		<title>The Great American Smokeout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favorite songs is The Weepies’ Nobody Knows Me At All.  Sample lyrics:
“Now I got lots of friends,
Yes, but then again,
Nobody knows me at all.
Kids and a wife,
It&#8217;s a beautiful life,
Nobody knows me at all.”
Being misunderstood sucks.
Along those lines, I think one of the most misunderstood things is addiction.  People assume that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Underappreciated and Undervalued</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There were very few times before I came to Ghana where I found myself fervently defending my gender. Here, it feels like a daily activity. In America, gender equality is generally axiomatic. Here, misogyny seems ubiquitous.
I should have known what to expect when I came to a country where marital rape was only recently made [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama as Bad as Bush?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter based on improved governance, a much more serious effort to eradicate corruption, joint efforts to accelerate the training of Afghan security forces so that the Afghan people can provide for their own security.&#8221;
-President Barrack Hussein [...]]]></description>

		<title>Plan a Gratitude Visit</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I met a hero named “Shig” at my dad’s church on Sunday. He was a small, maybe 5’2”, 92 year-old Japanese-American man.  He shook my hand with a firm grip as my dad said, “This is Shig. He was part of the 442nd.” Shig responded to my dad’s words with a modest smile and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Siena&#8217;s Claim to Fame</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most people that visit Siena may find it too low key for their taste. It is definitely not Florence, where there are two story clubs that keep you dancing until 3 am; its for sure not Rome, where you have to dodge cabs as you try and make it to your next destination on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lynch Mob</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Halloween day, I was sitting at an outdoor restaurant on campus with a friend when our conversation was interrupted by a strange commotion. We heard some shouts followed by a small stampede of Ghanaians running out of the nearby dorms, through the restaurant area, and towards the fields behind the building. I would have [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Science of Happiness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like to read obituaries. I like seeing the snapshot of their major life accomplishments, mistakes, and passions and why people loved or hated them. Spending a few minutes examining how they lived, I look for an example of how to live or not live my life today.
I also like finding examples in the living. [...]]]></description>

		<title>An I.V. Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While just 25,000 people celebrated Halloween in I.V. this year, those that descended on DP made the most of it. Check out more photos from UCSB&#8217;s most debaucherous weekend after the cut.

		<title>Italian Food Snobbery</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Going into my seventh week abroad in Italy, I am quickly realizing that I am more and more becoming an “Italian food snob.” This means that when I do eventually get back to the US, I will be the girl that is sitting at Gio’s with my friends who takes a bite of her pizza [...]]]></description>
