It’s safe to say that for most of us at Bryn Mawr, studying abroad is part of our college plan. But even with a study abroad plan in the works (or behind you), when Spring begins to peak through the clouds, the travel itch starts, and dreaming about an epic Euro-trip or an Australian adventure becomes a daily distraction when struggling through our oh-so-boring lectures.

In the summer of 2007 I had just turned fifteen years old and was starting to notice that my periods had not yet become regular. Irregular periods had been an issue for me since I started menstruating, but my primary care doctor told me that it would sort itself out.

After watching last week’s Glee’s Valentine’s Day episode, the truth is that every girl secretly loves the idea of having a boy like Artie, Puck, or Blain who can sing to them on this special day.
