Maintaining a healthy routine proves difficult for some college students.
“When you’re working more than 30 hours a week and taking classes full-time, eating consistently is almost impossible,” said NE Campus student Heather Blodgett.

“I don’t have time to think about eating breakfast. I wake up, get ready to go, and I’m out the door,” said Nikki Frazier of NE Campus. “Sometimes, I’ll grab food while I’m out, but it’s easier to just get a Monster and go to class.”
