It may be hard going back to college and trying to continue that resolution to stay healthy, but by following a few tips, your healthy lifestyle can prosper.

Exercise with Friends

Going to work out with some company can turn out very productive. Your friends can encourage you to do better, and going to the gym could seem less intimidating and much more fun. Trading exercises, attending classes, or even playing intramurals are great, healthy ways to readjust to being back at college during the new year.

Eat Well

First and foremost, have a well-balanced diet. It's hard not falling back into the habits that come along with attending college. Dieting can be difficult when you are surrounded by fast food almost everywhere you go, but with the right mindset and proper research, eating healthy can become easier. Try eating more vegetables and fruits, and don't try to portion control every meal you have. It's okay to slip up every now and then. Researching what food is good for your body type and being knowledgeable about what you eat is very important to staying well.

Sleep More

Sleeping is credited towards being one of the major factors in staying healthy. Sleeping allows us to restore ourselves from our daily lives. It helps reduce stress, improve your memories, and even help your body heal itself. More sleep is what keeps our body functioning properly.

Plan Things Out

Have a schedule to help balance out your life. By doing this, you can get organized and know what is needed to get done at a specific time. You can schedule when you work out when you have classes, and even when you go out with friends. This can help reduce stress and make you happier overall, as well as, produce a healthier and organized lifestyle.

Avoid Caffeine

It's hard being in college and not drinking coffee or soda. However, caffeine actually causes much more than a boost in activity. It causes irritability, interferes with sleep, and even causes difficulty with concentration. So by avoiding caffeine, one can become a well off person.

Stay Hydrated

Drinking more water can help out with your body's way of coping with all the activities that you do. Water boosts health and metabolism while helping your bodily organs function properly. Water hydrates you, reduce headaches, and keeps you glowing well.

Have Fun

Going out with friends is a good way to de-stress and enjoy your life. It increases endorphins that help you stay happy and feel good about yourself. Having fun and enjoying yourself is one of the primary focuses of a healthy mind to the healthy body people seek.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
