Nothing starts your day like breakfast.
I always consider the first meal of the day to be breakfast, whether it’s at 6:30 am or 1:15 in the afternoon (students require lots of sleep). On a day by day basis I usually eat cereal with a banana cut up on top [...]

You’ve done it too. I know you have. I just rushed in to grab a few quick things, and now I’m standing in line at the grocery store—and there is an attractive young lady in front of me. Then I did it. I judged what she was buying. Don’t look innocent; if [...]
