In this second part of a three-part series on transitions, we meet Ryan Randazzo. Like many kids his age, Ryan wanted to go out of state for college. But after weighing his options, he decided on the State University of New York at New Paltz, staying close to a CF center in case of an emergency. Ryan talks about the challenges of transitioning from high school to college, especially as it pertains to adjusting to a new schedule. He says some colleges will be flexible and accommodating to the needs of CF patients, but you should be sure to consult with your college about those options. Soon after getting to SUNY - New Paltz, Ryan was on his own, and very quickly learned the importance of maintaining your own schedule and having self-discipline when it comes to compliance. If you know you can go away to school with cystic fibrosis, he says, you can do anything in life.

Jillian shares a few tips about making that transition, and recalls the stress she felt when first told she would need to move into adult CF care.

Skylar from California asked Jerry the best way to move from stationary biking to cycling outdoors. The most important thing, to Jerry, is remembering the mantra ‘safety first.’ He gives a number of suggestions to make the transition as smooth and safe as possibly, including using the correct equipment, carrying plenty of H2O, and remembering sun protection. Watch the video to hear the rest of Jerry’s outdoor biking advice.
