Ask Tiffany: Living and Learning with Anxiety


By
 in , ,
I let my anxiety get the best of me this fall semester and chose to defer until spring. My anxiety (which takes the form of nausea) feels like it’s taking over my life; when I was at school, I tried to attend classes, and found 10 minutes into class I couldn’t handle it and left. I’m not […]

High-Tech Travel

This past year, I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to travel with friends all around the world.

Like most overwhelmed, exhausted college students, I am hooked on coffee. I have come to love coffee’s unique aroma and crisp, bold flavor. Honestly speaking, at this point, coffee is basically the sole reason I pull myself out of bed for 8 a.m. classes. I start my days with a grande dark roast from Starbucks […]

My friend and I trekked all the way Downtown to Whole Foods to go grocery shopping Saturday. As we aimlessly wandered from the grains aisle to the condiments aisle, contemplating how to save the most money on gourmet jams, I realized we had absolutely no idea what we were doing. “Do you think I should […]
