How many student organizations at SDSU have their own blog? I don’t know of any. ZERO. That is extremely depressing. I am probably in the 90th percentile of tech savvyness at SDSU, and I don’t know of a single student group that has their own blog. Blogs are the basics, [...]

This project includes many pieces: [...]

This semester, I am engaged in an independent study course that will study my own journey through the leadership of the Students’ Association. I will post weekly on topics that arise throughout the semester, hoping to discuss the highs and lows and improve because of it.
Feel free to contribute to the discussion, [...]
Slogging through the wet mess of Finals week Thursday is a chore.
