From 2008-2010, my junior and senior years at UC Davis, I wrote a column for the campus newspaper, The California Aggie, an observation of campus life and my experiences as a student.
I actually wrote a lot more columns than this, but 2008 is a millennia ago in Internet years so some things have since been buried in the Internet.
