Most people find it hard to acclimate to living a healthy lifestyle, but once it truly becomes a lifestyle, it becomes addicting. Here are 10 ways to live a healthy lifestyle - both fitness and exercise.

1. Healthy breakfast

Start the day in the best way. Eat healthy, nutritious foods to fuel your body and get the day going. This may consist of oatmeal, eggs, a smoothie, and more.

2. Nutritious snacks

Instead of eating a chocolate bar between every class, have some granola clusters, a granola bar, or an apple to keep your body feeling good and energized throughout the day.

3. Dinner on the early side

Try to eat dinner a few hours before you go to bed, this will give your digestive system the time it needs digest what was consumed. Keep the before bed snacking to a minimum!

4. Simple exercise every other day

If you are not the type to enjoy exercise, simply take a long walk every other day or life a few weights. A little act will eventually add up.

5. Attend a workout class once a week

Force yourself! Make your body work and sweat. There is no better feeling that completing a workout you didn't think you were capable of and there is really no better feeling than a good sweat.

6. Make home cooked meals rather than eating out often

Know what is going in your foods. Cook the healthy options rather than eating a daily hamburger at the fast restaurant every day. Be sure to prioritize your meals and make time for a healthy one.

7. Hydrate with WATER!

Water water water! Flush your system. Start the day with water and end the day with water. Hydration is key!

8. Make a schedule and be consistent

Set goals and stick with them. Plan your days and leave time for a workout and a nutritious meal so that once you complete it, you will feel great.

9. Resist temptations

Resist the temptations of ordering those chicken fingers when you are out at a resturant with friends. Instead, be bold and get that healthy salad.

10. Be good

Treat your soul with kindness. Do what is right for YOUR body and eat what is good for you.

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.
