Things to help you stay healthier at college.
• Wash your hands - often and well.  
• Shower at least daily- it will keep you healthier, those in contact with you happier.
Clean your room  
Reasons:  
• Your mother does not live here, so maid service is out.  
• As you enter your room, it reminds you of your old gym locker room.
• Dust mites are now visible to the naked eye.  
• You cannot find your parking permit, the paper you just finished, or the contact lens you dropped yesterday.
• The outdoor smell of the beet plant is perfume, compared to inside.
• Your laundry is starting to move itself closer to the door.
• The pizza boxes now cover your entire floor.
• The chances that Clean Sweep will do an episode are not.
• Drink plenty of healthy fluids - water, juice, milk and less caffeine.
• Take a multi-vitamin daily and take extra vitamin C - especially from foods.
• Cut down/quit smoking, chewing, will increase your immune system’s ability to fight disease.
• Cut down/quit drinking alcoholic beverages- not only healthier, but safer, - see the statistics from counseling services.
• Know your partner- and don’t share partners - see the chart.
• Get plenty of rest - any sleep before midnight counts extra toward good health.
