I’m going to preface this by saying that I appreciate the work that all my professors (adjunct and TAs included) have done to enhance my educational experience. The following are just minor pet peeves against a grand scale of mental and emotional transformation I have gained from receiving an education at one of the best universities in the nation. Professors put in a lot more work than we give them credit for, but sometimes they do things that can drive their students up the whiteboard…

(1) Nature’s Brew: The atmosphere, the people, and of course the food is amazing! As soon as you walk through the doors you are teleported to a cozy nook of a cafe.

If you’re in the mood for something light and fresh I recommend trying the farm fresh green salads where you have options like the Kale Greek Salad or a classy Nicoise.

We all hear the term “self-love” thrown around a lot these days. Most times, it’s a term used to encapsulate nice things you can do for yourself that make you happy. Now, before I move any further with this: yes, it is very important to do things that make you happy. However, I feel as if it runs much deeper than that. Self-love, to me, is also a lot about healing yourself and finding calm.

Ain’t nobody got time for cramps when midterms are underway. As approximately half of you may know, cramps are the worst when they impede on your ability to function. However, there are quick and simple remedies to help you out with that so that Club Leavey is just that much less intolerable of a place.

There’s a lot of different reasons to study abroad but one of the most common, and important, is to learn about a culture different than your own.
