January 29, 2011 • Christopher Jung ('12)/Eastside staff
Since the division of the peninsula, there have been endless cases in which North Korea used violent subversion and sabotage against South Korea despite the armistice in 1953.

Freshman year: a lesson in time management
January 28, 2011 • Kaylin Magosin ('14)/ Eastside Staff
Throughout life, there will be times when you are new at something. Starting high school is one of those times. Staring middle school or a new sports team are all new experiences, too. However, high school is harder. Yes, for middle school you have to face fitting in, deciding where you fit in,... Read more »
Vegetarian Reflection: Danielle Fox (’13)
January 27, 2011 • Danielle Fox ('13)/ Eastside Entertainment Editor
After three weeks I am sick of being a vegetarian. It is great that some people choose this food diet because of their moral values, but honestly at this point I just want to eat mini hotdogs again. Physically I don’t feel that great, but that’s probably because I currently have a cold. Actually,... Read more »
Vegetarian Reflection: Danielle Hu (’11)
January 27, 2011 • Danielle Hu ('11)/ Eastside Art Director
After going vegetarian for 3 weeks, I don’t really feel that different, which is unexpected (it turned out to be easier than I thought). I only felt very tempted when there was delicious-smelling meat sitting in front of me, but if it’s out of sight, it’s out of mind. My dad was skeptical,... Read more »
Vegetarian Reflection: Julie Coben (’11)
January 27, 2011 • Julie Coben ('11)/ Eastside Editor-in-Chief
When I told my family and friends I was going to be a vegetarian for about one month they all responded with disbelief. Typically, my eating habits are never limited. My daily meals always include some sort of meat; so participating in this experiment was most definitely a challenge. During my first... Read more »
Vegetarian Reflection: Gabi Kains (’12)
January 27, 2011 • Gabi Kains ('12)/ Eastside News/Features Editor
Being a vegetarian for three weeks had little impact on my life physically, morally and emotionally. I did not lose any weight, nor did I have to make any drastic lifestyle changes. Because I did not eat any red meat prior to the experiment, I really only had to eliminate chicken and fish from my... Read more »
Vegan Reflection: Jack Braunstein (’13)
January 27, 2011 • By Jack Braunstein ('13)/ Eastside Underground Editor
Three weeks into the vegan experience, my body has adjusted to the lack of dairy. By this I mean that I forget what cheese tastes like. I have realized that for me physically, the jump from vegetarianism to veganism was not such a big one: my main dietary staples were unchanged and I didn’t feel any... Read more »
Vegan Reflection: Avra Bossov (’11)
January 27, 2011 • By Avra Bossov ('11)/ Eastside Editor-in-Chief
The things that I do for Eastside… Last year: an appearance makeover. This year: an appetite makeover. For three weeks, I immersed myself into being a vegan—a task that offered me quite a change in perspective. Although I have been a vegetarian for four-and-a-half years, being vegan, I realized,...

Vegetarian Reflection: Max Cohen (’12)
January 26, 2011 • By Max Cohen ('12)/ Eastside Sports Editor
I’ve never been oblivious to the apparent negative aspects of eating meat. Despite reading Fast Food Nation and reading news briefs about mistreatment of animals in factories, the idea of becoming vegetarian never hit home. However, I guess Eastside gave enough of a reason to try it out. Ultimately,... Read more »
Vegan Reflection: Hannah Feinberg (’12)
January 26, 2011 • Hannah Feinberg ('12)/ Eastside Community Editor
I’ve always toyed with the idea of veganism, but not being of the moral caliber to commit to anything so ethical, I never tried it. When offered the chance to give up animal products for just a month, I jumped on the opportunity. I’ve never been much of a meat-eater, so there was little challenge... Read more »

My experiences as a vegan have been life-changing. After two days of being a vegan, I realized that this is what I wanted to be for the rest of my life.

January 25, 2011 • Rebecca Ohnona ('12)/ Eastside Entertainment Editor
There is no love more sincere in my life than my love for food. As a self-proclaimed foodie, I spend any free time I have watching the Food Network, reading blogs about food and even trying different diets just for the fun of it. Because I, like most people, have regarded a vegan diet as deprivation,... Read more »
Vegan Reflection: Laura Kane (’11)
January 25, 2011 • By Laura Kane ('11)/ Eastside Editor-in-Chief
I’m a girl that could live off of cheeseburgers, fries and milkshakes, a.k.a. a full-hearted omnivore. Thus, staying true to a vegan diet was nothing short of will power. My spur of the moment Friday pizza nights were replaced with pre-planned tofu and rice dishes; my meals out with friends were substituted... Read more »

The first time I listened to Kaputt, I was on an airplane. About three songs in, I realized the person next to me was trying to get my attention. I took out my left earbud. “What are you listening to?” What a generic question. I love answering that question. “Destroyer’s new album.” “Oh... Read more »
