A new year, a new you.

Or is that just January 1st?

Do you really think you can only start over and set goals at the beginning of the year? Of course not.

It seems like the beginning of the year, beginning of the month, and Mondays are the easiest times to start over.

The beginning of a new school year is a great time to start over, especially when it comes to health and fitness. Here’s a few reasons why;

Stress Relief

When you exercise, you produce feel-good neurotransmitters, called endorphins.

…oooorrrr their professors??

Overall Health & Happiness

When you exercise and eat right, your health is bound to take a turn in the right direction.

Happiness will skyrocket. When you feel good about yourself, you FLAUNT it. Confidence is the sexiest thing anyone can wear.

GETS YOUR NOSE OUT OF THE BOOKS

All in all, it is good to get a good sweat on when you’re busy studying for a quiz, exam, or some other annoying college thing. Think of it as a brain break. Once you’re done, you’ll feel refreshed and ready to learn some more!

Most Important

Get others involved with you. Health is something EVERYONE depends on forever. Get a friend or two to go with you. Having others to exercise and eat healthy with will keep you accountable. Accountability is the key to success.

A Few Things to Remember

No one ever regrets a workout.

The only bad workout is one you didn’t do.

A 1-hour workout is only 4% of your day.

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO!!!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
