Late Night Talking
I’m a college kid, so late night talks and deadlines are part of my life. School’s back in session for me, and I’ve been doing a ton of writing as of late.
Exercise or Hibernation
The cold weather comes every year, and we are faced with the decision to exercise or go into hibernation. The risk of hibernation is associated with eating more, and then when you step on the scale, there are an additional five pounds.
