Healthy options for on-campus snacking

Boys and girls, once the same

Penis… Penis…  PENIS!!! All you fellow fans of The Penis Game out there will pick up what I’m throwing down when I say that penises can be pretty funny.

Today is National Banana Bread Day! Are you celebrating? If you say no, because you don’t have a recipe, well, I have the solution!
