Breakfast is usually the one meal of the day that nobody wants to bother spending time to prepare. And yet it’s the most important meal of the day. Why? Because your body has gone through 7-8 hours without any source of nutrition or energy, so you need that meal when you wake up to turn into energy for the morning. Otherwise, you can count on falling asleep during German 150.
At this very moment on Post-it notes across campus, people are making to-do lists, from chores like vacuuming, taking out the trash and reminders to finally catch up on reading for class. On my desk is a list reminding me to do laundry, buy coffee creamer and study for multiple upcoming exams.
It can be overwhelming to see all of the tasks you must complete on a neon green note, so how would you feel about a to-do list with 101 things on it?

By the age of ten, I ran away with the Boxcar children, fought alien species with the Animorphs, traveled through a wardrobe to Narnia and attended Hogwarts with Harry, Ron and Hermione. I was an orphan, a superhero, an adventurer and a witch.
It may be 80 degrees outside, but fall has officially arrived. While the heat may prevent us from comfortably taking advantage of all of fall’s trends, elements from the runways can be translated into real life.
Greetings from Lyon, France, where I have been homeless for the last month. Well, kind of.
The EAP Full Immersion Program in Lyon, France warned participants of two things: classes are taught in French and housing is not provided. Yours truly interpreted this as, “Elysabeth, you’re going to become fluent in French and you’re going to have a lovely flat in Lyon, France for four beautiful months.”
Caitlin Sanders, a fourth year Criminology and Political Science double major, can finally breathe again.
This past weekend, she took the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) after eight weeks of three to four hours of studying a day, getting used to phrasing her everyday conversation in terms of “what can you confer” or “the conclusion is valid if...”, and ingraining her favorite drink order into the minds of the Starbucks staff off Michaelson and Jamboree.
I’m going to start by saying that for the past three months, my family has been in official “wedding mode.” My uncle is getting married and everyone in the family is rushing to make sure the big day goes smoothly.
