5 Free Apps For A Healthier Life

There are so many apps out there, but a few of my favorite that I have are all centered around a healthy lifestyle. Some are about exercise and food logging, and others will help you have a healthy mind. Here are some of my favorite "healthy life" apps I have come across.

1. FitbitUnfortunately, in order to use this app, you have to have a fitbit to register. I highly recommend getting a fitbit, you can find them for relatively cheap on Amazon. This app is great because it not only tracks your steps and exercise, but also tracks your sleep, calories burned, and allows you to track your food and water. You can also challenge friends to fitness challenges.

2. Plant Nanny

I always struggle to drink enough water throughout the day because I always am forgetting. This app is so cute. You get to grow a cute little cartoon plant. Each time you drink your desired amount of water, you log it into the app and your plant gets happy. If you forget to drink water, it will send a reminder. if you keep forgetting to drink water, your plant will die. This app is a fun way to be held responsible for the amount of water you drink!

3. MyFitnessPal

If you don't have a Fitbit, this app is great to track your food intake and log exercise. It will help you stay on track of heathy eating and can help you reach your fitness goals.

4. Happify


This app will help you with stress and anxiety. Happify gives you tips and tricks to deal with any emotion you are feeling and will help you overcome negative feelings through programs and games.

5.Sworkit

Sworkit is an awesome app because it will help you learn new and fun exercises for any ability. It has workouts that require no equipment, and provides videos on how to do each exercise. You can customize a workout based on your abilities and what you wish to achieve.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
