Back

give back to those who aren’t as lucky. Countless people talk about how giving back is important and while that is true, I have constructed a different way of accomplishing the heartwarming feeling. One night about a year ago, my dad walked into my room with some news that has helped me flourish into who I am today. He came to me with a proposition to invest a little time each day to help struggling moms in pain feel relief. My father started a business about seventeen years ago…

Your back and spine is basically the foundation of your body. It is responsible for holding the lower and upper portions together, so it is subjected to a great deal of tension and stress from just holding everything together. So, when you add various lifestyle habits, such as sitting improperly, lack of sleep, injuries and improper bending and lifting; the result can be serious back pain. The good news is, along with visiting your chiropractor in Columbus, NE, there are a few easy things you…

Being raised in a strict four person family, I have always been told what to do, what not to do, and to not stray from the right path. “Focus on your future, Bethany,” my mom would always tell me, and so I did. Focusing constantly on grades and schoolwork, I dared myself to make time for a social life, and instead, I became quiet and shy. I remained shy to the public for years until one traumatic day during my seventh grade year. This particular experience single handedly changed my future by…

to let go of trends such as fishnet tights and jeans with no back pockets (because the inconvenience is just too much!), these are the trends of the last 3 decades that deserve a comeback as well as the icons to inspire old school looks, because if you’re going to throwback, you have to do it right! Here are your 2016 fashion trends that are inspired by sexy old school…

out to the trail, do the hike, and get back, all before it became too hot. There was an accident on the road and I had to go about twenty minutes out of my way in order to reach the highway. After forty minutes on the road I reached the trail I wanted to hike only to find out it had been closed. It was about five in the morning at this point and I decided to go to a different trail about a half hour away so I would be able to still hike before heading back home. I wish I had…

Since no humans are around, not only has Mother Nature started to take back the cities, highways, and villages, but also Animals have slowly migrated closer to the towns. Anyway, this Gorilla must have gotten either lost or escaped somewhere, because as I rounded a corner in the city centre of Rio, this massive silverback…

My goal this semester was to focus on using the correct muscles, such as the abdominals and the glutes, to execute movements and hold positions. In the past, I would overuse my psoas, causing inflammation in my hips and pain in my lower back. While I still do not have complete control of my core and may not always use the correct muscles, I think that I have gotten stronger in the correct areas. I now only experience this sort of pain off and on, and it usually is not as severe as it has…

Leaf Day There are those teachers who just “get” you. There are more who don’t, but it’s the ones who do that can make all the difference (or so I used to think). My child-hating first-grade teacher Ms. Gordon didn’t “get” me. So when I forget all about Leaf Day it’s dreadful. And trying to finish the assignment by skipping class only increases my negligence. However, When Ms. Gordon shows a little leniency and decides not to fail me it has a lasting impact on me and significantly changes my…

people go to college to get a degree to help their chances of getting a good career. In the article “Why the decline in college attendance is good news,” the author, Max Ehrenfreund explains how less people are going to school and back to work, the author claims that going back to college isn’t necessarily your best or only option anymore to get a job. Contrary to the authors claim going to college is probably still your best bet at getting a good stable job, and going straight to work is more…

If you’re squeamish, turn back. This isn’t a good place for you to be. If not, well, it’s possible that I’m going to change that. So listen up and listen quickly. It’ll be over before you know it. I used to love popping zits. There were days where all I could do was stand in front of my bathroom mirror and pop what pimples dared to show on my skin. The problem was, as far as my face goes, I have almost none there. But when it came to my body, there were quite a few problem areas I could attack.…
