How To Be Less Fat In College

Some helpful tips I picked up by watching afternoon t.v. and infomercials

It seems staying in shape as a college student is becoming increasingly difficult. We have zero time, unlimited amounts of stress, and a fast food restaurant on every corner. It's extremely easy to just binge eat taco bell at 3 a.m. while you're supposed to be studying for your exam the next day. Fortunately, my t.v. was stuck on Dr. Oz earlier this week, so now I am a nutrition and health expert.

1. Exercise, as seen on T.V. The first thing you're going to want to do is invest in one of those super gimmicky exercise programs you see on infomercials. They all claim that they burn like a million calories in under 20 minutes so I guess it doesn't really matter which one you buy. Personally, I've heard good things about the Ab Destroyer 5000 and the SuperTrainerMaxxxPro Elite. Both are easily installed and only cost 5 simple payments of $29.99 and one really complicated payment of $53.27!

2. Fish Oil. The next thing you should do is buy fish oil. I have no idea why but Dr. Oz had a big diagram and it looked really scientific and I believe everything I see on t.v. I'm not even sure what to do with it, to be honest. Rub it on your skin maybe?

3. Eat Nothing But Celery And Water. See, we never have time to work out, and when we do have time to work out, it's the last thing we actually want to do. But you don't have to worry about burning calories, if you don't consume any calories in the first place. Plus, water is free and celery is cheap.

4. Buy Expensive Workout Clothes And Hang Out At The Gym A Lot. I actually came up with this myself. See, every time I go to the gym there's always a lot of people just sitting around in their fancy Nike clothes and Beats ear buds. I never see them do anything other than take up the squat racks and take selfies in the mirrors, but almost all of them are really muscular so clearly they're doing something right.

5. Turn Everything Into Juice. Apparently everything is healthy if you just put it in a blender and turn it into a smoothie. Fruit, Kale, fancy berries from the Amazon, peanut butter, eggs, and just about anything you can get your hands on. If it's been juiced, it's good for you. Fact.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

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.
