I know from firsthand experience that mornings can be one of the toughest times of the day! While trying to get ourselves ready for whatever engagement it is we have to run off to, it's easy to fall short in the food department. Do not limit yourself when it comes to breakfast! Doing so is an awful habit to develop!

The well-known saying "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" honestly could not be more true! Breakfast, our first meal of the day, sets the tone for the ENTIRE day. If you shortchange yourself during this meal, you'll find that you have a serious lack in energy and you may even have trouble keeping your eyes open!

If you are one of the few that don't fit into that category and are capable of physically stay awake without a meal to get you going, know that you're still missing out. NO, I can't just leave you to be in your ignorant peace because you are practicing unhealthy habits!

With the absence of hearty breakfast, there is definitely a lack of motivation to get work done. You might have been able to get yourself to school or work but your focus will be off and you will not be your best you...and what good does that bring anyone?

If you feel like you fail to attain a balanced breakfast before rushing off into your busy day, it is NOT too late! Together we can break this recalcitrant pattern and get you on track to eat a balanced breakfast everyday before you conquer on the world!

Below I have listed ___ healthy breakfast options. Some of them require a bit of preparation and should be made during the night before. These options can then be refrigerated for a quick grab & go 1st meal of the day!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
