MESSAGE 1 Getting on Track for Finals: Health
It looks like “Cullowhee Crud” is on the rampage once again on campus.
Remember, academics and
participating in events are important, but so is your health. Being healthy can mean much more than curing
your cold. It can mean eating right, sleeping right, and relieving stress!
Nutrition
Try making meals in your room instead of eating out. If you have no other
choice but to eat food from campus dinning, try eating at Einstein’s for
breakfast, Grab n’ go Sandwiches and Salads for lunch and McAlister’s for
dinner! If you don’t have any declining balance, be sure to eat a
balanced meal in the dining hall!
Sleep
Trouble sleeping at night? Wake up earlier to go to sleep at a decent time.
Take power naps if needed- NO LONGER THAN 30 minutes! Don’t sit around
all day; get active to release pinned up energy
Stress Management
Exercising is a great way to not only get fit, but to release stress and anxiety. It
also gives you a clear mind and improves learning and memory! Take short
breaks after a few hours of studying.
Schedule a time for fun. Whether it’s going out for a walk or watching a t.v.
show. Give yourself time to relax your mind.
If you’re already down for the count
with a cold, or if you’re starting to
feel like you’re coming down with
something and need a doctor,
schedule an appointment with one
in the Bird Building across from
McKee.
MESSAGE 2 Cubs Corner!
Your Journey – Your Goals!
HEY CUBS!
This year we have some amazing students out making a difference! A
group of caring cubs are on a mission to making a positive impact on
campus! It is their belief that by uplifting one person that person will
in turn uplift someone else, hence the “ripple” effect. By doing good
deeds you could be awarded by one of the members of Ripple On and
also have your story recognized here on Cubs Corner! But remember
it’s not always about recognition; sometimes the smallest things can
make a difference in someone’s day.
So get up, Get out, and Ripple On!
Want to be in an issue of the Message Board?
“CUB’s Corner” IS NOW OPEN! This section is all about YOU!
Show off your creativity! We need new cubs to submit their own works such as an
original poem, video, drawing/ comic strip, short story, almost anything!
There will also be a lucky cub featured in one week’s issue for getting involved on campus.
Whether it’s through volunteer work, club/organization, or an event on campus! Simply
send in a picture or short video and a short description of yourself and what you’re doing
to stay involved on campus! Need advice? Cub’s Corner will also feature an Ask
Mitten’s column!

Explore—Discover—Make Memories
Early Girl Eatery
By: Evan Iezzi
In downtown Asheville on Wall Street is an amazing restaurant
called Early Girl Eatery. They serve southern-style dishes for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. This restaurant uses food from local
farms in western North Carolina for complete freshness of the
cuisines they serve. Every meal is made from scratch with the raw
materials from the local farms, no frozen meals. The majority of
items on the menu are breakfast related. Early Girl is one of the
most popular restaurants for tourists, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to
make reservations. I tried to get a table on a Saturday morning and
waited 45 minutes for a table. What else would you expect from a
restaurant that has been written up in many major newspapers
across the nation? Early Girl was written up in the Wall Street
Journal, New York Times, and Chicago Tribute as one of the top
Figure 1: Entrance to Early Girl Eatery
places to eat in Asheville, NC.
Julie and John Stehling have owned Early Girl Eatery since 2001; the couple
is there every morning from when the doors open at 7:30 am to insure best quality of service. Julie is usually at the front of the
restaurant to greet arriving customers and John is sometimes seen busing tables. The restaurant is very efficient with the couple
being in the operations of the restaurant. Along with traditional omelets and pancakes they also offer a wide variety of vegan and
gluten free meals on the menu. Entrees include tofu scramble, bean burger, and soy milk. I chose to make my own omelet with
bacon, ham, cheddar cheese, and salsa that also came with a side of toast and home-fries. I would like to try the homemade
pumpkin gingerbread next time. The average meal is around ten dollars and many drink options are available as well, including
wine and beer. The food is a bit pricy when you start adding side items but when factoring the quality of food, it is well worth the
cost. It is hard to compare this place to other breakfast style restaurants because the lack of relationship between them. The
authenticity of food, quality of service, and atmosphere are unmatched.
Some of the recipes for the most popular homemade dishes are available on the Early Girl website. The atmosphere is cozy,
comfortable, and social with plenty of natural lighting, from the large windows
that you see when you walk in. You feel as if you just walked into a somewhat
barn-style setting with the wood tables, flooring, seats, and flowerpots hanging
along the windows. Conversations and laughter are heard across all the tables;
people seem happy and energetic which adds to the great atmosphere. The
aroma of breakfast in the morning and the great start of filling healthy foods
certainly leave customers happy. At Early Girl, service and quality are the most
important aspects of the restaurant, and it shows.
In conclusion the Early Girl Eatery is an awesome restaurant to get a great
tasting, healthy meal. Make sure to come hungry because the portions are
relatively large and takeout is offered as well. Early Girl is located on 8 Wall
Street in downtown Asheville and is open on Monday 7:30 am till 3 pm, Tuesday
through Friday 7:30 pm till 9pm, and on the weekends 9 am till 9pm. Early Girl
Eatery is a fantastic restaurant to try out, bring your friends and they will thank
you for the experience.
