The holiday season is a time to celebrate with family and friends, and it is usually a time when favorite family recipes encourage eating binges. As much as we all love the holidays, these all-day-eating-and-drinking holidays often result in overeating and weight gain.
Thanksgiving is quickly approaching, which means it is time for family dinners and gatherings. With the presidential election coming up next year, the topics of conversation at the dinner table can escalate when hot topics, especially politics, are brought up during discussions.

The 5XÉçÇø Library on the Kent Campus will be closed from 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 25, through 9 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2, in observance of Thanksgiving and to allow for maintenance work at the library building. Normal library hours will resume on Saturday morning.
