Wellness

The life I am leading at college is probably not the healthiest. I don’t make it to the gym everyday because of my schedule and since it’s getting colder, I don’t even want to be outside to run, especially due to the fact that the ninth floor of capstone has no hot water and the showers are always freezing, even if you take them at seven in the morning, or four in the afternoon. I probably only eat breakfast once or twice a week because I can’t get up early enough to do it, and I have a nasty habit of eating lunch and dinner so late, sometimes I just skip meals. I’ve been trying to eat healthier, aka not Gibbes amazing grilled cheese everyday, but it’s more difficult at college because there’s no one to tell you no. Also, I get a lot of care packages filled with goodies and snacks, and my room is like a grocery store with all of the food I have in it. It is actually ridiculous. I also can’t seem to get to sleep very early ever because I want to spend all the time that I’m not in class or doing the obscene amount of homework that I do have, with my friends and my boyfriend. There’s no way I could ever get the recommended nine hours a night. Despite all of this, I do have an insanely healthy immune system. I don’t think I can even tell you the last time I was sick. I think it’s probably due to the fact that orange juice (Florida’s Natural, no pulp, extra calcium) is my favorite thing to drink. I’m also not too worried about my weight. But next semester I am taking a class less, so I actually have time to go to the gym, and so I’m not so stressed out with my course load. Also, intramural lacrosse will be starting up in the spring, so I’ll probably give it a shot. I’ve also been trying to eat healthier on a daily basis, no grilled cheese each time I go to Gibbes, and I’ve arranged my food on a shelf on the opposite side of the room so I don’t snack as much. Once next semester rolls around, I should be getting more sleep too but I never got very much at home anyways, and I often would function on little to no sleep, and that’s without the aid of redbull or coffee. I know that maybe these aren’t the healthiest choices but I feel like they’re just a part of college life; I’m not too worried.
