When in college, we often think right away, what kind of groceries can I buy for a cheap price?  When we ask ourselves that, we think of things like fast food, ramen noodles, etc.  Although they may be cheap, they definitely aren’t healthy and nutritious.  It is very important that you get your vitamins and minerals, especially when in college.  We are so busy, are usually stressed out, are low on sleep, and are staying up every minute we can to study.  When we have busy schedules like that, our immune systems weaken tremendously, and need all the help they can get.
