Living the Dream While Paying the Cost

A Student's Simple Guide to Health
First thing's first, are you drinking enough water? Since our body is made of 70 percent of water, it's super important to stay hydrated. Water helps the brain to manufacture neurotransmitters (those little pathways in your brain that help you learn things) and it flushes the body of all the junk food that we eat when studying.

I remember waking up every morning, looking out into the sky and staring in wonderment as my view was eclipsed with a picturesque view of Windsor Castle in the skyline. I remember my auntie taking me on a boat ride on the Thames river and when it was all over she’d tell me about the Tower Bridge in London and I proclaimed I would climb it one day.
