The American workforce has seen its great share of highs and lows in the last decade. With the economy being extremely volatile, manically increasing and drastically decreasing rather quickly — a change to the federal minimum wage has gone silent.
To many incoming students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, concerns include moving away from home, enrolling in classes and discovering career paths. However, recent trends in Madison have made student housing a significantly more stressful ordeal.
Towards the end of the 2011 film “Moneyball,” Jonah Hill’s character — the nerdy economist who helped the Oakland Athletics build a dominant team with minimal funding only to lose in the playoffs — flips on the tape of a minor league catcher to show his dejected boss. Brad Pitt’s character, A’s General Manager Billy Beane, sits in the darkened film room and watches the big man hit a home run without even knowing it.
I grew up in the United Arab Emirates, a country where citizens make up only 11% of the population. I am part of the remaining 89%. We are called “expatriates.” The word originates from Latin “expatriat,” which means “leave one’s own country.” A very straightforward descriptor for non-citizens in my view.
Tuesday, Sept. 6 should have been a great day to be a Badger. All students should have been able to leave their homes with backpacks strapped, fresh notebooks ready and computers charged to learn from a university they were proud to be admitted to. Instead, the 2022-23 academic year started off on a rather negative note, especially for over 13% of the student population.
Early in my freshman year I was in a friend's dorm when a boy walked in, invited himself to sit down and began playing “The Times They Are A-Changin.’” He strummed the guitar with no discernible rhythm and sang off-key in a contrived 1960s twang.
Madison, like other cities or towns home to a large public university, welcomed students to the campus and surrounding metropolitan area. Young adults have poured in from Wisconsin, the surrounding states and countries across the globe.
With out-of-state tuition prices rising 8% each year, the average college student who chooses to attend an out of state university graduates with over $30,000 in loan debt. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an out-of-state student will pay upwards of $216,000 for a four year undergraduate degree. Even with this hefty price tag, there are few career areas that offer a quick return on investment.
The fact that the drinking age is 21 years old in the United States has always bothered me. The reasoning for this arbitrary number of birthdays has never made logical sense, as many underage University of Wisconsin-Madison students, Wisconsin residents and other college students indulge early in their non-sober lives.
If State Street is the heart of the University of Wisconsin-Madison area, University Avenue is the vagus nerve, vital to life on campus. Classic campus spots lie streetside, or in the immediate vicinity. Bars, restaurants, you name it. In many ways, University Avenue is a happy place.
To say that the college transition is a sharp adjustment is an understatement. Whether you move to a four-year university close to home or across the country, the years that follow high school introduce unfamiliar and arduous new challenges for students to navigate.
I am frustrated and embarrassed. Why can’t we pass common sense gun legislation like a real democracy? Most Americans recognize that their children’s safety is under attack without strict gun control. Yet, our governments have failed to deliver.
The landmark Roe v. Wade ruling of 1973 enshrined an individual’s choice to get an abortion, championing freedom at both the federal and state level. In 2022, the nation sits on the edge of a precipice, with the Supreme Court inches from desecrating the foundations of liberty this nation prides itself on.
In most Asian households, the idea of living a risk-free life is much-touted. After all, who desires a life of hardship that taking risks can result in? No one. These discussions often center around material possessions like money or land. Get a job that pays well and then buy land or property. This is likely why the American Dream has such great appeal.
The midterm elections are quickly approaching, and it will be imperative for Wisconsin Republicans to defeat Governor Tony Evers. If Republicans can take control of the governor's office, they will be able to pass crucial school choice legislation, tax reform and further invest in public safety.
The successful unionization effort at an Amazon warehouse in Staten Island, NY is a historic and unique moment in labor history that should be a catalyst for increased worker rights and progressive reform across the country.
70,000 incarcerations, 34,000 undocumented tortures, 3,275 extrajudicial killings and 77 disappearances of political dissidents. This is the legacy of the Marcos regime that ruled over the Philippines with the iron shackles of martial law and unprecedented executive power. Despite his 14-year reign being marked by corruption, the marginalization of civil liberties and economic stagnation, this dictator’s son — Bongbong Marcos Jr. — is projected to capture the Philippine Presidency in the 2022 election cycle..
At 16 years old in a crooked Starbucks hat, a coffee-stained apron and a name tag that read “Hi, my name is Erin,” I stood behind the counter as a woman double my age animatedly expressed her outrage. Verbalizing animosity at me for the uncontrollable: caffeine in a light roast cup of coffee. Immediately, I wondered how had I gotten here. Why was I taking the brunt of this woman's anger? As a high school student working a minimum wage job to pay for the occasional gallon of gas — what had I done to deserve this stranger's anger over a caffeinated beverage?
