19 Reasons Why Being Healthy Is Difficult In The Winter

Fall is my favorite season, but I must admit there is something so magical about winter time. Maybe it is all the holidays that fall between November and February, or knowing you will have a break off from school for a short while, but the one thing you can always count on is some amazing food. I honestly think someone can be addicted to food because there are way too many times where no matter how full I am, whatever I am eating tastes too good to put down. Unfortunately, this it what leads to millions of people making their “new years’ resolution” revolve around losing weight and becoming healthy. It’s all foods fault.

Winter time ultimately means food. In the winter you have..


1. Bonfires, which are not the same without s’mores!

2. Hot cocoa that now comes in so many flavors- peppermint, dark chocolate, ones with tiny marshmallows etc.

3. Eggnog.

4. Spiked eggnog (even more calories)!

5. So many pies of all types: pumpkin, pecan, apple, chocolate and more.

6. Grandma will be very upset if you don’t eat her meals.

7. All the holidays are centered around food.

8. Hanukkah, which is eight days… eight days full of brisket and latkes

9. Candy canes are everywhere and so easy to eat.

10. As a chef you must taste all the food you prepare.

11. Finals will make you stress eat anything in sight.

12. Family vacations where you stuff yourself as well, especially on a cruise. Hello buffet!

13. Left overs… for days.

14. Football season tailgates and surrounded by BBQ and pizza.

15. A weird craving for cold items like ice cream and milkshakes.

16. To stay warmer you eat more to have more body fluff.

17. All the shopping you do at the mall needs some food fuel.

18. Starbucks has such cute cups that you don’t even care if you aren't thirsty.

19. You make several trips home to a fridge full of food cooked by mom, the best!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
