The Struggle Of Trying To Eat Healthy

If eating healthier was one of your resolutions this year, you are not alone! There are a lot of people trying to get rid of unhealthy eating habits and it is one of the hardest things to do. It becomes a challenge to intrigue taste buds accustomed to tons of sugar and fats, to enjoy nutrient-worthy meals. It is even more of a challenge to break the sacred bond between you and the delicious taste of junk food. Nonetheless, eating healthy is worth the challenge, but it is not easy; and here are some moments and thoughts you might run into when trying to eat healthier:

For one, you determine the last time you had a good, balanced, nutritious meal.

Probably it's been a while, so you start to question whether we know anything at all about eating healthy.

You decide to start with the basics more fruit and veggies less junk food. It goes all right...

...And whether you like it or not, you keep going...

...for a week or so until you crave something more. There are advertisements of junk food everywhere and it seems like the invitations to eat out become more frequent when you are trying to develop a healthy lifestyle.

You begin to despise your meals.


You look at junk food like...


So you decide a small taste won't hurt...

And give yourself "cheat days."

Those end up looking like this.


You realize that maybe binge-eating on "cheat day" wasn't the right choice.


So you decide:

...but the breakup doesn't last long.

So, you sit and have a whole guilt-ridden reflection and decide to start again. You know there is a better way and it's going to take more commitment this time. You won't give up...

...because you know that in the end, it will be worth it!

So go out and try to be healthy, because no matter the result, you are still trying to make a difference in your eating habits, and that can be the start of accomplishing your new year's resolution.

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.
