An outside perspective needed
I'd like to get the opinion of my friends on MFP that will be able to give me an outside perspective, unlike my other friends. I haven't talked to my (former?) best friend since last November.

Being healthy in a college environment...
Leading a healthy lifestyle in college is extremely hard. Not so much because of all of the unhealthy food that is readily available, but because of all the alcohol!
