There are always the times when you are starving but you want to stay on your health kick, so it becomes a struggle to find the right type of food. It is hard to find those types of food at college that are going to satisfy your hunger and keep you on the right track of eating healthy.

1. Kiwi

It is overall a very pretty fruit, and it is full of protein and juices to quench your hunger for a healthy snack. It is an easy item to find at a dining hall too.

2. Smoothies

Smoothies are a great refreshing treat to have as a meal or a heavy snack after a tough workout. Adding any type of fruits or veggies to a smoothie will taste great with some almond milk and almond butter!

3. Dark chocolate

I definitely have a sweet tooth, and dark chocolate is my absolute favorite. Eating some semisweet chocolate will not only make you feel good, but it lowers blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.

4. Avocado

Avocado toast is my new obsession, and it is the best breakfast to pair with either a smoothie or a bowl of fruit. Unlike most fruits, it is full of healthy fats instead of carbs, and they are also just delicious and can be added to any meal for a richer taste.

5. Eggs

Eggs are another food I love to pair with my avocado toast. Fried or scrambled, eggs are delicious. They are a healthy and filling option for breakfast or lunch!

6. Almonds

Almonds are an easy snack to carry around and they are surprisingly very filling for how small they are. Almond butter is also a great substitute for peanut butter.

7. Kale

Kale is my absolute favorite, and people who don't like it just haven't had it prepared the right way. It is delicious in salads or to put on your sandwiches. It is full of fiber and a number of nutrients.

8. Oranges

Oranges are a great snack that is high in fiber and antioxidants. And if you played soccer when you were younger, it will bring back memories of always having orange slices after a game.

9. Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a great source of nutrients, and they are a great ingredient to put on a sandwich or salad. They can also be eaten plain for a snack with hummus or just some salt and pepper.

10. Quinoa

Another favorite dish that I love to eat when I am home. Quinoa is high in nutrients like fiber and magnesium. It is also an excellent source of plant-based protein. It is a great pairing with chicken and a kale salad!

Filling yourself up with healthy and feel-good foods will make you feel better inside and out. It may be easier to just grab some chips when you want a little snack, but putting in the extra effort to pick out veggies or fruits instead will make you feel better in the long run.

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.
