How to be a supportive girlfriend
Recognize when something is bothering them.
You need to pay attention not only to their words but also to their attitude and body language. Be aware when something seems to be bothering them.

OPTIONS:
- Try to avoid taking it personally when they are in a bad mood; chances are, it has nothing to do with you. Therefore, you should avoid making the situation worse by being rude or angry in return.
- When the two of you are in public, give them space and look for signs that it is bothering them. If they are arguing about something, try to find a way to defuse the situation.
- One good way to recognize when something is bothering someone is to pay attention to them. Are they trying to tell you something is wrong? Refrain from critiquing their body language.
- Recognize when they make fun of you, argue with you, try to guilt trip you into doing things that you would never do, push you away, or call you names. And, if something is bothering them, you have to address it.

How to diet while in college
Meet with an on-campus dietitian.
Many colleges have an on-campus dietitian, nurse, or other health professionals that can educate and guide you toward a healthy diet and weight. Take a walk over to your health department (or review their website) to see what services are offered to students.

OPTIONS:
- Work with the dietitian to find a meal plan that works for you. Consider your schedule, meal plans and dining options that you prefer.
- Make sure to talk to your doctor or medical professional as well. Most schools offer on-campus dietitians, who can be great referrals.
- Staff at most colleges also may be helpful when considering an on-campus dietitian. Drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid processed and sugary cereals and refined bread.
- Call the health department directly to make sure you meet at the right time and good time. Most health departments will charge a fee to introduce you to your department.

How to be indie (for guys )
Break free from conformity.
One of the most critical aspects to being indie is not adopting other people's views without evaluating the situation yourself. Going with the crowd is never something that an indie person would do, so make sure that you are making independent decisions when it comes to music, clothing, and your opinions.

OPTIONS:
- Understand how people may affect how you think about the music and related trends. Steer clear of the " what's indie, what's indie-animal " mentality.
- Do your research on different topics to help inform your opinions. If you like a band or musician, but everyone else thinks they are bad or weird, then you should stand up for your views.
- Never allow the messenger back into your life. If you are in a relationship with someone but they are choosing to change with you, leave the conversation.
- You don't have to assume how you will feel. What's more, you probably know a bit more about people who just want to blend in with their surroundings.
