Finals: What should I eat ?

It’s finals time. My work out level is at an all time low (I don’t even walk to class anymore) and my appetite is at an all time high. Now I have to find a way to stop that waistline from reaching at all time high too. And don’t I have a solution!

1) Eat Five Times A Day– Rather than having 3 massive meals and still munching on something in between because you have nothing else to do, how about you keep munching a little something the entire day. Snack on fruits, bread, strawberry yogurt to dark chocolate.

2) Trade Sweet treats for fruits – I have a sudden sweet tooth during exams. I want tubs of ice creams, cakes, and pies. BUT NO. I shall buy sweet seedless grapes, bananas, apples and pears instead. They can be just as sweet as cake and much much healthier.

3) Trade Candy For Dark Chocolate– Dark chocolate is just yum. and the best part is even dairy intolerant people can have them. And its healthy and curbs hunger. So why not ?

4) Try Smoothies – Meet 0% fat Greek yogurt, milk, banana, and frozen strawberries. They can be your best friends if you let them. Put them into a blender and tada ! You have yourself a mini, super nutritious, drink and snack. If you’re someone that needs to sip on something while studying then this the best that you can get. And the best part is the more you have of it, the better. You can go ahead and be adventurous by switching the strawberries for peaches or peanut butter too!

5) Nuts And Crackers To The Rescue! – I love munching on stuff when I’m studying. It provides that necessary distraction that allows me to study better. I’ll explain that logic in another blog post maybe. But if you like to munch too and Doritos are your usual go to’s, how about you try buying wholewheat crackers instead. Better yet, go buy nuts. They are expensive, but oh so healthy! (you could maybe trade peanuts for peanut butter if you’re as cheap as I am)

Side note – I’m going to get so many practice-what-you-preach looks from all the people who know my actual eating habits now..

The Power of A Secret Crush

Its barely been a week and I’ve been bombarded with assignments, pre-readings,essays and OMG ! It is very stressful. Especially if you consider the fact that I spent the last 4 months of summer doing absolutely NOTHING at all.

Ugh ! Way too much stress. Now,you are sitting in your most boring class and you wonder how you are going to spend the next one hour. THEN that cute guy walks into your class. The guy you met at the dining hall/ danced with at the frat/ caught staring at you at IKBLC ,whatever fits your scene. So he walks in and suddenly you are smiling. He gets the seat right next to yours and now you wish this class would never ever get over.

Yup, that’s the power of a “lovvveeee” ( read in sing song fashion ). It turns the world over for that one moment and you are happy again. The sun is shining, its all flowery and fun now ! You finally have something to look forward to! Your assignments look less vicious, your essays look like a way to let out your “love” initiated creativity and you start looking forward to even your most boring class.

Its an amazing, full proof remedy to your first year worries. Go outside,meet some people, and if he/she is worth it, go ahead and have crush on him/her. BUT there is a catch to it. Your crush has to a secret. It has to be your own little secret that no one knows anything about. Its your own key to a happy first year, why would you want to share it ? Well, you could actually tell everyone about it but then again, ” Whats life without quirks ?” ( plus things might get complicated and I have math problems designated to that adjective already ). Try it out. It works.True story !
