hair disaster

Freshmen year I came to VSU with long dark/brown hair and by the time I left school my hair was badly damaged. My hair broke off and was very dry. Just like any other student at VSU I blamed it on the water, although this myth could be true we all know it’s not just the water. To prevent breakage and hair disasters, as stated on http://www.hairstylescut.com/advice/damaged-weak-hair.htm, here go some tips for you college students.
1. Regularly cut and trim damaged areas with split ends or poorly maintained layers.
2. Hair coloring products and dyes can make your hair damage and harsh chemical in coloring can damages hair and restrict their growth.
3. Use shampoo suitable for your hair type and remember that hair is more delicate and can easily be damaged when wet.
4. Long hair needs regular conditioning to rejuvenate strands that may be years old.
5. Drink plenty of water for natural moisture to hair.
6. Eat a balanced diet including multivitamins and proteins to encourage hair growth.
7. Massage your hair with hot oil before washing and exercise also helps to stimulate blood flow to the scalp and hair follicles.
Avoid stressful situations that may prompt hair loss

is bpork bad for you?

There are many people who do not eat pork, I being a one of them but is pork really bad for you? I actually was raised not eating pork and that’s why I don’t eat it to this day. My father always bashed pork, saying it was the filthiest animal alive and there was no reason to eat it because it doesn’t provide you with anything healthy. According to hubpages.com, writer arkwriter states that “Pig's bodies contain many toxins, worms and latent diseases. Although some of these infestations are harbored in other animals, modern veterinarians say that pigs are far more predisposed to these illnesses than other animals. This could be because pigs like to scavenge and will eat any kind of food, including dead insects, worms, rotting carcasses, excreta (including their own), garbage, and other pigs.
Pig meat contains excessive quantities of histamine and imidazole compounds, which can lead to itching and inflammation; growth hormone, which promotes inflammation and growth; sulfur-containing mesenchymal mucus, which leads to swelling and deposits of mucus in tendons and cartilage, resulting in arthritis, rheumatism, etc. Sulfur helps cause firm human tendons and ligaments to be replaced by the pig's soft mesenchymal tissues, and degeneration of human cartilage.”

what is the purpose of sleep?

It is now 1:18 AM and I can’t seem to sleep. It’s a known fact that us college student need sleep, according to me that is.

You ever wonder what “sleep” is or why we sleep at all.


According to the world of physiology it helps our body physically recuperate from a day’s worth of activities, labor and work. But what about our minds and emotional health? How does sleep affect those?


Now, a small group of neuroscientists is arguing that at least one vital function of sleep is bound up with learning and memory. A cascade of new findings, in animals and humans, suggest that sleep plays a critical role in flagging and storing important memories, both intellectual and physical, and perhaps in seeing subtle connections that were invisible during waking — a new way to solve a math or Easter egg problem, even an unseen pattern causing stress in a marriage.
The theory is controversial, and some scientists insist that it’s still far from clear whether the sleeping brain can do anything with memories that the waking brain doesn’t also do, in moments of quiet contemplation.

A question to my audience, why do you think we dream?

are we being controlled? lavatory rats 101

Like lavatory rats are we being controlled? trained how to think, how to act, what to buy, what to wear.

Has anyone ever read Robert Greene book, “The 33 strategies of war? Well I’m sure some of you have, it was given to me by my big brother and since then I haven’t been able to put it down. This book gives you 33 tactics to use while fighting a war, weather physically mentally or emotionally.


One tactic that really caught my attention was the unconventional (dirty) warfare, listed as strategy 23. Robert Greene states “since no creature can survive without the ability to see or sense what is going on around it, make it hard for your enemies to know what is going on around them, including what you are doing. Feed their expectations, manufacture a reality to match their desires, and they will fool themselves. Control people’s perceptions and you control them”. Such powerful words, when I read this and applied it to certain situations that I have gone through I knew and felt exactly what he wrote.

“Control people perceptions and you control them”. To my audience while reading this statement do you feel like maybe your being controlled by the perception of life painted throughout the media which is given to you like a daily dose of medicine through your television screen.


I want answers! To my audience how do you feel? Do you think where being fooled and is there a conspiracy lurking within our nation?

how did yoga work for students at VSU

how can yoga work for you?

People of all ages and physical abilities have been practicing yoga for more than 5,000 years for general well-being. Today, an estimated 12 million Americans practice yoga for conditions as varied as addiction, fatigue and weight management. De-stress and Lower Your Health RisksStudies show that yoga, like many forms of physical activity, can actually help relieve stress.

Emotional stress from daily life often contributes to physical stresses like muscle tension and constricted breathing. Because of its impact on the circulatory system, stress is also linked to cardiovascular disease. By alleviating physical and emotional stress, you may reduce your risk of heart disease and other illnesses.
