FEATURES

Summer students explore the Hudson Valley

YAKSHA GUMMADAPU, CARIS LEE, LUKE JENKINS | Welcome back, Brewers! The Features section, our newspaper’s home for everything but the kitchen sink, greets you with open arms into our dear Dutchess County. For freshmen or wandering upper- classmen, you missed an exciting summer on campus, a great season of change and novelty. The rather annoying caterpillars from spring have transformed into moths fluttering at dusty windows. There are cher- ry blossoms in the Shakespeare Garden and blistering heat, everywhere.

I said 'What's that red bit on me?' And he replied, real casual, 'That's your period.'"  Well, at least he knows. To give further context, Rohleder revealed she had pulmonary embolism in October 2016, and was put on blood thinning treatment which makes her periods "very, very bad," she explained to the Daily Mail .

The popularity of this supplement has shifted over the years, as have its primary uses. But over the past couple of decades, the hype around fish oil has arguably reached an all-time high. According to National Institutes of Health statistics , in 2012, at least 18.8 million Americans used about $1.3 billion dollars worth of fish oil, making it the third most widely used supplement in the nation.
