BY ADELLE LaBRECQUE Staff Writer, UAS Whalesong As I sit here quietly – almost bitterly – completely, utterly sleep deprived and eyes nearly shut, I take great comfort in the familiar scent of a lightly roasted breakfast blend brewing in the coffee pot. Indeed, as many overtired and overworked coffee lovers can relate, this seemingly…
BY ALEXA CHERRY For the UAS Whalesong I think it is safe to suggest that you as a reader are aware that “bedtime” is not necessarily a thing that happens among college students. At least, not in the way where it is the same every night, and it’s certainly not something pressed upon you by…
BY CALLIE CONERTON For the UAS Whalesong Hello fellow students! Hope midterms didn’t wipe you out! We have been actively trying to reach out to the student population and we have started Monday Morning Coffee with Student Government. We would love for you to come our office and tell us what is on your mind,…

This Golden Mean is not necessarily an objective thing. Just like the college student with coffee, two cups is just enough for some, but too little for others, and yet still too much for people who aren’t used to coffee.
