Tips For a Healthier 2020

The first month of 2020 is coming to a close soon, but the year has only begun. This year, I've started to push myself into having a healthier mindset and wanting to achieve the body goals I've always wanted. These small, but effective, tips helped me achieve fast results and now you can too! I am no health nutrition, but these are tips I've learned from experience and also from health instructors on YouTube.

Warm Water Every Morning

Water is an every day essential for us, but warm water hits different. Every morning, drink a glass of warm water before you eat anything. This will actually help your body rid of toxins and clear your body. You'll also be accelerating the salts in your body which helps lower blood pressure and prevents hypertension. Not to mention, it also helps boost your metabolism! Of course, getting your daily water intake is important as well, so this can be the first step to getting your daily intake.

Stomach Vacuums

Stomach vacuums are a form of exercise that helps with endurance training and light strength training. This exercise has become a popular activity amongst many fitness trainers, especially on YouTube, as it helps with tightening the abs and achieving a smaller waist. To do this exercise, you contract muscles, specifically the transverse abdominal muscle. You start by inhaling as much as you can and then exhaling as much as you can. Once you've exhaled your body should be tight. You're basically sucking in your stomach as much as you can and then continuing to inhale and exhale normally. There are many different ways to do this, such as doing this for 45 seconds a day or even doing it on specific days for 60 seconds.

Homemade Lip Scrub

If you're lips have been chapped lately and are starting to peel, try making a home made lip scrub! You most likely have these ingredients as home, because you'll only need honey and sugar. These are natural products too, so you don't have to worry about irritation or what chemicals will accidentally go into your mouth. You'll just need a bowl and mix a tiny amount of honey and sugar together until it is thoroughly combined. Then apply the scrub onto your lips gently. The sugar should act as the exfoliator. Because this will exfoliate your lips, don't rub too hard or you could damage your lips. Leave the scrub on for a few minutes, then rinse! You could also do this with using a toothbrush and brushing the scrub on your lips. Your lips will feel soft and look smooth with any lipstick!

Doing these will have drastically amazing results in a short amount of time. Good luck!

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.
