Why Being Healthy is so Hard, and Why it Sucks so Much

Being Healthy Sucks
Huffington Post

We all have thought about trying to be healthy for our new years resolution. Or just to try to make a better us, to make yourself feel better about whatever is happening in our lives at that time. But let me tell you why being healthy sucks. It seems like a great idea at first, and talking about it seems like the best idea in the world. But it’s no fun. And it’s so time consuming!

The number one reason being healthy sucks is because of the food choices. Nothing healthy actually tastes good! Well, besides maybe certain fruits. Everything else either doesn’t have any flavoring, or the flavoring is too strong and you can barely eat it. Like salad. I’m not a rabbit! Why would I want to eat a salad voluntarily, I have better food choices than to eat something that doesn’t actually fill me up. And it tastes like grass, don’t ask how I know what grass tastes like…

Next reason being healthy sucks, is because exercising takes a lot of work. Running, lifting weights all of it. Running just takes all of the energy out of you, and for what? To get to one place faster than if you would walk? No thanks. And lifting weights is a great idea, and props to everyone who does it, but to me straining my muscles just doesn’t sound like a fun time.

I know I sound like the unhealthiest person in the world. I realize this, I do try to be healthy, it’s just no fun at all. I would rather eat all of the sugary things like brownies, and drink soda, and just sit around and watch movies. But not everyone can live in a fairytale…

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
