Commuter Student Discoveries

-

 The gym (Track) has actually been wonderful. 

I start with 5 minutes on the stair stepper (like I used to see my sister do), spend 30 or so minutes on a bike, and, if I feel like it, go to the weight machines. I have only gone a handful of times, but the Track is part of my personality now. 

I also started parking in the Track parking lots. It gives me the stimulation I need from the new environment because of the tracking I do for a new location, and I can see campus in a different architectural perspective. 

It encourages me to go, and I see a different (or surprisingly similar sometimes) student body at walking to and from Track.

Actually, Scoop Du Jour, the local coffee shop and ice cream parlor, and the public library were the hotspots of the town.  The library featured something for everyone in the community.   Free Internet/Wifi Free Use of Computers Library of Things Pickle Ball Paddles Blender Caretaker Kits Diagnostics Tool Book Club Kits Tumbling Blocks Knitting Set Fishing Poles And More!

Lemon Tea: It's Worth the Initial Inertia

Lemon Tea: It's Worth the Initial Inertia      The brand was Twinings Tea.      The slogan: over 300 years of experience.       The question: could this tea tie my depression over?      An advisor for my little college program passed out study kits for freshmen finals. In it, there were some pencils and pens, maybe a pack of notecards, peppermints, and herbal tea.       Now, I tried being an herbal tea girlie, but little freshman Allison was not in that era.      Flashforward to October 9th, 2025, Allison, a sophomore with no hope left, found one of the old tea packets she had avoided after failing to be a tea drinker.      It tastes sooo good!     I don't know. Something about it - though I don't have ice in my glass tumbler on campus right now - the drink just shines through. The bright lemon flavor isn't too tart, like the Great Value Packets of Lemonade. It d...
