Why can't my classmates be like my followers?
I have a film class on Thursdays from 5-8 where our professor let’s us eat dinner during class. So while my classmates are eating pizza from BHOP across the street, or burgers and fries, I’ll be eating some of my lentil soup I made earlier this week, with flax rice crackers, and a genius mix of Pom juice, lemon juice and water.

Good Morning Everyone!
It’s the first day of classes here at Northeastern, and I started out the morning by hitting the gym at six with one of my roommates.
