Stress. It's that pressing sense of urgency that is telling me to write this op?ed, move onto my paper for Health Care in America and then try to grab some dinner before that 9 p.m. meeting. It's the reason that the muscles in my back are tense, the reason that I only slept for five hours last night and the reason that I've been living in the library for the past two days. As college students, we all suffer from it and we all complain (often excessively) about it. But, in reality, we have it easy.

Exactly two weeks and 25 minutes from the moment I am banging out this last column — Dec. 20, 6 p.m., for those of you who aren't reading over my shoulder — I'll be passing in my last final paper and packing up for a relaxing winter break of family, friends and skiing. I am quite literally giddy with anticipation for the opportunity to put my brain on power−save mode and render physiological processes such as breathing, eating and maintaining homeostasis the most cognitively demanding tasks that I need to tackle for a month. Hallelujah, mazeltov and happy f−−−ing New Year to that.
The Tufts chapter of Active Minds, inspired by the well−knownPostSecret project, is collecting personalized postcards that anonymously reveal students' secrets in an effort to destigmatize mental health issues.
Starz's original programming has gained a new series, "Boss." The show stars Emmy−winner Kelsey Grammer, who plays Tom Kane, Chicago's corrupt mayor secretly dealing with his declining health. While the series has many strengths and Grammer handles the role admirably, "Boss" falters by prizing melodramatic storytelling over strong characterization.
Just six years ago, Tufts scientists set out to achieve a lofty goal: creating a needleless vaccine that would not need to be refrigerated. After numerous trials and tribulations, the team, partially funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, has achieved just that.
In the wake of last fall's prominent lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) suicides, University President Lawrence Bacow sent an email to the Tufts community urging them to proudly support all of its LGBT members and to "model the behavior we would hope to see in the rest of the world, and that is of a community that is supportive and welcoming to all."
Fashion Week is not the only time of year when size zeros are put in the limelight. On and off college campuses, eating disorders and mental health issues have increased as being thin has been established as the ideal and being fat as the ultimate taboo.
A groundbreaking ceremony yesterday afternoon for the new Steve Tisch Sports and Fitness Center brought together students, faculty and alumni to kick off construction of the new complex.
As the 2010-11 regular season heads into its final week, numerous debates rage across the league: Is Derrick Rose really the MVP over Dwight Howard or LeBron James? Tom Thibodeau, Gregg Popovich or George Karl for Coach of the Year? Does any part of Shaq's body remain healthy? But while these theoretical and statistical queries occupy our minds, there is still a week's worth of games to be played and there are also playoff implications aplenty.
It's easy enough to shake off a mild concussion if you're a serious athlete; for football players in the National Football League (NFL), getting knocked around is practically part of the job description. But unbeknownst to professional, collegiate and even high school players at the time of injury, these athletes may be incurring long−term neurological damage.
In case you missed the first article, this is a series about how to have great sex. It's meant to be interactive, so if you have any sex questions of your own, send me an anonymous email to tufts.housemate@gmail.com, and I'll try to answer it in a future column. Last time, the discussion was all about communication and feeling relaxed. This time, I'll provide some thoughts about cunnilingus. A quick note — oral can transmit STIs just like unprotected sex. Talk to your partner, and get a free dental dam from health services if you'd prefer.
