You have depression, chronic anxiety, pain, or you snore heavily or stop breathing at intervals during the night. The results of last spring's survey of RCTC students indicate that most students are making healthy choices when it comes to alcohol and drug use. The results of this RCTC survey are similar to the results of recent national surveys of college students. These survey results show that, contrary to what many may believe, most college students do make healthy choices when it comes to using drugs and alcohol. October 15-21 is National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week.
Viruses cause colds.
These viruses are spread by human contact - not the weather. During the winter, people tend to be indoors more. When these contaminated hands touch others, or other objects - including desks, computer keyboards, telephones, etc., the virus is spread. Simply touching one of these contaminated objects and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth can infect you with the virus. If you have a cold, washing your hands removes the virus that may be transferred by wiping your nose or covering your mouth.
