Mind, Body, Budget: Maintaining Healthy Habits as a College Student
College: the land of late-night study sessions, ramen noodles, over-caffeination and juggling classes with work and a social calendar. Time is limited and budgets are tight, so health and wellness often takes a hit.
While college life may not always align with healthy habits, students and professionals said it is possible to be healthy in college, and crucial in order to thrive mentally and physically.
Health encompasses more than just nutrition, exercise or fulfilling relationships, but rather, all of these things working together for holistic wellness, said Kyra Hatton, senior and Student Wellness Advisory Board (SWAB) co-president.
“Health is so interconnected,” Hatton said. “You can’t really only focus on one of those three elements of health. Every one of them is going to impact the other.”
