“Don’t Count the Miles, Count the I Love You’s”

Keeping a relationship in college is hard work. Not saying a relationship at any age or time of life is easy, but in college, it definitely seems to be harder. Hear me out. In college, you need to be honest with your significant other, communicate with them, be trusting of them and find time to spend with them on a regular basis. Sounds like a relationship at any age, right?

Risky Business: When Drinking Goes Too Far

Parties are one of the most famous college stereotypes – movies like ’21 and Over’, ‘Animal House’, and ‘Old School’ have left an image in our minds of drunken students, getting into all sorts of trouble. However, it’s this sort of trouble that, while sometimes portrayed as humorous on-screen, may end badly in real life. Deaths from drunk driving are all too common, as is alcohol poisoning.

The Generation of #BeastMode

I recently read a statistic saying that within the next 10 years or so, 85 percent of the United States will be overweight. I’m leaving out the fact that I read this while eating a large bowl of pasta. I questioned this a little, because in the next 10 years my generation will be in their 30s and because our generation is obsessed with going to the gym. It’s not just our generation either. Even when I go to the school gym, there are professors and other adults running on the treadmills.
