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.

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.

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.
