As students, many of us are lacking time and money, two things most people think they need to get a good work out. Wintertime, particularly around the holidays, is perhaps the toughest time of year to get any sort of exercise.

Between finals and all the other things that take up our lives, it is hard to feel like setting aside time to get to the gym.

However, as a fitness instructor once told me, the point at which people are so busy and stressed that they give up on working out, that is exactly the time when our bodies need exercise the most. Physical and mental well-being are aided when we get the right amount of exercise, eat right, and get enough rest.

“The King Stag” by Carlo Gozzi, directed by Carol Cooley, is a comedy that utilizes puppets, masks and actors to tell the story of King Deramo and his struggle with love, trust, and the abuse of power. From Nov. 29 through Dec. 4, the play was performed in the Performing Arts Center.

SCSU men’s hockey team continued their undefeated streak on home ice this past Friday evening with a 6-6 tie against Bemidji State University at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn.

Just five minutes into the first period, Bemidji States Aaron McLeod scored to give the Beavers a 1-0 lead. Taylor Johnson of the Huskies got his first shot on net with a slap shot from the blue line which was taken away by BSU’s goaltender.

Four SCSU swimming records were broken over the weekend when the men and women’s swim team traveled to the University of Minnesota Aquatics Center for the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Invitational.

The Huskies were able to win 15 out of the 34 events over the course of the two-day competition.

Alex Bryson, Bob Simson, Napoleon Howell, and the men’s medley relay team set new records for SCSU.

Bryson, a freshman from Appleton, Wisc., won the men’s 1650 with a new record time of 15:39.95.

Both weekend games for the men’s basketball team helped the Huskies add to their undefeated record so far this season. On Friday night the Huskies dominated the University of Mary, then went on to beat out Northern State University on Saturday. With six total wins this season, the Huskies are 2-0 in the conference.

Friday’s Game

The SCSU men’s basketball team cruised to a 78-55 victory over the University of Mary in their NSIC opener Friday night at Halenbeck Hall. The Huskies, paced by junior Theo Rothstein’s 21 points, moved to 5-0 overall.

Whether it’s joining a health club, dieting, or even quitting a bad habit, a New Year’s resolution is a good guideline for improving daily life and health.  Sticking with a resolution is difficult, but so rewarding in the long run. There are many ways that you can realize your New Year’s resolution.

One more week and we will be out of school, and this marks my last entry for the Chronicle. From a beginning writer to the dominion over the opinion desk, my life is turned around by the opportunities offered to me at the Chronicle. Allow me to hereby thank the paper for its generosity and professionalism.

Now as an outgoing senior (and since I am not chosen as the class valedictorian), I am urged to write about some tips to make the most out of your college years. Here are some takeaways that I would like to offer to current students and the soon-to-be graduates, most of which you don’t find on Google.
