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.

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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.

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!
