The freshman 15 or that little weight you gain once you're on your own is a time honored tradition. There's a million excuses...but we had a whole pizza, I couldn't help myself. There are some ways to avoid it.

  1. Eat breakfast. It'll fill you up and you won't splurge on five tacos and chocolate cake.
  2. Opt for pretzels and popcorn instead of potato chips.
  3. Sign up for the gym classes that your school offers.
  4. Don't eat while you study.
  5. Splurge for a really snazzy salad every once and a while.
  6. Avoid pig-outs if you're really stressed or frazzled.
  7. Hang out with people with good study habits. They'll rub off on you.
