Think about your social media accounts- think about all of the posts, pictures, and statuses that you have shared over the years. Think about what you have retweeted and which emojis you have used. Ask yourself: are your social media accounts complete and accurate depictions of you as an individual? For many, the answer would

YOU’VE BEEN BITTEN BY A DOG… NOW WHAT?
Is there anything better than coming home to your pet? Whether you are a dog, cat, lizard, hamster, snake, or guinea pig person, we can all agree that there is nothing quite like the love of an animal. On occasion, our animals act like- well, animals. When our pets feel sick, stressed, afraid, or anxious,
HOLIDAY DRINKING & DRIVING
The holiday season is now officially upon us. To the festive among us, December often affects several aspects of daily life: the stores you shop in, the music you listen to, the movies you watch, and the clothes that you wear.

SNOWY DAY SLIPS AND FALLS
Last week, snow fell on State College for the first time the season. Those first snowflakes hold promises of snow days, sledding, snowball fights, and building snowmen. Snowfall marks the beginning of the winter, and the holiday season; however, it also marks the beginning of a season of dangerous indoor and outdoor walkway conditions. Slip
LONGER NIGHTS MEAN RISKIER COMMUTES
Yesterday marked the end of Daylight Savings Time. Though we gained an extra hour of sleep (and an extra hour of our weekend), most of us now commute to and from work in the dark. As we trade in shorter days for longer nights, certain driving risks become more prevalent. Driving in the dark is
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: THE FOURTH AMENDMENT
Quite frankly, it can be hard to understand your constitutionally protected rights. Stipulations and exceptions have been established by decades of court precedent. Doctrines and “tests” have been adopted which can be extremely difficult to digest. Some literature on the subject published on the internet is misleading, adding to the confusion. We implore you- no
DUI TALK: MARIJUANA SFSTS
Blood testing for alcohol intoxication is a widely agreed upon practice; most everyone can affirm that a person’s BAC is indicative of the amount of alcohol that person consumed, and its effect on the brain.
