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.
