If you're anything like me, your 2019 resolution to live a healthier lifestyle may not be off to a great start. Staying healthy in college is definitely not easy. With classes, assignments, and trying to maintain a social life, it is hard to stay active. Making time for the gym, or finding healthy meal options on campus may be hard, but it is definitely not impossible. Here are 5 ways to stay healthy in college!

1. Make a schedule

Time management is crucial in college. You will feel much more organized when you make a schedule, and find time to go to the gym.

2. Find a gym buddy

Finding a gym buddy can make working out much more fun. Find a friend who will workout with you regularly, and who will force you to go (even though you would much rather eat ice cream and watch Netflix).

3. Make a dorm workout routine

You don't always need to go the gym to work out. If you're anything like me and are too lazy to walk to the gym, finding exercises to do in your dorm room is super easy and convenient!

4. Get healthy snacksĀ 

Keeping snacks in your room can be dangerous, but finding healthy alternatives to your favorite snacks is a great way to stay healthy. Trader Joe's has so many healthy snack that aren't just good for you, but they taste good too!

5. Know your food options

Ladies and gentlemen, the Freshmen 15 is very real. Knowing what healthy options are served in the dining halls is crucial to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While it is OK to have a cheat day (or two), it is important to know what good healthy options are available to you.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
