    It's hard to say this to someone who's in college bc it's what everyone does, but drinking/ partying/ smoking weed... all in excess is what makes ppl gain weight that first year. Just do you and remember as long as you don't over indulge yourself in these things, then it'll be a lot easier to keep up on staying fit :smile:
  • College is a really difficult time because so many people are used to being at home and being in an environment where someone else is buying the food and someone else is dictating how much you do or don't exercise. The key to dodging the freshman 15 is personal control and responsibility.

    On top of what the others have said, one of the keys to is keep stress levels managed. That comes down to managing your time well. Get a planner, write everything down, and try not to put all of your papers off until the last minute.

    Conversely, continuing to exercise and eat as well as you can will help you manage that stress.

    Good luck!
  • have faith in yourself! dont stress yourself too much over minor stuffs. just keep working hard and your hard work will pay off!
