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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
