Rachel is a freshman in college. She is living away from home for the first time. She lives in a small college town in West Virginia. There are not many places to hangout in town, so often Rachel and her friends head to Walmart to get away from the dorms. She’s not 21 yet and they can’t go out to bars so they spend a lot of time at Walmart. She was an athlete in high school but isn’t playing sports at college. She is trying hard to avoid the ‘freshman fifteen,’ but the gym at school is always packed.
