Get That Spring Break Bod For You, Not For Spring Break

Because everyone is wanting that “spring break” bod.

As March quickly approaches, there is ONE thing on everyone’s minds, SPRING BREAK. The beaches will soon be full of drunk college kids, and bad decisions. You might even just be going on a nice family vacation, but almost always before that time comes, many people are anxious about getting a Jennifer Aniston or Zac Efron type body.

The primary motivator is SPRING BREAK, and duh who doesn’t want to look their absolute best while chugging multiple kinds of alcohol. That’s the problem though, your motivation and drive shouldn’t just be because you might see your ex Tom in Fort Lauderdale, or you want 28,947 Instagram likes.

I mean yeah, Spring Break could be one of the reasons why you drag yourself out of bed to go run 5 miles, there is nothing wrong with that. Your true inspiration though should come from you personally wanting to better yourself. Don’t just look good that one week out of the year, make it a year-round goal to be healthy.

The incentive needs to be that you going to put in work at the gym is improving your overall health, mind, and body. You are sweating profusely and almost passing out on the StairMaster only for YOU, and nobody else.

This goes not only about you going to the gym, it goes for what you put in your mouth too. As you order that salad and soup, instead of a large BigMac, with extra fries and a coke, know that your cholesterol thanks you. With you eating better and putting more vegetables in your body instead of Papa John’s pizza and breadsticks (the best) is going to help you out so much in the long run. Don’t do it to just show yourself off during that one-week celebration, do it to show yourself off for the next many years of your life as well.

Not just with spring break coming up, there are lots of other reasons why people choose to turn their lives around and that is always great, as long as your main focus is you making yourself better.

Self-care should always be a priority in your daily to-do list. So, don’t make spring break, or anything else ever your major motive. Do those 50 squats and get a Kim Kardashian a** for YOU. Eat that gross but, healthy sub with kale for YOU.

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.
