No. 1. Yoforia.
A tasty twirl of heavenly frozen yogurt, with fabulous fresh fruit. Oh-so-good, and oh-so-good for you. Definitely worth the sphenopalatine ganglioneuralgia (a.k.a. brain freeze) on a 15 degree winter evening in Atlanta.
And the refreshing picture is compliments of...

When it's dark almost 18 hours of the day and you feel as though you haven't seen the sun in awhile, his photography will remind you of the optimistic light at the end of the tunnel (and prove to you that it's not always a train). I'd post my favorite photo of his, but a) I have too many favorites, and, b) I'd rather not get sued for copyright when he becomes famous. Hopefully, I won't get sued for the photo above, either, because, at the moment, I only have $2 in my bank account.
Though, it's good to know that talent like his still comes from my once-upon-a-time hometown of Cleveland Heights, and that, sometimes, the best coincidences are the ones you discover for yourself. Like...
No. 3. Kiersten Holine.
Singer, songwriter, and surprisingly sensational. I stumbled upon her covers of the Beatles and Ingrid Michaelson on YouTube, and then decided to pay a visit to her MySpace. Check her out the next time you're in need of some soul-searching and silence just isn't setting the right tone.
The aforementioned won't help me break my target score on the MCAT, boost my chances of getting into grad school, or guarantee my fall-back science journalism internship in D.C. next year; but, at the very least, it's kept me sane through the drudgery of studying and winter weather. And maybe, just maybe, all these things will make your January more worthwhile, too.
