Welcome to The College Wellness Guide!

2019. “New Year, New Me”. I’m sure we have all heard this inspiring motto before. This website will be following my journey to commit to a healthy and positive lifestyle while being a student at Rutgers University. As college students, it is extremely hard to stay healthy during the school year. My name is Blythe Taylor and I am currently a junior at Rutgers University. During my third year as a student here, I had a falling out with a friend group and my mental health. Because this happened I could have let it get me down and depress me, however I decided to chose to prioritize my mental health. At Rutgers University they provide many resources, but as a full time student, we seem to look over the resource provided. In this blog I will be highlighting all the resources that Rutgers University provides to live a healthy life as a student, as well as practices you can do on your own. I will go into depth on how your mental health can influence your physical health and vice-versa. Mental health is a huge topic for college students in today’s day and age. We as students, put so much pressure on ourselves for final exams, GPA, and still maintaining a social life. I have struggled with all of these things myself. As a student who has a major, two minors, is a dedicated member in her sorority, and also commits time to do philanthropic work on the weekend I have found that it is, indeed, hard to commit to living a healthy lifestyle. In this blog I will write individual posts on activities, recipes, applications, and guidelines that a college student should know and follow to live a healthy positive life. After my three years of being at Rutgers, I still have not mastered every part to living a healthy lifestyle, but I have managed to create a outline for my life. I hope you will join me as I continue this journey throughout one of my last semesters at Rutgers University.
