Healthy Eating Made Easy!

Opt out of snacking on pizza and candy when you’re craving something satisfying during a late-night study sesh and try one of these ready- to- eat snacks!

1. Fruit

Fruits are simple and easy when it comes to snacking; they have a lot of sugar to satisfy a craving and enough fiber to keep you full. Bonus- buy fruit to keep in your freezer, it’s great for snacking on when you’re craving something cold and sweet (like ice cream!). I keep a Nutribullet in my room or when I have extra time to make myself a smoothie or natural fruit-based “ice cream”.

2. Bars

If you’re looking for something sweet and protein rich go for a Quest bar! They average about 180 calories each with 20g or protein and barely any sugar! However, if you are going for something unprocessed I suggest trying a Larabar, they are made with fewer than 5 ingredients and curb any late-night cravings!

3. Oatmeal

The best thing I have ever done for myself was to buy a giant bag 2 pound of rolled oats to bring with me to college (okay maybe that’s not my greatest idea but it is definitely up there). Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks- oatmeal is great any time of day. It is versatile enough to be sweet or savory. Throw in some chia seeds, nuts or fruits and you’re good-to-go.

4. Air-Popped Popcorn

Possibly my favorite snack is popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon- if you are more into spicy try it with some cayenne and fresh squeezed lime.

5. Carrots and Baby Peppers

Dip these in Hummus or eat them on their own and you are good to go!

Enjoy!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
