I recently got a Fitbit. I got it because I wanted to have a healthier lifestyle. I am already in love with mine and it has amazing features. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Sleep tracker

This is my favorite feature. You can wear your Fit bit to sleep and it tracks your movement. It tells you how many times you were restless and awake, and even tells you down to the exact minutes. I knew I would wake up a lot at night, and this feature helps me track it. It's definitely interesting to see your sleep patterns!

2. Vibrates for texts and calls

If you don't want this you don't have to use it. It's an option that you can switch on and off. I personally think it's useful. When I get a text or a call, my Fitbit vibrates on my wrist. I find this particularly useful when I am in class or doing homework because I will only check my phone when I feel the vibrate. I don't find the need to keep checking my phone to see if someone has texted me back.

3. Reminds you to move

This, like the vibrate for texts and calls, is a feature you can switch on and off. You can customize how many times you want it to remind you a day. For me, I have it set if I haven't done 250 steps an hour, it will vibrate before the next hour.

4. Water/food intake

There's a Fitbit app, which is how you sync your wristband and data, which is free. On the app, there are options to add the amount of water you drink daily as well as food. For food, you can search food types and it will tell you the calories, or you can scan your food box with the barcode scanner.

I love the Fitbit, it has helped me become healthier and more aware of my health. The app is wonderful and can house all your information in one app, instead of one for steps, another one for food intake, etc.

I have the style called: Flex 2. They have several design options, with and without a screen and even multiple colors!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
