10 Foods To Avoid At Boston University When Avoiding 'The Freshman 15'

It's not easy with so much cheesy.

10 Foods To Avoid At Boston University When Avoiding 'The Freshman 15'
Boston University

Everybody's heard about the dreaded "freshman fifteen," or the fifteen pounds you supposedly gain when you go to college.

Heads up little ones, it's real. Really real. It can take the form of a few pounds in your face or your gut, or you might be terribly unlucky and gain more than fifteen in all kinds of places.

Good news is it can be avoided, but it can be super avoided as long as you avoid these places:

1. T. Anthony's Mozzarella Stick Pizza:

Actually, the whole menu should probably be avoided. T. Anthony's is a late night meal, and your body will probably hate you for consuming even one slice of mozz stick pizza in the morning. It's just SO good.

2. Cheeseology at the Student Union (GSU):

Being able to put as many cheeses as you want into a grilled cheese, a quesadilla, or a huge vat of mac and cheese is probably the best idea since sliced bread. It is not the best idea for your waistline.

3. Panda Express at the Student union (GSU):

Okay, the Orange Chicken is in fact delicious. Paired with Chow Mein and it's even better. It's also half your sodium intake for the day. And that's just the bowl, the plate's a lot worse.

4. Domino's Pizza (especially after 10 pm):

Being able to use Dining Points is so utterly convenient. Cheesy bread is the best thing on the planet. This cannot be a weekly occurrence just because it's easy and because you can get a discount.

5. The Ice Cream Machine in the Dining Halls:

Making your own soft serve cup or cone is a thrilling experience. Eating ice cream after every meal for a week straight? Not thrilling, even if it's lactose free ice cream.

6. McDonald's in Kenmore/on Harvard Ave:

Arguably the best fries and the best chicken nuggets ever produced. Definitely great at midnight. Not great for the extra mile on the treadmill.

7. Dunkin Donuts in the Buick St Market:

49 cent doughnuts after 3 pm is just SO tempting. Beware.

8. Rhett's Tater Tots:

They are the perfect amount of grease and perfect at any time of the day. Rhett's West being open late is a dangerous game to play.

9. Einstein's Bagels in CAS:

Regardless of you being on Team Rhett's or Team Einstein's for breakfast sandwiches, Einstein's bagel sandwiches are not the most balanced way to start your day.

10. Raising Cane's:

It is undeniably good. The greasy chicken, the toasted and buttery bread, and the crinkle cut fries is the best meal there is. Don't get me started on how good Cane sauce is. It is also undeniably terrible for you.


Everything in moderation is the key here, or you'll end up with a sophomore fifteen, a junior fifteen and a senior fifteen too.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
