Hello there
 
Good morning, Owls. Rise and shine, Owls. Please get out of bed, Owls. Seriously, it’s almost time for class and we’ve literally been waiting 27 days to see you back on campus and running around looking for your classrooms in confusion. Plus, we’ve scheduled fireworks tonight for your first day back. JK, we couldn’t swing that. But it’s okay, ’cause baby, you’re a firework.

While you were home sipping hot cocoa and sleeping til noon and hanging out with your ferret, Temple was busy eating its feelings and binge-watching Black Mirror.

What break?

And try some herbal remedies when you catch a cold from being out on said frozen water. Here are eight ways to hop into the new year. ’Tis the season.
