Still, I dolefully dwell on the fact that despite the endless slew of to-do lists and timers and alerts, my best efforts to stay organized simply were not enough.

Slowly but Shively: To Go Out, or Not to Go Out?

 This week’s question: “My friends and I like to go out often, but sometimes I know I lack the energy to join them, so I opt to stay in. However, when I see them having fun, I get severe FOMO because I don’t want them to start leaving me out. How do I win in this lose-lose situation?”

Self-advocating is the best advocating: Nafisah Conix

As a Black woman, the transition to a primarily white institution will never be easy, especially coming from places that do not lack diversity of people who look like you. Nafisah Conix is no stranger to this transition, and she has found a graceful way to stay true to who she is, advocate for herself and make her presence known here at Shippensburg University.
