The Smart Students Guide to Healthy Living: How to Survive Stress, Late Nights, and the College Cafeteria

Description

Student life is full of possibilities - and pitfalls. The food isn't very good, but there sure is a lot of it. And you can eat as much of anything - and everything - as you want. There's no one in halls of residence to tell you when to go to bed, and the all-night cram session is something of a badge of honour (to say nothing of all-night parties.) And exercise - what's that? The good news is that, with a little good advice, first-year students can eat right and get the sleep and exercise they need to excel academically and creatively. It gives advice on cafeteria food choices and smart snacks that can be prepared with small appliances in student accommodation. The book offers tips on fitting regular exercise in to a busy class schedule and getting enough sleep without missing out on too much late-night fun.
