Rohan Giri is a freshman studying economics and environmental science at the University of Michigan, and he aims to share more about his love of different food and beverages. Growing up in Hillsborough, New Jersey, he was always surrounded and supported by the local South Asian community. It was this community that blessed him with the privilege of trying some of the best foods from his culture, including mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. Studying abroad during his first semester of college in Berlin, Germany, Rohan experienced the chance to not only discover his love of running, reading, and listening to EDM but also try different cuisines from eleven different cities across Europe. However, one beverage that propelled his studies throughout the semester was energy drinks, which he first started consuming during his shifts as a lifeguard at LifeTime. Through writing, Rohan hopes to tell his Celsius-fueled story.
