No one suffers from the superman complex more than college students. They are young, strong, energetic, and ready to take on the world. While it's true that most students make it through alive, the consequences of their lifestyle will take a toll. As boring and adult as it sounds, staying healthy in college sure has its benefits! Check it out.
It's not like you didn't know that exercising is important for health. But what can you do as a busy college student to get in a proper amount of exercise? If you know your schedule, find a time to set aside for exercise. If exercise is scheduled in as solidly as your classes are, it will be much easier to work out each day. If you really are way too busy, many colleges offer sports classes. Enroll in one each semester. It's a great way to get regular exercise AND learn new, fun sporting skills. Another neat mind-hack is to sign up for a 5K or a triathlon. These races cost money, and after signing up, you suddenly have motivation to train for a goal.
Johnny was now in his junior year of college. He barely made it into his selected major and was now entering upper-division classes. Rather than in-class quizzes and multiple choice classes, he was given group projects, fifteen-page papers, and free-response essay finals. At the beginning of the semester, it seemed like he had no homework at all! He would go to class, pay attention, learn a lot, and go home. He disregarded his reading, because he saw no reason for re-learning what they already talked about in class. But as the semester wore on, Johnny began feeling the weight of upcoming papers and projects tugging on his shoulders.
The first paper rolled around. The night before it was due, he finally gathered the will to write. He'd just sit down, throw out some flowery writing peppered with principles he had learned in class and that would be that. As he reviewed the syllabus for the paper's guidelines, he began realizing that his regular last-minute writing might not cut it. He was required to include fifteen reliable sources, including three personal interviews, and several examples from the text they had been assigned.
Do everything you can to set a regular sleep schedule. If you can go to bed and get up around the same time every day, your body will get the rest it needs and be able to handle the demands of the day. Of course, that won't happen if you consistently go to bed at 3 and wake up at 6. Most people need at least 6-9 hours of sleep per night to function properly. Lack of sleep will wear down your body in the long term as well as the short term. Don't put your body through that unnecessary stress.
After a few nervous weeks, he got his papers back. Two D's and two F's. Put on academic probation, Johnny had to slowly work his way back. Never again, would Johnny put off his homework! He fully repented and soon graduated with honors from Fort Collin's Colleges! The Fort Collins College Campus became a springboard of opportunities and had taught Johnny important, life lessons.
