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.

Every woman is concerned about breast cancer, I know it is a huge fear of mine.  Cancer does not run in my family, but that does not mean I am immune to it.  I am sure most of you have heard about antiperspirants being linked to cancer. It makes sense to me since I can tell the difference in my armpits when I use an antiperspirant, as opposed to deodorant (in emergencies only). My underarms break out and I develop ingrown hairs. Gross, I know! More »
