Salty Toothpaste
Sprinkle some salt on your victim's toothbrush. When this person goes to brush their teeth, he or she will get a salty tasted treat.

Wax paper+nail polish+workaholic=awesome(: Take wax paper and some nail polish you don't use anymore, pour the nail polish onto the wax paper and wait till it hardens, peel it off and lay it on an important document, it looks like you spilled it everywhere(: Your workaholic parents will FREAK OUT.

Seran Rap+toilet+dad=messy! Wrap clear sticky seran wrap around the toilet opening, TIGHTLY or it will have little ripples and he'll notice. When he pees, well, you know(: put a note on the toilet seat, april fools(;

Computer mouse+sticky note=aggravating: Take a sticky note and tape it under your mouse where the little light is, write April Fools on it and watch whoever gets on the computer, the cursor wont move(: 


put tape on the sink spray nozel. when your dad turns on the sink he will get sprayed.... i do that one every year :)
 
Koolaid+Shower head+red water=FUN! Take a packet of powder koolaid and unscrew the shower head, pack the powder into the shower head and watch as a person takes their shower, theyll get prayed with red water for awhile(:

Bathroom+gotta pee=annoyed(: Stay in the bathroom for a while, knowing your family member needs to go REAL bad, make sure the toilet paper is all used up and there no more in the cabinet, the person who runs in wont notice till its too late(:

Shower+no clothes=OH MY GOD! While someone takes a shower, get all their clothes, towels, rugs, and anything they can cover themselves with outta the bathroom. When they get out theyll be stuck for quite a while(:




Quarter+Pencil+skill=Hilarious. Take a quarter and practice getting it to roll along your forehead, over your nose, and to your chin. Color the quarter with the pencil after you have perfected it, take another quarter and challenge your sister or brother or friend, show them you can do it (with the clean quarter) and give them the colored quarter, thell attempt to do it and eventually get it right, when they do, congratulate them and walk away. Wait for him or her to find out he or she has a bunch of black pencil lines all over their face(:
 

Stuck In The Bathroom
Remove the bathroom door knob and put it back on the reverse way so the lock is on the outside. Then push the button or turn to lock the door. Remember to leave the door open. Now, whoever is next to use the bathroom, will not even notice this and he will lock himself inside.

Shower Before Entering
If you know someone who turns on the shower before actually entering the tub area. Then before their next shower, turn the shower-head so it faces outside the shower area. Most people don't even look up before turning the nozzle.

Shampoo Shower Prank
Glue a bottle of shampoo to the shower shelf (to avoid damage, use clear caulk on a surface that can be scraped).

Bar Of Soap Lather Prank
Take some nail polish and coat a bar of soap with it. Let it dry. Then put it in the bathroom shower. When your victim tries to use it, he or she will go nuts trying to get it to lather up.

Unable To Open
Glue all the bottles of shampoo shut so they cannot be opened.

Terrible Aim
Sprinkle some water with yellow food coloring all over the toilet seat and floor. It will look like whoever used the toilet before you was a terrible aimer.

Cream Cheese Deodorant
Scrape off about an inch or so of your victim's deodorant and replace it with cream cheese. It will take a few minutes to sculpt the cheese in place to look like the deodorant. When finished, put the lid back on and back where you found the deodorant. When your victim needs to freshen up again, he will get a cream cheese surprise

Food Coloring In Hand Soap Dispenser
Put some food coloring inside the hand soap dispenser. When your victim tries to wash his hands, they will end up worse than before he decided to wash them.

Urinate Forever
Impress a buddy who is in a room next to the bathroom. Excuse yourself to go to the bathroom, but along the way get a large bucket with water and take it in with you. Then slowly pour it in the toilet. It will take forever to finish pouring it all in. Your buddy in the room next door will say, "WOW" as he will think you are taking a very very long pee.

So Forgetful
Tape some magnets to the bottom of a cup and the top of your car and drive away. It will look like you forgot to grab your cup off the top before driving off and people all around will try and get your attention and flag you down, while you just laugh and drive.

Cruelty To Animals
Attach a leash to the rear bumper of your victim's car. When he drives away, other cars driving behind him will think he forgot about his pet that he tied to the bumper.

Change Automobile Settings
While your victim is away from his car, go inside and turn stereo volume to max, turn windsheild wipers on, air conditioner to max, scoot seats all the way up and adjust mirrors.

Wrong Keys
Next time you are with a group of friends and two of your friends have the same type of car...for example both friends have a Volkswagon. Then chances are both Volkswagon keys will look identical. When both of your friends aren't looking...switch their keys.

Jack Up The Car
Jack up a persons car so the wheels are just barely off the ground, but not enough to be noticable.

Styrofoam Peanuts
Fill your victim's car with styrofoam peanuts then ask him to go to the store for you.

Bad Cop, No Donut!
You can usually find a bumper sticker at any Novelty Store that reads, "Bad Cop, No Donut!" If you can't find one, you can just make one yourself. Place it on your bumper and everytime you see a cop. Just drive in front of him. You might want to reduce your speed a bit to make sure he reads it.

Pop!
Put a balloon over the hole of the victim's exhaust pipe. After he drives away...a few blocks later, he will hear a big POP!!

I Ran Over My Arm
Place a fake rubber or plastic arm under your tire after you park your car. Add a small puddle of fake blood. Then hide one of your arms. When people ask what happened, tell them the car brakes weren't working

Sorry About The Damage!
Leave a fake note on someone's car windsheild that reads, "Sorry about the damage i caused to your automobile. Call me and I will be more than happy to pay for the repair" Be sure not to leave a phone number...of course there is no real damage. But the victim doesn't know this. He or she will look all over for a dent or scratch or something. 

Move The Car
When your victim isn't paying attention. Get his keys and move his car. If he parked out in the street next to the curb. Then just turn the car around so it is now parked the wrong way.

Tire Blowout
Place a blown up balloon under your victim's tire. When he starts the car up and drives off, he will hear a loud POP!! and think the tire just blew out!  

Fight+ketchup+sister=FREAK OUT! Challenge your sister to a fight, trip her or punch her or something and let her get your back, hide a glob of ketchup or red food coloring in your other hand and smear it on your self where she hit you while your on the ground away from her, shell freak out when she comes over.

Butter+clumsy=Laughable. Rub butter or margarine around the floor, leave a note somewhere nearby that says ''Ill clean it up'' and wait for someone to walk by, theyll read the note and walk forward, slipping on the butter and falling.

Car+little stickers=confused. Get those little sticky things for the windows, put a whole bunch of them all over your parents or your sisters car and watch as they try to remember how they got there.

If your a mischievous person, and your parents think you'll do something for April Fools day, buy them some flowers, chocolate, etc. and don't do anything. Just sit back and watch as your parents anticipate something. Its really funny

7 Reasons Women Fall Out of Love

Love is a beautiful thing, until it fades away. The ladies have spoken — and here are some main reasons why they lose that loving’ feeling…

The Honeymoon is Over

Some lovely ladies aren’t the most realistic – and expect life to be sunshine and roses 24/7. After the newness of love begins to fade, and the focus is often on paying bills, work or other responsibilities, they lose interest. Reality bites – just a little too much for some poor souls, unfortunately. It’s likely in these cases the women have some serious growing up to do.

They Stop Feeling Adored

Feeling appreciated, acknowledged and special is super important for women, who often balance and juggle so many things in life. Women are moms, housekeepers, cooks, businesswomen, caretakers, etc. While many women say they love doing it all and wouldn’t have it any other way – feeling adored by their partner makes it all worth it. Often times men will express their feelings of gratitude in the beginning, but get complacent after the novelty of the new relationship wears off. Compliments and recognition are two things women love … forever, guys!

We’ve Changed or (It’s Not You, It’s Me!)

The fact is, what women want in their twenties differs greatly with what they are looking for in their thirties, forties and beyond. While the hard-to-get bad boy is thrilling and a real challenge when one is younger, it is the genuine, loyal guy that most of us will fall in love with later on, when security is also a priority. There’s something to be said about waiting a bit to settle down – at least until you know yourself pretty darn well.

Emotional Disconnect

There is a common thread through many of these reasons, and it is poor communication – or none at all. It is crucial that partners remain connected and make each other a priority. Getting distracted by daily life does happen, but one should always seek to bring it back to what matters most – the love between the two people. We all need to feel loved and when we don’t, some of us will shut down and eventually the love fades away.

Loss of Independence

There is such a thing as “healthy separateness” in a relationship. It’s important that both women and men retain their own friends, own activities and personal interests after they get together. When your partner becomes the end-all-be-all, they also may make you incredible resentful at what you have given up to be with them. The best couples figure out how to maintain their own identities as individuals as well. We'd love to hear what made you fall out of love. Was there a defining moment or a gradual change in your feelings?

Boredom

“We’ve gotten into the worst rut. We do the same things every weekend. He never has any ideas or takes any initiative to plan anything.” We heard this several times from frustrated ladies who were sensing a complete lack of interest or passion from their mates. To keep a relationship thriving, you’ve got to keep it interesting and put some thought and energy into it. What’s that they say about tending to the garden? Well, it’s true.

Wherefore Art Thou Chemistry?

Some women get addicted to that initial stage – the warm feeling in the pit of your stomach when you know you are going to see your love. As anyone knows who has been in a relationship long enough, chemistry often fades, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but for some that means it’s time to move on. It may not be the most mature point of view – but it’s a choice women make when the sparks have dwindled.

Supernatural Source of Automatic writing

Automatic writing is the process, or product, of writing material that does not come from the conscious thoughts of the writer. The writer's hand forms the message, and the person is unaware of what will be written. It is sometimes done in a trance state. Other times the writer is aware (not in a trance) of their surroundings, but the actions of their writing hand.

Therapy - Automatic writing is used as a tool in Freudian psychology and in related "self knowledge" studies, where it is seen as a means of gaining insight into the mind of the automatic writer through their subconscious word choices.It was primarily used by Pierre Janet in France, and later by Morton Prince and by Anita Muhl in the United States.

Religion - Automatic writing is used in Spiritualism and the New Age movement as a form of channeling. One of the best-known automatic writers was Helene Smith, an early 20th century psychic who felt that her automatic writing was the attempt of Martians to communicate with Earth. She claimed she could translate their Martian language into French.

The ideas of Helene Smith influenced the Surrealist movement. Andre Breton, leader of the Surrealist movement, pioneered its use within the movement and produced several important pieces of automatic writing, most famously, Soluble Fish. The Surrealists dubbed her "The Muse of Automatic Writing"; in the Surrealist deck of cards, Smith is the "Genius of Knowledge." Automatic writing became a part of the Surrealist's repertoire of games, and it soon developed into a number of other Surrealist games and tools that greatly influenced the movement, such as automatic drawing, automatic palimpsest, and a variety of marker-word games. Free writing later gained popularity with writers and poets, both as a means of stimulating creative thought and as a technique for overcoming writer's block.

Skeptics point out that automatic writing claimed to be of supernatural origins is a parlor game that has little more effect than to spark creativity in the minds of the participants. They claim, as with other paranormal phenomena, that the subconscious of those performing the writing is the only thing influencing their actions and that there is no solid evidence that any messages are coming from anywhere other than the minds of the person holding the pencil. This is referred to as the ideomotor effect.

As there is no scientific evidence supporting the use of automatic writing in therapy, its usage to release repressed memories is suspect as well. While unconscious ideas are expressed in automatic writing, skeptics point out that it is unlikely that they are any more profound than the writer's conscious thoughts. Skeptics argue that there is no evidence that the "true self" lies in the unconscious any more than it does in normal consciousness.

Doodling is a form of automatic writing as it is generally not consciously focused writing. Many people doodle spirals which are associated with Sacred Geometry.

We attempt automatic writing for several reasons. First - to get information about our personal life. Second - to confirm something from some who exists on the other side or has deceased.

The answers can be surprising ... but always be cautious as with any tool of divination chosen - such as the ouija board.

If you have emotional problems - you may not like the messages that come through. Your consciousess - being in lower frequency due to emotional problems will attract a lower frequency entity.

If you like drama - and consider your life to be in drama - don't channel.

When attempting automatic writing you may use a writing implement, computer, or any other means of communicating through the written word. Many people prefer the computer as they can type quickly without filtering the information coming through. When reread - even a typo can mean something.

To divert the focus of the writer - shifting from left brain logical thinking - to right brain intuitive thinking - take a pencil in hand, place it against a piece of paper as if about to write something. Then turn your attention to something else, such as watching television, reading a book, or talking with someone. For many people, their hand will write coherent material.

Much of this goes to 'control' and have much you are willing to give to a non-physical entity.

The amount of time spent on automatic writing can vary with the person and the session.

Words, sentences or whole paragraphs may appear. Often, the writing is illegible - the text appearing jumbled - without proper grammar or punctuation - mostly run-on sentences.

Messages can be written in a language - or hand writing style - not recognized by the writer and signed by someone unknown.

A picture or symbol may be written.

 

Some automatic writers know who is giving the messages while others do not. If the energies feel comfortable to you then you will soon learn who the entity is and why he/she is writing with you.


Gently place your finger on the keyboard. You are relaxed and not concerned about what you will type.

Type today's date at the top of your page.

Mentally call one of your guides and tell him / her you want to communicate with the computer. Tell them you can only work with one guide at a time. You may select the guide - or perhaps it is their choice. Not all guides use automatic writing to communicate.

On the first day you must get to know who your guide is.

Type, "Hello. What is your name?"

Follow with questions about the spirit guide and his relationship with you.

I would suggest you start with simple questions that can be answered with a 'yes or no' answer.

Don't stop to think. Just allow your fingers to type the answer.

This is a time to get to know your guide and why he / she is working with you at this time.

After a few minutes you will find yourself typing more quickly. There may be mistakes in punctuation - no space between words - poor grammar - unknown words - whatever. This is not important! You can fix the typos later.

Just keep typing questions and answers.

Do not write too much on the first day. Just start slowly and feel comfortable.

You can begin again whenever you like. There is no schedule requirements. Each experience will make you more comfortable.

On the second day you can ask questions that are beyond 'yes or no' answers and get more details.

I would suggest you not ask about your love life until you are comfortable with the spirit and this form of mediumship. This is much easier when the questions are not about you.

On the second day - ask spirit (you should now have a name) - about your spiritual work - relationship with the guide - other spiritual questions.

On the third day - ask about global matters - earth changes - changes in the Millennium - other.

On the fourth day - begin personal questions but remember you can only ask a question once. Asking a question over and over again until you type your desired answer - is wrong.

Ex. "Does - - - - love me?"

If the answer is No ! Then so be it!

Change question to - "Will I find a true love? Marry? Etc."

This equates to finding a psychic reader who will tell you what you want to hear not what is the truth. The more you use automatic writing, the easier and faster it gets. Remember to save your notes!

There is a poet in each of us. The emotional body expresses itself through the art of poetry. Sometimes we write as we feel, thus allowing our pain to come through and be released.

Top Five Beach Vacation in USA

Miami Beach , City in Florida

 

Three quarters of a century after the art deco movement, Miami remains one of the world's trendiest and flashiest hot spots. Luckily for visitors, South Beach is no longer the only place to stand and pose in Miami. North of downtown, the growing Wynwood and Design districts—along with nearby Midtown—are home to Miami's hipster and fashionista movements, and the South Beach "scene"

 

Miami Beach, connected by bridges to mainland Miami, is a resort city on a barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic. Its southern end, South Beach, is famed as a destination for models and celebrities, with a wealth of art deco buildings. Wide beaches line the island’s oceanfront. Nightlife centers on Ocean Drive, running through the Art Deco Historic District.

Perdido Key, Florida

“Perdido” means “lost” or “hidden” in Spanish, and refers back to how this elusive bay was discovered by Spanish cartographer and scientist, Don Carlos Siquenza in 1693. As a result, many local residents refer to Perdido Key as Lost Key.
This barrier island is located in extreme northwest Florida and southeast Alabama with beautiful beaches, parks, and preserves making up 61% of the area. Visitors can enjoy trails and endangered wildlife, such as the Perdido Key Beach Mouse and sea turtles.
Diving enthusiasts can go on an adventure at the resting place of the U.S.S. Massachusetts that was sunk at Fort Pickens State Park Aquatics Preserve after 100 years of duty.

Virginia Beach, Virginia

The beaches are wonderful (and plentiful!) in Virginia. The waves that roll in from the Atlantic are much higher and conducive to surfing than the waves on most other East Coast beaches. Moreover, the boardwalks, restaurants, and nightlife in Virginia Beach are second to none, and summertime is the perfect time to play in Virginia Beach.
Naturally, there is a lot more to the area than just the beach. As case in point, the surrounding area, also known as Hampton Roads, contains two of the most historically preserved towns in the United States: Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg.
Jamestown is the first permanent and still existing settlement in America, which makes it a legendary must-see-before-I-die location. Colonial Williamsburg has a multitude of exhibits and activities relating to America’s Revolutionary period. The area is also home to one of the top amusement parks, Busch Gardens.

New Braunfels, Texas

Originally a German settlement named ‘Neu-Braunfels,’ the city of New Braunfels is located in the heart of Texas, near San Antonio. In recent years, it has turned into an up-and-coming vacation spot with a myriad of recreational opportunities that include popular water sports.
Due to the mostly warm climate, visitors can tube, raft, or water-ski on the city’s two rivers, the Comal and the Guadalupe, almost year round. Fishing is also an option here. In addition, New Braunfels attracts a lot of water enthusiasts with the nation’s largest water park, Schlitterbahn. One great aspect of the attractions in New Braunfels are home or condo rentals within walking distance to the water park and the rivers so you don’t have to worry about parking hassles.

The town is also home to honky-tonk music, the most popular venue being Gruene Hall; Texas’ oldest dancehall, where Lyle Lovett and George Strait honed their chops before they became famous. It’s a great place to don Wranglers and line-dance to the break-a-dawn.

Although Hawaii takes the top spot, Florida may have the most to boast in this year’s survey, with a whopping four out of the top 10 beaches. The Carolinas each have one beach in the survey, plus one in Cape Cod.
The lone west coast beach is a newcomer to the survey, East Beach in Santa Barbara, Calif. If you’re wondering about that oil spill this May in Santa Barbara County, authorities say it was about 25 miles away and didn’t impact East Beach.

100 Health and Wellness Tips for College Students

Do not 'go on a diet'. Switch to healthier eating habits that you can continue long term. If you lose weight gradually, you are more likely to keep it off.
Diet
Without careful attention to your diet, you could end up putting on the freshman 15 and more. Follow these tips to help keep your diet healthy and beneficial.

1. Learn proper portion size. To avoid eating too much of even the healthiest foods, keep track of how much you're eating. For most people, meat servings should be about the size of a deck of cards and other servings vary by the type of food.
2. Vary your meals. When the cafeteria has your favorite foods daily it can be easy to return to those old favorites every day. Changing up your diet from day to day is an important part of good nutrition so take advantage of the variety of selections available to you.
3. Eat breakfast. Start your day off right with a good meal when you get up. Whether you're rolling out of bed at noon or up at the crack of dawn for class, make sure you start your day with a balanced, healthy meal.
4. Keep healthy snacks around. It's easy to eat healthy if you keep the Cheetos at bay and stock your dorm room with fruits and other healthy snacks. You'll be more likely to reach for these than junk food if you keep them nearby or in your backpack.
5. Drink moderately. While college students are known for their partying, you can still have a good time without consuming all the calories that come along with binging on beer, plus you'll avoid the hangovers and other negative effects. Drink in moderation and you can have a good time without hurting your health.
6. Don't fight stress by eating. It can be tempting to reach for a bag of chips or some cookies when you're stressed out about an impending exam. Eating won't help your stress go away, so avoid filling up on snacks. Try working out or taking a break instead.
7. Drink water. Drinking enough water can help boost your concentration as well as keep you from overeating. Make sure to keep hydrated as you go through your day by bringing water with you.
8. Limit sugary and caffeinated beverages. Beverages may not fill you up, but they sure can help fatten you up and have a detrimental effect on your overall health. You don't have to completely give up soda and coffee, but you should scale back in order to keep yourself in tip top shape.
9. Try to eat fruits and veggies. Even if fruits and vegetables don't comprise some of your favorite foods, try to incorporate at least a few of them into your diet each day.
10. Limit junk food. Junk food is fast and easy and many students end up eating a lot of it while they're on the run to class or to work. While a little fast food now and again won't really hurt you, make sure it doesn't become a habit.
11. Make it convenient to eat right. Don't make it hard for yourself to eat right. Buy healthy foods and stock your fridge and room with them to ensure they're the first things at hand when you get hungry.
12. Don't skip meals. With so much to do, it's easy to forgo eating to run off to class or the library. Don't skip meals. Set up foods you can eat on the run so you'll have the energy to keep going.
13. Indulge every once in awhile. A little treat now and then is a great way to reward yourself for eating a healthy diet. Give yourself a break and indulge in a food you love but can't eat all the time.
14. Take vitamins. If you feel like you aren't getting the nutrition you need from your diet, don't hesitate to supplement it with some multi-vitamins to stay healthy and illness free.
15. Get help for eating disorders. While many groups focus on helping students lose weight, there are those who need help fighting eating disorders as well. If you are worried you have an eating disorder and want help, don't be afraid to reach out to campus resources for help.

Exercise
Fitting exercise into a busy schedule isn't always the easiest thing, but take stock of some of these tips to help you get on track to fitness.

16. Stretch first. Help yourself avoid injuries by stretching each time you exercise. Simple stretches before and after you work out or engage in physical activity can help keep you active and pain free.
17. Ride your bike. Instead of taking the bus or driving to class, try biking instead. It will give you a few minutes of exercise between your courses.
18. Play a sport. One way to get yourself motivated to exercise is to make it a game by playing a sport. Join an intramural team or play recreational sports through your school to get active and have fun at the same time.
19. Use safety equipment. No matter what sport you're playing, make sure to always use the proper safety equipment. It will keep you from getting hurt which will allow you to stay active more often.
20. Head to the gym. Most schools provide students with gym facilities they can take advantage of for free. Head to the gym between classes or when you get up in the morning to squeeze in a workout.
21. Take advantage of fitness courses. Along with gym facilities most students will have access to fitness classes they can take. Since you're already paying for these through your tuition you may as well take advantage and get a workout that will help keep you in shape and motivate you.
22. Walk to class. While taking public transportation might be quicker, walking will give you a chance to stretch your legs, burn some calories and relax before your next class.
23. Incorporate different kinds of exercise in your routine. When you work out, don't just stick to one kind of workout. Incorporate strength training, cardio and stretching exercises into your routine to make it well rounded.
24. Make it fun. You're probably not going to work out if you are bored with your routine or find going to the gym torture. Find a way to make it fun for yourself and you'll be much more likely to keep it up.
25. Bring a friend. With someone else relying on you showing up, you'll be much more likely to make the effort to work out. Plus, working out with a friend can be a great way to make working out more fun.
26. Take advantage of open spaces. Most colleges are equipped with large grassy quads or arboretums with trails you can walk on. Take advantage of these spaces to take hikes, play frisbee or just walk around.

Sleep
College students aren't exactly known for their early to bed early to rise attitudes, but getting sleep is an integral part of staying healthy. Check out these tips to help you make sure you're resting enough.

27. Take a nap. If you have the time during the day, a short nap can do wonders for your energy levels. Just make sure not to nap too close to bedtime or for too long, and a nap will do your body good.
28. Don't work in bed. Working in bed can make getting to sleep harder. Keep your work space separate from your sleep space to keep insomnia at bay.
29. Get a full night's rest whenever possible. While the amount of sleep each person needs varies, most people need 7-9 hours to feel fully rested. While this may not be possible every night, try to sleep a full night whenever you get the chance.
30. Stick to a schedule. With different classes and work hours each day, it can be hard to stick to a schedule, but keeping sleep times similar from day to day can greatly improve your chances of getting a good night's sleep.
31. Understand that lack of sleep can have a big impact. Lack of sleep doesn't just make you cranky, it can also reduce your ability to concentrate and to excel at class, so try to get as much sleep as you need.
32. Work out bedtimes with roommates. When sharing a room with someone it can be hard to go to bed when you need to and not get woken up when you don't want to. Try to work with your roomies to make sure you each get the sleep you need.
33. Avoid all nighters. While you may feel like you need to study all night to do well you might be doing yourself a disservice. Not getting enough sleep can impair your ability to do well, regardless of how much you've studied, so make sure you get at least a little sleep before your big test.
34. Create a bedtime routine. If you have trouble falling asleep at night you can help yourself by creating a routine that will let your mind and body know that bedtime is approaching and that it should get into sleep mode. After a few weeks of practice this should help you fall asleep when you need to.
35. Avoid caffeine, eating and drinking right before bed. All of these activities can throw off your body's internal clock, so try to limit meals, alcohol and caffeine consumption to a few hours before bed.
36. Keep your room dark and quiet. While college campuses are hardly either, try to keep your room as dark, quiet and cool as possible. This will help trigger to your body that it's time for bed and help you get and stay asleep.

Sexual Health
College is a place where many students choose to explore their sexuality. Students can do this safely by following these tips.

37. Get tested. Protect your sexual health by getting tested for STDs annually or even more frequently. Most schools offer these tests for free or at a low cost, so all students, even those with small incomes, can afford the tests.
38. Always use protection. Unless you are in a long-term, monogamous relationship with a partner who has been confirmed STD-free, always make sure to use protection to prevent the risk of contracting a disease.
39. Discuss issues with your partner. Sex shouldn't be painful or scary. If you are nervous or uncomfortable with any element of your sexual relationship, make sure to bring these things up with your partner or health care provider to ensure things are emotionally and physically ok.
40. Get regular exams. Whether you're male or female, getting your equipment checked out regularly is a must. Women can get breast exams and pap smears that can greatly reduce their risk of cancer.
41. Take advantage of vaccinations. Many schools now offer the HPV vaccination. Female students can take advantage of these to reduce their chance of contracting the HPV virus, the leading cause of almost all cervical cancers.
42. Attend informational classes. Most colleges offer classes that discuss sexual issues, so you can educate yourself and learn to stay healthy and happy.
43. Find someone to talk to. Many students in college have questions about their sexuality and some even feel confused. It helps to find someone you can trust to talk to in order to help you find some direction and figure out who you really are.
44. Don't do anything you're not comfortable with. While you may feel pressure from a partner or even those around you to engage in certain sexual activities, never do anything you aren't completely comfortable with. It's your body and you are in charge, don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.

Illness
With communal living and thousands of other students sharing classroom space, spreading colds and viruses is easy if you're not careful. These tips can help keep you from getting sick.

45. Wash your hands. Studies have shown that simple hand washing can help prevent a large number of illnesses. So wash your hands, especially any time you'll be touching your nose, mouth or eyes or if you've been around others who are sick.
46. Avoid sharing beverages. Germs are easily spread through the sharing of drinks, alcoholic or otherwise, so get your own and avoid sharing with friends.
47. Don't go to class. If you're sick, don't force yourself to go to class. It will only make you feel worse and infect other students. Email your professors that you're ill and stay home and rest.
48. Get to the doctor. If you have symptoms that aren't showing any signs of clearing up within a few days, you may need to take a trip to the campus clinic or your doctor. Simple illnesses can mutate into much more deadly and dangerous ones if left alone so make sure to seek help if you aren't feeling any better.
49. Drink lots of fluids. Colds and flu can wreck havoc on your body, often depriving it of much needed fluids. Replenish these by drinking plenty of water or energy drinks when you're ill.
50. Get a flu shot. With so many germs around, sometimes getting a flu shot is the best thing you can do to avoid getting sick. Many colleges offer these for reduced prices so students can get vaccinated for little out of pocket expense.
51. Wear flip flops in the shower. Dorm bathrooms are generally cleaned daily, but can become dirty quickly with so many students sharing them. Always make sure to wear sandals in the shower to avoid getting viruses and bacteria that can cause warts and athlete's foot.
52. Avoid ill friends. If your friend is sick, try to avoid spending too much time around them. While bringing soup or medications won't hurt, touching ill friends and their stuff can increase your chances of getting sick yourself.
53. Don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth. If your hands aren't totally clean, try to avoid touching these areas. The membranes in these areas make it easy for bacteria and viruses to enter your body.
54. Try simple over the counter remedies. Most viruses leave you feeling miserable but with no recourse in medications that can make them go away. Try out over the counter remedies to help ease your symptoms.
55. Keep immunizations up to date. While most students will have been immunized as a child, some shots may need to be updated when you enter college. Make sure yours are up to date to keep you from contracting a serious illness.

Stress
Students can get run down with so much going on. These tips can help you beat the stress.

56. Create a routine. If you get yourself in the habit of studying, working out, and sleeping at certain hours, it will be easier to fit in all the things you need to do in a day without feeling too stressed out.
57. Put limits on work hours. You can't work all the time-fun and relaxation have to be part of your routine as well. Limit the times when you will work to give yourself time to sleep and rest up so you won't get sick.
58. Give yourself a break. If you've been working steadily for hours, give your eyes and mind a chance for a rest by taking a break. You can come back feeling more refreshed and ready to go.
59. Be realistic. Sometimes there's just no way you're going to get done everything you'd like to in one day. Be realistic about your goals and understand that you can only do so much.
60. Understand you can't do everything. While you might want to go to class, work, play a sport, and participate in clubs and social activities, the reality is that sooner or later you're going to get run down by trying to do so much. Focus on doing the things you truly love and forget about the rest.
61. Get help. If you're feeling overwhelmed, reach out and ask for help from professors and friends. They may be able to give you more time or help you to complete projects and studying more quickly.
62. Take advantage of campus meditation and yoga programs. Many campuses are equipped with programs that can help students get a release from their stresses through a relaxing session of meditation.
63. Cut back if needed. Sometimes students overwhelm themselves with everything they have going on. If you're feeling like you've got too much on your plate, cut back work hours, drop a class or cut out some extracurricular activities to make your schedule more manageable.
64. Relax with hobbies. Whether you like to paint or to destroy aliens with your friends in video games, making time for the things you love is an important part of keeping yourself from getting too stressed out.
65. Give yourself plenty of time. It's easy to put off starting on a big project or studying for a test until the last minute. You'll be much less stressed out, however, and will likely do better if you give yourself more time to work on it.
66. Spend time with friends. There are few things that can cheer you up like being around the people you like most. Eat dinner with friends or just hang out and watch tv or take a walk to get away from the stress of homework.
67. Don't let yourself get run down. With so much to do, it's easy to get run down. If you feel yourself getting stretched too thin, take a step back and evaluate everything you've got going on to determine what's really important.
68. Learn time management skills. Time management skills will make everything from getting assignments done to managing work a lot easier. Read a book or check out advice on the internet, to help you better manage the hours of your day.

Mental Health
College students are in a high risk group for depression, so make sure you keep yourself happy and healthy with these simple tips.

69. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Many people feel embarrassed or ashamed to ask for help with their depression but this is unnecessary as it's a common and treatable problem that you don't have to deal with alone. Tap into campus resources to find help or tell a friend how you're feeling.
70. Keep in touch with family and friends. You can help beat homesickness and loneliness by keeping in touch with friends and family members.
71. Build new friendships. A big part of the college experience is meeting new people and forming new friendships so get out there and meet new people whenever possible.
72. Expect things to change. Things will change both at home and in your school life, so expect things to change over time. You will grow and so will the people around you.
73. Understand that it may take time to fit in. Most people don't make best friends on the first day of college. It takes time to build friendships, so don't get discouraged if you don't fit in right away.
74. Don't let stress get the best of you. Stress can be a major factor in many students' depression. If you're feeling stressed out make sure to take a break and set aside time to relax.
75. Realize you don't have to please everyone. There is no way that you can make everyone happy all the time. Concentrate on making yourself happy first and you'll cut out lots of stress and hassle from your life.
76. Know the signs of depression. It can be hard to differentiate a simple slump from serious depression so learn the signs of depression not only for your own benefit but for the benefit of your friends as well.
77. Build on your confidence. If you know you're good at certain things build on the confidence you take from these activities rather than concentrating on your faults.
78. Find strength in numbers. You may have an easier time feeling good and fitting in if you find a group of students who share similar interests and values as you.
79. Volunteer. Sometimes volunteering can give you a sense of satisfaction you can't get from work or class work, so get out there and help others in your community.
80. Get involved on campus. Joining clubs and social groups on campus can help you to meet new friends and keep you from feeling lonely or isolated.
81. Set goals. You'll be more motivated and positive if you give yourself goals to work towards throughout the school year.

Miscellaneous
Here are a few other tips to keep you a healthy and active college student.

92. Avoid walking to class in flip flops. While they may keep your feet cool and look good with your summer wardrobe, few flip flops provide the support needed for your feet. If you are walking long distances, it's best to leave the sandals at home and avoid the arch pain and pinching associated with them.
93. Keep backpacks from being too heavy. An overfilled backpack can hurt your back and leave you with some serious back and shoulder pain later. Make sure your backpack is properly fitted and avoid carrying around more than you need.
94. Quit smoking. No matter how much you may love the sweet thrill of a nicotine rush, the reality is that smoking just isn't good for you or anyone around you. Quit as soon as you can to save your lungs, heart, teeth and years of your life.
95. Don't drink and drive. If you drink, make sure not to get behind the wheel. Call a cab or get a sober friend to take you home instead.
96. Make sure you have emergency contacts. In case something does happen to you, make sure that the school and those around you know who to contact to get those you care about to you when you need their support.
97. Wear sunscreen. College kids on spring break aren't usually the first to whip out huge tubes of sunscreen to slather on. While getting a tan may prove you spent your break on a beach, it can also be a source of skin cancer, so make sure to protect yourself.
98. Ensure that your medical insurance covers physicians in the area. If you aren't going with your school's insurance plan, make sure that your parent's or your own insurance covers doctors in your area.
99. Monitor existing health conditions carefully. If you leave for college knowing you have a pre-existing medical condition, make arrangements to ensure that it's properly monitored while you're at school.
100. Be aware that health concerns differ for men and women. While men and women's anatomy is similar in many ways, some things that seem like they should be the same simply aren't. Educate yourself on the sex-specific aspects of wellness to keep yourself healthier and to know what to watch out for.
101. Assert yourself. Don't let anyone make health or wellness decisions for you that you feel uncomfortable with. If you don't want to eat that donut or have a drink, then don't.
