ols they will be able to determine their social footprint, find a potential career, and make life long friends. However, college is not all about fun and homework. In fact, there is a lot of contention that students find themselves in once Mom and Dad close the doors to the green 1997 Chrysler mini-van. And once that van becomes a speck at the end of the highway, the world can turn into a different place. It is different because we are now on our own. With them gone, we are forced to begin the treacherous climb up societies latter to accomplish our goals. Here is where we have no one to help us with the small things. Laundry, trash, homework, and social interaction are all determined by the hit or miss opportunities that present themselves to us everyday. Furthermore, we all have to worry about the one thing that plagues all college students around the nation: the FRESHMAN 15!All freshman loath the fact that this is even a statistic. According to CBCNews, Cornell University did a study that claims students progressively gain an average of 15 pounds from their high school graduation to the end of their first year of college, which makes freshmen (especially girls) talk about the statistic as if it were a venereal disease. Girls, I know it may be frightening that your torn up $200 True Religion jeans will probably not fit you the same way, but be nice about it.
This was taken from my blog last year; don't be this person.
~As I waited in line for my daily ice cream I heard a few incoming freshmen discussing their battle plans for fighting the fat that could potentially ruin them for the rest of their college career.They were in desperate need for some motivation, because as I contemplated the flavor I wanted I heard one of their squeaky voices say, "he obviously doesn't care about the freshman 15, because I see him there everyday at this time." Sad and disappointed, I decided to act like I didn't hear them and just move on. I ate my cookies and cream goodness and left.
For the rest of the day the freshman 15 haunted me.~I know, its sad right? I can imagine the Freshman 15 ending forever when something happens to all of the students like the scene from Stand By Me! Check out the link to see what I mean.
