Let’s face it, as college students, money can seem “tight.” College can be a trying time to save and budget money while attending school, full-time or part-time. With limited spending money, non-necessities are either very limited or taken out completely.

Easter is No Yolk
When Easter rolls around, it is a time of great joy and celebration. This holiday is a new beginning for those who participate and practice the holiday, as a season of Lent, fasting, praying and palms giving.

De-Stress a Stressful Semester
Stress is a consistent, tiring reality that everyone deals with in one way or another. Midterms, papers, projects, and tests piling up once the semester is underway can create a lot of tension.

However, there are many ways to combat the negative associations brought on by stress. The University hosts many activities and provides services that can reduce or even help completely rid excessive amounts of stress.
