Sam Macy '14 4/17/2013	Name: Sam Macy Year: 2014 Originally From: Milton, Vermont Major: Applied Math Relationship Status: Single College Life What are your favorite courses you've taken at UVM? I really liked biomass to biofuels because we got to visit local agricultural businesses every Saturday. There was very little paper work and the majority of the class was spent on field trips If you could chose another major, what would you chose? Forestry. Best study spot on campus? 3rd floor Bailey Howe. If you could recommend any professor to take, who would you chose and why? Kathleen Liang. She loves to teach and is hilarious. Everyone gets an A, but if you talk in class she’ll hit you on the back of the head…hard. Weirdest thing you've encountered at UVM? It was below freezing one day and there was a guy running around in a loincloth blowing a horn yelling something about oil. Favorite thing to do on the weekends? Hunt, Fish, Booze. Fun Facts: Favorite movie? Men of Honor Favorite TV show? Duck Dynasty Cats, dogs, or fish? Dogs. Brittany Spaniels or any other bird dogs.
Maggie Dow '13 4/14/2013	Name: Maggie Dow Year: Senior Originally From: Marshfield, Mass Major: English/Film & Television Studies Relationship Status: Single College Life What are your favorite courses you've taken at UVM? TV Genre and Auteur. It doesn't get much better than old screwball comedies with two screwball professors. Campus Involvement? Alpha Chi Omega. Shout out to my A Chi Os. If you could chose another major, what would you chose? If practicing medicine was as easy as it looks on Grey's Anatomy, I would've been premed. Or Theater, so I could be on Grey's Anatomy. Best study spot on campus? Conference room at the top of Lafayette. It has a gorgeous view of the lake and it is usually empty due to the creepy attic ambiance. If you could recommend any professor to take, who would you chose and why? Gretchen and her Human Relationships/Sexuality class. I've never laughed so hard or paid so much attention. Weirdest thing you've encountered at UVM? To the boy who refuses to wear shoes even in blizzard-esque weather...I applaud you. Favorite thing to do on the weekends? Shredding some bush @ Sugarbush.
Alanna Freedman Mahnke 4/14/2013	We're totally big into people that are following their dreams, one step at a time. We stopped Alanna Freedman Mahnke, a student at UVM that was accepted into London College of Fashion, to ask her a few questions about her exciting journey to come! Readers, take this as a source of motivation to reach your own personal goals. How did you decide London College of Fashion? I had originally been accepted to FIDM but decided that it would probably be a better idea to go to a four-year university and get your standard college education instead. I still really wanted to somehow study fashion and randomly one day googled the best fashion schools in the world and Central Saint Martins came up as number one (it is a college in the University of the Arts London). So I started doing my research and found out that in order to be accepted I had to complete a one-year program through London College of Fashion (another college within the university). So I applied, put together some of my sketches and during winter break I landed in San Diego (where I am from) and my mom and I rushed to LA so I could have my interview. I got accepted and originally planned to go my sophomore year but deferred because I thought it would make sense to go junior year because that is when most students study abroad. It means taking a leave of absence from UVM and somehow attempting to finish a double major in three years but I really want to do it and I know it will be worth it. I hate having regrets and I know I would absolutely regret it if I just continued my education at UVM and never made an attempt to make my dream happen (sorry if that sounds so corny). What are your greatest influences in life and fashion?

The Beauty Closet: Add Some Zest To Your Beauty Routine 3/23/2013	I found this article from Tone It Up, a great fitness and nutrition program, too great to not share. Who would have thought that the things that make our lips pucker and eyes scrunch up actually help us look so much healthier! Want to sustain that awesome morning boost? Sip a little lemon water throughout your day ~ particularly before meals ~ for a host of amazing benefits. Here are the top 3 reasons to add a little squeeze of lemon to your water or tea: 1. Smooth, Glowing Skin! Lemons contain a high dose of antioxidants, Vitamin C and Citric Acid ~ this trio not only boosts your immune system, but also increases collagen production for plump, youthful skin. Vitamin C can also help clear up blemishes, and even help with scarring when applied topically! 2. Helps with Weight Loss! A little lemon water before meals reduces hunger, helps with digestion and also contributes to detoxification by aiding liver function. 3. Gives you Energy & Helps you Concentrate! The scent of lemons has been said to increases alertness and boost your energy! The best way to get your fix? Make a batch of Zesty Spa Water below to enjoy throughout the day, just squeeze half a lemon in a glass of water or add a little citrus love to your raw green and steamed veggies! Zesty Spa Water ~ 1 Liter of Water ~ Juice of 3 Lemons ~ 2 packets of Stevia ~ A handful of Fresh Mint
Ashley Richardson '14 3/23/2013	Name: Ashley Richardson Year: '14 Originally From: Springfield, VT Major: Secondary Education (English) College Life What are your favorite courses you've taken at UVM? I’ve loved all of my education classes that I’ve taken so far, but my favorite class would have to be the Harlem Renaissance class I’m in right now with Emily Bernard. She’s an amazing teacher and everyone should take a class with her! If you could chose another major, what would you chose? I’ve always wanted to be a detective or a lawyer, something to do with crime, but I feel like that line of work could easily get depressing. Best study spot on campus? Waterman Café! If you could recommend any professor to take, who would you chose and why? For English I’d definitely recommend Emily Bernard – she’s hilarious and knows her stuff. All of my professors for education though have been amazing – Lia Cravedi, Holly Busier, Jen Prue, Signe Jensen. Weirdest thing you've encountered at UVM? Although I’ve been here almost three full years I’m still shocked when I see people running around barefoot. It’s freaky and I’m always worried about glass on the sidewalk.

A Little More Love, A Little More Fun: Be A Less-Picky Dater 3/21/2013	In the dating world, there's a big difference between being unlucky with love and being super picky with the people you date. To figure out which one you are, consider if any of the following sounds like you: Your friends wonder if you're ever going to find Mr or Ms Right. You go on first and second dates but never make the leap into a relationship. You get home after a date and think of all the bad things that happened instead of the good. You meet someone and pick out their flaws instead of considering the whole picture. If you just happen to have a little big higher expectations than most, there's no need to worry. Your future does not hold the title,“crazy cat lady,” nor does it entail making your jeans the enemy after a few too many pints of Ben & Jerry's. Just start looking at dating in a new light! Start realizing that everyone has flaws. Start realizing that people have flaws and that its okay. Who wants to be perfect anyways? Flaws are what make people beautiful and interesting. Dropping them in a hot second just because they don't have perfect teeth shouldn't be the deal-breaker. Know the difference between the actual deal-breaker between the flaw. Don't get the deal-breaker and the flaw mixed up. If a guy feels out a few sexist jokes or treats the waiter with disrespect, then maybe it's time to make up a quick excuse to leave. However, if the guy is wearing an ugly sweater, give him props for trying to look nice for you! Focus on the moment overall and not the individual aspects.
