This is a guest post written by an 18-year old.
Recently, I have come in contact with more people than I ever imagined. I moved to a new city (The Big Apple), and also started college there.
You’re probably thinking, wow that’s a lot of people..and germs. Well, maybe not exactly that, but something like it. In meeting so many people you see similarities and differences in personality, accents, and most of all, you notice the personal choices that people make.
Almost everything you do is a personal choice, wether you are conscious of it or not.
With that in mind, the more people I meet the more common I see this personal choice being made without any thought about the ramifications: doing something wrong and perceiving it as acceptable and normal.
During my first two years of college I ate a lot. I gained 30 pounds and wore a size 14.
