Break free from the typical college student diet.

Snacks For The Health Conscious College Student
Your Healthy Journey

College students are notorious for two things: crazy sleep schedules and unhealthy diets. Even when you're trying to eat healthy, you can only do so much when your options are limited to what the cafeteria provides. Luckily, mini fridges are a thing and food can easily be stashed in dorms, whether you missed mealtime hours or just aren't feeling the dining center that day.

1. Overnight Oats

So easy, this practically makes itself. Just combine yogurt, milk, old fashioned oats, and anything else your heart desires (honey, cinnamon, fruit, etc.), mix it up and leave it in the fridge overnight.

2. Trail Mix

Not the one with the M&M's! You can find plenty of trail mixes that have a variety of nuts and dried fruits, or you can even go to the bulk section of your grocery store and make your own.

3. Greek Yogurt, Granola, and Fruit

Pretty self explanatory, just put everything in a bowl and go for it. Really good for when you're short on time and the combinations are endless.

4. Peanut Butter Banana Wrap

Cut up bananas, spread peanut butter on a (whole grain) tortilla, drizzle with honey, and roll it up! If you're feeling extra sweet, you can toss a handful of chocolate chips in as well.

5. Hummus and ________

Hummus goes well with just about anything - my favorite is carrots, but celery, pretzels, and pita chips are all delicious (and healthy) options.

6. Apples and Peanut Butter

This one is a childhood staple. If you're not feeling peanut butter, apples are also really good with cheeses like Babybel rounds.

7. Crackers and Laughing Cow Cheese

If I had to live off one snack, this would probably be it. There's so many flavors of Laughing Cow that can be combined with your favorite crackers (mine are pretzel thins).

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
