I see so many at the grocery store that I work at constantly buying food that has so much sugar and salt and they do not buy as much healthy food as they should. The junk food and high-calorie foods are always high sellers and it can lead to many people having health problems. Your health is really important and is vital to living a long life and being able to participate in many activities.

Everyone wants to be able to live their lives to the fullest and have fun with their family, friends, and kids as long as they can and people have so many goals in their lives. The one problem that a person could run into is their health because people like to have inconsistent sleep and eating schedules while eating poorly. Being physically unhealthy can lead to being mentally unhealthy and vice versa. The important part of being healthy is to be able to live longer and achieve your dreams, but you cannot do that if you get too unhealthy to take care of yourself.

Soda is extremely bad and something I have had my troubles giving it but I almost never have one due to the high amount of sugar and calories that soda possesses. I find that drinking water, milk, and Gatorade is much better for you. There are so many health problems that soda and sugar can cause. Candy is also something I see many people struggling to Avoid buying and I feel the number of issues it can cause isn't worth the delicious taste.

People eat fast food a lot and that can be very unhealthy if you do it a lot, so it is best to try to eat out as little as you can and try to get the healthiest item on the menu. You can easily get soda or milkshakes when you eat away from home, but most don't realize you can always order water with any meal.

working out is another task most people struggle with in being healthy. People become embarrassed about how big or small they may be or how in shape they are sop they avoid going to the gym. The gym can help you physically and mentally and can help boost your confidence in yourself and add years to your life for being healthy and avoiding many health issues.

There are many tasty snacks and cereals they are not loaded with sugar and calories and people can eat plenty of great food that gives them, proteins and vitamins. They sometimes cost extra but will be better for you in the long run. It is also important to make sure you save money for so many medical bills for being unhealthy and being able to enjoy your life and be capable of doing anything you want. So I feel more people need to be healthy and work hard to have a great successful life by making sure they are happy and healthy physically and mentally.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
