Be the difference among criticized millennials

Perspectives April 28, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

As an almost-college-graduate, I am ready to take on the world one degree hotter and one entry-level job at a time. Many people my age enter the workforce with a feeling of entitlement and give all millennials a bad reputation. Some graduates enter the workforce expecting to be handed everything in life while doing the […]

Share love over casting judgement

Perspectives March 31, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

Many of us at California Baptist University were raised with some kind of Christian upbringing. We were taught to love Christ and love others. As we grow older, we learn more about who Christ is and what embodying his love looks like. However, there are also several students on this campus who do not know […]

Take advantage of educational privilege

Perspectives March 10, 2017March 8, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

When I first toured California Baptist University, I was obsessed. The campus was absolutely gorgeous. It resembled a resort and I was thrilled to be a part of such an incredible community. As the first soon-to-be college graduate in my family, I am constantly reminded of the honor it is to attend CBU and have […]

Ethnocentrism and patriotism are different

Perspectives February 23, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

I am as patriotic as they get. I am obsessed with the United States. I have a huge flag above my bed and I try to match my décor to my favorite colors: red, white and blue. I am so thankful for the freedoms this country grants me and the opportunities for a brighter future […]

Stand against the travel ban

Editorial, Perspectives, Perspectives February 9, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order Jan. 27, that shocked the nation. In his few weeks in office, Trump seems a man of his word. While I prayed he would not follow through with some of his proposed immigration policies, it is all quickly unfolding before us. Trump has put policies into place […]

Find validation in Jesus Christ, not individuals

Perspectives January 27, 2017 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

When I am out and about and come across a trendy background, I think, “Yes, this would make for the perfect Instagram post.” I make my friends snap me from every angle until I find the perfect picture; sometimes it’s so good I don’t even need a filter. After coming up with an iconic caption, […]

Friendships are not monogamous

Editorial, Perspectives, Perspectives December 2, 2016December 9, 2016 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

Having friends who make you feel loved and treasured is one of the most incredible feelings ever. Knowing your friends willingly want to be a part of your life despite your flaws is beautiful. Feeling protective over these friends is natural, but not necessarily a good thing. When I say protective, I do not mean […]

Take a break from work and live a little

Editorial, Perspectives, Perspectives November 11, 2016 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

As we get deeper and deeper into the semester, it seems our responsibilities drown us even further. Everyone says it is so incredibly difficult to juggle school, work, sleep and a social life, but at this point in my life, there is no juggling going on. School and work seem to be the only players […]

Rec sports for enjoyment, sportsmanship

Editorial, Perspectives, Perspectives October 25, 2016November 11, 2016 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

The epicenter of school spirit at most college campuses is found at big stadiums filled with thousands of screaming fans cheering on their nationally ranked football team. California Baptist University has several strong and acclaimed athletic teams, and although school spirit is certainly not lost on this campus, we do lack those famous Friday night […]

Yes, I take offense at your racist remark

Editorial, Perspectives, Perspectives October 7, 2016October 7, 2016 Darlene Mercado 0 Comments

My parents were born in El Salvador and moved to the United States in the ’80s, so I was born and raised in Southern California and have experienced both American and Salvadorian cultures evenly. However, some people look at me and make assumptions about my culture often based on the way I may act or […]
