Unfortunately, many people are in shortage of EpiPens which may help with their allergic reactions. However, people can still find their way to alternative options to alleviate allergic reactions. We definitely remember the Food and Drug Administration as our best friend when reaching out for drugs and all. Just recently, the FDA added generic EpiPens and Adrenaclick autoinjectors to other drug shortages. Although there has definitely been a shortage of these drugs, FDA explicitly states that Mylan is on the rise and go for distributing EpiPens and its generic version.

If you ever are at a point where you seem to have a shortage of EpiPens, it would be a great idea to maybe look at the expiration dates and other alternatives which may be sufficient to provide in times like this. People can look into Auqi-V which may help alleviate the allergy.

"In short, patients who are suffering from extreme cases of food allergies should call Mylan Customer Relations at 800-796-9526 for assistance in locating alternative pharmacies," the FDA said. Thus, patients are advised to speak to their doctor about using Auqi-V for better instructions on how to use the drug and effectively alleviate most trivial yet cumbersome symptoms of food allergies.

For those who suffer from allergies after eating fish or nuts, make sure to call your doctor to see if EpiPens are available. In any case, most aren't available, so it would be best to look for alternatives as suggested above! Happy Hunting.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
