Last semester the Student Government Association (S.G.A.) at Adelphi University welcomed a new president, Samantha Herskowitz, a Senior Nursing major.

Along with her executive board (Brian Stanley, Jenisa Caban, Nicole Zisa, Caley Serin, and Nick Cosmo) Herskowitz has great plans to bring the organization to a new level.

“My main goal for this year is to connect more with clubs and organizations” she told me. “I want them to feel comfortable and realize that we as student government want nothing but the best for their organization.”

Some other S.G.A. initiatives this year include continuing to be the liaison between the student body and administration, improving technology, promoting the services of the IT department, collaborating with other organizations, supporting student athletes and Greek life and resolving academic issues.

One initiative, beginning next semester, is to improve Health and Wellness within the Adelphi community. S.G.A. will have five days of activities like Healthy Meal Monday ($5 will be given to students to spend at the salad bar), Take Care Tuesday (free meditation classes), Workout Wednesdays, Trust Your Instinct Thursday (S.G.A. will post safety tips via social media on issues like sexual assault), and Financial Wellness Friday (A newsletter with financial tips for students).

“Running for S.G.A president has effected me in many ways” she said. "It gave the ability to publicly speak in both small crowds and big crowds, it's given me the opportunity to connect with many faculty and administration, but most importantly it has given me a voice that I am not afraid to use.”

And with Herskowitz as their leader, it is evident that Adelphi’s S.G.A. will have no issues implementing their initiatives on campus this year.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
