BEHIND THE GLASS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Tips for college health
ALEXANDRA SANTOS

Avoid the awkward stomach- grumbling moment in a quiet class: Don't skip meals and eat healthy snacks throughout the day.
Drink moderately and abstain from binge drinking. Nobody likes the hangovers that come with excessive drinking. Plus, fewer visits to bars means more money.
Stretch, walk, run or bike skip the crowded bus and enjoy the fall weather. The bus will still be there this winter.
Avoid all-nighters and take plenty of naps. A good night's sleep can do wonders.
Drink lots of water. A great, albeit gross tip is to aim for pale pee.
Always use protection.
Take a break and destress from homework anxiety.
Spend time with friends.
Keep in touch with family and friends to avoid homesickness.

O'Neal's love of Lindsborg was inspired by artist Birger Sandzén. The director first came across the artist's work as a University student and was so inspired that he went to Lindsborg and built a relationship with the artist's family and the city itself, where he shot the movie. It features the local Swedish festival and 250 extras from the city.

Before the screening, O'Neal taught a screenwriting workshop to 15 people, mainly community members. He provided tips for writing a successful screenplay, commentary on famous films and filmmakers and bits of encouragement.
