Eating healthy depite the challenges
I still use the stirring straw things to blow bubbles in my coffee. Is my freshman showing?
Totally just saw a guy playing the air guitar while walking on Wescoe Beach.
The "freshman 15" may no longer exist because with current obesity exists, we're looking at the "freshman 30" or worse, the "freshman 45."
According to research from the College Student Health Survey of University Students, 31 percent of college kids are overweight. So that means if you're sitting in a class with 30 students, almost 10 of your classmates are obese.
College life isn't the type of life it was years ago. Our older friends can't find jobs after graduation, our parents are nagging us to do well in school and every passing week seems to be a test of our sanity. Stress and sleep deprivation may be apart of this journey right now in life but it also contributes to our

bad food choices.
If I fail the human sexuality midterm, all of my worst fears will be realized.
Imagine the last time you were up late cramming for an exam or getting through a day after five hours of sleep. Were you more likely to embark on a healthy adventure at the salad bar or make a thoughtless, fried decision for lunch? Chances are your bloodshot eyes saw the first easy, quick option and grabbed it. Stress makes us lazy and this laziness leads to an unhealthy domino effect.
That brief moment of panic when you enter through the wrong door in a Budig class.
A day with barely any sleep, filled with stress and fast food equates to one, big unhealthy lifestyle that so many of us experience more frequently than wed like to admit. The trick is to spice it up.
Hot dogs, pizza and hamburgers
but show other options to eating while under the influence of stress and little sleep.
Your body will crave a sugary food if you're sleep deprived, but stay away from the temptation. Replace the doughnuts with scrambled eggs, a banana or celery sticks with peanut butter. The last thing you want to do when you're exhausted is put together a meal so don't forget grocery stores and the Underground are just a few of the places that sell premade healthy options for quick consumption.
have long been the traditional college feasts for years, so this type of tradition isn't easily breakable. Stress also goes hand in hand with college but what about health shakes instead of sugary lattes or salads instead of greasy burgers? Notice how I am not trying to help you prevent stress, that was an earlier column of mine this semester.
fast food chains and coffee shops are working together. Four coffees later and you find yourself at the drive-thru around 2 a.m. thinking, "They got me again!"
Grab a coffee if that's in your daily routine but don't double up just because you're tired. The caffeine may temporarily jumpstart your sluggish day but it will prolong it too. I sometimes think that 24/7
We may not be able to completely ban the bad stuff out of our lives because late night study sessions and days with little sleep after impromptu bar hopping are necessary evils of college. However, we can change our food choices by adding a little more of the healthy stuff or better yet, get more sleep.

Keeping the Chief allegiance
I was born and raised in Kansas, thus I am a KU, Royals and Chiefs fan. I am suspicious of anyone who doesn't follow the same protocol. I strongly detest Midwesterners donning Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees caps.
Having said that, I can say, without regret, Chiefs fans suck. Not all Chiefs fans, but many, too many, do indeed suck.
Illustrated by Maddie Lytle
I have split season tickets with my family for the past 10 years. I have attended at least four games a year for the past 16 years.
Once again, let me express my allegiance to the Chiefs:
I have seen bitter losses at Arrowhead. I was there in 1999 when the Raiders (with nothing to play for, having been already knocked out of the playoff hunt) beat the Chiefs (who needed the win to make the playoffs) in the last game of the season, in 1995 when Lin Elliot missed three field goals in a playoff game against the Colts, and in 2003 when our defense couldn't stop Peyton Manning and the Colts.
Through the suffering, I am still a proud fan. And, if we went another 19 years without a playoff win, I'd still be a fan. Why? It's who I am and I am's my mom's fault.
For some unexplained reason, Kansas City became a quarterback-centered town, despite the fact that the Chiefs have never been a pass-first football team. This quarterback obsession began during the Elvis Grbac/Rich Gannon
debacle of '97. Chiefs fans eventually ran Grbac out of town much like they're doing with Matt Cassel. Since then, every quarterback has been on a short leash with fans, and the backup has almost always been the most popular guy on the team.
Criticism is OK, But what I can't stand—even more than fair-weather Chiefs fans, which there are way too many—is the booing at Arrowhead. (Forget the cheering after Cassel was injured last week, which was very, very little) I have never understood why a fan would boo their own team at home. Chiefs fans are the worst at this. The past couple of seasons, the standard procedure has been to boo Cassel after his first incompletion and throughout the rest of the game.
Booing has become more and more common at Arrowhead through the years. I don't understand why "fans" (true fans don't boo their own team at home) don't see how this is idiotic and counter-productive.
I understand why Chiefs fans
are upset. The Pioli regine makes many fans yearn for the days of King Carl, a GM that brought nearly 20 years of success to Kansas City and who was also run out of town by idiotic fans. However, the most important ingredient to any good sports town is the fans. Mike Hendricks, a columnist for the Kansas City Star, recently referred to our city as "loserville" because of the poor performance of our sport teams. "Forbes" magazine ranked Kansas City as the eighth most miserable sports city in the U.S.
I take offense to this. Fans make the city, not the teams' performances. If we want to be a truly great sports town then we should support our teams no matter what.
Cities like Green Bay and Pittsburgh have set the example. Packer fans have sold out every home game at Lambau since 1960. Pittsburgh has sold out every home game since 1972. Green Bay has had their fair share of bad times in the past 52 years, yet their fans remain true.
Too bad Kansas City can't do the same thing. Instead we boo our team at home and only sell out when we're winning. What we need is pride, not pride in our team but pride in ourselves as fans and in our city, regardless of our teams' record.
