Fun Ways To Lose Weight

College kids and dieting are the funniest things I have ever seen. Some kids only eat salads and fruit a which is the worst idea possible. Your body needs a consistent intake of protein if this diet is going to work!

As a college student you have many different ways you can lose weight. The one that I use is portion control. Portion control is just the way it sounds, you can still eat fun foods like subs and whatever, but you need to limit those foods. If your family gets pizza only have one maybe two pieces, do not go off and have three or four. Cutting down the sizes from what you were eating originally immediately cuts back calorie intake and if you can manage to stay hydrated and eat the good foods along with this plan you will lose plenty enough to stay happy! I am using this way and I have lost 23 pounds in one month. Now that I am starting to get smaller, I need to start adding in more exercise because all the weight from just the foods are gone.

The second strategy you can use is eat seven meals a day. This is one that a lot of athletes use because you continuously fuel your body. But on this one you need to lean towards the healthier side of eating. You have to eat very small and keep hydrated. Breakfast you might have egg whites with a fruit, then 10:30 you have more fruit and some water, Lunch something small with water, depending on the time you eat lunch you snack once or twice again before dinner. You need to have breakfast in both ideas because that is what wakes up your metabolism and gets it going in the morning. I personally use GNC metabolism and energy pills every time I wake up it significantly improves it if you do it on a daily basis.

These are all just ideas no one has to do any of them. I know I am not the most in shape kid but, I do know how to lose the weight. I have done many diets and all have turned out well. I like the first one because I have more freedom on food selection but, if I choose to use it I need to step up my physical activity level which is one something i know I need to do anyway. Dieting is easy as long as you have fun with it and keep thinking about the end result. Do not get down on yourself or freak out if you do not see results right away. That is okay it takes time to lose the weight! But what you do need to do is have support from friends and family. My entire family have been great supporters and that is why it makes it so easy for me. Just be happy with yourself and think of it as you can only improve.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
