Introduction: 
The transition from high school to college is different for everybody: friends change, towns change, and classes change. In my life, I made certain to keep one thing constant though, my passion for living a healthy life. I’m a very involved student at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and I just finished my freshman year where I am majoring in Nutrition Science, minoring in Chemistry and Spanish with an emphasis in Pharmacy.
