Besides delicious taste of fruit infused water and the artsy pictures that you can post of it on social media, putting fruit in your water can have a lot of health benefits. By putting certain fruits in your water, you can lower your risk of diabetes, obesity, the common cold, the flu and heart disease. Adding fruit to your water can help also help your digestive system, strengthen your immune system and get rid of toxins. Fruit water can also decrease your risk of developing cancer.

Fruit infused water can also help maintain your youth. Rather than spending money on anti-aging creams, putting fruit in your water can slow down the aging process. Because fruit contains powerful antioxidants and increases collagen production, it allows you to look and feel younger, leaving your skin silky smooth.

Fruit water can also increase your metabolism and help you maintain a healthy body weight; it doesn’t contain the calories of soft drinks, but it is more fulfilling than plain water. Because there are so many vitamins in fruit, putting fruit in your water can leave you feeling more energetic. Basically, it’s a healthy drink that can help satisfy your sweet tooth. Of course, different types of fruit have different health benefits.

Putting lemon in your water helps aid digestion and freshen your breath. It also helps detox your liver.

2. Grape

Grapes are notorious for containing cancer fighting compounds.

3. Orange

Oranges help with healthy blood circulation. They are also a valuable source at vitamin C and reduce the risk of stroke.

4. Apple

Apples help maintain bone and tissue health. They are high in iron and low in calories, which is always a plus.

5. Kiwi

Because kiwis contain an enzyme called actinidain, they are great for your skin.

6. Grapefruit

Grapefruit is both great tasting and great at flushing toxins out of your body.

7. Cucumber

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.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
