Is it possible to be healthy without exercising 24/7 and only eating vegetables? The answer to is, yes! You won't be the perfect image of health, but you'll be somewhat better, and that's all I can hope you'll gain from this article. Without becoming like those health gurus on Instagram that like to show off, here are seven simple ways to improve your life!

1. Drink More Water

I think it would be safe to say that not everyone drinks the recommended amount of water, because I know that I don't at all. Water is super duper important, guys. It can help with skin hydration, nutrient absorption, detoxication, and a billion more things. The list could go on forever, so drink a bunch of water! Yum!

2. Cut Out Soda

Soda is terrible for us and our bodies, and this probably does not come as a shock to you guys. Soda, pop, coke, yes, all of the above is the literal worst. So do yourself a favor and CUT! IT! OUT! Or at least reduce your intake, that would good too.

3. Meditate

Contrary to popular belief, meditation is not reserved to only those who are the stereotypical hippies with tie-dye t-shirts. It would actually benefit more those who are more high strung and stressed, those who are the opposite of hippies. So, spend 30 or so minutes of your day sitting and just breathing. Take this time to collect your thoughts and clear your mind. Ohhhhmmmmmm.

4. Walk More

Walking is something that we do everyday and is actually exercising! Something that I like to do is to park my car further away in the parking lot, so I have to walk more. This gives me an extra 100+ steps without that much more effort. It's a win-win situation, y'all!

5. Snack Between Meals

Now, when I say "snack" I do not mean that bag of potato chips with 30+ grams of sodium, sadly. I mean those fruit and vegetables that we love to hate. Those things are healthy, so let's eat them! Yay!

6. Eat Breakfast

"BREAKFAST IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MEAL OF THE DAY!" Yes, thank you to every adult ever who told me that while growing up. This is true, though. A simple meal in the morning can get your metabolism going, make you more awake, and make your day more productive. So, let's all do it!

7. Laugh More

This is the easiest one on this list, right? Laughing is fun and also healthy for you. So, surround yourself with friends who make you laugh until your sides hurt and you need to pee! I can do that and so can you, so get going!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
