The Dating Guide The high school dating scene versus the college dating scene MELISSA HOON Detour Editor
The Jungle
High school dating versus college dating is like a zoo versus a jungle – a controlled setting versus a wild freefor-all. In high school, everyone knows everyone, but individuals don’t yet know themselves. Just like the monkeys in cages who know they’re being watched by people at the zoo, high school students know they’re watching each other on display. College is different, mainly because students are dancing to the beat of their own drum, with every man for himself, just like lions in a jungle.
Dress to Impress
High school students have enough trouble choosing an outfit to impress their peers; how can they choose a boyfriend or girlfriend who’s best for them? They seem to choose what others want for them, rather than what they want for themselves. You can’t blame high school students; at 15 years old, how could anyone know what they want out of life, let alone out of a relationship? Most college students, however, have chosen a major to fit their lifelong career path. Since they have an idea about what they want as a career, they’re also more likely to know what they want in a relationship.
Majoring in the Right Relationship
Just like trying out a couple of majors before you figure out what best fits your career goals, high school students need to figure out what they want in a relationship by dating different people. I knew a girl in high school who dated a guy with more interest in drugs than in her, then another guy where a restraining order was instrumental to ending the relationship – all before she met her prince charming in college. Sure, that’s an extreme example, but you get the point.
Don’t Drown
High school students should be careful not to let dipping their feet in the dating pond turn into drowning in a river of promiscuity in college. College students don’t typically find their soul mate by hooking up with beer pong partners party after party. To find a good partner (for a relationship, not a beer pong match), college students can revel in the advantages at their disposal, like meeting people in class or at college events. Then, BOOM! – they’ve already found someone with similar interests. It’s funny how in your philosophy class you’ll find at least a dozen students who think Freud’s theory on the unconscious mind is brilliant, just like you do. Talk about there being lots of fish in the sea.
Learn How to Swim
Yes, then there’s that “fish in the sea” analogy that no high school student I’ve ever known seems to understand. Why is it that high school students hold onto their sweetheart for dear life, refusing the idea that there could ever be anyone else (even when their other half is clearly not for them because they lie and cheat)? Right, because it’s their first love! High school students need to learn the fine line between refreshing and suffocating. College students don’t seem to have a problem understanding that they have choices, since many solve break ups by hitting the nearest bar where they can quickly find another significant other – at least for one night.
Rule the Jungle
High school students should remember that if they’re suffering, yes, there are more fish in the sea – many of whom they might find in college. Hopefully you’ll be old and wise enough in college to know what’s best for you and what you want. As cliché as it might be, what you learn in college – whether it’s from books, internships, peers, partying or professors – can teach you a lot about yourself. A wild, free-for-all compared to a controlled environment might sound intimidating at first, but after you enjoy the freedom of learning what you want for yourself, you can become the king of your jungle – then you might just find the queen of your heart.

Local eateries in or around the CSUF area MICHELLE WIEBACH News Editor
It’s 5 p.m. and your stomach is growling like a lion. You remember you skipped lunch. Your class ended a few minutes ago and you’re trying to decide where to eat and what to eat.

The online guide to professors How to find out which professor fits your style of learning JENNIFER CHUNG Asst. Graphics Editor
Biased grading, suffocatingly strict attendance policies, lectures that lull you to the deepest dream level possible, these are just a few of the many elements most of us hope to avoid when choosing a professor during the exciting process of class registration. One of the greatest things about college is the variety of options available to us. If there are choices, why not go for the most sensible one? Since its launch in 1999, RateMyProfessors.com has proven to be a savior to college students all over the United States, Canada and Great Britain. The site has since accumulated a database of over 6,000 schools, 1 million professors and a whopping 10 million opinions pertaining to them.
RateMyProfessors.com allows students a fairly lax rein when it comes to rating professors, barring obscene language or libelous comments. Students are given the liberty to rate their professors on varying levels of easiness (hard to easy), helpfulness (useless to extremely helpful), clarity (incomprehensible to crystal clear), hotness (a rating some may deem trivial, yet secretly advantageous) and lastly an overall rating composed of an average of the above. Students have differing preferences for which trait they consider the most important. Jennifer Ebunilo, 22, a graphic design senior, stressed the necessity of a thoroughly helpful professor. “If a professor can’t help you when you’re lost, they’re failing to do their job. You’re not learning, and nobody wins.” Students are also able to comment on other aspects of the class the professor teaches, such as the attendance policy, whether a textbook is necessary to do well or the grading structure. An interesting question that RateMyProfessors.com raises is this:
What is the real motive behind actually utilizing this site? Do students search for professors that will actually challenge them and take them on a scholastic adventure in order to milk the course of its true educational benefits? Or are they mainly just looking to take on the role as captain of the S.S. Easy A for a laid-back voyage of smooth sailing? For Chris Le, 21, a psychology senior, it is the former. “I enjoy an instructor who can engage me intellectually, and I feel that RateMyProfessors.com provides too much insight on whether a person would get along with an instructor on a personal level, as opposed to how well they’ll actually learn from them,” he said. Despite the wild assortment of opinions, and as Stephanie Chavez, a business accounting major, 21, pointed out, one thing can be said with confidence: A professor’s teaching style has a huge effect on the academic success of a student. This is where RateMyProfessors.com comes in. Save yourself the headache of finding the “right” professor for you and check the site out.

The cost of caffeine DEYJA CHARLES Asst. Multimedia Editor
School is starting and old habits are returning, at least for Cathy Taing, a business senior. For Taing who lowered her caffeine intake to twice a week during the summer, it’s time to get back into her zone when classes begin. This is common among college students. There are some who depend on it and others who can do without it. But the effects of drinking caffeine and alcohol have not fazed those who indulge in it. News about caffeine and alcohol drinking habits for college students are constantly changing. Some report that caffeine can lower heart attack risks
for women, others say that it’s an addictive illusion that can cause intense body crashes and headaches. Taing, who has been drinking coffee for years, said she has yet to experience withdrawals. “I only drink a lot when I’m studying for finals,” Taing said. “But if I do drink it, I get drinks that are more festive like peppermint white chocolate mocha.” This holiday delight carries an average of 470 calories per grande serving, according to the Starbucks nutritional guide. The worry of calories and healthiness are no concern for Taing, but for graphic design junior, Ruben Santa, health is his priority. “I’m not really a health guru; I just don’t like the idea of being dependent on it,” Santa said.
Santa has never bought into the fad of caffeine and energy drinks. “I don’t think they’re healthy for you,” he said. “You may start off with a good burst of energy, but you’ll end up crashing really hard.” Not only does he not give in to the addictions of caffeine, but alcohol, as well. “I used to drink casually with friends, but they started drinking way too much, so I vowed I would never touch it again,” Santa said. Morality may not be most people’s reasons for cutting back on alcohol, but facts might. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), one ounce of alcohol is equivalent to the calories of a baked potato. This is just with a typical beer. A margarita served in a pint glass contains a minimum of 550 calories. Thats why Katelynn Monday, a sociology senior, limited her glasses of wine to twice a month. “When I turned 21, I had three drinks, but I wanted that part of my lifestyle to be casual. There’s no reason to go crazy,” Monday said. But Monday also believes that she was influenced by her household. “We have moderate drinkers in the family, so drinking only occurred around holidays,” Monday said. To get her caffeine fix, she doesn’t rely on the creamy coffee but rather the exotic teas. “Coffee makes my stomach hurt, and I’m afraid of what energy drinks can do to the body, so I stick with tea,” Monday said. As the saying goes, “beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” and so is health. The more informed you are, the better. So as school begins and Taing ups her caffeine intake, she will remember her reason for doing so: to be able to get through the demands of classes.

CSUF Clubs & Organizations Guide An in-depth look into how to get involved on campus
• • • •
ASI Committees ASI Productions Titan Tusk Force College Inter-Club Councils
MARIO DAVIS, JR. For the Daily Titan
Two of the most commonly heard words at Cal State Fullerton are “Get Involved.” Campus involvement creates opportunities for students to make new friends, network with industry professionals and learn new skills. Students who get involved are able to enhance their collegiate experience by participating in club related competitions, attending university-funded conferences nationwide, and most importantly becoming a student leader amongst their peers. With nearly 300 clubs and organizations offered, finding something of interest is as easy as 1, 2, and 3. CSUF also makes it easy for students to start their own club, all that is needed is five interested students and one adviser to oversee the club.
The Associated Students Inc. is the recognized student government on campus. For students of the CSU, fees are paid in place of “tuition” to keep the cost of attendance affordable for all students. Of those fees, a small portion goes directly to ASI which allows for academic and co-curricular programs and services to be offered throughout the university. Any and all events produced by ASI are open and/or free to all students. ASI serves as the agency body for any recognized student funded club and organization on campus. ASI Leadership Positions: • ASI Executive Positions • ASI Board of Directors • TSU Governing Board
Put your money where your mouth is CSUF’s College of Business and Economics is the largest accredited business school on the West Coast, nationally recognized for accreditation in both its business and accounting programs. Here are a few business related clubs to consider: • Acacia Group • Accounting Society • African American Business Society • American Marketing Association (AMA) • Beta Alpha Phi Business and financial Information • Business Inter-Club Council (BICC) • Delta Sigma Pi Co-ed Business Fraternity • Finance Association • Future Business Leaders of America- Phi Beta Lambda • Math Club • Student Managed Investment Fund Down, set, hut! With a full load of classes, long hours of work and stress, it is essential to make time for fun. CSUF’s Intercollegiate Athletics Department has given students the opportunity to compete against the nation’s finest competitors. You often hear about Titan baseball or basketball, but here
are some other sports and recreation offered for students: • Archery Club • Triathlon Club • Competitive Bowling Team (CBT) • Fencing Club • Ski and Snowboard Team • Equestrian Team • Kung Fu Club • Lacrosse Club • Rugby • Sailing Club • Table Tennis Association • Tennis Club • Titan Hockey • Titan Paintball • Ultimate Frisbee • Volleyball Club • Water Polo Club • Women’s Lacrosse
Peace, love and a bucket of extra crispy! It is often said, you won’t know where you are going until you understand where you came from. Philanthropic involvement within the community has been a legacy at CSUF since its existence. If you are interested in helping out the community members through beach clean ups, fostering children, rebuilding homes, feeding the homeless, etc., then check out some of the volunteer clubs/organizations below. • Camp Titan • Circle K International • College Legal Clinic Committee • Community Engagement Advocates See CLUBS, page 17
