Hey Hannah
Hey Hannah, are there any group exercise classes available on campus?
Actually, you’re in luck! I’m currently teaching a Dance Cardio Class every Sunday and Tuesday starting at 7 p.m. in the Larson Lifestyle Center. If you’re looking for a great workout in a non-judgemental environment this is the class for you. Hope to see you there!
Hey Hannah, how do I get to know someone I’ve never talked to before?
Make opportunities to talk to them and find out what you have in common. If there are shared interests, ask them to hang out! Discover if there are any mutual friends between you two. If so, have them tag along as well! It may make for an easier and less stressful time.
Hey Hannah, where are the best eats in Lincoln?
In my opinion, some of the best places in Lincoln are Blue Orchid Thai in downtown Lincoln, De Leon’s, Mellow Mushroom and Bagels and Joe. There are many unique restaurants in Lincoln, especially in the Haymarket. If you do your research on Google, you’ll find many other places you’ve never even heard of before. I’d definitely suggest trying something new.
Hey Hannah, I have a problem with stress eating. Do you have any tips on how to stop?
It’s all about eating in moderation. We all have bad days; don’t put yourself down if you mess up every once in a while. Surround yourself with healthy options, and make the unhealthy options less accessible. In addition, exercise is a big stress reliever. Reevaluate the amount of exercise per week you’re getting and readjust your day-to-day schedule if you need to exercise more frequently. Exercise will help reduce stress and boost your confidence. The better you feel about yourself, the less likely you’ll stress eat.
Hey Hannah, I’m feeling bored with my life. How can I spice things up?
Try out a new hobby! You’ll surprise yourself with all the things you’ve never tried before. This can be anything from art, sports, photography, hiking or cooking. Do something you might not normally do, even if this means ordering something different at your favorite restaurant. You could also try volunteering somewhere to help others. There are several options in our community such as Lutheran Family Services, Ten Thousand Villages and the Asian Community Center! Gaining a new perspective can be all it takes to get you out of a funk.
