Hi, everyone!!! My name is Hammered Hamlin, and I’m super excited to meet you all! I love reading books, taking long walks on the Lakefill, and telling my friends about my life. One of my absolute favorite things to talk about is — can you keep a secret? — my crush, Smart Dillo. Something about them is special, you know?

While the goofy purple mustaches may get a lot of attention, Movember is an important month dedicated to improving men’s physical and mental health and wellness.
Last year, Health Services gave out a record number of 3838 flu vaccinations. This year, they are again offering vaccinations to students on an appointment basis. A quick trip to 633 Emerson St. can prevent losing days, or even weeks, of school and work.
I think we can all agree on the universal truth that exams are The Worst. The good news is that only one more round of exams stands between you and summer break. You can do this!
