We have all been there. After two straight hours of a great history lecture you find yourself low on energy  and you have one more class to go. What do you do? Do you wait for another hour? Do you rush to the Empori-YUM and grab a quick Snickers bar?
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 …

The #OCFair Is Here!
I love living  in Southern California! We have one of the best climates and SUMMER isn’t complete with the arrival of the Orange County Fair! Year after year the Orange County Fair gets better and better! This year they have amped their speakers with the theme of “The Beat Goes On” emphasizing their continuing support of the Fair Grounds and a great concert series including top performers such as Train, Adam Lambert, and John Legend.
What I love about going to the fair is that it brings a whole community …

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 …

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 …

If you’ve been anywhere shopping during the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed the signs of another holiday drawing near.
No, not Christmas (although, there are people getting an early start)
It’s Halloween!
For all those CSUF students who love the thrill of being frightened by zombies, ghosts, and serial killers, we know a couple of local places you can check out this season.  Of course, nothing really beats the massive attraction that is Knott’s Scary Farm.  But maybe you want more personal attention from your zombie and desire a place with less …

There’s this Tagalog phrase, “ISANG BAGSAK!” which you’ll hear a lot of the Filipino clubs shout in solidarity.  It means “One Fall”.  We’ve seen the Filipino-American community come together all across America to provide relief for the people affected by Typhoon Ondoy and everything that has followed after.  We’ve seen the whole YouTube community come together to raise money through uStream shows, benefit concerts pop up all over the place, people donate money for each of their Twitter followers, food/clothing drives – you name it, it’s happened over the past …

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 …
