It's the most important meal of the day!

Five Healthy College Breakfasts

I've always been a big breakfast person. I don't usually wake up hungry, but after about 30 mins- an hour after waking up, I get ravenous. I love food and making healthy meals, but it's a lot harder in college to cook for myself without all the commodities of my home kitchen. I've slowly gotten into a routine of making quick and healthy meals. It's all about making time for it and not making excuses!

Scrambled Eggs

If you have a dorm kitchen, this recipe is even easier, but you can actually make scrambled eggs in the microwave! Eggs are a good source of protein so they are really filling, and you can add spices and add ins to make them taste even better. I like adding everything but the bagel seasoning, garlic powder, salsa, or feta cheese to mine.

Berry Oatmeal

Oatmeal is one of my all time favorite breakfasts, because you can add lots of things in and customize it so many ways. My favorite is chocolate protein powder, peanut butter, and fresh strawberries, but there are lots of other options too. A good way to save money and time is to buy frozen fruit like mixed berries to microwave in with your oatmeal. The berries release their juices and it tastes great! Oatmeal also fills you up for a long day of class.

Avocado Toast

This is definitely one for the dorm kitchen, but it's not hard to make at all! Just toast your bread and add about 1/3-1/2 of a ripe avocado, mashed on top. I like to add everything but the bagel seasoning or feta cheese to add some extra flavor. Avocados are full of healthy fats that keep you full for hours and are really good for you!

Smoothie Bowl

I brought my magic bullet blender from home for this, but that's the only extra appliance you may need for this one. My favorite is to add frozen tropical fruit, half a banana, and almond milk into my blender and top it with granola, strawberries, and melted peanut butter! The fruit is great for added fiber and the peanut butter gives it protein and healthy fats!

KIND Bars

For when you're really on the go, sometimes there's no other option but a quick granola bar. I love KIND bars, my favorite is the chocolate cherry cashew or the almond butter breakfast bars. Pair a KIND bar with an apple and you're good to go for a long day of class! It's easy to eat while walking and doesn't make a big mess.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
