Fat college kid fixing his life.
I’m a 20 year old college kid. I’m fat, lonely, sad, and I’m miserable. I want to change, not only for me but for everyone around me.

Morning Anxiety
Are you someone who wakes up feeling fresh, rested, and ready for the day? Or do you wake up with crippling anxiety? I am the latter.
