Final Post

This semester was very interesting for me regarding my health and fitness. I think that on paper I learned more about health and nutrition than any other semester. After all, I was in this class and another class entitled Food and Nutrition. However, I think regarding my actual health, it was not too great.
Being the last semester of college ever and not having soccer I found myself going out much more and exercising less. I do not necessarily regret this, however, as I believe everyone should enjoy their last semester. What I am interested in is how I act in the future. I plan on getting back into good shape during this summer - the question is whether or not I will follow through with this plan.
I did learn a lot from this class about things I had never questioned or considered before. I think of yoga as an unbelievably important part of your fitness that is often overlooked. I think it is a required component for an overall healthy body.
Before, I had soccer as a motivational factor for being healthy. I like soccer and I wanted to be good, therefore I had to be in good shape. Now, that is gone. What I plan on doing is entering marathons and other athletic events. I want to get into biking or something new. Basically, I need some kind of a hobby that involves fitness. I would love to be good at yoga and I will continue it, but my body is so screwy sometimes I think that it is a lost cause. I think because we only did actual yoga once a week it was hard to see any progress in my body which was sort of annoying. However, I think that if I did it on a more regular basis I would be able to see results.
I'll be honest, sometimes I worry that in the future I will completely out of shape and become a fat couch potato. This is something that I do not want to happen, obviously haha. I am still young and compared to the average person my age I am in great shape so I have a head start. I just hope that I follow through and dont let myself down.

For whoever read this, adios and good luck in whatever you do in the future.

Finals Week

One thing that I find during finals week is that people spend 12 hours straight at the library and are super stressed out. I have always done well on finals and I think the reason why I do well is because I don't study for that long. Stressing out seems to be the worst thing you can do during such an important week. If you are at the library for 12 hours straight I'm going to go ahead and bet that you were productive during maybe half of that time.
Halas sports center is open 24 hours during the heat of finals week and it is open for a reason. After a few hours of studying I find it is neccesary to go workout or walk around or do something that does not involve studying. If you can give yourself a break you can come back to studying and actually be productive.
I may sound like a jerk here, but I simply find it annoying when people tell me how long they were at the commons for. When people bring pillows to the library I especially find it annoying. I am just saying, people need to relax a bit and what better way to relax is to do something like yoga. This week during finals I am going to try to do yoga each day to relax when my brain starts melting from studying so much.
But anyways, good luck on your finals everyone!
