We hope that you were all able to enjoy the Homecoming festivities last week--despite the weather. For those who have not yet heard, the International Club received the award for the best 'walking unit' in the parade! But now that Homecoming is over, we can finally turn our attention to some other things...

The days are getting shorter. the leaves are changing colors and the weather is definitely getting colder. Have the weather reports mentioned the 'S' word yet? Sadly, yes, there is the possibility of snow this weekend but the good news is that even if it does snow, it will not stay for very long. But winter is definitely coming so if you have not already done so, I recommend that you prioritize getting some good winter clothing before it's too late!
To stay healthy this time of year it is important to do the following:
"dress for the weather": if it is cold, wear clothing that is appropriate for cold weather!
get plenty or good quality sleep
drink lots of water
exercise-- there are plenty of exercises that can be done indoors!
