We know not everybody is totally thrilled by the idea of getting on a treadmill or heading to the gym to get in their daily exercise.

But luckily for you, exercising at the gym isn't the only way to keep healthy throughout your daily life. Here is a list of 10 life-hacks that will keep you staying healthy, even without the exercise.

1. Go for a walk when stressed

If you opt for a 15-minute walk instead of spending another 15-minutes on that couch, you can burn up to 9,360 calories a year (assuming you burn 6 calories per minute)!

2. Improve your posture


Try out various exercises that can stretch and work your muscles to keep your back straight for long periods of times.

3. Get a Kinect

It's the perfect way to workout without actually working out.

4. Go for a hike or climb a tree

Who doesn't love being one with nature?

5. Clean the house

Housework is a great way to burn calories! Your arms will get stronger and more defined, just from doing all the hard work with your hands!

6. Stretch when watching television

This not only keeps your back from hurting, but it gives you a jolt of energy.

7. Wash your car

On average, people can burn 6 cals/min washing their cars.

8. Get into gardening

You'll know where your food is coming from and you'll get some exercise while doing it.

9. Pay more attention to portion sizes

what you eat. Sometimes it's about how much you're eating.

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.
