If you are not a morning person, you know that sleep is your best friend. Getting enough sleep is important. Sleep affects almost every aspect of our lives -- both physical and emotional. If you feel sleepy and sluggish, it affects the way we react to things, the way we eat, exercise, work, and talk. Almost everyone I know can say that they have had a bad night of sleep. It could be from a scary movie, too much food before bed, or just going to bed too late. And when I talk to this friend (who has not had enough sleep) I notice how they look. They could have dark circles under their eyes, a puffy...

Latin is like a tree: from it springs its roots, all of which are other languages, across the globe.       For me Latin was a subject that I never imagined myself participating in. At the beginning of the school year, Latin seemed so foreign to me and somewhat intimidating. Although, looking back to earlier this year I had no reason to be fearful.

Not only is this an added responsibility to...

Generation-Z has held onto music for dear life during the past year. As we approach the one-year mark since the start of quarantine, I would like to share some of the best ways to kickstart or step up your game for building your quarantine music library.

Every year, on a random day in January or February that everyone seems to forget, the Lunar New Year arrives. Out of all of the Covid-era holidays we’ve encountered, the 2021 Lunar New Year has been my favorite: a beautiful chance to freshen one’s surroundings, catch up with family members on Zoom, and eat bottomless bowls of Chinese food. When I think of a Lunar New Year, I immediately think of my family taking a trip to our favorite Chinese market in Quincy, MA. I can picture us as we make the usual rounds: the Vietnamese sandwich shop (my favorite), the wonderful bakery wafting with fresh...
