College students who work hard might tend to play hard, too. School can be filled with temptations that keep students from leading healthy lives: caffeine, junk food, late nights, partying. We know those habits aren't good for us, but why does school present so many temptations? In this episode of KUT's podcast Higher Ed, KUT's Jennifer Stayton and Southwestern University President Dr. Ed Burgerdiscuss balancing work and learning with health during school (and beyond).
You've probably been there: staying up all night, fueled by coffee and junk food, to finish a paper or cram for an exam. That's what college is about, right? Ed says it actually doesn't have to be that way. In this episode, he and Jennifer discuss some of the reasons behind the less-than-healthy habits we pick up in college and some strategies to avoid them in the first place. Click here to hear their discussion and to indulge in a healthy habit: trying to solve the latest puzzler.
