Write it down

Today, naturalnews.com published an article including tips to get through college healthfully. In addition to the standard advice usually given to students, such as sleeping eight to 10 hours a night (Who has time for that?) and eating a nutritious diet, there is also another suggestion that may be more feasible for college students to stick to: Keep a journal.

I have to admit, I began jumping up and down (in my head) when I read this. I love my journal. I write in it almost every day. And the point the article makes about the benefits of writing things down resonates with me. Not only does keeping a journal provide me with an opportunity to remember all the fun (or lack of fun) I'm having in college, but it also puts those experiences into perspective. I can sort out all the thoughts and feelings that are tumbling around in my brain and put them into cohesive sentences on paper. It's pretty cool.

So go out, have an experience, and write it down. Organize your emotions. And if you already do that, I guess your next task is to get 10 hours of sleep a night. Good luck!
