School is always one big stress ball for many students. If we're not worrying about a big test or homework, it's some project or presentation we have coming up.

Amidst all this stress, there are those people who either don't eat because they're too busy to fix themselves something or there are those people who grab the quickest thing they can find, which usually comes in a packaged good.

Either way, it's unhealthy and we know it. I recently fell victim to both. I would either not eat because I was so busy with classes and studying, or I would eat something I knew my body would regret later. When I finally realized this pattern of unhealthy eating, I figured I would make more of an attempt to eat healthier and find ways to do so.

So, in light of that, here are some quick, but delicious snacks that won't leave you feeling hungry.

1. Apples and Peanut butter

Apples are healthy and with a little amount of peanut butter, you have the greatest snack of all time! I mean, isn't the saying, "An apple and some peanut butter a day, keeps the doctor away?"

2. Parfait

Yogurt with some nuts and fruit is always my go to in the morning or lunchtime if I'm feeling busy or on the go! Just add a few almonds/walnuts and some blueberries (or any of your favorite berries!) and you're in for a sweet treat!

3. Hummus and Pita Chips

Hummus and pita chips are always my go-to for a quick lunch if I'm feeling too busy to fix myself something else! Even eating hummus with some carrots or celery is just as delish too!

4. Veggie Wrap

I know it may seem like a lot of work, but trust me, whipping up a veggie wrap when you're on the go is easy as 1, 2, 3! Grab some wheat or spinach wrap, add your favorite hummus spread, and top it with some carrots, bell peppers, and cucumbers and you're all set!

5. Chips and Salsa

Chips and salsa are always my go-to, but it can become unhealthy when you eat more chips than salsa or vice versa. The trick is to get the right chips and salsa and you're set. Making my own salsa is my favorite thing to do since its easy and delicious! Cut some onions, tomatoes, corn and add some lime, and voila! You've got salsa.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
