5 Ways To Feel Energized Without Coffee

Once you've become hooked on coffee it can be hard to go a day without it. But this acidic and bloating beverage is not the only solution to your mid-day drowsiness. Try one of these methods for a healthier and cheaper option than your usual trip to Starbucks!

1. Bang Energy Drinks

Don't underestimate this new popular drink- it has no sugar or calories, making it one of the healthiest energy drinks on the market. While it is lacking sugar, this does not mean it is lacking caffeine. Bang energy drinks contain immense amounts of caffeine- over 300mg per can! If you need a major boost of energy before a workout or a long day ahead, try Bang energy drinks.

2. Eat more apples

If you're looking for a lighter energy boost, try eating an apple! While apples do not have any caffeine in them, they have a decent amount of natural sugars which will wake up your brain and provide a natural boost. Besides this, apples are much more beneficial to our daily diets than coffee.

3. Drink ice cold water

Preferably first thing in the morning, drink a large glass of cold water to alert your mind and flush any toxins in your body. I find that drinking cold water, especially on an early morning, is a good way to stimulate your brain.

4. Try drinking green or black tea.

For a healthier alternative, still with decent amounts of caffeine, opt for a glass of iced or hot tea. Tea is much better for your digestion and even has calming effects on people. Iced green tea is perfect for a hot day, without the bloating and headaches that come with drinking coffee.

5. Take a power nap

Sometimes when you feel you're losing energy, it may be because your body needs a little more rest. There's nothing wrong with a mid-day power nap to keep you going. Whether it's 10 minutes to an hour, resting your body and mind is always beneficial.

Keep a little extra money in your pocket with these cheaper and healthier alternatives to coffee. No longer are the days of headaches, bloating and cravings for Starbucks overrated beverages. Keep yourself motivated and energized with these five alternatives!

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.
