The last week of classes are looming upon us and before you know it we get a taste of sweet freedom (aka Holiday break). But before we can take that breath of fresh air, we have to endure the stress and anxiety…
Roaming the world with free and safe internet
Hi readers! It's Monday. I'd like to ignore all the nasty stuff that I'm going to have to deal with this week. I feel like a chained escape artist with four walls closing in who just found out the key…
Swimming: A great aqua-tunity to relax and get fit
I'm not a fan of being cold or wet and I absolutely dread trying to squeeze into my hideously unattractive one-piece (which, by the way, squeezes at all the wrong places). Other than taking a dip to cool off while…
