One week without processed sugar

By Anna Wickham | October 20, 2015

Fun fact I learned this week: refined sugar is in just about everything that tastes good. That includes sweets (baked goods, ice cream, candy, fruit juices) but it’s also found in peanut butter, pasta sauce, soups, salad dressings, ketchup, salsa, most processed breads and pastas, and cereals, among countless other food products. After researching for a few days, it became clear like that totally cutting out refined sugars from my diet would be a bigger investment than I had anticipated.

Naps in Maps

By Mary Long | September 21, 2015

My roommate hates interventions. I learned this last spring when I took on the role of mother and demanded she get some more sleep, for her own good.

The power of a phone call

September 21, 2015

The office was silent, save for the sound of clicking keyboards. I felt my coworkers’ presences looming all around me in our tight working space.

Tattoo you

By Kristin Murtha | September 14, 2015

Every morning on my way to class I pass by Acme Tattoo and Piercing on the Corner, and almost every morning, that little voice in the back of my head tells me to go in and get one.

Why we share food

By Kelly Seegers | September 7, 2015

After returning to Grounds and seeing friends for the first time in months, I find myself frequently saying, “Want to get coffee?” or “We should grab lunch!” I’ve enjoyed the coffee dates I’ve had so far — and look forward to more in the future — but I’ve started to wonder why these encounters always involve some sort of food or beverage. What does our need for food in social settings say about our relationships?
