What many students are unaware of is that with only a few simple changes in one's everyday routine, one can ward off many illnesses.

Celebrity overload

By Christy Ross | October 11, 2007
When it comes to celebrities and the law, I have heard enough. Everyday there seems to be a different celebrity somewhere in the world breaking some different law. I will admit that celebrity gossip takes up about 85 percent of my life and I am addicted to reading all about who is cheating on who, who's in rehab and so on, but as far as the law goes, I'm over it.

1957: Hit Films

By Christy Ross | October 4, 2007
Cabrini College has come a long way since its opening in 1957. The 43 women from the first graduating class probably imagined nothing even close to what Cabrini is now. Fifty years have passed and I'm sure those 43 women still remember exactly how their first day at Cabrini College went, maybe what they wore and probably their favorite movies of the time.

Hard to believe it’s senior year already

By Christy Ross | April 24, 2008
The saying "time sure does fly by," is definitely a huge understatement. I can still remember the first car ride to Cabrini back in Aug 2005. My mom, dad, sisters and I piled into my dad's truck and headed for beautiful Radnor, Pa. Unpacking all of my stuff into my tiny dorm room in Xavier Hall is still fresh in my memory.

When walking down the hallways at Cabrini or sitting in the cafeteria eating, do you ever stop to look at the art work?

Hey, Ma, your thong is hanging out!

By Christy Ross | February 28, 2008
I recently read an article in New York Magazine called "Up with Grups." The article referred to "grups" as 30- or 40-somethings who walk, talk and act like a 21-year-old. As I read the article, I kept thinking to myself about how true it actually was. Think about it, we go to school on the Main Line, how many 30- or 40-year-olds do we see walking around in their Juicy Couture jumpsuits, $200 pair of jeans, with their iPods plugged tightly into their ears? During the day is not the only time they can be seen.
