Spring Break is too close to count, and if you are going to a tropical destination you may be freaking out. The beach body that you may or may not have had in the summer is long gone. Between the holidays and the cold weather, it might need a little work to get back in shape. But warmer weather is on it's way. So, here are some helpful tips to eat and be a little healthier before spring break and the warmer weather hits.

1. Grab a bunch of friends

Friend and family support is very important, they will help you stick to your goals. Also, encourage them to be apart of their healthy habits. Push each other and keep on going.

2. Limit intake of sugary foods and drinks

Now it's a bad idea to completely go cold turkey on some of your guilty pleasures, but keep track of how much sugary foods and drinks you consume. Those high sugar foods might taste good, but they won't feel good after a workout.

3. Keep hydrated

This is probably the number one thing most people don't do, is drink enough water. Yes you might have to use the bathroom every 15 minutes, but drinking enough water will help with skin elasticity, memory functions, and body temperature control.

4. Eat fiber

Fiber generally has a stigma to it about how it makes you go to the bathroom, but just remember it is essential to keep a healthy body weight. But there are so many positives, it can lower cholesterol, controls blood sugar levels and it's in most natural foods, such as vegetables, fruits, and grains.

5. Never Grocery Shop when you are hungry

This is really dangerous and you will find yourself going down the aisles like the salty and sweet filled ones. Make a list of all the foods you need and grab them and go.

6. Start a workout routine

Humans like to have a routine, so develop one for your workout and stick to it. Eating healthy will keep your energy high and you will get to the gym on days where you didn't think you could after a stressful day at work/school.

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.
