B’SD Chapter 19 The Perfect Time Never Comes An unguarded and uncontrolled ambition is as devastating as inactivity itself. Motion without planning is futile – we need to know where we are going and how to get there. We must not live our lives like the person who shoots an arrow aimlessly at the side of a barn and then circles any spot where the arrow hits. Such a person gives little thoughts to his projected target, he looks for ways to calm his soul that he has hit success. Many individuals…

We 've all heard the reviews on the benefits of drinking coffee. Perhaps you are well deserving of the "Coffee guzzler of the year" award. But, what does all of this mean? What is coffee benefiting exactly other than our personal gratification? Is it fine and dandy to keep on consuming our ample amounts per day or do we need to practice that word moderation? Like the rest of the coffee addicts in America, I consume my fair share per day. Not nearly as much lately but I would be lying if I said…

Why do children need to play? Free play vs. Structure work in early childhood settings. Many individuals (educators included) would say, play is not important for children, that playing teaches children nothing. Many individuals argue that teachers use free time as a free ticket to not teach children. Often, parent’s ague by asking “why do my children need to come to school just to play, why aren’t teachers teaching my child?’ In this debate, we will dig a little deeper to see what play is for…

morning in late October of 2010, I timidly put on my uniform, followed by my warm up sweats, and tied the laces of my running sneakers for the last time of the year. All of my hard work paved the way for that day: my final race. The time had come. Jitters dashed through my veins as my team approached the starting line. Every girl displayed a look of determination on her face. Every girl intended to leave it all on the course. Bang! The sound of a stampede followed the pop of the starting…

emotion of my own. One that I could not even share with my best friend. When I expressed my fears and anxiety about leaving New York, no one seemed to really listen to what I was saying. They kept saying things would be fine, that it was just the jitters and I would be alright. But in my mind I felt isolated. I wanted them to sit and feel what I was at that very moment. But they wanted to pacify me, console me as though I were a…

Social Anxiety What is socially anxiety? How do people get it? How is it different than other anxieties? Living with social anxiety can be hard, I would know. I have it. I’ve known that I’ve had social anxiety ever since I was 10, that would’ve been fifth grade for me. There are a lot of different causes of social anxiety, but for me it was bullying. It took over my life, I became afraid to do anything in front of other people because I was afraid they would call me “stupid” or “ugly” or say…

Treatment According to the position statement on LPR by the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, treatment for LPR should be more aggressive and of longer duration than treatment for GERD (Koufman, Aviv, Casiano, & Shaw, 2002, as cited in Rees, 2008). This is due to the extensive amount of time necessary to repair the mucosal damage caused by LPR, which usually requires between two and six months with pharmacologic treatment. When determining a course of treatment for your…

the caffeine found in a cup of black tea, and as little as 1/10 the amount found in the average cup of coffee. This makes it the perfect pick-me-up! You want a small jolt of alertness, energy, and mental focus? Grab a cup of matcha and forget about jitters, heart palpitations, anxiety, and coffee breath. Of course, if consumed in unreasonably large doses, matcha can also cause the classic caffeine-related side effects. This combined effect of energy, focus, and calming is why monks were the…

On Saturday, December 3rd, I attended the matinee showing of “A Christmas Story”. The Chippewa Valley Theater Guild preformed the play at the Grand Theater in Eau Claire. The original story was written by Jean Sheperd, however this production was adapted by Philip Grecian and directed by Jake Lindgren. The play is set in the 1940’s in Indiana. This play could be considered to be a comedy, however most would view it as a drama with moments of comedic relief. The major theme in this play is all…
