Your Time
by Maxx Hassell
In today’s fast paced world, many of us have little tolerance for anything slower than instant. From the delivery of information to losing a quick 10 pounds, if it takes longer than the time we have set aside for it, it will usually translate into a task unfinished. With such a frantic pace of living, a lot of times, we forget the one thing we need to do in order to have and...
Balancing It All! part one
by Dr. Esther Ngumbi
Sometimes it’s crazy, sometimes it’s easy but at the end of the day when it needs to get done, it gets done. Welcome to my world of juggling. I have to juggle my life as a scientist, a hunger activist, and a girlfriend. I am also heavily engaged in several initiatives including WISE Partnerships in Kenya, Young Thinker’s Kenya, ReEnvision Your Future, Vision 2015,...

How I Balance It All!
Guest Blogger: Jordan Hattar
Esther Ngumbi kindly asked If I would write a blog article for ReEnvision Your Future, discussing “how I balance it all”. Lately I have been researching Mohandas Gandhi and how he lived each day of his life. I believe our greatest natural resource in this world is the ability to learn from past and present humans. I am a 19-year-old college student in southern...
Culture Shock
by Olivia Wong
“Culture shock, I believe, is what they call it. Although you are having this incredible experience, you aren’t allowed to leave your body and enjoy it as a person disconnected from the pressures of everyday life and adjustment. You can be surrounded by a sea of people and feel lonely and isolated in your own understanding, confusion of expectation, or simply by the...
Not All that Wander are Lost
by Cailey Bronny
We are all busy. Busy making a living, busy making a difference, and busy trying to survive. What set some apart in this endless rat race are those who can take a breather and attempt at some semblance of a balanced lifestyle. I am fortunate- I happen to love my job and welcome the daily maddening grind of a workday marked with crazy deadlines, harried people, and the...

Managing Your Time (From The Dartmouth Skills...
Many students discover the need to develop or hone their time management skills when they arrive at college.

These pages provide you with tips for managing your time well so...
My 1st Week in the 30 Day Healthy Living...
by Myeashea Alexander
Well, challenge is definitely the word to describe this week! Not only did I challenge my diet, but I took on the added bonus of regular exercise. This was a difficult feat because a back injury last year means that I have to be very careful with the types of workouts I choose. However, I cleared it with my physical therapists and found out what would work best for me. I...
A JACK OF TREAD AND A MASTER OF ALL : HOW TO HACK ...
by Scevar Swaro
Part 1
Yes that is what my friends call me. A Jack of all treads. Simply because they believe I know or have whatever they are looking for.
So last week a friend of mine approached me asking for a nice cheap new phone. I told her I know someone who is selling a Black Berry at half price, but she said she would rather buy a laptop rather than a Black Berry. I offered her a laptop...
A 'Day in the Life' with Myeashea
I feel like I spend most my life tired. Here’s a day in the life of me about a year ago:
My day would begin between 4-5 am. I would leave for work by 7am and work at the office from 8-4pm. Two days a week, I’d attend class from 5:30- 9:30 and come home to study.
Other days, I would work part time from 6-10pm.
Around October of last year, due to a number of factors, my back was...
