The C.W. Post Men’s and Women’s Cross Country team were back in action this past Saturday as both teams competed in the St. Josephs College Invitational in Kings Park, NY.
On both sides the Cross Country squad put on exceptional performances in the race that had a mix of Division I, II, and III teams. Both the men’s and women’s squad took home trophies from Saturday’s race.
We have all heard that line from Mean Girls: “Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.” While the first part might be true the second most likely is not. If a girl does dress like that, most people would have something to say about it, perhaps both positive and negative. So is it really a bad thing that girls dress this way?
Well freshmen, throughout the last week or so many of you have probably been smacked in the face with the reality that midterms are here; which means your first semester as a freshman is almost over. Pat yourselves on the back– you’ve made it. Experience is the greatest teacher, or so they say, and now that you have some of that under your belt here is some advice for surviving what is left of your freshman year.

Change can be a frightening thing. Whether it is good or bad change, it is extremely hard to alter our normal behavior. It is especially quite challenging when it comes to making changes in our everyday eating and working out regimes. Many of us feel as though it’s impossible–– “it’s too hard, it doesn’t work, there’s not enough time, I JUST CAN’T DO IT!” The excuses are endless. Although it may sound cliche, anything is possible, but like stated in the previous issue, nothing works over night. Everything takes time. Slow change is change that is more realistic and surprisingly gratifying. Rushing to loose ten pounds in two weeks creates unrealistic goals and irritating failures. It is all about changing your lifestyle in incremental and realistic steps that become embedded in your everyday life on a daily basis.
“Well my boyfriend and I, when we do have the opportunity to have sex, pick at least three new positions to try,” Michelle, a senior at C.W. Post, said. She was part of a group of friends seated in Hillwood during common hour who, in addition to eating, were all looking at a relatively new iPhone application that illustrates different sexual positions. It’s called ‘kalm sutra’ and is a hit with college students.
Greek life has had a long withstanding reputation of being just a bunch of people getting together to party. Movies like Old School and Animal House portray perfect examples of the stereotype society has on Greek life.

Dear readers,
So what’s next on the agenda? We’ve all gone through the endless nights of studying, wanting to pour the coffee over our heads, hoping it would somehow give us even more energy to stay up and finish cramming for those midterms. Then we rejoiced the end of midterms by enjoying the spooky festivities of Halloween this past weekend.
