September, for most, marks the beginning of deadlines, oral presentations, heavy tests, and hours of studying. During these heavy loaded times, remember to always take time aside for…
“Have you ever read a John Green novel, finished the novel, and then wandered around in a confused stupor for a week while questioning your entire existence and every decision you’ve ever made?” I certainly have!

It’s just a little over a month into the new year – how are your I’m-going-to-be-healthy-in-2013 plans holding up? As unfortunate as it is, it’s extremely easy to slouch at home and convinced oneself that food is the true love of one’s life. The treadmill or stairs will be, well, what treadmill and what stairs?…
