SUMMARY: Many Mississippians will lose access to weight loss programs at the end of next year, as obesity is a significant problem in the state, with 35% of the population being obese. The Mississippi Against Obesity Foundation has been providing weight loss programs and started offering telehealth calls during the pandemic, but will stop using them after December 2024. However, Mississippians on Medicare with a body mass index over 30 can still apply for free services. Those interested can apply on the foundation’s website while the service is still available.

SUMMARY: At the University of Southern Mississippi, freshmen are required to live on campus, a mandate that some students find inconvenient due to financial concerns. Freshman Gabrielle Cox expressed frustration, arguing that students living nearby should have the option to commute without incurring extra costs. While some students dislike the requirement, others, like a fellow USM student, feel positively about the experience but acknowledge that it can lead to social challenges. Many freshmen find it difficult to make friends, leading to feelings of loneliness for those who struggle to connect with others in the dorm environment.
