When many of us enter college, we are faced with a completely new environment; big lecture halls, intelligent professors, 12 page papers, and on-campus pubs. Yes, that’s right, pubs. A few years ago, back when I was in college, I heard that our new student center was getting a pub built in and didn’t know what to think about it. It was hard enough for me to concentrate in class without having anything tempting to impair my functionality!

Once it was up and running, many of my friends and classmates made it a part of their schedule to meet in the pub before or after class. There were times that I did join them, but I never did partake in the drinking. I have nothing against grabbing a drink after a long day at work or a glass of champagne while out to dinner with my guy, but a beer before a midterm? No, thanks.

As I brush my hair after I shower, I notice that a lot of it ends up on my brush. This has been happening for quite some time but I’ve never really thought too much of it. I come from a family with full heads of hair so going bald isn’t something I fear. However, I do fear the day that I see a gray hair. My mom has been dying her hair since she was very young, and while her brothers and sisters have lush mounds of hair, they’re all salt and peppered!
