I'm Trying To Get Fit But There Are No Healthy Options On Campus–Help

I am a busy person. Every college student is a busy person. We spend most of our time studying, socializing, sleeping and doing extracurricular activities like going to the gym. Sometimes we get really busy and don't have time to go grocery shopping or meal prep for the week. Sometimes we don't even have the money to buy groceries! I barely have time to get ready because I value my sleep so much! So I get to school, and I am starving. I want to lose weight and eat healthily but I only have a limited time to eat. I don't have time to sit down and eat. I need something on the go. But there is nothing healthy!!

I go to San Diego State University and I am a third year. I am not on the meal plan either. Normally, third and fourth-year students aren't on the meal plan because it is expensive and it is not required for us. Some of the food options here on campus are expensive and we don't have the money to be wasting on expensive food. Our options are fast food places like The Habit, Chipotle, Panda Express, Subway and Rubio's. Rubio's is kinda healthy but there is always a long line waiting for your food. I don't have time for that. There is Olive Oil that has healthy sandwiches but one, they cost about $8-9 and two, the wait time takes too long. Also, Olive Oil is located in West Commons and that's far!

I am going to the gym every day but in order to lose weight, I also need to eat healthily. Being a college student means you're always busy, sleepy, stressed and hungry. There has to be a way to be happy and going to college at the same time. That's why SDSU needs to provide healthy and on-the-go options for students. There are other universities like UCSD that have those options for students. And I bet SDSU has the money for it. They should want the best for their students. We pay a lot of money to go there and they should at least over healthy food places for us!

I graduate in two years and I know SDSU is not going to offer that in two years. But future students deserve these healthy options! The next generation of students deserves this.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
