Who I am…
My name is Clare Geraghty, and I am a third-year college student at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, Calif. I am majoring in journalism, with a concentration in public relations.
Why I am blogging about health and wellness…
Let’s face it—maintaining a healthy lifestyle in college is easier said than done. As a student myself, I am all too aware of the difficulties of doing so. I, like many others, have fallen prey to the luring lights of fast-food drive-thrus. I have sacrificed sleep to meet class deadlines and have admittedly let my occasional laziness get in the way of my need for exercise.
However, the effects of these habits on my energy level (and waistline) have led to me recently recognize the importance of living healthfully. This blog serves as a guide for others to become more aware of simple ways to fit nutrition, sleep and exercise into their demanding lives. I hope to motivate other students to jump on the “health and wellness” bandwagon and join me in my efforts to continue practicing healthy habits.
