Freshman 15

People think that the "freshman 15" is just a college hoax, but in reality it actually happens to many freshman in college. The freshman fifteen, for all who haven't heard of it before, is when freshman students in college gain fifteen pounds during the year. Gaining weight in college does not mean that freshman aren't active and just sit around. It could be from a lot of different sources. For example, stress, in college students are finally living on their own, so they could be stressed from missing their family or from their studies, staying up late and not getting enough exercise. It could also come from the social events that are happening everywhere on the college campus almost everyday. Some liquids such as beer and so forth have way more carbohydrates than other drinks, so my advice would be to try sticking to as much water as possible, even though we all know beer is a popular drink at these social activities. The food on a college campus is known to be amazing. Students have access to any type of food they want twenty four-seven. That means if they are craving a slice of apple pie at three in the morning they can walk down to the dining hall and purchase it on their card. It's not hard to eat a lot in college and sometimes that could turn into quite the pounds, but colleges also give access to a public twenty four-hour gym, so it gives many students opportunities to keep in good shape and relieve stress! There are so many ways to avoid the freshman fifteen, so break the hoax and keep looking good! Here is a video on tips to avoid the freshman fifteen with a nutritionist.

Social

Meeting new people in college can be one of the most exciting and the most nerve racking things. Especially having no idea who will be your new room mate for the next year. Will this person become a best friend or will they become an enemy? Everyone has a best friend or someone they hate to leave from high school. It's always so sad to watch someone so close move so far away, but its exciting to start a new life at the same time. When being in high school they give teens many clubs to choose from to keep busy and to stay involved. Meeting friends is a lot easier while being in high school because a lot of kids have grown up with the people they pass in the hallways. College is a scary place for many incoming freshman. They barely know where anything is and have no one to walk around with to meet people. That's why getting in clubs in college are crucial. College clubs and activities is one thing I would personally never pass up. Greek life is one major student activity I would hate to miss. Sororities are an awesome way to meet friends and to have fun! College has it's up and downs, but everything will be better by getting involved with student organiztions and clubs.

high school vs college

High school and college are two way different worlds! Many of us go straight to college with one major thought "freedom at last", but do we really think about the other sides of college that high school never taught us? For example, how to get along with a psycho dorm mate or how to cram a twenty-four hour session from one chapter for our midterm the next morning? Maybe it's just just part of the responsibility of being an adult and living in our "free world". High school has many perks to it that college does not have, but over all its just the personality of the person that makes college or high school a good thing or a bad thing. It's differences may not phase one like it will another because maybe that person has had a brother or sister who've been there and done that to give them advice on what to look forward to, which could be extremely helpful to someone. High school is a time for many to remember back at the wonderful times they had with being and feeling like a kid still because those individuals don't have a clue how wonderful it is to just be a teenager with no responsibilities what so ever.
