Keeping healthy on campus during those chilly months means staying warm and beating the cold at Football games, walking to class, and those dreary, cold rainy days. Staying warm can be tough; you're walking around campus working up a sweat but at the same time you're breathing in cold, dry air.

We learn even at a young age of Elementary school days that working with other people is going to be a part of our lives forever. You may be working with three other children to share the purple play-dough (why was that one always the only sparkly color?) or working with other students on a intensive final project. Whether you're writing up a proposal with your colleagues or creating a presentation and 20 page paper with your classmates, you need to lean to communicate effectively and share … [Read more...]

Here it is, Q- Who would be your top 3 roommates for college if you could pick anyone, even celebrities or product figures? This question for me took a lot of pondering, because there's really just so many amazing celebrities that could double as roommates. After careful consideration, my top three nominees are: 1) Martha Stewart: Why? Because she can cook, craft, sew, bend, glue, create, materialize or fix anything!

Halloween when I was little was like my favorite Disney movies all in one place. There were Little Mermaids and Belles as far as the eye could see, with the boys dressed as ninjas or Power Rangers.
