  As collegiettes, we know that our summer months are often spent outside, soaking up the sun’s rays at the pool or relaxing on a towel at the beach. But all of those UV rays can wreak havoc on your skin. Even if you don’t burn easily and usually tan, the sun still slowly damages your skin. The truth is that one bad sunburn can severely increase your risk of skin cancer. Melanoma, a potentially fatal skin cancer, is the most common cancer in young women between the ages of 25 and 29. Much of the damage from the sun in young women occurs in their teens and early twenties. Healthy skin is beautiful skin. Keep your skin radiant this summer by following these tips to stay safe in the sun. READ MORE...

By Colleen Duncan You wake up the morning of your final and immediately start last-minute cramming as many facts and definitions that can fit into your brain. The last thing on your mind is what you're going to eat for breakfast this morning. But it actually should be the first, because the right breakfast could make or break you on test day. Studies show that a balanced breakfast keeps students focused for longer during test taking than quick, sugary breakfasts. What's the best morning meal? A mixture of protein, whole grain carbohydrates, and omega 3 fats. So, before you reach for a handful of lucky charms and grab an energy drink from the fridge, read on for a list of combinations that will keep you at your best!...

The end of the school year has a way of surprising just about all of us. No matter how organized of a person you are, it’s always a little startling to read the email from ResLife reminding you how every single thing in your entire dorm room, from your textbooks to your photo collages to the bins of sweatshirts tucked under your bed, needs to be packed and gone by May. But there’s another thing that needs to be gone once May 10th rolls around, and it’s a little harder to pack in a box than your sweats: All your points. READ MORE

Sober Stress Relief

By Colleen Duncan With final tests, papers, and projects racking up, it's hard to resist a couple of drinks to help you relax. But there are other ways to de-stress that are healthier than opening a bottle or taking a shot. Adding yoga or meditation to your day is a well-known stress buster. In yoga, you are focused on breathing and stretching, rather than any deadlines or papers you may have. Yoga classes are taught in the Rec Center Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 to 6:30. If you're not a yogi, that's okay! Still get yourself to the Fitness Center. There are classes in kickboxing, Zumba, and more. Group classes can be fun and provide you with some socialization if you've been held up in the library for hours....
