Everyone knows that Halloweekend is the prime time to do stupid shit in college. Not only do you witness a multitude of slutty costumes and get ideas for next year, but you also have an amazing time with your friends doing things unrelated to school.

I know that Halloweekend was probably amazing for some of you, and for others, it was probably a shit show, but in the end, we all end up with the same issues, also known as being hungover, tired, and not ready to start another week of school.

Here are some tips that can definitely help you get back on track for those last couple weeks of the semester so that you're not regretting the weekend for more than the two days following all the events. Take these seriously and stop pretending that your entire body isn't in shock after all the cranberry vodkas and shots you downed this weekend.

1. Drink water

Let’s not pretend like your water intake was normal this weekend (vodka sodas don’t count…). Take some time to drink water throughout the day and your hungover body will thank you. Judging by some of the Facebook pictures I have seen, most of you should be clinging to your water bottles more tightly than ever.

So instead of your daily latte, which will probably make you more bloated (see #5), drink some water and stop complaining, because, not only does water help you hydrate, it is basically the sole solution to curing a hangover and getting your body back on track. That and brunch, because brunch is always a solution.

2. Get some sleep

Seriously, this one is important because I know you all didn’t get your daily eight hours of sleep this weekend. And if you did, it’s probably because you woke up at 1 pm, ready to tend to your hangover for eight hours while watching Netflix and eating greasy food.

If you don’t have time to sleep a full eight hours, there’s this thing called a nap that most people can fit in at certain points during their day, and it can truly save your life. Sleep deprivation often leads to headaches, grouchiness, and increased food intake, so you essentially end up moody, disoriented, and fat, and nobody wants to have to deal with that.

3. Sweat it out

Stop telling yourself that the winter body is a thing because it’s really not. It’s honestly just an excuse to stop going to the gym when it’s cold. I know that this realization is not enough to get you all to hit the gym (aka me), but seriously you spent about 75% of your weekend ingesting candy, alcohol, and foods that are probably made up of high fructose corn syrup and a giant list of ingredients you can’t pronounce, so hitting the gym really isn’t a bad idea. You’ll increase your endorphins and stop feeling like trash for more than a couple of hours.

4. The past is the past

I know you all probably have some (horror) stories from this weekend. Whether that’s making an idiot out of yourself, or talking to that one guy your friends warned you not to talk to before your 3^rd drink. I know you probably feel terrible, but, honestly, it is Halloween and it’s basically ratchet every year, so move on and live your life.

It’s not worth stressing over, especially since 95% of the people you weren’t observing during Halloween probably had some shitty moments during their weekend as well.

5. Cut the dairy

Although dairy is relatively healthy and can provide calcium for those strong bones, it’s really not the thing to ingest after an unhealthy weekend. Not only will it make you bloated, it will probably lead to further deterioration of your complexion (dairy isn’t super great for your skin).

Instead, choose drinks that will give you the hydration that you need (aka water or some type of electrolyte drink). Put down the lattes, cappuccinos, and cereal, and eat some whole foods that will give you the nutrients and minerals that your body requires.
