My name is Maggie Ruppel. I am planning to major in Biology and possibly minor in Marine Science. I am from Aurora, Illinois, which is about an hour and a half west of Chicago. I love to play badminton for fun. I also love everything about being outside. I want to do something with animals and possibly be a zoologist or marine biologist as a career. I have a strong love for every type of animal and I am strangley fascinated with bugs and spiders. My relationship with food has always been a great one, and food has never let me down. My favorite foods are pasta, ice cream, and avacados, but not all together. I have always been a somewhat picky eater and I don't generally like to try new foods. Lately, I have been open to trying defferent types of food and I have been expanding my appetite.
