But even more so, unhealthy practices like eating junk food, not exercising regularly and not getting enough sleep can have the worst outcome on a students daily life.
“In college I pack myself full of vitamins. I grew up in Virginia and we get a lot of sun and light over there, which vitamin D comes from sunlight,” said Deanna Jones. Well during the winter months we don’t have much sunlight so I take a Vitamin D pill every morning to help jump start my system.”

“I starting drinking propel water. Just the flavor packets to flavor up my water to make sure I am drinking it. That has like 50% Vitamins across the board as opposed to the generic Walmart brand. So its worth the extra 50 cents to get the propel version just to make sure you are getting the electro lights you need and all vitamins you need. Because you need that to fight off any sort of cold or flu.” Said Deanna Jones, Resident student of Oswego
