You Did Look That Young. Here’s How
In thinking a few days ago, I happened to randomly stumble across a thought; An idea to explain the phenomenon of how every time we look at a new group of students or a new age group they seem to look so much younger than we ourselves remember we looked.

Transformational Experience
The scariest part of living is passing through phases and changes of growing older. The child grows in a young adult, learning their bodies, developing their ideas, and trying to determine who they are. The caterpillar becomes the butterfly but what happens to the butterfly when its wings grow weak and the colors fade that once made that butterfly special and unique? Does the butterfly wither and slowly die or does the butterfly change and become something more beautiful? As time passes what happens when the butterfly decides that it no longer wishes to be a butterfly or was never really a butterfly?

The Importance of Self
There is nothing more important than ones self; it is something that is constant need of love, care, and attention; and something that most people tend to neglect at times because they don’t understand how important it really is. We get so busy with life that we forget that our body, mind, and soul are in constant need of upkeep and attention, because if we forget about our own needs, we stop existing. Life is very important but if we forget that we need take care of ourselves, then nothing really matters because we won’t have a life in the coming future. The importance one's self carries is greater than anything in the world that could be going on; its like the saying goes, you can’t love others until you learn to love yourself, this is true.

Times are changing. No longer must we count our points in a food journal or handwrite a weekly meal plan derived from the latest fad diet book. Long gone are the days where we must pay hundreds of dollars to have a personal trainer motivate and guide us and in most cases piss us off.

Massage: Helpful or Detrimental?
Everybody likes a good massage from time to time. Even just having your shoulders and neck rubbed feels amazing. Massage has been preformed by many different cultures, over many lifetimes. It is something that is ingrained within society as the place where you go to relax. And what isn't relaxing about it? Soothing music, candles, wonderful smells, and hands that seem to know where all your tension is. While that all feels great, and does decompress the musculature and fascia, are there consequences to what happens on the table?

My Definition of Loneliness
Loneliness. As a society, we have accepted loneliness to be a bad thing, but that isn’t always the case. In my almost 22 years of life, I have experienced loneliness on more than one occasion. In those moments that I have felt truly alone, I grew. In the terms loneliness, we tend to think that it means that you are completely alone. I think that people don’t realize that often when someone is feeling lonely they have others around them. Loneliness is not defined by one definition out of a dictionary. It is defined by each person who experiences it. It is defined by the way that each person experiences it. This is my definition of loneliness.

I Want to Live!
“Make sure I wake up.” That was the last thing I said when I was laying on the operating table getting ready for surgery. The anesthesiologist was about to put the mask on my face and put me to sleep, and all I could think about was ensuring I would be alive come the end of the day. I was terrified of the surgery, but I was even more terrified of what my life would be if I didn’t get it.
