Recently I have been trying to improve my lifestyle and way of living. Yes, I am trying to cut sweets out, but do you realize how hard that is? You can’t turn down every piece of chocolate you’re offered. Anyway, since I am not doing too swell with cutting out sugar for a healthier lifestyle, I am trying a few other paths.

One of them includes earlier to bed and earlier to rise. Recently I have started my day with either “Rise and Shine” yoga at the rec or an early workout before morning classes. Something to wake me up and start my day in a positive way.

Along with doing more “rise and shine”, I am trying to fuel my body right from the get-go and eat something like peanut butter toast or oatmeal with fruit. In a small way, it truly does change how I function that day.

These couple things sound like the same basic blogger or “insta-famous” post but they really do back up the saying of “the early bird gets the worm.”

I grew up in a family that loves rising when the sun does and just watching the sky change colors as the time rolls by. A warm cup of coffee and the reminder that we are one small piece to this great big puzzle can change the way you look at your daily agenda and future plans.

The early bird is the first to see the world’s beauty for the day. It is the first to indulge in the goods on this earth. It is the first to sing a morning song. So why not strive for that kind of joy and accomplishment in life?

The early bird gets the worm, will 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.

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.

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.
