Get enough sleep: Stick to the 6-to 8-hour solid night of sound sleeping. Learn to avoid and/or manage the stressors of college life. Vary your meals. When the cafeteria has your favorite foods daily it can be easy to return to those old favorites every day. Drink water. Drinking enough water can help boost your concentration as well as keep you from overeating. Limit sugary and caffeinated beverages. Beverages may not fill you up, but they sure can help fatten you up and have a detrimental effect on your overall health. Take the stairs in classroom buildings instead of the elevator. Join sports clubs: Most schools offer intramural, club and recreational sports teams as well as their varsity teams.
