Gaining Weight in College
We’ve all heard of the Freshman 15, but I am now implementing the College 20. Yes it is true, many freshman experience gaining a significant amount of weight in their first year of college. This is usually due to the unhealthy dining hall diet, lack of exercise and sports most of us have participated in high school and the new experience of college drinking. It is no wonder that the Freshman 15 was created.
What many people don’t realize or tend to overlook is that once freshman year ends the pounds don’t shed; in fact they tend to add up.
