Beverly, MA—McKenna Darr, a student at
Endicott College, released a blog recently about nutritional patterns of
college students. The blog features a variety of content anywhere from “What’s in a College Student’sRefrigerator”, to tips on how college students can save money at the
grocery store. Expert views from a local nutritionist can be found on the blog,
as well as views from students on the Endicott campus.
The inspiration
for this blog came from McKenna noticing changes in college students’ diets,
and her curiosity as to why things change when students moves out of their
parents’ house and move to college. There are articles in her blog that discuss
nutrition and children, and how they are influenced at a young age, essentially
determining their diet as they develop into teenagers.
The blog contains
articles that can help college students with “how-to” make a meal in a
student’s room with just supplies one would find in a dorm room. McKenna even
follows a student around for the day to study her diet, and compares the foods
that she eats with a recommended diet. She shares information that college
students might not be aware of as they head off to college.
McKenna is
interested in expanding her blog and looks to continue writing about nutrition
at Endicott. As long as students are willing to talk to her about their experiences
and ways of life at school, she will listen, with her camera in hand to
document the stories.
From listening to
a few vegetarians on a campus full of meat eaters, to giving some simple tips
for shopping, McKenna includes it all on her blog “What’s in a College Student’s Refrigerator?”
