Finals Frenzy

The month of December is filled with lots of two things: fun and finals (which are probably not related).  As you begin to prepare for final exams, make sure to make time for breaks, get some rest, and try to laugh every once in a while!  Thanks to Jasmine Coleman from Auburn University for sending this in to our Foot in Mouth Disease category!

Life Lessons Learned While Growing up on a Farm

While attending elementary, middle, and high school, my classmates always asked, “What is it like to live on a farm?” I never really knew what to say because I have lived on a farm my entire life and never knew what it was like not to live on a farm. Living on a farm was just a part of my life and something that I learned to cherish. I have come to realize these past few years how grateful I am to grow up on a farm because it has instilled in me many valuable lessons and life experiences. These experiences will always be a part of me and have shaped me to become who I am today.
