I believe safety is a good thing and lying is wrong.

With that said, an employee work­ing at Ferris’ Student Recreation Center told my work out part­ner that he or any­one else is not allowed to use weight lift­ing chalk in the weight room because it is a safety haz­ard. Those were her exact words.

Wherever I look, there it is.

Every other com­mer­cial, I see it. Every few entrees on a menu, I read about it. Almost every cook­ing show I watch, I hear about it. (more…)

In the ultra com­pet­i­tive, fast-paced world that we cur­rently live in, peo­ple are always try­ing to one-up their peers.

After the first week of classes the vast major­ity of stu­dents have learned that there was (and still is) the pos­si­bil­ity of the Ferris State teach­ers going on strike.
