We’d love to hear what you have to say. By Annika Olives // Lifestyle Co-editor I’ve only been around for less than half of that. For the 22 years that I have been alive, there have been such dramatic changes in society, politics, the climate, etc. And right now, we are in an unprecedented time of change. With all of the constant shifts in the world around us, the question pops up, how do we sustain positive actions that can carry into a better future? Well I’m gonna say something that I’m sure you’ve heard a million times from countless high school history teachers: The answer is in our past. The world was a different place 50 years ago. Take it from someone who has heard adults and old people say that over and over again. I personally can’t fathom what life was like back then, but I know that things are probably better today. I know things are far from perfect now, but over time, people maintained a desire to change the world for the better, and we get to enjoy the result. Now as we enter adulthood, it will be our turn to pick up from where others left off.

The desire for such a life encourages people to get involved and do what they can to reach that future. When one entity fails to do its part, everyone else is willing to pick up the slack. The UC San Diego campus has changed dramatically since it opened its doors in 1960, and The UCSD Guardian has been there for most of that history, cataloging the lives and experiences of the students. So many new things are planned in the upcoming years, from a new college to a trolley to reaching zero emissions. There will definitely be events worth cataloging and it’ll be amazing to see where the history of the campus and the path to sustainability goes from here.
