Work out while giving back with local races
Try mentioning the word ‘run,’ and most people are sent running, though not for the treadmills. Over time, people have misconstrued running as a sport designed solely for those blessed with superior lung functions and shiny, strong calves. But such assumptions shouldn’t be an excuse for avoiding participation in one of the most exciting community […]

Romance does exist in rap music tracks
When it comes to Valentine’s Day songs, hip-hop is probably the last genre lovebirds look to for romantic music. For years, hip-hop has been branded as a male-dominated, chauvinistic music style.

But for busy college students, planning […]
Chocolate options for every sweetheart
Valentine’s Day is as good of an excuse as any to dive into the candy jar. If you’re about to hop on the blood sugar rollercoaster, roll past those saccharine Peeps and Sweethearts and go for the good stuff — chocolate. From sweet and creamy to rich and silky, chocolate has as many textures and […]
Fake candy hearts found at USC year round
Despite being married to an attractive older woman, Ashton Kutcher recently voiced a surprising opinion. “I hate Valentine’s Day,” he said. I couldn’t agree more. The rose bouquets, candlelight dinners and inevitable movie dates to see Dear John. Barf. But while a romantic trip to The Lab (or the 2-9) might be just enough to […]
