Before the start of spring break, Dave headed out to talk to Mountaineers who always seem to know what’s up, what’s in and what’s out! Listen as they discuss what they’re bringing with them into the second half of the semester and what’s getting left behind. We are talking about energies, habits and yes, you guessed it… water bottles!
Dave
Hey, Kyla!
Kyla
Hello.
Dave
How's it going?
Kyla
Pretty good!
Dave
That’s good. It's a beautiful day, right?

Dave
Yes, all right.
Jocelyn
They've been out. It's time to wear shorts again. And those are still they're still not. Okay. And what's in for me is probably I mean, honestly, just like tank tops, like it's time for my body to get some more sun.
Dave
It feels really good today.
Jocelyn
Yeah, it really does.
Anne Carol Sheely
I'm Anne Carol Sheely. What's out is social media TikTok even though I'm still on it. And then the new one this semester is hydration.

Kaleb Neal
Turning in assignments on time and staying ahead.
Owen Roberson
I'm Owen Roberson. Well, for me I'm trying to get out of being lazy I guess and try to be outside more. The winter season for sure is a bit of like the seasonal depression kind of thing. So trying to get back into being outside, being social a bit more.

Just in general?
Dave
It could be anything.
Emily Daggerhart
Out? social media. I'm so tired of being on my phone all the time. I'm over it. I want to be more present in the next half of the semester. Like, be outside, do things. Not scrolling through TikTok or Instagram. I feel like it takes up a lot of my time and it's not productive.

Better grades, better relationships, better attitudes.

Regan Petto
Anything mid-day when you're, like, feeling kind of sad and you don't know why.
Dave
Wait, is that eating your feelings. That's not what that is.
Regan Petto
It’s not. It’s is keeping your body fueled.

Crying over your to do list.
