Major: Economics
"Being healthy means respecting my body. It doesn't necessarily equate to how someone sees my body, but to my overall view of myself and feeling good about being in my own skin."
Major: Plan II and Psychology
"Being healthy means to purposely try to do things that will benefit your body and mind. The impacts of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, even after just a few days, are tremendous."
Major: Public Health
"I am a Healthyhorn because I try my best to take care of my body and maintain a positive body image, while sharing my knowledge of health and wellness with my peers."
Major: Fine Arts and Radio, Television and Film
"Being healthy means keeping a positive attitude about your body but also your mind. How the mind and body react throughout a given day depend on how you treat both. Being healthy means that you are conscious of what makes your body and mind happy and living each day to keep those positive vibes flowing."
Major: Biology
"I'm a Healthyhorn by living a healthy lifestyle and helping others learn how they can live a healthier lifestyle. I stay healthy by making sure I'm eating right and drinking a lot of water. I also make sure to find time to work out and get at least 8 hours of sleep."
Major: Nutritional Sciences/Pre-Medicine
"I am a Healthyhorn because I want to share my love for healthy living with my peers. As a Nutritional Science/Pre-Medicine major, I am continuously surrounding myself with knowledge about nutrition, fitness, and everyday wellness. I have an incredible passion to share what I know and to keep learning. Healthyhorns allows me to combine all of the aspects of healthy living, and teach others how to connect these dots."
Major: Health Promotion
"Being healthy means taking care of yourself in every aspect: physically, mentally, and emotionally. Health is something learned through education, environment, and practice. Once accumulated into everyday life, health becomes a part of who you are, and doesn't feel like a chore, but an uplifting practice."
Major: Nutrition and Dietetics
"Being healthy means that I have the knowledge and ability to make the right choices for myself every day because I know they will benefit me."
