Many times us college students forget how important the balance is between health, academics, work, athletics, and having a social life. It's a delicate balance that can take time to work out, and one that is different for everyone!
What's the stereotypical college student lifestyle? Work and attend class all day, eat ramen noodles or mac n' cheese every meal, and stay up through the night studying.
