By

So far, my first semester of college has been a bit crazy. Wait, let me rephrase that: my first semester of college has consisted of ups and downs, but mostly of impulsive decisions.

You won’t find Lavonna Lewis at a Trader Joe’s. It’s not because she is morally opposed to food samples, or that she has problem with their extensive supply of fresh fruits and vegetables. In fact, she would probably prefer if most markets had similarly healthy and accessible options.  But when Trader Joe’s officials basically told […]
