1. Read some books.

There’s no better way to start adopting the minimalist lifestyle than by buying one of the many new books on the topic. My favorite is the classic, Minimalism: Live A Meaningful Life by the original minimalists themselves, Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus. The book is a perfect, concise introduction to the minimalist lifestyle, and helpful tips aside, it’s a fun and entertaining read.

Words by Kelsey Tidball

We’ve all heard that old adage “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” But what if emptying our cups a little bit is actually the key to living a more healthful, rewarding life? Now, I’m not saying you should deplete your emotional or mental resources. But what if that cup had less useless stuff in it? Imagine it: fewer pairs of jeans we have never worn.

Fewer pieces of furniture that make our apartment feel cramped and congested.

Less clutter, chaos and calamity. If the sound of that made your heart rate slow a little and your over-saturated brain went quiet, minimalism might just be your move for the new year. If you are thinking about living a more minimalistic 2018, here are some of our favorite minimalism tips and resources.

2. Donate your clothes.

One of the most significant steps forward in the minimalism lifestyle starts in your closet. True minimalists focus on tailoring their wardrobe until they only have a handful of classic, staple pieces, but my favorite tip? Comb through your closet and get rid of anything you haven’t worn in the past year. If you haven’t worn it this year, odds are you never will. Bring those items down to Goodwill or the Salvation Army, or bring your nicer items to Buffalo change for cash or trade.

3. Clean out the kitchen.

Have you ever opened your kitchen cabinets and had what felt like a mountain of pots, pans, and dishes pour out on top of you? Here’s a little newsflash: you don’t actually need six saucepans or 18 bowls. Odds are, you only really need one saucepan, a medium-sized pot and four or five bowls. I can guarantee that having all that extra cookware in your drawers is stressing you out, and the dishes are piling up every few hours because you have too many options. Imagine having to wash the pan every time you use it because you just don’t have another one. Wouldn’t that be so much cleaner, nicer and less cluttered?

4. Keep a journal.

If you’re really going head on into the minimalism lifestyle, it might be smart to record your thoughts and experiences on paper. Buy a journal and make a point to sit down every evening to sort out your day, reflect on your thoughts, and empty your brain of the clutter it inevitably accumulates throughout the day before you go to sleep. Minimalism doesn’t stop at things. The lifestyle is also all about keeping you sane, peaceful and productive.

e’ve all heard the typical New Year’s resolutions—and we’ve all seen their outcome, too. The first week of January can be borderline chaos for the local gyms, health food stores and jogging paths. Many of us know from learning the hard way that these resolutions aren’t always as easy to keep as expected. After all, just keeping track of one pencil over the course of a term can be a challenge at times. Check out these ten resolutions for college students that you’ll actually be able to keep in 2018.

Study at least 24 hours before the actual exam Now bear with us—this may sound ludicrous but it will actually really help, we promise! Even if it’s just a day or two in advance, picking up the book and skimming the material a few times will do more for your test scores than you expect—and no, sleeping with the textbook under your pillow doesn’t count. Explore the EMU upper levels for hidden study spots or check out the atriums in Allen and Lillis for a quiet, scenic location.

Don’t go out literally every night

Even if it’s just a night or two, staying in and having “you nights” every once in a while will help your dayto-day life and even enhance your remaining party days. Opt for Taco Tuesday in your own kitchen or start the trend Water Wednesday with a decent bedtime to match. You’ll watch your eye bags fade away—well, a little bit at least.

Drink more water, or just less beer

We know that this one may be harder for some than others, so this is a sort of sliding scale resolution.

Whether you’re buying a 30-ounce Hydro Flask to chug three times a day or simply downgrading from a twelve rack to a six, adding some good ol’ H20 to your diet is sure to make for a new, better you. (Bonus tip: if you don’t have one already, the Duck Store has a few sizes for great prices!)

Attend class more than twice a week

Taking note? Staying awake? Pish posh! Getting to class and sitting your behind in that seat is the first, most important step. Experiment new ways to make the process easier, like wearing your clothes for the next day to bed or camping out with a sleeping bag in the lecture hall itself.

Refrain from eating Chipotle every day

Even the most strong-willed among us struggle when faced with the pangs of hunger and an $8.99 burrito slathered in sour cream and salsa—but for your own sake, just try. Pack your own loaded burritos from home to save a few extra dollars or opt for a salad instead. If you’re not ready to give it up all the way, ask for your burrito in a bowl rather than the tortilla to shave off a few calories.

Talk to at least one person a day

No, Siri or your life-sized Joe Keery cutout doesn’t count. Saying thank you when someone opens the door or giving your mom a FaceTime call to let her know you’re alive will help humanize your day and pump some energy into your usual zombie-like state. Bonus: If you’re feeling really risky, say hello to the person you sit next to in lecture—it’s wild.

Get one less espresso shot in your Starbucks

It would be obscene to try to eliminate the trendy coffee shop from your diet entirely, so this resolution is a little more realistic. Whether this lowers you to an eight shot or a decaf, it’ll help with the caffeine-induced twitches. We promise that vein in your eye will get less red.

Sleep a minimum of 8 hours…sometimes

From chronic insomnia to staying out until 2 a.m., this can be a reach to accomplish, and we get that. Try to designate a day or two where you really commit to a good night’s rest to help boost your energy for the rest of the week. Light the aromatherapy candles, turn off the screens and crank out on a Monday.

Do more at the gym than take selfies

Admittedly, the mirrors are huge and the lighting is fantastic so it would be cruel to cut out selfies entirely. It is important to note that the recreation center also has state of the art exercise equipment and facilities that are totally open for student use—who knew?

Promise to eat less microwavable food

While miniature corn dogs and chicken pot pies are totally justifiable cravings, it’s not exactly a lifestyle to sustain for years at a time. Try to incorporate some vegetables or general green stuff into your diet once in blue moon to spice it up. PSA: Kraft mac ’n’ cheese is only 99 cents and that’s not so bad either.

Words by Delaney Rea

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: “I gave up on my New Year’s resolution after a week.”

If you can’t relate, you probably never made one in the first place.

While each new year inspires selfevaluation, it’s harder said than done to set the right resolution.

This quiz will point you in the right direction when choosing a resolution—and maybe even help you keep it, too.

1. What gets in the way of your productivity?

3. Which of these best describes your Winter Break?

A. Getting enough sleep.

B. My tendency to daydream.

C. I lack the funds necessary.

D. Nothing. I’m completely on track!

A. Binge-watching “Black Mirror” and eating leftovers.

B. Contemplating the passage of time.

C. Depleting savings to buy gifts for loved ones.

D. Being generally bored to death.

2. What’s your social life like?

4. When not studying, what do you enjoy?

A. Partying 24/7.

B. I’m a homebody.

C. My friends dine out; I dine on Top Ramen.

D. Who has time for that?

Time to get healthy! Whether you’re not sleeping enough or skipping exercise, there’s a void of healthy habits in your life.

Don’t waste time moping around! Make the most of life— put yourself out there. Changes big and small bring actualization.

Check your pockets. Are they empty? If so, you might be clueless about how to use your funds.

You might be overworking yourself with school obligations— or letting yourself slip into routine boredom.

Join a PE class like yoga or rock climbing.

Explore travel opportunities like study abroad programs.

Pursuing a new hobby, simply for the joy of it, gives life meaning.

Cut down on sweets. Consider using a “cheat day” each week.

Invite a friend you haven’t seen in a while to lunch or drinks.

Create a monthly budget—and stick to it, to the best of your ability.

Quick Tips Daily Fitness Changes 1. Bike to Class

2. adventure Sunday

3. choose the stairs

If you’re anything like me, your bike may have been cooped up in your storage unit for all of college (whoops). Let’s pull out our cobwebcovered machines and bike to class on rainfree days. Fresh air, plus a quick scenic tour of Oregon’s greenery on your way to class? Doesn’t sound like a bad time to me! Just don’t forget your sturdy bike lock before you head out.

Something that my roommate and I implemented for the new year is Adventure Sunday. Depending on the weather, we dedicate our Sunday evenings to hiking, snowboarding or even just a walk through the park. What we love most about this is that we are able to see many parts of Oregon before we graduate. Our time in Eugene is limited, so we figure we should get outside while we can.

It may seem too simple, but whether you’re headed to class or work, opting for stairs instead of the elevator is a great way to add in a few extra steps to your day. I’m a firm believer that even little changes can lead into big results.

Finding the Perfect

Workout Regimine You may have heard your friends making fun of CrossFit, but just hear me out for a minute.

This is a workout designed to work for both the couch potato and olympic athlete — or anyone in between! The UO Rec Center offers unlimited classes of Webfoot Crossfit at $150 per term. You can purchase a pass at the service center or welcome desk. If you live off campus, most CrossFit gyms offer student discounts, as well. Lane 5 Crossfit

by The Hub offers a student discount at $115 per month. Drop in for free to try it out on Saturdays at 10:15 a.m. If you live closer to Valley River, try Eugene CrossFit. You can call them at 541-653-6299 to schedule a free one-hour introduction session.

A Group X membership was a life-saver for me during my freshman year of college. I didn’t know where to start with working out on my own at the gym, and I knew I needed a trainer to push me and ensure I was doing all the movements properly. It’s easy to do movements incorrectly, and nothing is worse than trying to lift on your own and pulling a muscle or training your body to move in an unhealthy way that takes years to correct. Group X offers a wide variety of exercise programs from yoga to cycling to body sculpting, and each course is led by a student trainer. Drop by any Friday at 4 p.m. for a free workout or get a membership at the front desk of the Rec Center.

For some, hitting weights right off the bat may seem super intimidating. Maybe you need a workout that challenges your flexibility, strength and stress levels all at once. If this is you, starting with a light yoga workout is a great way to ease into conquering your 2018 fitness goals. The university offers yoga classes for one credit each, but these classes typically fill up fast.

Try dropping into a free Friday Group X yoga workout, and mark your calendars for a spring yoga class if you can’t find an open seat for this winter. Bonus tip: bring a friend!

In my experience, it’s easier to get a group of friends to a lighter workout than trying to drag them to CrossFit or weightlifting.

It’s that time of year again when you have to decide if it’s worth it to keep living with your current roommates. This guide will help you decide if you should continue living with your current roommate or bail for greener pastures. Plus, tips on resigning a lease are included to make the transition smoother. So, should you remain in your current apartment or should you live elsewhere?

Words by Lauren Bruce

Maybe you’ve never lived off campus before, or maybe you’re just trying to decide if you want to put up with your iffy landlord next year. Whatever the case, deciding where to live is never too easy. Before you do anything, take into consideration these questions: Does another apartment complex give you a better bang for your buck?

Some apartment complexes seem to be pricier based just on their rent, however, you may find that utilities are included in your rent price. Additionally some complexes, like Skybox, will cap your electric bill, so you never end up going over a certain cost no matter how much power you use. And during the cold winter term, this can REALLY make a difference. The time of year that you apply can also make a price difference!

Signing a lease during early fall term could possibly get you a cheaper price, since complexes will try and fill up remaining apartments for the year.

However, applying during spring term can also get you a better deal, so be on the lookout for different promotions.

Are you happy with your current commute to campus?

If you’re coming from the dorms, this answer is most likely a resounding “yes,” however, unless you’ve decided to live in the dorms a second year, you’re going to have to make some sort of commute compromise. And for those who live in a residence on the south side of campus (like I currently do), you may be tired of trekking through the dorm side every day to get to your classes.

ditch the roomies Yeah, sounds like you may need a new roommate!

Disrespect towards each other’s property or lack of communication between two people can really fester an uncomfortable living environment. You may be great friends, but this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve been a great fit as roommates. In deciding who you’ll ask to be your roommate next year, be sure to consider how well you two problem solve, not just how well you get along.

What kind of accommodations would you be willing to pay a higher price for?

perfect fit You and your roommate are a great fit! You don’t always like the same things, but you can compromise and communicate when there is an issue which is essential when you’re living together. Keep them around!

Some places are a great deal, but are located farther from campus like Duck’s Village which has a bus that runs directly to campus for those without a car or bike. However, if proximity to campus is a dealbreaker for you, then you may need to consider a pricier complex like Uncommon, which is conveniently closer to campus. Chase Village apartments can accommodate those who like the idea of having a fireplace for colder Eugene nights, while The Hub offers a rooftop pool to cool you down spring term.

Clean Eating on a budget Words and photos by Sierra Pedro

As winter continues, bundling up with a hot mocha, eating mac ‘n’ cheese for every meal and parking yourself in front of the TV for the entirety of Winter Term might sound tempting—especially during stressful midterms. When searching for healthy alternatives for the new year, indulging in comfort foods may leave us with an inner battle. Luckily for us, most Eugene restaurants offer a multitude of healthy comfort food options. For vegan, non-GMO options, I recommend trying Laughing Planet Cafe, Cornbread Cafe or Lotus Garden Vegetarian Restaurant. For those who don’t eat out regularly, the good news is that with just a few substitutions, you can indulge in delicious homemade comfort food without compromising any new year’s health resolutions. We even have a few suggestions worthy enough for a strict paleo diet that excludes dairy, sugar and grains. Here are a few easy, clean-eating tips and recipes that won’t break the bank.

The “Sunday Morning” Breakfast Breakfast Hash Skillet This is my personal all-time favorite breakfast for those lazy mornings when I have an hour to prepare a meal. To make this dish, you’ll need to invest in an iron skillet. Fry some potatoes and breakfast turkey sausage with onion, garlic and spices. I prefer using sweet potatoes, but any potato variety will do. Add two eggs on top and bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes until the egg whites gloss over. Add some avocado, salsa or verde sauce before serving.

The “on-the-go” Breakfast Banana Pancakes Flourless, paleo-approved pancakes are incredibly simple and quick. Mash one large banana and two eggs together, then add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract and a dash of cinnamon. Then, choose your topping: maple syrup, strawberries and blueberries are the traditional spread, or almond butter and bananas work great for a paleo version.

This, Not That

Healthy Substitution Tips • Instead of pasta noodles, try roasted spaghetti squash or spiralized zucchini noodles.

• Instead of russet potatoes, try sweet potatoes for recipes like fries, hash browns and potato chips.

• Instead of candy, try satisfying your sweet tooth by freezing grapes, blue––berries or vanilla yogurt bites.

• Instead of store-bought pasta sauces, try making your own by mixing one can tomato paste with two cups of water and adding oregano, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper to taste.

• Instead of cooking with vegetable or canola oil, try olive oil or organic and unrefined coconut oil.

The “paleo” appetizer Bacon-wrapped Brussel Sprouts Doing dinner with friends can be difficult during times of strict eating. Fortunately, there’s one food most everyone can’t resist: bacon. Wrap brussel sprouts in bacon strips (for the healthiest version, purchase uncured, lean bacon at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods), place in an iron skillet, season with a pinch of cayenne pepper and bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until crispy, then stick a toothpick in each one and place on a party platter.

You’re on your own now and nobody can tell you not to eat the junk food right at your disposal. To help keep you on track of your New Year’s health resolution, here are some of the healthy alternative meals you can choose from in the dining halls.

like really real

is real Words by Michaela Barnes

Hamilton Acai bowls are great healthy breakfast options you can find at the Common Grounds Café. A 12-ounce bowl is four points ($5.25) or there is a 16-ounce bowl for six points ($8.75). While there are four bowls to choose from, the Health Nut Bowl is a good choice for anyone looking for a healthy breakfast.

Also located in the Common Grounds Café for only four points ($6.95) is the Club Panini, a turkey sandwich on ciabatta bread. Not only is it a tasty sandwich, it’s packed with 29 grams of protein and only 417 calories. The club panini is also available in the Puddles Café located in Barnhart Hall.

GLobal Scholars Need a quick breakfast because you woke up late? Try the Immunity Smoothie from the Fresh Market Café for only three points ($4.75).

It’s a smoothie comprised of strawberries, raspberries, mango, lime juice and apple juice.

At only 131 calories, it’s tasty, healthy and filling.

Barnhart Not enough time to get to class and you need some type of sustenance? Try the Pineapple Carrot Splash Smoothie. It’s not only vegan and gluten free, it’s also quite tasty and it helps you get your veggies in at only 190 calories and one gram of fat. Smoothie ingredients include pineapple, bananas, carrots, orange juice and lemon for only three points ($4.75).

The Anti-Burger, a veggie burger, is a great choice for anyone looking for a healthier burger alternative at only 150 calories and four points ($6.95).

Dux Bistro Created on a ciabatta bun and filled with tomato and garlic pesto, zucchini, artichoke and mozzarella, the roasted veggie sandwich is a great choice for anyone looking to add more vegetables into their diet. The roasted veggie sandwich is four points ($6.95) with only 372 calories and 14 grams of protein.

Packed with 37 grams of protein, three carbs and only 276 calories is the Shoyu Chicken Bowl. The Shoyu Bowl is comprised of teriyaki chicken with a pineapple sauce and rice. It is also only three points ($4.75).
