A college student's life is full of variables. Tackling many classes at once to receive numerous assignments requires an abundance of time, energy, and focus. Finding time to do much else can be a big struggle. 
 
It’s an irrefutable fact that we all must eat. The appeal of cooking and or meal prepping becomes muddled, as students may not have the time required to do so. What many people might consider simple, making and preparing meals can often become overwhelming to college students. Ordering food from restaurants and other fast-food establishments becomes an all too appealing option. Unhealthy lifestyle choices then become commonplace. While looking at the issue from a college student’s perspective; one can see the perceptions, expectations, and concerns college students have. 
 
After taking the opportunity to interview a few college students on Meal Prepping, one can start to see the effects being a college student has on their ability to stay healthy via the foods they eat.

Perceptions
Meal Prepping can be very daunting; all the food you must prep and all the planning going into it. The perceptions of college students will kill any attempt to meal prep if they perceive mealprepping negatively.
 
While doing research, I had the opportunity to interview a few college students to receive their input on the matter. One interview, in particular, stood out the most.

“I don’t want to. It’s so much work. I don’t know what to make and how many ingredients I’ll need to make it” (Mr. Lawson).

Their concerns are valid. To keep costs low, one must understand how to budget this expense in the first place. The knowledge of how much different foods cost and how to manage that cost is vital.
​
How can we help?
By understanding “college students” needs and concerns, one can start to see what needs to be done. Students need to be better versed in the mundane. How do groceries work? What options do I have? How can I keep my costs down? How can I manage time to better suit me? After the fundamental aspects of food knowledge are attained, implementing tricks to keep to a schedule and plan when it comes to food will be more effective and helpful in the long run.

My initial perception of his voice through his art is being light, descriptive, passionate, imaginative, feeling of air; almost poetic. Reading the article, "The Power of Great Paintings" from UrbanMilwaukee, I see more into Mrozinski's voice as a writer. 

Mrozinski’s voice feels like a mirror to his personality. Without knowing him, through his writing I begin to see a person behind these words. His own art, light and fluffy; like watching a breeze blow by, illuminated and soft. His voice is descriptive, passionate, imaginative and light. He writes with his words and not the words of an essay. 

“My heart raced as I showed the attendant my ticket and entered the first gallery of “A Modern Vision: European Masterworks from The Phillips Collection” at the Milwaukee Art Museum.” (UrbanMilwaukee.com) 

This sentence alone paints an entire scene. Mrozinski’s voice is unlike to a childs energy. Full of emotion but more reserved. With this example we get a sense of passion. 

“Through Chardin’s masterful touch and use of soft and hard edges, the still life becomes a landscape. The haziness of the vase contour behind the sharpness of the peach creates space like a distant mountain range on a foggy day.” (UrbanMilwaukee.com)

Mrozinski’s use of diction is striking. His wording is light and effective. The more I read, the more I feel excited for the context he is writing about; almost like I’m going to see the art myself. 

A passionate man writes how he feels. With every sentenceI read I felt the person behind those words. Light, passionate, descriptive, imaginative and more.
