Richie Flores is a lead blind ambassador for the Blind Café. He guides an experience where people sit and eat in complete pitch-black darkness. "The first 15 minutes are always the most challenging for folks, so just know the longer you can hold out and work with us on it, it gets better, OK?" Flores says.Although Flores hosts events across the nation, his group today is with first-generation students, the first in their family to go to college.Before heading into the dark room, the students anticipate what to expect. "I'm anxious that I don't know what's ahead of me, but I'm excited for this experience," one student says."Not too comfortable in pitch darkness," another student expresses.The Blind Cafe is a national organization staffed by people who are either blind or visually impaired, since they already know how to navigate the world without sight. Flores says he lost his eyesight to cancer at the age of 3. But for the guests, it’s an eye opener and a path to better communication skills. "I really like the vulnerability that people show in the dark, and the community that it brings together," says Casey Papp with the Blind Cafe. "We create a safe container for people to feel uncomfortable.""Sometimes out in the visual world, we come in with judgments and choose not to talk," Flores says. "And when you're in the dark, and you're having to use your words, you have to talk and have to communicate."With hands on each other's shoulders, the students walk in."The moment you walk in, it's like a whole different world," one student says, while in complete darkness."I get really claustrophobic, so I'm feeling that," another student says.For 15 minutes, the students touch and taste different foods in front of them. Some say they can’t tell the difference between a cherry tomato and a grape. Others say their eyes want to focus on something, but they never do. After some time and reflection, the lesson suddenly becomes clear."Most people they walk out of the dark with something that they didn't have going in, or a different perspective, or some piece of themselves that they didn't realize they weren't in touch with," Papp says.Eventually, they're back into what's familiar as they walk out of the room."When you're in darkness, you experience a whole new sense of who you are, and what you can become. I just really let it flow, and let my emotions run through," one student says of the experience."That's what we're doing for college. Just kind of going into it blindly, not knowing what's going to happen or what to expect, but just knowing that it will hopefully make us a better person after and make us stronger," another student says.Flores says the experience isn't a simulation on blindness or an empathy program."It's all about creating community through empowering communication, the enjoyment and what that brings to your soul, and also what music brings to your soul," Flores says.Sometimes all it takes is a new outlook on life to change your mindset and move forward with positivity."Be proud of who you are, your culture, your language, your identities... and just keep going," Flores says. 3147

Student journalists at The Daily at Northwestern University are caught in a hailstorm of debate about journalism ethics after the paper opted to apologize for publishing pictures of students protesting a campus visit by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The newspaper relented after demands came from the protesters to take down photos of the protest over fear of repercussions from the university.While the paper's official stance claimed that they were minimizing harm to the protesters by removing the photos, a dean for the university said that the journalists were being bullied by the protesters upset by the coverage. The incident took place last week when Sessions attended a College Republicans event on Northwestern's campus. The Daily said that it sent two reporters to cover the event - one directly to the event, and another to cover the protests. As part of the paper's reporting, photos of the protesters were used on a reporter's Twitter account. Also, a protester's name was published by the paper. The Daily said that by publishing the photos and name, the paper may have caused potential harm to the protesters. "Any information The Daily provides about the protest can be used against the participating students — while some universities grant amnesty to student protesters, Northwestern does not. We did not want to play a role in any disciplinary action that could be taken by the University," The Daily wrote in a statement on its website. But the dean that oversees Northwestern's journalism department said that the reporters for The Daily have an obligation to cover events like the protest of Sessions' visit to Northwestern. "I am deeply troubled by the vicious bullying and badgering that the students responsible for that coverage have endured for the “sin” of doing journalism," Northwestern Dean Charles Whitaker said. "Like those student journalists, I, too, have been approached by several student activists who were angered by the fact that they and their peers were depicted on the various platforms of The Daily engaged in the very public act of protesting the Sessions speech," Whitaker added. "I have explained to those activists that as Northwestern’s—and the city of Evanston’s—principal paper of record, The Daily had an obligation to capture the event, both for the benefit of its current audience as well as for posterity. "I have also offered that it is na?ve, not to mention wrong-headed, to declare, as many of our student activists have, that The Daily staff and other student journalists had somehow violated the personal space of the protesters by reporting on the proceedings, which were conducted in the open and were designed, ostensibly, to garner attention."While some have mocked the decision to apologize, the 2784

Spring is just days away! That means a lot of people are gearing up to “spring clean” their homes. But it’s also a great time to “spring clean” your health!One of the best parts about spring: more sun shine. "Having sun exposure before noon is scientifically proven to help you with mood and sleep,” says Dr. Kate Johnson, a family medical practitioner. Dr. Johnson says sunblock is a must for your skincare regimen, and the higher the SPF the better. "Even though we can get vitamin D from the sun, we can take that in a supplement to protect our skin," she says. Come spring, there are plenty of new fruits and vegetables in season, including apricots, asparagus, strawberries and artichokes. Unfortunately, when nature is in full bloom, that means allergies are, too. So, before they strike, stock up on nasal sprays. "You want to hop on those right now,” Dr. Johnson says. “I recommend dosing them at bedtime." When taking care of your health this spring, it’s a good time to ditch the “I can’t exercise” mentality. "If you are not an avid exerciser currently, I recommend starting with walking,” Dr. Johnson recommends. “[It’s] a fantastic way to go, and I like to tell my patients to start with 5 minutes is a great start, and we can build as we go." Remember, no matter the season, sleep is key! Don't let anything come between you and rest. Dr. Johnson recommends putting you phone down before sleep, as it can interfere with falling asleep. 1466
