Female Roommate Wanted

Female Roommate Wanted Looking for a female roommate for the year.

It is a condo in Ellicott City and it is right off the 100 exit so getting to school is no problem! It takes approximately 15 minutes to get to school. It is truly an excellent spot with everything you could want nearby (e.g. Trader Joe's, Target).

It is a two bedroom/two full bathroom condo with a kitchen that includes a washer/dryer, dining area, living room and small balcony. You would have your own bed/bath.

If you're interested, message me sada3@umbc.edu for more details!

UMBC has been named a “Best Buy” university for the second consecutive year in the newly published 2016 Fiske Guide to Colleges. UMBC is one of only 20 public universities, and the only Maryland institution, on the 2016 list, which also includes 24 private universities.

Fiske selects “Best Buy” schools based on the quality of their academic offerings and their affordability. By highlighting UMBC, Fiske researchers recognize UMBC as one of the best values in higher education.

In addition to noting UMBC’s “killer chess team that regularly mops the floor with the competition,” this year the Fiske Guide highlights UMBC’s strong academic programs across the social sciences, humanities, arts, and STEM fields. It specifically recognizes the strength of programs in information systems, psychology, biological sciences, computer science, and visual arts. The guide also notes UMBC’s investment in new facilities, including the Performing Arts and Humanities Building.

Fiske commends UMBC’s supportive campus community, mentioning how First-Year Seminars allow students to closely connect with faculty early in their college careers. The publication notes, “UMBC [provides] students with intimate learning communities, solid academics, and ample resources.”

One student quoted in the guide shares, “Students here tend to be on the nerdy end of the spectrum…but we embrace it.” Another reflects, “We’re focusing on doing big things and being influential people.”

The Fiske Guide to Colleges provides college-bound students and their families with an insider’s look at the academic and extracurricular climates at top colleges and universities in the U.S., Canada, and Great Britain. Founder Edward B. Fiske served 17 years as education editor of The New York Times.

The house is located on the Arbutus shuttle route for UMBC, very close to Giant, Mars I-695. The room can be taken by one person or shared (whatever works). Tentative move in date is immediate/flexible/1st of August. The house is shared with four other UMBC students. We are all very easy going. We wouldn't mind parties with a heads up (We have a few once in a while). We would prefer someone who cleans after themselves. Rent is $500 plus shared utilities (split among everyone equally). And a deposit of $500. Pet friendly and open parking available. Pics available on request. Put subject as "roommate", so that it does not go to my spam folder.
Please contact me for further details or queries.

Why do we celebrate it? Dear Students,

Independence Day, also known as the 4th of July, is nearly here! Most people know that fireworks are a big part of this holiday, but do you really know what this day represents for Americans?

On July 4th, 1776 a congress of representatives announced that the original thirteen American colonies were no longer part of the British Empire - the colonies were now thirteen independent sovereign states. The representatives signed a document, which is now famous, called The Declaration of Independence. This document began with one of the most famous sentences in the English language:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

These words have been memorized by millions of American school children across many generations. The three values - Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness - are what Americans celebrate onIndependence Day.

You can actually see the original document on display at the National Archives in the Library of Congress located in Washington, D.C. It is a popular location for tourists who visit D.C. for the city's famous fireworks show. Be sure to check it out!

Speaking of fireworks, you don't have to go all the way to D.C. to see a good show. In fact, Baltimore has its own fantastic fireworks extravaganza!

Here is a description of the celebration:

Celebrate the Fourth of July with live music and celebratory fireworks at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor. Baltimore’s Fourth of July Celebration takes place Saturday, July 4, 2015 from 7pm to 10pm. Live music from the popular contemporary ensemble The United States Navy Band Cruisers begins at 7pm at the Inner Harbor Amphitheater, located at Pratt and Light streets. The fireworks show, choreographed to festive music, begins at 9:30pm. The display is produced by Pyrotecnico. The holiday fireworks can be viewed from several locations in downtown and the surrounding areas, including Federal Hill, Fell’s Point and Harbor East.

Please do your best to experience this unique American holiday! This is one of the best examples of American culture; be sure to take lots of pictures of all the celebrations happening around the city and share them with your friends on social media.

Enjoy!

HOW I LOST 70 POUNDS IN 30 DAYS…

If you’ve seen my photos with that headline, it was because I was robbed.

Seriously. A shady diet company lifted my photos off of my website and stuck them on their own with that unrealistic claim. I DID lose 70 pounds but it was over the course of one year. And I’ve kept it off for 10 years now!

I worked really hard to completely change my lifestyle and I’m extremely proud of that. There was no magic pill or potion involved. No special diet. Not even a crazy workout routine. Honestly, the hardest part for me was accepting and loving myself regardless of how much fat my body was carrying. Once I realized that, the eating less and moving more thing didn’t seem as hard as it once did.

So, how do you know when weight-loss claims and photos are real or part of a scam? If there were a safe, effective, simple, fast solution out there, it would be front-page news. We’d all know about it and the inventor would be the richest person on the planet.

But there isn’t.
