When I joined the Daily Titan staff in January 2011, I began writing this column more for therapeutic reasons rather than out of the enjoyment of actually getting my work out in print. I had spent five years hoping and wishing on that big bright star that my friend Aaron would finally realize we were [...]

The principle of evolution is not exclusively applied to biology and science — culture and attitudes also adapt and evolve.
