Find an outlet

Finding an outlet for your energy or frustration or even just a hobby will make college much more fun. Last semester I had 22 hours of school per week... that's not a lot. This semester I only have 19 which obviously is even less. With all that free time and virtually nothing to fill it with most of the time, the exception being exam time. I found out that I love a clean kitchen and I love to cook and bake. I admit that most of my time is spent on social media and a lot of that time on social media is spent on Pinterest. I love looking up recipes for everything, dinner, desserts, and breakfast too. I just love finding the creative things that people make and I want to try them out myself. I've found that I particularly enjoy decorating cakes and cupcakes because I love to draw and piping designs is so much fun. Penne with home made alfredo sauce is one of my favourite recipes to make and I usually make it once a week to once every two weeks, I'll get around to posting the recipe soon.
I think that finding an outlet should be a main priority because otherwise you'll get bored and lazy and mess up your sleep schedule and you'll probably end up on the internet for 8 hours a day. This outlet can be anything! At Fleming you get a full membership to the Wellness Center (Gym) that is only a 5 minute walk away. Joining a gym will help keep off the freshman 15 and keep you healthy and active. Baking or cooking is a life skill so that's a great one to take up but drawing or painting, volunteering, running, knitting, swimming, music, or even blogging (and I don't mean tumblr) are great things to invest your time in! These activities keep your mind and/or body active which will lead to you being healthier!
Go out and find what you're passionate about and what you love to do!
