Halloween is officially over, but we still have “Halloweekened Round Two” to look forward to. Unfortunately for some of us, our costumes feel a little tighter than they did last weekend. All the partying, drinks and candy that come with the holiday make it easy to pack on a few pounds in a frighteningly short amount of time.
Trick or treating is one of the perks of Halloween every student looks forward to. After all, who doesn’t love getting free candy and drinks and enjoying them too? But if you’re worried about the calories this holiday, don’t be. There are several alternatives to some favorite treats and alcoholic beverages so anyone can enjoy the season’s festivities – guilt free.
To celebrate the end of midterms students are closing their books for a holiday that’s irresistible – Halloween, and this year students are wasting little time coming up with not one, but two costumes that will put last year’s to shame.
It’s that time of year again. Time to forget about the midterms you just took and knock back a few drinks before throwing on the costume that has been sitting in your suitcase for the past month. It’s Halloween season, and the best part about this year is that everyone gets to celebrate it over the course of two weekends.
Last week, cookbook authors Nancy Hachisu and Naomi Duguid visited Northeastern’s Xhibition Kitchen for a cooking demo and a book signing. Hachisu’s book, “Japanese Farm Food,” and Duguid’s book, “Burma: Rivers of Flavor,” both contain many interesting recipes for delicious Asian cuisine.
All Northeastern students have had that moment when their stomachs are growling, their bank accounts are empty and the mashed potatoes and mysterious fish in Stetson East aren’t going to cut it.
It’s safe to say that once I left campus this summer and was taken away from my typical college routine of working out at Marino on weekday nights, I gained a few. Perhaps it was all the old people crowding the ellipticals at my hometown gym or the plates of hummus and pita I was force-fed when I went on my Dialogue to the Middle East – nonetheless, I was on a mission to get back in shape when I returned this semester.
This past Tuesday, in the shadow of Northeastern’s daunting Marino Center fitness classes, a group of dedicated health buffs gathered at the Speare Hall wiffle ball field for an intense and unique workout.
