No Gym, No Problem

No Gym, No Problem

Opinion, , ,
BY: Hannah Long Since the COVID-19 outbreak, people’s lives have changed drastically. Before this pandemic, life seemed to be running smoothly. The classes were all in person, masks were not a thing and gyms were open to all. The Auburn University of Montgomery Wellness Center is a beautiful building that sits right off the road for everyone in Montgomery to see. Students, faculty and those with memberships all share this building, working out right beside one another. COVID-19 has changed the way this facility runs and has brought some frustration to frequent goers. Previously, you could visit the Wellness Center…

Keeping Up Your Diet Through the Holidays

Opinion,
BY: Caitlin Gallagher The holidays. If you’re like me, you start thinking about turkeys and hams and all the fixings around August. In my humble opinion, the holidays are the best part of the year. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the cherry on top of the green and red cornucopia: New Years. Sometimes, though, we tend to compromise our diets and healthy living for the two-month celebration.

Brain Food

Brain Food

Opinion, ,
BY: Caitlin Gallagher There are only two months left in the semester. That means two months to buckle down and get those big projects done and exams studied for. I know as well as anybody that it can be taxing to sit down and study or do homework. There’s always something else that we’d rather be doing, or we might get distracted by the T.V. or our phones.  Did you know that there are certain foods that we can consume to help boost our brain functions? Our brains are made up mostly of fats, so it makes sense to consume…

Binge Watching and You

Binge Watching and You

Opinion, , ,
BY: Caitlin Gallagher Netflix, naps and snacks—this used to be a perfect Sunday. I would start a new series as quickly as I finished the first. I could not watch an episode fast enough. If you are like me, binge-watching can quickly become  an everyday occurrence. What if I told you that binge-watching negatively affects your health? Your mental and physical health could be suffering. Northwestern Medicine compiled a list of negative effects of binge-watching that include: a “drug-like high”, isolation, insomnia, anxiety and depression, back pain, weight gain and risk of heart disease. Some of these may seem really…
