Going to college, especially away from home, can be such an easy way to gain weight without even knowing. After wearing leggings for months, you realize your biggest pair of jeans can't even make it past your thighs. When winter hits, you promise yourself that you're going to do whatever it takes to get that summer body. These are seven struggles that every college student has when they get determined to lose weight:

1. Everything unhealthy tastes so good.

Going to the dining halls, your healthy options are limited. Then you see pizza, fries, ice cream: it becomes hard to resist.

2. Peer pressure

You meet up with your friends for a movie night, and everyone offers you chips, ice cream or popcorn. How can we say no?

3. The gym can be intimidating


Walking into the gym with a determined mindset and then realizing you have no idea what you're doing. Sometimes we stare at the people next to us to figure out how to work the machine.

4. Being broke

The worst feeling is going to the supermarket where everything organic, low fat or healthy is extremely expensive. It's so much easier to just buy Oreos and Twinkies.

5. Beer

Not only is beer cheap, it's extremely unhealthy. If you like to go out and party and trying to lose weight, stay away from the beer. You can end up with a "beer belly."

6. Ordering junk food after going out every night

Whether it's pizza, calzones or any other greasy unhealthy foods, we all crave fatty foods after going out.

7. It's hard finding time to go to the gym

Trying to balance all your school work, homework, a job, clubs and a social life, it becomes difficult making time to go to the gym.

There are many struggles we face while trying to get back into shape. If we power through these seven easy habits, we'll all be babes by summer time. Happy exercising!

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
