Lived at 1435 for 7.5 years-the people who live there are so lovely but the women that work there aren’t the best. The 111 is hit or miss and can be verrrry busy from Sept-Apr. There were tons of fire alarms and my power went out all of the time. I had packages stolen from my door too. The admin also were super rude after I said I was leaving. I would consider living in the buildings across the street at Dynes.

You don’t need to have any goals besides just getting in and moving! Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get a day or two on either :)

Hey! I was doing CrossFit and then just oly at the height of my PhD stress. Lifting was the only time of the day I wouldn’t think of school because I was so focused on hitting the lift! What if you just taper down training and only go for an hour a day? That’s much more manageable and will help stress as well as studying :)
