Life Balance
Creating balance while you are at college can sometimes seem like an impossible feat. Making sure you have time management skills and knowing what you want out of your college experience can make all the difference in finding the perfect balance between school, work and socializing.
8 Dimensions of Wellness
College can feel overwhelming, but balance is possible. The 8 Dimensions of Wellness—emotional, physical, social, intellectual, spiritual, occupational, financial, and environmental—offer a roadmap. With time management and clarity on your goals, you can build a life that’s not just busy, but balanced and fulfilling. It’s not about perfection—it’s about what matters most to you.
Internet Use
Let’s be real, college life means lots of screen time. Between papers, lectures, and group projects, laptops and phones are essential. But with constant pings and distractions from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and chats, it’s easy to lose focus. Being intentional with your screen time can help. Set boundaries, mute notifications, and take breaks so your tech works for you, not against you.
Video Gaming
Pulled another all-nighter gaming? You’re not alone. Gaming can be a great way to relax, but too much can affect sleep, studying, and your well-being. Try setting limits like you would for studying. If it’s your main way to unwind or connect, explore other outlets—join a club, work out, or go to a campus event. Balance is key, and there are plenty of ways to stay healthy, social, and have fun.
Gambling
While gambling can be seen as a fun and innocent way to pass the time, making responsible decisions is vital. If you are of legal age to gamble in the United States, make sure you are making informed choices when to come to gambling. If you are underage, gambling can have serious legal and financial consequences.
