Facebook: UCI College Republicans

This past weekend on Sunday October 30th, Milo Yiannopoulos was invited by the Republicans of UCI club to grace the campus with his presence. In case you aren't familiar with Milo, let me fill you in on the work he does. Milo is a journalist and a public speaker who became famous for preaching against political correctness and all social justice movements, including the most talked about movements such as Black Lives Matter and Feminism. His ideologies upset so many people that he was banned from Twitter this past summer.

Milo Yiannopoulos is popular among conservatives, but not so popular among the students of UC irvine. Due to the protests that broke out on Milo’s last visit to UCI, angry students put together a petition that was just short of about 350 signatures on change.org, seeking to ban Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus again. Despite the petition and some students efforts to tear down posters promoting the event, UC Irvine got it’s second visit from Mr. Yiannopoulos.

The Facebook page that was promoting the event called for attendees to “wear your most culturally appropriating, offensive, triggering Halloween costume to the event for a *fabulous* costume contest!” as well as to “bring as much privilege as you can check”.

I don't know about all of you, but this definitely sounds like this was meant to urge protests for this event. The invitation is surprising, but so are some of the costumes that actually followed the given dress code. Milo's event had no filter when it came to Halloween.

The Geisha

Talk about cultural appropriation.

The Devil/Hillary Clinton

Okay, so I guess I expected this one at a Trump rally.

"STOP BEING POOR"

Wow, why didn't I think of this sooner? Thank you stranger for the life-changing advice.


"Feminism is Cancer"

Feminism, the thing that gave women the right to be actual human beings, equated to cancer, the disease that kills people slowly. This all topped off with the "Make America Great Again" hat. Must I say more?

The Mexican Under Arrest

They posed and everything.

Leslie Jones Cut-out

Honestly, this is just flat out mean. Before this picture Milo was photographed writing "Dude" and drawing the arrow to Leslie Jone's face. To further humiliate a women who was wrongfully chased off of social media is a new low.


Because this gathering did not become nearly as rowdy as the last one, I think we can expect more visits from Milo Yiannopolos in the future, unless some online petitions or promotional sabotage can stop him next time.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
