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).

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
