It's no secret that being a college student has its various stressors, everything from maintaining that bomb GPA to making sure you have stellar weekend plans. Keeping a healthy weight does not need to be one of those stressors. These snacks are not only tasty, but healthy, too!

1. Yogurt

It's yummy, it comes in many flavors, and it contains probiotics, which are great for your digestive health.

2. Bananas

Full of potassium; it's great for your heart. Plus, it gives you energy!

3. Celery and peanut butter

It's a way to make a not-so-appetizing snack a little more tasty.

4. Pretzels

They're not the best of snack choices, but they certainly taste good!

5. Scrambled eggs

One of the healthiest foods on the planet, and super easy to make! (Even if you're as cooking-challenged as me!)

6. String Cheese

Giphy

Just delicious.

7. Applesauce

As long as it's not loaded up with sugar, it's a pretty good (and simple) snack.

8. Avocado toast

Avocados have at least 20 vitamins and minerals in every serving, and smearing them on toast is absolutely delicious! Take it from me.

9. Trail Mix

Giphy

Many people have difficulty fitting nuts into their diet, and this is an easy way to get those nutrients. Plus, you can always slip a few M&M's in there as well!

10. Apple slices and peanut butter

Giphy

The perfect pair. Enough said.

The list goes on and on. Just look at it this way: if you have the option between a snack like one listed above and an unhealthy one (that, not to mention, isn't going to give you the energy you need), choose the healthy one more often than the latter. I swear, you won't regret it, and your body will thank you.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. 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.
