Snacking has it's pros, and snacking has it's cons. Learning how to balance the two is key to learning how to snack right! Instead of eating that left over slice of pizza before dinner, imagine how many more your body will thank you if you replace that greasy, cheesy, carb overloaded slice with a healthier alternative. Best part? Healthy doesn't always mean boring. It may surprise you! Check out these 9 healthy snacks that will have you running back for more!

Celery & Hummus

This combo is the perfect summer snack! The crispy, nutrient packed celery pairs perfectly with the protein filled, mouth watering hummus.

Apples & Peanut Butter

I like to think of this one as the sweeter alternative to celery & hummus? Have a sweet tooth? Craving a sweeter snack? This one is perfect!

Greek Yogurt & Fruits

Feeling extra fancy? Top it off with some granola and dark chocolate chips. Delicious!

Oatmeal & Fruits

Now, I know what your thinking. Oatmeal? Gross. Here's a little secret. If you get creative with it, it has potential to become your favorite snack.

Baked Zucchini Chips

All I have to say is - wow.

Prepare a batch the night before and you'll be set for the rest of the week!

Trail mix

You can find trail mix at any supermarket, but if you feel like having some fun with it, you can even make your own! Combing a variety of nuts, dried fruit and dark chocolate is like candy but better.

Lettuce Wrap

Now this one comes with a ton of creative freedom! You can go as simple as wrapping a slice of turkey and cheese in lettuce, or some freshly cooked ground chicken/turkey topped with fresh veggies!

Green Smoothies

Again, green does not mean gross! There are a variety of yummy smoothies you can create in your own kitchen. My favorite? Apple, Kiwi, Kale and a touch of carrots. I promise it tastes amazing!

Traditional Greek Salad

I bet you had no idea that a traditional greek salad has no lettuce at all! It's only cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, peppers, feta cheese and the traditional simple greek salad dressing! This is the perfect snack when you're in the mood for something light but filling. Double the portion, and you can turn it into a full meal!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
