We’ll talk about what colleges are looking for, what kids should be looking for, finances, different types of schools, and more.  #1 - What are colleges looking for in applications, and how can parents support their FS kids through the process?

Eat Well


Your mental health is greatly impacted by what you eat, especially for men.

Let's move!


This timer has 4 groups of exercises, each one with 5 moves.  You'll do it once through (40 seconds per move) and then again 20 each move, but back to back.  Ready?  Start your music!



Spiritual Health


There's a difference between feeling tired and feeling empty. One probably needs sleep. The other may need purpose. 


Are you low on rest or low on meaning?



Mental & Emotional Health


A broken heart is not just an expression.  How do you heal from the pain you’ll feel?

Be your best, friends
