7 Tips For Feeling Healthier And More Energized Every Day

This past year I really didn't work on myself. I was so busy I forgot to take time to help make myself feel good and energized. I was very sluggish and always wanted to lay around. After school let out I told myself I would find little habits to include in to my everyday life that I can work on year round.

Here are 6 tips I have found extremely helpful in my journey to take better care of me!

1. Eat a good breakfast

​This has been drilled into my head many many times over the years by my parents and my doctors. I thought I was the perfect child for always eating breakfast, but the problem was that I wasn't eating a GOOD breakfast. Two bowls of Reese Puffs or Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal was most definitely not a "good" breakfast.

Now, I go for some fruit or yogurt or even the occasionally smoothie (which are amazing by the way). I feel so much better about myself when I eat something good right when I wake up.

2. Water Water Water

Always always always have a bottle of water on you. Not drinking enough water in the day can make you feel sluggish and lead to skin issues as well. Drinking water makes you feel so much better and ready to take on every day!

3. Vitamin D

Going outside for at least ten minutes every day is a sure way to make you feel energized. Soaking in the Vitamin D is a great for you and it is summertime after all so who wants to be indoors all day? Take your dog for a walk, ride your bike, or even just lounge on your porch or your backyard.

4. Don't start your day with your phone

I know most people sleep with their phones right next to their beds. The temptation to look at your phone as soon as you wake up is strong, but resist. Waking up without that distraction is so much better and doesn't make you want to lay in bed all day and scroll through social media. Get up right away and start your day! And try not to be attached to your phone all day either. Go out and do something exciting!

5. Hot drinks in the morning

Hot lemon water or hot mint tea or hot green tea can really help your immune system and make you feel refreshed every morning!

6. Go make up free!

You don't need to wear a face full of make up every day all day. Let your skin breathe! Your skin gets a chance to recover and it is so so good for your skin.

7. Work out

You don't necessarily need to do a hard core workout every day, but doing something active every day can really help your body feel good and energized every day. Whether you go to the gym, go for a run or walk, hike, or ride your bike, getting out and doing something is so important to feeling and being healthier.

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.
