How To Stay Healthy This Winter
Greatist

There are many ways to stay healthy at college, home and especially locally. Just try these little things and they will help you this winter season.

Drink Water


Our body requires a certain amount of water each day to function. When we drink water, it helps us clear the toxins in our body that make us feel sick to help us feel better. Water also helps hydrate us as well, and it is important for us to drink around eight 8 ounce glasses a day.


Wash your hands


Washing your hands helps prevent getting a cold. Germs form on the hands; thus, it is very important that we wash our hands, especially before and after preparing food, handling raw meat, using the restroom, and coming in contact with others.


Eat Healthy


There are a variety of foods that can help you feel better when you are sick. Some of these foods are:

Dark Chocolate

-Loaded with antioxidant and zinc

Leafy Greens

- Helps prevent colds and flus

- The darker the greens... the higher the nutrients

Milk

- Vitamin D helps bolster our immune system

And many other foods that you eat daily help you feel better if you are feeling sick, and help you prevent getting sick.

Get plenty of Rest

When we sleep, it helps our body and our immune system rest. About the average human should sleep between 8-10 hours each night in order for a good night sleep.



Take Emergen-C or other Multivitamins

Taking Emergen-C or other multivitamins allow people to stay healthy. If you are feeling a cold or flu coming, then you can take an Emergen-C and this will allow you or others to hopefully prevent sickness.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
