Have Some Water

I know it tastes bad, just do it

You have heard it a million times before and here I am telling you again; water is so amazingly good for you! You probably heard that at some point when you were trying to get healthy. Started drinking a ton of water for a week, tops, and then forgot or lost interest. But be inspired again because water is magical and can help you out in so many different ways. You are human and you have a million problems in your life, so make your life a little easier by drinking lots of water. Drinking enough water will solve so many of your problems for you! Imagine these situations:

You wake up a couple days before a huge presentation/ date/ what have you. Your face is a mess because that is how your life is going right now. Calm down. Drink some water and clean out your system! Your skin will thank you and so will the rest of your body!

You go through your day feeling a little down. Your throat might be dry, you might be exhausted (which is strange, because for once you shut off Netflix and got a healthy eight hours), or you might have a headache that just won't go away. Wow, surprise, drink some water. Your body needs it and it will tell you as many times as it needs to until you get the message.

You're trying to lose weight? Drinking water will help with that, too. A lot of the time, you think you're hungry but you're actually thirsty. Have a glass of water and you'll be sure to over-eat less often.

Maybe your New Year's resolution was to be a healthier person. Well, I don't think I even have to tell you at this point, but drink water. Your body is 60 percent water, so it is a little important.

If these reasons aren't enough, it is possible to die from dehydration. Take advantage of the fact that the water you have is safe for you to drink and stop complaining that it tastes bad or doesn't taste like anything at all. If the taste really bothers you that much, I suggest mixing a bit of lemon juice in it. It makes it far more enjoyable to down those eight cups a day. And please don't buy plastic water bottles from the vending machines; those are wasteful. If, while reading this article, you tried to remember the last time you drank enough water, then it was too long ago. Go drink some water!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
