Healthy Tips For College Students
Focus for Health

As we all can recall from our freshman year, the dining hall was the place to be. Whether it was Kennedy Commons (or as I liked to call it, K Com) marketplace, or fresh express, if you had a meal plan, it was game over. All in all, freshman 15 was a real thing. And a real wake up call for everyone. Being a college student is great. Eating whatever you want, whenever you want is also great - but in the end, it'll cost you and your health. So, here are some health tips to guide you throughout college!

Make a Workout Schedule

Exercising as well as having a well-balanced diet is the best way to go. So, figure out a specific time and day to workout and try to adhere to that during each semester!

Choose Healthy Snacks

It's easy to grab a bag of chips when your starving during class, but packing a few nutrition-packed granola bars (read those labels!), fruit, or celery and peanut butter will curb that hunger right away! And it won't leave you feeling more tired and hungry. Win- win right?

Prepare More Home-Cooked Meals

Walking over to Chipotle or Blaze Pizza is easy to do if you live right near it (like me), so making meals once in a while can help save you money and extra calories! So, instead of going to Chipotle every other day for dinner (I might have done that once...), make your own burritos! It doesn't take too long and you can put as much guac as you want! (Because isn't that all we really want in life anyways?)

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
