I have had more homework in the past 2 weeks than I have ever had in my entire life. Physics problem sets, studying for math tests, papers to write, books to read. It was absolutely horrible. The only way I was able to deal with all this work was actually to stop working and take [...]

Yet, I was a part of an extremely enriching experience. For almost 7 months, I interned at the Massachusetts Statehouse [...]

I had a really bad stomach ache today that persisted throughout the entire day. I consider myself a pretty knowledgeable person when it comes to my own body. So I figured if I just kept eating the same things I usually eat I’d end up being fine. Wrong. Mistake #1: I have a high fiber [...]
