Healthy Tips For College Students

Use that meal plan wisely...

Healthy Tips For College Students
Focus for Health

As we all can recall from our freshman year, the dining hall was the place to be. Whether it was Kennedy Commons (or as I liked to call it, K Com) marketplace, or fresh express, if you had a meal plan, it was game over. All in all, freshman 15 was a real thing. And a real wake up call for everyone. Being a college student is great. Eating whatever you want, whenever you want is also great - but in the end, it'll cost you and your health. So, here are some health tips to guide you throughout college!

Make a Workout Schedule

Exercising as well as having a well-balanced diet is the best way to go. So, figure out a specific time and day to workout and try to adhere to that during each semester!

Choose Healthy Snacks

It's easy to grab a bag of chips when your starving during class, but packing a few nutrition-packed granola bars (read those labels!), fruit, or celery and peanut butter will curb that hunger right away! And it won't leave you feeling more tired and hungry. Win- win right?

Prepare More Home-Cooked Meals

Walking over to Chipotle or Blaze Pizza is easy to do if you live right near it (like me), so making meals once in a while can help save you money and extra calories! So, instead of going to Chipotle every other day for dinner (I might have done that once...), make your own burritos! It doesn't take too long and you can put as much guac as you want! (Because isn't that all we really want in life anyways?)

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
