The price of school certainly wasn’t something I was contemplating when I made the decision to go to an out-of-state private school. I believe pre-PA students should be counseled more on the importance of tuition costs. The […]

I started running when I was in middle school. It was originally a way for me to stay in shape until soccer season started in the spring. It didn’t take long until I became addicted to the runner’s high and fell in love with running outdoors. I used it as a way to relieve stress […]
