Dining Hall: Popular. Everyone wants to eat in Adams. That’s the problem. Adams residents are notoriously bitter about the overcrowding of Adams dining hall. Lucy’s much too nice to turn people away (unless she has Vinnie M.

If you feel sad and tired for a couple of months, have trouble sleeping and making decisions, and gain weight, you can be given a DSM diagnosis of depression (296.31 or 296.32, mild or moderate, recurrent) and prescribed drugs for it - even if the reason for your funk is that you just lost your job.
