Whatever you choose there is something near Cal State Fullerton to relieve you from hunger and boost up your energy when it is needed the most!
The Daily Titan came with the Fullerton Guide which shows all the nearby restaurants and quick …

Watching the 2010 Winter Olympics definitely got me interested in the niche sport of Curling. I got hooked on it and wanted to try it out myself. Only problem is that I don’t have the brooms, shoes, or rocks, not to mention a curling sheet.
But guess what! Many other people got the curling bug just like I did and started calling ice rinks about the sport and now we can play it in Orange County!
For the newbies to curling, which I would expect it to be most of us, Anaheim …

After exiting the 91-motorway,  you can find yourself in a quaint little courtyard at the Villa del Sol center where a most unusual shop can be found.  Specializing in goods from the land of the Beatles,  Harry Potter, and James Bond, the British Grocer in Downtown Fullerton stocks it’s shelves full of British sweets and necessities.
Upon entering the shop, you’re greeted by shelves of sweets, tea sets, and the owner of the store, an old British lady whose voice made me smile and think of the memories of when I …

I just returned from a business conference with some of my FBLA students. This year’s keynote speaker, Cary Trivanovich, had a very short and yet very different message compared to all the speakers I’ve heard speak at these conferences in the past, and there couldn’t have been any better time for the students to hear it. Most speakers seem to focus on improving yourself or motivating you to succeed.

The final words of his speech, “It is not about you.”
This post isn’t about the conference or my students, though. Rather, it’s …

It was 7am on Friday, October 30th.
It was super cold (at least for me, it was!) at the soccer fields in Cal State Fullerton, and the ROTC students were already warming up.
I met with Nick Siemsen and his girlfriend, Vanessa, who began putting together their weather balloon project.  Nick set his camera timer and cell phone GPS, and placed all components into a styrofoam box, while Vanessa filled the balloon with helium.  After connecting the balloon to the box, we all got excited for the moment of lift off!  Everything …

I’m sure you’ve read about that group of MIT students who launched a digital camera into near-space just last month for what they called, “Project Icarus.”  Achieving 17.5 miles into the uppermost parts of the stratosphere, they were able to take remarkable photos that quickly swept the web; soon getting recognized on news networks such as CNN, FOX and ABC.
Inspired by the project, Nicholas Siemsen decided to take it upon himself to repeat the experiment.  Nick is a Financial Analyst who works right here in Fullerton at Raytheon; and the …

Time: 6:27 AM .Monday Morning.
Place: Bed.
Current Mood: Sleepy.
All of a sudden the sound of the alarm goes off and it’s time to wake up, but you get that feeling of having the weight of the world upon you. You take 7 min to get all your 5  [or 6] senses aligned and you slowly prepare yourself for today’s challenges. You’re becoming AWAKE, you turn on the television and switch it to your local news [KTLA Morning News for me] and you see the traffic report… oh yes you hear the …
