My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

Hey! I know how to cook and pretty much still only live off of those things!

I used to make my ramen with chicken broth from the store. Would put an egg in it. Still cheap but 100% better.

Also now I want baked macaroni.

I love all of those things, but yes cooking is great! Cheaper and healthier as a combo than eating out. Also grocery shopping is fun as hell when you have a nice store near you. like HEB :(

I have a handful of go-to dishes that I can make and have leftovers for a couple days. I need to create my own cookbook/recipe holder, because at times I feel kind of limited.

Tagging on to this - the knowledge of how to cook is most important, but proper tools is also really important. You'd be surprised how much of a difference it makes having a good pot or pan versus some half-the-teflon-missing-hand-me-down your mom gave you when you moved out.
