Em.'s In & Outs

Tonight I had a really nice conversation with my housemate Joanna, which I love lots lots lots. We were talking about being young adults and making choices, experimenting, and so on, and we were wondering about contradictions in what we choose to do our not, and trying to find ways to evaluate what's best or not, while acknowledging that the typical ''pattern'' of a ''successful'' life (i.e. big house, big car, 2 kids, dog, suburb) was not it. I was expressing how sometimes I get angry at the very ''science'' that try to tell us what's healthy or not.

Incidently, later tonight I was rereading some class notes from International Health and bumped into some very cool facts that I though I should share :) For you Jo :)
