– Caroline R.

“I exercise and play racquetball with friends.”
– Neil F.

“Winter is great! I go downhill and cross-country skiing with friends.”
– Dan P.

“I work out and study with friends.”
– Kate E.

“I take long runs and pretend it’s a sunny, 80-degree day.”
– Sam R.

“I reorganized my entire room to get excited (or try to get excited) about going back to school.”
– Katie K.

“I look forward to Badger basketball. Nothing is more motivational than a fired-up Bo Ryan.”
– Joanna K.
