It may be hard going back to college and trying to continue that resolution to stay healthy, but by following a few tips, your healthy lifestyle can prosper.

Exercise with Friends

Going to work out with some company can turn out very productive. Your friends can encourage you to do better, and going to the gym could seem less intimidating and much more fun. Trading exercises, attending classes, or even playing intramurals are great, healthy ways to readjust to being back at college during the new year.

Eat Well

First and foremost, have a well-balanced diet. It's hard not falling back into the habits that come along with attending college. Dieting can be difficult when you are surrounded by fast food almost everywhere you go, but with the right mindset and proper research, eating healthy can become easier. Try eating more vegetables and fruits, and don't try to portion control every meal you have. It's okay to slip up every now and then. Researching what food is good for your body type and being knowledgeable about what you eat is very important to staying well.

Sleep More

Sleeping is credited towards being one of the major factors in staying healthy. Sleeping allows us to restore ourselves from our daily lives. It helps reduce stress, improve your memories, and even help your body heal itself. More sleep is what keeps our body functioning properly.

Plan Things Out

Have a schedule to help balance out your life. By doing this, you can get organized and know what is needed to get done at a specific time. You can schedule when you work out when you have classes, and even when you go out with friends. This can help reduce stress and make you happier overall, as well as, produce a healthier and organized lifestyle.

Avoid Caffeine

It's hard being in college and not drinking coffee or soda. However, caffeine actually causes much more than a boost in activity. It causes irritability, interferes with sleep, and even causes difficulty with concentration. So by avoiding caffeine, one can become a well off person.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking more water can help out with your body's way of coping with all the activities that you do. Water boosts health and metabolism while helping your bodily organs function properly. Water hydrates you, reduce headaches, and keeps you glowing well.

Have Fun

Going out with friends is a good way to de-stress and enjoy your life. It increases endorphins that help you stay happy and feel good about yourself. Having fun and enjoying yourself is one of the primary focuses of a healthy mind to the healthy body people seek.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
