and a little bit of leeway won't ruin an entire diet. Fortin recommends using the website, My- Plate.gov — used by the USDA — to help make dietary decisions.
"There are a couple key messages behind this graphic — making half your plate fruits and vegetables, switching to low fat or fat-free dairy and making at least half of your grains whole grains," Fortin said.
Fortin also said that students should work to surround themselves with healthier options. Small changes, including choosing whole grains instead of refined, or choosing frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, can make a huge difference.
EXERCISE
Planning ahead is not essential forever, but when trying to build a routine or reach a goal it is important to helping you stay on track.
"Once the steps are taken to plan out weekly meals and weekly workouts it will slowly get built into a routine, which will translate to a lifestyle change," Fortin said.
Activity levels change when students come to college; many stop playing sports or don't make enough time to get in a little exercise. Russell plans out which days of the week she can make it to the recreation center because she is more likely to work out if it is in her schedule. Maase, on the other hand, doesn't plan working out from week to week, but does prefer to work out in the mornings just in case he gets too tired or busy at the end of the day.
"Nutrition and physical activity work together when it comes to staying healthy." Fortin said.

In addition to diet and exercise, keeping your environment clean will help your health. Over-exposure to harsh chemicals and everyday germs can inhibit any nutrition and exercise goals if you are not aware. Being healthy is truly a lifestyle choice because everything you do attributes to it.

"We want boats to call our own, under our own control, instead of working with people who already had boats," said Kyle Kaplan, sophomore naval ROTC officer candidate, from Wildwood, Fla.

“It's nice when our freshmen get here, they are kind of scared to go out and do anything, their lives are more strict than other college students, being in the ROTC, and so it gives them a fun activity to do on the weekends in a relatively safe environment,” Bishop said.
