I'm really interested in health and nutrition & I feel that it should be of the utmost importance in everyday life. While flipping through the channels one day I discovered Dr. Oz's daughter, Daphne Oz. She wrote a book titles The Dorm Room Diet. This inspired me since I'm about to go to college, so maybe it will inspire you as well! Here are a few suggestions from the piece...

Unwritten

Hello all,
Right before walking across the stage at graduation our class was given a last bit of advice from a few coaches and our Bible teacher. They basically said that we are embarking on a whole new stage of life. After we cross the stage it is up to us to write the next chapter...I going off to college in less than a month & so the writing begins...
