There are always the times when you are starving but you want to stay on your health kick, so it becomes a struggle to find the right type of food. It is hard to find those types of food at college that are going to satisfy your hunger and keep you on the right track of eating healthy.

1. Kiwi

It is overall a very pretty fruit, and it is full of protein and juices to quench your hunger for a healthy snack. It is an easy item to find at a dining hall too.

2. Smoothies

Smoothies are a great refreshing treat to have as a meal or a heavy snack after a tough workout. Adding any type of fruits or veggies to a smoothie will taste great with some almond milk and almond butter!

3. Dark chocolate

I definitely have a sweet tooth, and dark chocolate is my absolute favorite. Eating some semisweet chocolate will not only make you feel good, but it lowers blood pressure and the risk of heart disease.

4. Avocado

Avocado toast is my new obsession, and it is the best breakfast to pair with either a smoothie or a bowl of fruit. Unlike most fruits, it is full of healthy fats instead of carbs, and they are also just delicious and can be added to any meal for a richer taste.

5. Eggs

Eggs are another food I love to pair with my avocado toast. Fried or scrambled, eggs are delicious. They are a healthy and filling option for breakfast or lunch!

6. Almonds

Almonds are an easy snack to carry around and they are surprisingly very filling for how small they are. Almond butter is also a great substitute for peanut butter.

7. Kale

Kale is my absolute favorite, and people who don't like it just haven't had it prepared the right way. It is delicious in salads or to put on your sandwiches. It is full of fiber and a number of nutrients.

8. Oranges

Oranges are a great snack that is high in fiber and antioxidants. And if you played soccer when you were younger, it will bring back memories of always having orange slices after a game.

9. Cucumbers

Cucumbers are a great source of nutrients, and they are a great ingredient to put on a sandwich or salad. They can also be eaten plain for a snack with hummus or just some salt and pepper.

10. Quinoa

Another favorite dish that I love to eat when I am home. Quinoa is high in nutrients like fiber and magnesium. It is also an excellent source of plant-based protein. It is a great pairing with chicken and a kale salad!

Filling yourself up with healthy and feel-good foods will make you feel better inside and out. It may be easier to just grab some chips when you want a little snack, but putting in the extra effort to pick out veggies or fruits instead will make you feel better in the long run.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
