NJC Change

-Go Green, students on campus do not use paper anymore. Change from paper to Ipads.
Making this change on campus saves many trees and it also guarantees the students to turn their work in on time. Us as students will no longer be able to use excuses why we do not have our assignment. Only by the click of a button will the assignment be turned in.

How is cooking theraputic?
 http://www.recreationtherapy.com/tx/txcook.htm

Do your emotions give into bad eating habits?
Yes. When your emotional state is out of the average your more than likely to turn to food to help you. When your either feeling sad, angry or any other type of negative emotion you turn to food to comfort you because you know it wont reject you. Even with special occasions or birthdays or simply just parties their is always going to be some sort of food around.
