Some college students worry about weight and want to eat healthy and stay fit but do not have the time.

Students fail to prioritize their health due to a lack of managing schedules and stress created by workload.

Learning to manage a schedule and workload can create the time needed to be spent on making healthier choices and trying to get fit.

            Students said they had to develop a structure and stick to it until it felt natural to be healthy.

            MSU student Angel Montalban works out 5 days a week while MSU student Carley Pagels works out whenever she finds the time.

            Changing around a schedule can be difficult but MSU offers healthy outlets, like getting involved intramural sports or speaking to a nutritionist on campus.

College students are known to gain the “Freshman 15” and become unhealthy once they spend their first year in college.

            Students fall into unhealthy patterns from the workloads and the stress of assignments, so students often do not prioritize working out or eating healthy as an important part of the college experience.

            Students try to avoid becoming unhealthy or gaining weight by creating a health regimin. However, most students struggle with working out and finding the motivation to be healthy.

            MSU student Angel Montalban works at IM West and created his own regimen of working out 5 times a week and eating healthy meals with protein and vegetables.

            Another MSU student Carley Pagels devotes time to cooking healthy food and exercising when she can.

Students on campus find different ways to be healthy through what MSU has to offer, such as their intramural sports, recreational areas, and gyms around campus.
