Every year we always tell ourselves we're going to be healthier, from going to the FAC more often to eating less pizza and french fries in Boulder. But being healthy isn't only about eating less "bad" food and going to the FAC more to work out, there's many more aspects than you'll even realize.
Just remember to...
1. Get more sleep.
The possibility of getting more sleep sometimes seems almost to unreasonable. With the millions of clubs and assignments due, getting work done at a reasonable time might be impossible, but it comes down to time management. The basis is to manage your time and do your work in a timely manner or your sleep schedule will suffer.
2. Wash your hands often.
Your high school teachers and parents probably told you all the time to wash your hands, but it's the key to avoiding illnesses. Let's face it, everyone in college gets sick, but if wash your hands often there will be fewer germs you will have to worry about.
3. Exercise.
I'm by no means saying to go out every day and go for ten mile runs, but every other day try to make it up to the FAC, maybe even attend a fitness class. Exercising will actually help you
4. Cut out the junk food.
I know, it's a really hard one. Walking in Boulder and making the decision of what you'll eat may be one of the most difficult decisions. There's endless options of pizza and fried foods, which in moderation aren't terrible for you, but sometimes try to go for a sandwich or the salad bar instead of the fried chicken.
5. Always give yourself "me-time."
College is a busy time. There's always seven million things we feel as we need to do. Every once in a while try to remind yourself of you hobbies and the things you enjoy doing. If that involves not leaving your bed for a whole day, let it be and go with it. There's nothing wrong with that.
6. Just relax.
Nothing is as pressing as it may seem. Remember to take a few deep breaths and carry on.
College is a great time and enjoy every possible moment and you don't want to spend time sick, so stay healthy and have fun.
