College students lead busy lives, some work two jobs while still attending college as a full time student. Others are involved in sports or club activities. Sometimes all of these activities together can get to be a little overwhelming. Time and the way it’s managed have always and will always be an important aspect of the college life.

Sometimes while trying to juggle grades, social life and a job our eating habits will most likely change in order to accommodate to this new crazy schedule. Most students settle for eating out in a restaurant close to their college, order a pizza slice and eat it quickly on the way to their class. In fact I was guilty of doing this for almost everyday during my first semester as a college student. While the thought of eating pizza or any other type of junk food everyday makes me tremendously happy. I had to admit that my eating choices were affecting my health and my overall productivity. This had to change.

In my first semester I felt tired all the time and I wasn’t as productive as I used to be. I craved junk food whenever I felt disappointed; it was a never-ending cycle. That’s when I made the decision to change my eating habits for good. The first step to changing your eating options to healthier choices is by managing your time better.

When you are in a hurry to get to a class you are more likely to choose a non-healthy food to eat, perhaps make your own food at home and eat it in your school cafeteria. Not only does it save you money, but you are eating healthier as well. Another choice is instead of choosing a non-healthy food go for something that you know will be healthier. In the end it will benefit you in the long run.
