Let's talk money

     I have a lot of coats. And shoes. And clothes. And other things. My friends call me a shopaholic. I'm either in denial or have a very different definition of what a shopaholic is. But regardless, there are things I just can't help but be drawn to and splurge on. Has anyone else been in this situation before?
     Sometimes I think as a college student, I have a hard time managing money because I'm in this "limbo" kind of world. Yes, I do have to pay for the townhouse I live in and the food I eat, but I don't have to deal with landlords or the other financial aspects of "being on my own." But of course I want to be prepared for the future because it's going to be here sooner than I realize.

Turning Health Habit Intentions Into Health Habit Actions

     You struggle to drag your half-asleep body out of bed early in the morning to go to the gym. You choke down a bland, leafy salad instead of the cookie you see sitting on the counter. You go to bed before your favorite show comes on TV. You don't like to do these things (or at least I don't like to do these things), but you do them to keep your body in good, healthy shape.
     For me, I always thought I did these things to maintain my physical well-being. As I've dived into this topic of psychological well-being, though, I've found that enough sleep, a balanced diet and an exercise routine all help your mind just as much as your body.
     So how do I, and the many others out there who have good health habit intentions, turn those intentions into actions? Here are some tips to help.
