It's no secret that being a college student has its various stressors, everything from maintaining that bomb GPA to making sure you have stellar weekend plans. Keeping a healthy weight does not need to be one of those stressors. These snacks are not only tasty, but healthy, too!

1. Yogurt

Giphy

It's yummy, it comes in many flavors, and it contains probiotics, which are great for your digestive health.

2. Bananas

Giphy

Full of potassium; it's great for your heart. Plus, it gives you energy!

3. Celery and peanut butter

Giphy

It's a way to make a not-so-appetizing snack a little more tasty.

4. Pretzels

Giphy

They're not the best of snack choices, but they certainly taste good!

5. Scrambled eggs

Giphy

One of the healthiest foods on the planet, and super easy to make! (Even if you're as cooking-challenged as me!)

6. String Cheese

Giphy

Just delicious.

7. Applesauce

Giphy

As long as it's not loaded up with sugar, it's a pretty good (and simple) snack.

8. Avocado toast

Giphy

Avocados have at least 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving, and smearing them on toast is absolutely delicious! Take it from me.

9. Trail Mix

Giphy

Many people have difficulty fitting nuts into their diet, and this is an easy way to get those nutrients. Plus, you can always slip a few M&M's in there as well!

10. Apple slices and peanut butter

Giphy

The perfect pair. Enough said.

The list goes on and on. Just look at it this way: if you have the option between a snack like one listed above and an unhealthy one (that, not to mention, isn't going to give you the energy you need), choose the healthy one more often than the latter. I swear, you won't regret it, and your body will thank you.

Being Invisible The Best Super Power

The best superpower ever? Being invisible of course. Imagine just being able to go from seen to unseen on a dime. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to be invisible?

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:
