7 Healthy Lifestyle Hacks
Reference

Being "healthy" is more than a trend, it's a lifestyle. If you're anything like me, it's not easy (or practical) to try and cut out carbs, sweets and other things that are just hard to give up. Here are eight healthy hints that are achievable and workable into an everyday routine without meal prep or stress.

1. Drink Lemon Water



Lemon Water aids in digestion, detoxes, increases energy and mood and rejuvenates skin. Stick a lemon wedge in your water bottle and sip on it throughout the day!

2. Take Vitamin D.



Popping a vitamin D pill is a powerful health booster and anti inflammatory power holder. Experts speculate the majority of people are lacking vitamin D.

3. Spend at least 20 minutes exercising a day.



Whether it's running on the treadmill, holding a plank or going for a hike, it's crucial to stay fit!

4. Don't skip breakfast!



Breakfast starts your metabolism and helps you stay alert throughout the day.

5. Get a good nights sleep!


Doctors recommend seven to eight hours of sleep a night.

6. Eat the rainbow.

Eat fruits and vegetables of all different colors, different colors serve different health purposes.

7. Go for snacks high in protein.

Instead of reaching for the potato chips, choosing a snack high in protein will satisfy you longer. This allows you to not snack as much in between meals.

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.

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.
