Don't be a Zombie!!

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. But that sort of situation is NOT going to work long-term.  You will start by being unable to pay attention in class, and then your body will start to feel slow and sludge-like due to not getting proper exercise and nutrition. YOU WILL TURN INTO A ZOMBIE.
One of the key things to remember: BE REALISTIC.
Set goals for yourself, but don't expect a miracle. After a long day of classes and band practice, are you going to want to study for 4 hours straight? I didn't think so. 

But you CAN set up a realistic schedule that still leaves time for a social life and interaction with your fellow residents!

Here are some tips from last year's zombies:



And lastly, remember that your ASM's are here to help you! We can offer suggestions and help you come up with a schedule and a game plan to combat zombification!
