Multivitamin for an 18 year old girl?

Hi everyone!
I'm an eighteen year old girl in college currently embarking on the journey to lose just a little weight (only about 5/10 pounds or so, the holidays were not kind to me!). I've been logging for about two weeks now and I love it, I'm already seeing a difference in the fit of my jeans and it's awesome! I'm 5'3" and currently about 130 pounds. I would say I walk about 2 miles a day two and from classes at a moderate to brisk pace, mostly uphill. And I'm currently eating as healthy as I can on my meal plan as well as mainly produce, veggies, and grains I purchase from the Wegman's nearby.
That being said, I'm in college, and while I supplement my meal plan food with purchases from Wegman's, I feel like maybe I should be on a multivitamin? I doubt the cafeteria salads and proteins are fulfilling all my needs. My mom suggested I start on one and I was not even sure where to begin. The last multivitamin I took I stopped taking years ago because it made me nauseous (I believe it was One a Day for teen girls, and most of the time I'd feel absolutely awful after taking it).
Can anyone recommend a good multivitamin for an 18 year old to have? I'm not really knowledgeable on the whole vitamin thing and any advice would be helpful!

Hi! I'm also a college student (21, female) and I take CVS Brand's Women's Daily Multivitamin. They also make one "for active women" which has green tea extract, supposedly to boost your metabolism...who knows! But I really like the CVS Women's Daily. I have a sensitive stomach and it doesn't bother me.0

I suggest a prenatal even if you don't have any plans for children any time soon. You could add in extra vitamin D if you live someplace without a lot of sun.0

I like the GNC Womens Ultra Mega one with Hair, Skin, and Nails complex0

Just get the cheapest regular women's multi you can find. They're all fine assuming you don't have a specific deficiency.0

Nope, no deficiencies! Well as far as my doctor and I know! Haha.0
