Religion has always been an interesting thing to me. It's one of those subjects that has so many facets, no matter how long you study it, there is always something new to learn. So, when I got the chance to sign up for the Culture: Religion and Identity course my college offers, I jumped at the chance. What better way to spend electives than on courses that you're interested in taking?

The kids on my bus are a cruel, but close, bunch. It’s like we’re all family – we have dibs on you, but if anyone else tries to take you, it’s on.
getting in shape is really hard. especially when there is so much else to do. it just kind of works its way down the list of priorities, until it becomes a life-long procrastination. whenever i realize that i am leaving exercise off the top of my to-do list, i wish i would reconsider. the day goes so much smoother if you eat right and work out. you feel more confident, alert, and refreshed.
