Everyone wants to feel sexy in that little black dress or feel proud when they pull off their coverup at the beach, but late night pizza and booze are sabotaging your washboard abs. Losing weight has been a struggle faced by Americans for decades, but losing weight in a college setting has been especially challenging for students. The lifestyle of a college student is one with a very unique style:
1. It’s impossible not to get the drunches.
As if alcohol wasn't enough calories, we have to stuff our faces when we hardly even remember it too.
2. You are considered a regular at the bars.
It sounded like a good idea at the time.
3. You have to be drunk if you're going to dance.
Our dance moves seemed a lot sexier last night, but the videos beg to differ.
4. The gym is never fun, especially if you're hungover.
It has been "the first day we are going to start going to the gym" for about three months now.
5. Netflix might get lonely if you're gone too long.
Don't worry Netflix, I'm not going anywhere.
6. The baggy, oversized frat bro t-shirt look is socially acceptable.
No one will notice that little patch of fat if we wear an XXXL.
7. Too poor to go buy new clothes that fit your new and improved body.
I barely have money for food, and any extra is sure as hell going to alcohol.
8. You cannot survive without your Starbucks in the morning.
Even if I had the perfect body, no one would want to see me in the morning with out my double shot caramel macchiato. Skim milk, of course.
9. Ramen is cheaper than vegetables.
Eating ramen every meal for about a year would cost only about $140.
10. You can’t cook anything but eggs and pasta
I guess I should have paid more attention when my mom was cooking Thanksgiving dinner the 18 years I lived at home.
11. Cropping a photo is easier than working out.
...And photoshop works on just about anything.
A pictures worth a thousand words, or something like that.
12. Facebook gives you the option to review the photos you are tagged in before the whole world sees them.
When someone upload a horrendous picture of you, they clearly have some type of hatred towards you.
13. You have accumulated a mountain of class work to do since you're a professional procrastinator, which means no time for the gym (like you were going to go anyways).
14. The holiday season basically means you eat your face off.
I swear, I am only going to eat like this for one day, then it's back to a "strict" diet and the gym.
I think it is time to just accept our fate and love the way that we are. After all, college is suppose to be the best years of our lives. We have all the time in the world to get in shape once we graduate, get married, and have kids, right?
