RecycleMania

As UIC”s campus continues its initiative to “Go Green,” it is up to us students to help save our environment. Recycling is one of the most important awareness campaigns that organizations, charities, and even universities everywhere are trying to promote. Not only does recycling cut back on waste, and thus hurtful emissions to the atmosphere, but it also re-uses much of the material that we simply put to waste. Recycling could save us AND our favorite organizations money in the long run, while making sure to keep the planet clean and usable for future generations.

If you are someone who studies “The Humanities,” or anything else within that category, you know that your majors and fields of study are very challenging, and require many years of study in school, as well as real-life training to complete. Knowledge never truly ends with this group, as we are always learning new things, and keeping our minds open to new possibilities. However, often times, the humanities can be hard to describe to people who don’t study them. Have you ever wondered just what they truly are?

For those of you who haven’t heard of St. Baldrick’s, it is a volunteer-based charity that centers on raising money to find a cure for childhood cancer.

It’s safe to say that for most of us at UIC, 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. But planning a trip abroad can be scary, time consuming, and let's not forget--super expensive. Lucky for us, Her Campus has partnered with Contiki, the #1 travel company for young people, offering over 200 guided tours and pre-planned trips in 40+ countries, exclusively for 18-35-year-olds—all for amazingly low prices!...

Now that we’re supposed to be back in the swing of things, keeping up with our health can be especially difficult.
