One thing I really struggle with during the summer is finding time and motivation to exercise. I call it my ‘curse of summer,’ my absolute refusal to work out in heat and the ever-so-popular excuse ‘I’m too busy’ line. Whether justifiable or not (probably not), my summers tend to turn in to a lot of […]

I recently read an article in the Vegetarian Times August 2013 issue, “The Cafeteria Report” by Juliet Pennington about a New York City public school that implemented an all-vegetarian meal plan for students. The initiative is a step in the right direction. There’s been a lot of buzz lately about healthy diets. Terms like vegetarian, […]

Over the past few weeks I’ve been gathering some information from my mentors. My question to them, “What did you think you were going to be, what are you now, and what was the best thing you did while in college?” The more people I talk to, the more people it seems have started out […]
