The Ithacan

Accuracy • Independence • Integrity

However, an underrated concern most of us do not realize we harbor is whether or not our peers will be kind.

We are getting to the later part of the year where people everywhere are starting to get sick. The change in temperatures, allergies and being around so many people all of the time can all affect you. Here are some ways you can get over it all:

As the days slipped by, I soon found myself fantasizing about returning home less and less.

I apologize for the small hiatus I took from writing, midterms were rough ya’ll and I really needed the break to recharge.

Through the weekly challenges, I’ve found that it is easier to stay away from the foods I say ‘no’ to the week after the challenge. You and your body get used to not seeing french-fries on your plate, or root beer in your cups as much as before.

Not only did the students they help me with my injuries, but they’re really great people to talk to in general. If you have any sort of injury that you think needs assistance, I highly suggest checking out the clinic.

Though I tried very hard to carry over the schedule I had at home to school, I slowly began to resent my personality and my previous lifestyle.

The dining halls are filled with ice cream, pies, cookies and cakes everyday. If they’re all ready for me to pick up and eat them, how am I supposed to say no? Well this week, that’s all I am allowing myself to say.

Here, the best way we, as young women, can stay healthy on campus is to keep ourselves educated.

There are kids at every college who question their purpose for being there, who question if they are truly ready to transition into a new life.

I think the theme of this week is going to be healthy relationships.

Living here also means that we are lucky enough to have constant and clean connections to water. So, let’s utilize it! This week, I challenge myself and everyone to drink water as their only beverage.
