Wellness at D’Youville: Mind, Body, and Spirit
As I mentioned previously, I am now in my fourth year of college, which means my life is busier than ever!

So this year on the first day of spring, I grabbed a few friends and ventured around campus to see what treasures we could find! Here are my top five favorite sites for treats this year with some very close runner-ups. Keep in mind a few of the places had been vanquished by hungry students before I even had a chance to get to them! Continue reading
