: family away from family

If you have taken a walk down Central Avenue in the neighborhood of Buffalo Exchange or the tiny police sub station or Taco Bell, you may have wandered by a giant marquee that says “Mars Hill.” You may have wondered what in God’s name is going on in there.

Chile does not a New Mexican make

I hate green chile. Something about the feisty little plant just doesn’t connect with my taste buds, but more than I hate green chile, I hate the cult of exclusivity that goes along with the fiery diet staple.

Air emboli not a risk of oral sex

Dear Dr. Peg, I heard that oral sex can cause air emboli in women. My pregnant friend told me. As a nursing student, I am interested in how this can occur, and as a woman I am concerned about my chances of having one if I receive oral sex.

BP spill steals cultural heritage from fishermen

During the Daily Lobo’s three-week break, I grabbed a couple cameras and my notebook and headed down to the Gulf Coast to do a multimedia project on the oil spill (as well as a print piece for another Albuquerque publication). Three friends and I drove the 20-plus hours to Grand Isle, La., one of the hardest-hit coastal towns. The town has only one road, and it’s lined with dozens of houses on stilts, which help to protect the island’s 1,500 residents during hurricane season.

Check your credit report; be wary

When trying to prevent your identity from being stolen, it is recommended that you periodically review your credit report for open accounts that you did not authorize or changes to your mailing address that you did not make.
