It’s all Ed Veistur’s fault, really. He’s the one who opened my eyes to the world of mountaineering.

How I did it
It made me
Happy! 
How I did it: I applied to 6 schools, was rejected from what I thought was my perfect fit, wait-listed by one I didn't want to go to at all, wait-listed at another that I thought was my second choice, and was accepted to 3 others.Ultimately, the school I chose is exemplifies what I believe to be the fabulous, perfect-fit school, and I can't wait to start college after my gap semester!

It made me
healthy and happy.
How I did it: I was training for a backpacking trip, so to keep myself constantly hydrated, I drank mostly water. During my expedition, water was all I drank. Since then, I've had a few more sodas than I would have liked to, but I don't enjoy the taste. If I want some liquid sugar, I opt for lemonade instead. Now I'm conditioning myself to stop drinking sugar altogether. I just want to be a healthier person. Read how I did it…
