The Keto diet is one that has been slowly creeping up over the past few years. In short, the Keto diet involves cutting out carbs, bumping up healthy fats, and eating moderate protein. A Keto meal would not include rice/pasta/other foods heavy in carbs but would have meat, fish, and non-starchy vegetables. The Keto diet also puts a limit on the amount of sugar, meaning dieters can't have too much fruit or desserts.

Right now, it's hard to follow the Keto diet. Shops are labeling foods that are gluten-free, vegan, and organic, but they are only now starting to label those that are Keto friendly.

The Keto diet has a ton of health benefits. Since the diet cuts out carbs, the body needs to use other resources for energy, so it will burn fat - this phase is called Ketosis.

The diet is new, but more and more people are switching to the Keto diet and realizing amazing weight losses. The Keto diet is popularly used in combination with intermittent fasting for weight loss using a sustainable lifestyle.

Part of the reason the Keto diet will blow up in the foreseeable future is the imminent end of Veganism's popularity. Veganism had a long run, but only blew up a few years ago, and isn't necessarily more than a fad diet.

Particularly, the greater development of lab-grown meat may eventually displace Vegans who are Vegan to avoid hurting animals. Only a few years ago, a lab-grown patty was thousands of dollars. Now, it is under $20 and getting lower in cost every day.

Once lab-grown meat is commercially available, it could remove the need for huge slaughterhouses, killing animals, and use of thousands of acres of land. As no animals die for lab-grown meat, Veganism would greatly fall in popularity. People would begin looking at alternative diets, which has Keto at its forefront.

The past and present may be about Veganism and healthy, meat-less eating, but I see the future to be about Keto, fat-burning with meat and grit required.

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.

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.
