I have never been an avid pop drinker, but there are many people in my life who are. It is a widely known fact that pop/soda is not beneficial to our health. However, people are still drinking it. Put the pop down and start expanding your horizons when it comes to what you want to drink. There are so many healthy drink options out there, and they taste good too!

1. Kombucha

Not everyone likes it, but everyone should at least give it a chance. It definitely has an acquired taste. The benefits that Kombucha offers are unreal. Show your gut some respect and grab yourself one of those infamous glass cough medicine bottle look-a-likes, Kombucha!

2. Tea

Whether it be green, black or some other kind, you can never go wrong with tea. Although brewing your own tea with your Keurig would be the best option when it comes to being healthy, grabbing a tea in between classes from the market will always be better than grabbing a pop.

3. Naked or Bolthouse

Although these drinks are jam packed with sugar, they are a great way to reach your daily fruit goals. I would advise you to always pair your smoothie drink with a lot of water. They are also filling!

4. Mamma Chia


Similar to Kombucha, these drinks definitely are something to get used to. It's not so much the flavor of the drink, but the texture. However, chia seeds are packed with fiber and omega-3s!

5. Hint

Not really a fan of drinking water? Hint water can help! Hint is fruit-infused water, AKA water with flavor. Although Hint may taste great, there are 0 calories and 0 sweeteners because, well, it is just water!


There are way more healthy drink options out there, but these are just a few of my favorites! I would recommend trying these drinks if you are a compulsive pop drinker and are trying to change your ways! Start new habits in this new year.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
