Financial Wellness

This blog post is about financial wellness. According to the first point in Matt Battaglia's blog (http://andreabcreative.wordpress.com/2013/03/27/the-core-of-financial-wellness/) I am making the number one financial mistake a college student can make: nothing. I havent ever wanted to educate myself on finances. I do know some about this from my mom and from watching the Clark Howard show sometimes. In the future I dont see myself taking the time to read any financial blogs.
The second point is knowing the importance of having good credit.  I have learned the importance of having good credit from the commercials for "Free Credit Report.com". I have asked people when I was wondering what it was and got the basic run down of what credit is.
The next point was to get a credit card and learn how to use it wisely. My math teacher in fifth grade told my class to never get credit cards and that they will make you lose all your money. If that is true then why does everyone have one? I see the usefulness of them and how they speed up checking out at Hobby Lobby or quickly leaving BWs at half-time to make it home for the rest of the game. On most other occasions I prefer to use other ways to pay. 

Physical Activity

In class we took a test that judged us in our """"life choices"""". The test included many questions from many different categories. According to the test I am best in Physical Activity. I can say that I expected that to be the one but this is only because I run year round on the XC and track team. If it were not for that I would not be that good at physical activity. I do not think that it was an accurate test of my """life choices""" because I dont make the choice to workout, my coach does. If I was going to try to help someone be better in this category, the one way I could help them would be to tell them to become good enough at a sport that you play at a competitive level where you are forced to be in great shape. If this person didn't have the determination or was just really bad at sports I would tell them to find an activity that they love and can keep loving it after doing it everyday, sometimes twice a day, for hours. If I were not on the team I would have a score in that category of two. Which would be one of my lowest and creativity and self expression would be the highest. This an interesting name for this category it looks more like a Are you depressed? test. Who would say no to "I want to live to be at least 80+ years old" or any of the other weird ones.
