“Adulting” is a hard skill to master. It requires you to complete boring activities such as maintaining budgets and remembering to change your car’s oil. The ultimate test, however, is learning to maintain healthy habits during such an exciting time. Getting enough sleep, exercising and eating right are the keys to a long, happy life, but they can be hard to care about when there is so much freedom to explore! This list accurately depicts the progression of health-related habits in college.

Sleep

As soon as you enter college you realize that you can stay out as late as you want to and no one can tell you otherwise.

Coffee, you discover, is a great substitute for sleep.


But then you learn that the lack of sleep is affecting your mood and no amount of caffeine can compensate for that.

So you start setting curfews for yourself. And sometimes you actually go to bed on time!

(But most of the time, you decide to go hang out with your friends instead.)


Exercise

Exercise is another wellness hurtle. Since you aren’t in sports anymore like you were in high school, you have to find an alternative way to stay active. You try a lot of different activities — some of which you aren’t so good at:

And you often don’t know what you’re doing.

But, once you find an activity you enjoy, it just clicks for you.

And you ask your friends to join in on the fun.

But mostly, you’d rather just not workout.

Diet

And then there’s eating healthy. How can you eat healthy when there is such delicious food around you?

But you know eating out isn’t the healthiest for you or your bank account.

You try to make your own meals, but no one can cook like your parents can.

And when you do make healthy food, your friends often remind you how not-like-pizza it is.

Another downside is that making food is such a time-suck.

So you eat whatever’s fast, easy and tasty.

You’ll try again tomorrow, hoping that one day you’ll be able to feed yourself like an adult.

But don’t feel bad! You’ll learn how to adult soon enough. Keep trying and remember that college is a time for fun just as much as it is for learning how to maintain healthy habits.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
