"Dietetics is the integration and application of principles derived from several disciplines—including nutrition, biochemistry, physiology, food science and composition, management, food service, and the behavioral and social sciences—to achieve and optimize human health. Dietetic professionals translate the scientific evidence regarding human nutrition and use that information to help shape the food intake or choices of the public." - American Dietetic Association

I'm still learning about what everything will really entail, and what I need, where I will go, etc. I start classes this coming Monday, and I'm super excited. I've been on break for a long while for health issues- hard to regret, as those same health issues have inspired me to go into nutrition.

I started off after high school studying Graphic Art. But the more I had to draw and meet deadlines, the more I realized I would really hate being forced to be creative on ideas that don't interest me. I'm keeping art as a hobby, though my relatives still harass me to return to Art lol. Then it was Computer Science- I'm a logical thinker, but when I met the people in the field and saw the work they did, it was boring to me. That's when I began having a lot of health problems, and took a break to get better.

I got so interested in fitness and nutrition; I was toying with the idea of a personal trainer, but the idea of working in a hospital somewhere and working with a wider range of people seemed interesting to me. As I said, I'm still learning a lot about it, but the more I do, the more excited I become, and I just wanted to share that.
