Student-friendly hubs outoftiiiswortd!

It is no secret that young people make up a
fraction of Brevard’s population. Everywhere
there seems to be businesses and prices that are
marketed towards the local wealthy retirees.
This makes it hard for students to find desirable
products to buy from local businesses or eat at
local restaurants. Here are five local businesses
for students to shop at:
1. Next Venture
Brevard has opportunities for outdoor
recreation in abundance, however the equipment
to engage in said recreation can be incredibly
expensive. Enter Next Venture, a store dedicated
to taking second-hand gear and making it
affordable. Whether it is a water bottle, a puffer
jacket, or hiking boots, you can go to Next
Venture and get it for a fraction of the cost you
might see at a large corporate store. For those of
you majoring in WLEE, it would do you good to
pay a visit. You can find them at 168 N Broad St.

2. Sunrise Cafe
While I am sure we all appreciate the hard
work of those in the Myers Dining Hall, it is nice
to have some variety in both meal composition
and locale. For those of you who enjoy good
breakfast food and sandwiches, do yourself a
favor and stop by Sunrise Cafe. They offer a
wide variety of breakfast foods, as well as a
few lunch specific items that are all made very
affordable. They get bonus points for making

squeezed into a pair of climbing shoes, Brevard

Tips for fighting
the flu this year
It’s that time of year when the temperatures
are dropping and the common illnesses that
accompany this season are beginning to
spread. School nurse Pat Clackler offered
some great tips to stay healthy as we push
through the final weeks of this semester.
One of the most important things to do is
to stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water as it
will keep your energy up and help stave off
any illness.
Washing your hands is essential for every
day of the year but make sure you wash your
hands more often to rid them of any germs
you could have made contact with.
If you haven’t gotten your flu shot yet,
now would be a good time to get it before
it’s too late. These shots are offered at local
pharmacies.
If anyone is affected by illness in the
coming weeks, the campus nurse is well
prepared. In her office you can find cough
drops, hand sanitizers, masks and tissues for
use in preventing or recovering from illness
Nurse Pat Clackler is available in her office
on Tuesdays 8 a.m.-4 p.m. and Thursdays 8
a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Let’s finish this semester on a high and
healthy note!
