Classes That Sound Easy, But Are Actually Really Hard
Making your schedule in college takes almost as much effort as writing a ten-page paper or studying for an exam.

A couple of weeks ago, my editor forwarded me a fierce press release and asked me if I wanted to interview Dr. Jennifer Landa.

Web Spy: Health Month
We all know that we college students don't always put as much emphasis on our health as we should. Instead of eating right, getting enough sleep, and exercising, we pig out on junk food, pull all-nighters and get drunk. And while we know we should take care of ourselves better, it's hard to make a change all at once. Health Month helps get you on a path to better health, a little bit at a time.

Body Blog: How Much Soy is Too Much Soy?
Soy is found in just about EVERYTHING these days. So much so that soy consumption in the U.S. has skyrocketed since the early 1990s.

Body Blog: Research Says Skip That Turkey Sandwich
I make spectacularly healthy (or so I thought!) turkey sandwiches for lunch every day. Fresh bread, tomatoes, cheese, lettuce, turkey.... they are beautiful and healthy works of art. I'm constantly thinking of new ways to spice 'em up. Sliced avocado? Swapping out provolone for some swiss? Perhaps a few slices of green apple?
Feed Your…Teeth
I’m sure most of us (myself included) don’t really stop mid-bite to ponder the effects of different foods on our teeth. And while it doesn’t need to be at the forefront of our thoughts, we should still think about them chompers from time to time.
Feed Your…Brain
We’ve all heard of so-called “brain food.” Brain food should be healthy foods that stimulate your thinking, but I mainly use it as an excuse to eat during finals. When I started feeling sluggish after downing a bag of Skittles during my most recent study-a-thon, I decided to put down the bag of Sun Chps and look into what really constitutes “brain food.”
