Problems Only Gym Goers Will Understand

When you walk into a swarm of gymers- most recently converted by short-lived promises of New Yrs Resolutions- and you're hunting for a machine. Or a bench. Or a spot.

When people don't put their weights back. Rerack em, bro.

When a girl walks into the gym with her hair down, full make up, and a pair of Victoria Secret butt-bedazzled sweat pants.

When it's been a long day and you scheduled yourself for leg day.

When some girl asks you much longer you'll be on the treadmill. While you're running. Out of breath. And only 10 meters in.

When a guy is groping his own bicep. Or checking himself out in the mirror. Or the worst- taking selfies while he's hogging the weights.

When you make the executive decision to follow a diet that suits your gym regimen.

When you follow up on that aforementioned diet commitment.

And by the end of your #cleaneating week you're just like-

But like Nike, you "just do it." Meanwhile, you're desperately waiting for alternatives.

In my opinion the physical caracteristics this year's student voice is not close enough to a real journal. I really appreciated last year's format which was very attractive visualy. According to what i heard from most of the people I talked to about Student Voice, they all agree that the layout is not very well taken care of and feels almost "quickly done" compared to what we have been used to. Thank you for your work!

We completely agree and we thank you for your feedback! Due to budget constraints that the committee is currently working with we have to figure out new solutions to printing costs and consider new print options. For instance, this month Student Voice is cutting back on a print publication and trying to focus more on online publications until our finances are back in order.

We hope to improve our print quality along with the content for your reading convenience. Hopefully in the New Year we can come back stronger with a new image and something more attractive for our EHL students.

Eeny, Meeny, Mini, Mo: A Recap of Movember

BY DAVID HEIM & ALEXANDRA LANGE BERNAL

Marching millimeter by millimeter, defying shavers and dress-codes as they move forward, a tiny army of brisk whiskers invaded EHL this November. They came in many shapes and sizes. Some were groomed to perfection, others madly violated by their confused owners. However, diverse as they were, man and moustache were uniting for a single cause: Movember.

Known as “Mo Bros”, these brave men and their furry friends followed what has swollen to an almost cult-like annual tradition to raise awareness for prostate cancer and hence, “change the face of men’s health”, with impressive success.

The charity run on Movembers’ official website raised over $174,000,000 worldwide. The masses of men maturating moes made Movember one of the top 100 NGOs according to the Global Journal(!), and has found support from celebrities, such as Snoop Dogg, and commoners, like myself, alike.

The Student Voice congratulates EHL for having contributed to this success with a best-of Movember edition. Since most of the moustaches featured will not be with us anymore following the end of November this rather personal feature will honor their legacy.

AN ODE TO THE 'STACHE

Once a year, when Christmas nears,

You’ll see hair everywhere, up to your ears!

They multiply on upper lips,

You ask “Dresscode?”

Yet they give two s**ts.

They come in pairs, one left, one right,

And Suit the young and old alike,

They make the prude polite, the dull a delight,

Oh Mo!

In the darkest of days, you are my white knight

But wait, why wouldn’t YOU grow your own?

All of history’s great men have shown: the Moustache is an ego inflator

Until deflated later

by an angry German dictator

And ladies, Frida Carlo too

Knew how to wear a foo-man-shoo,

Hair belongs on the face, no doubt about this

From Timbuktu, to the land of the Swiss.
