When Jackie Stone decided to become a vegetarian at the tender age of 12, she didn't have a lot of cooking experience to rely on.

"My first year or so [as a vegetarian], I lived off of cereal, quesadillas and veggie burgers," she said.

After years of practice, Stone gradually increased her repertoire of recipes, looking for new kinds of vegetables and protein substitutes that could be incorporated into healthy, easy-to-make meals. Stone not only adapted the vegetarian lifestyle, but she fell in love with cooking.

For seemingly obvious reasons, college websites don't tend to provide information on the hottest nightspots or where the cutest guys and girls congregate. However, that's not to assume that a lot of us wouldn't find this information helpful.

UC Davis graduates Michael Kim and Dan Greenberg solved this problem with yollege.com. Both said that they like to think of the website as an insider's guide to everything one needs to know about the college experience.

Editor's note: For this edition of 10 Questions, The California Aggie sat down with Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Fred Wood. Student Affairs encompasses various campus units that pertain to student life.
