No matter how good (or bad) you'd describe your health, one thing is for sure: a little boost is ALWAYS a good idea. Whether that's reading a new, motivating book, or listening to a song that speaks to your soul, there are plenty of resources to help your health thrive on any given day.

We all know that leafy greens are a key aspect of a healthy, balanced diet. We see the influencers with their smoothies and restaurants boasting of their new superfood salads — is that what we're left with? Some sad, predictable salads at lunch for the sake of our health?

While that may have been your mother's plan of action, it doesn't have to be yours. Incorporating green nutrients into your life is so much easier (and tastier) than a few wilted lettuce leaves.

Each week, we're bringing you the best resources and influencers to give you a health boost. Here's what we're following this week regarding leafy greens.

Book: "The Book of Greens"

While you may think that incorporating greens has to be bland, Jenn Louis is here to prove differently. She has the solution (175 of them, actually) to tasty, nutritious meals that give you all the green gusto your body needs.

Podcast: "The Bon Appetit Foodcast"

"The Bon Appetit Foodcast" is full of knowledge for transforming the ingredients in your life. In this episode, they talk about getting picky children to eat greens... the same methods can easily be applied to adults, too.

Instagram influencer: Megan Evans

Megan Evans is a plant-based, whole foods blogger who not only understands leafy greens, she can't get enough of them! Her dishes are so pretty that you'll be changing your lifestyle up in no time.

Twitter account: Plant Based Bre

Plant Based Bre is coming to you from a stance that isn't vegan but is plant-based. Confused? Check her out and see what nutritious meals she's prepping this week.

YouTuber: Healthnut Nutrition

It's too easy to get stuck in a rut, especially when it comes to getting key nutrients into our diet. Healthnut Nutrition provides 10 new ways to eat more greens, so you'll never be bored.

BONUS: Ninja

All in all, when you're on-the-go and need those greens NOW, a smoothie is the quickest, easiest choice. You might as well invest in a good blender.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.
