A GLIMPSE INTO THE LIVES OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE ON CAMPUS

BY ISRAA EDDEB

“When I think about my favorite part of a school day, I would

have to talk about my morning workouts. It is a perfect way

for me to jump-start my day in order to focus in class for the

rest of the day. The instant positive vibes and happiness I

gain after completing a 6 a.m. workout is unbeatable. ”
