I'm telling you from experience that these three simple tips will do the trick and have you bounce back ready for the long week of studying for the long tests and endless homework that everyone enjoys...obviously.

1. Sweat it out

Small little fact: sweating does not rid your body of toxins. It's just a normal body function that helps cool your body temperature.

Go hit the gym- working out is very beneficial for helping your body to increase the breakdown and help release the toxins stored in your fat tissues.

Sauna- yes, when you're in a sauna, all you do is sit and sweat. But sweating does, in small but increasing amounts, help you get rid of xenobiotic- foreign compounds like plastics. It can also help eliminate hormones that are stored in your fat cells. (I recommend an infrared sauna.)

2. Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate

Always make sure you drink fluids after a good workout or being in a hot sauna because the sweat pulls out the electrolytes and some of the minerals out of your body, so drinking plenty of fluids helps add back what you lost.

Lemon water- it's refreshing, it helps boost your metabolism, and if you drink hot lemon water, that helps with digestion.

Green tea- has antioxidants that help boost your immune system, and it flushes out your liver

3. Quick detoxing diet

The ultimate key to being healthy and losing weight is always what you eat.

Eat raw- raw veggies and fruits, fats including avocados, almonds, pecans, cashews, walnuts, coconut, even some seafood!

Cut down- on sugars, alcohol, sodas, chips, dairy products, and anything that makes your body bloat

There are lots of benefits of detoxing: increased energy, clearer skin, lower inflammation, better digestion, sleep better, and a clear mind= a happy mind.

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.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. 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?
