Throughout the year, current Mustang Daily staff is constantly reminded of past staff. Whether it’s telling someone to check an article written by a former reporter or hearing from a potential source that “in the past the Mustang Daily has done (fill in the blank), so I don’t want to be quoted,” we’re constantly reminded […]

Avenue to better dining on campus
Before I start, I’d just like to say Campus Dining has provided many meals for me in my four years at Cal Poly. On-campus food is a savior when I wake up late for an early class, plan on being on-campus all day and, consequently, don’t have time to make any food of my own. […]

CP wine fest ends sour
My taste in wine is nothing to brag about. As long as the bottle is somewhere between Trader Joe’s infamous two-buck chuck and $10, I think it’s delicious. One day, if my paycheck permits it, I might bump my price range up. But until then, I’m content with my bottom-shelf bottles. That being said, when […]

Sad event shakes Cal Poly, MD staff
To kick off spring break, my Facebook newsfeed and Instagram were both filled with fun updates and photos of friends going to Mexico, Paris or even the Bahamas. The Friday leading into my spring break, however, was not joyous. It was the kind of day you walk around with a pit in your stomach that […]

Registration haunts dead week thoughts
It’s dead week, and I’m still holding a grievance about registration week. It’s probably because I went around bragging about only having two more classes left at Cal Poly, only to go to my adviser and find out I had all these elective credits to fill. How could I be so careless when calculating my […]

Why not 'reply to all'
After a long day of school, I was sitting in my living room with two of my roommates finishing up some work, when one of them asked if my other roommate and I had Gmail accounts. That set us off into a conversation about just how amazing Gmail and other Google programs are. Seriously, they […]

Mustang piggies take on Halloween deals
I’ve said this before, but to prove my point, I’ll say it again — the Mustang Daily staff spends a lot of time together. Whether it be in the newsroom, at The Ave or just exchanging emails and texts on a daily basis, we are in constant communication. I don’t even talk to some of […]

Viva Orlando
Paper last week was good, right? I hope the staff and I have been keeping you up-to-date on current happenings around SLO, and the greater U.S. That being said, keep an eye out this week because there is some more good stuff about to hit the stands. In the meantime, the editor-in-chief (EIC) and I […]

Newsworthy newsroom, week 5
This past week was full of what myself and the rest of the Mustang Daily staff would consider very newsworthy times. Not only did the paper already have a busy week with two special editions, which are editions of the paper that have a common theme throughout, but Cal Poly managed to do some pretty […]
