Freshman year of college calls for adjusting to living in a dorm, managing hard classes and stress, parties, and a lot a lot of...meal swipes. So what exactly does that mean? It basically means that your life will revolve around a meal plan, everyday, for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in-between.

1. You will think the Freshman 15 isn't real

If you think the Freshman 15 is just a myth like I once did, I'm here to tell you that the Freshman 15 is indeed very, very real. The thought that you can potentially gain 15 pounds in a year is a scary one, and it may not hit you until you wake up one morning and notice the jeans that once fit you, are beginning to feel a little too tight.

2. The Permanent Bloat

The Freshman 15 has its ways of gradually sneaking up on you. There are only so many times you can feel "bloated" before accepting that you've actually gained weight.

3. You'll try to eat healthy

Let's face it, at some point we say to ourselves, "Starting from tomorrow, I'm going to eat healthy." But on a college meal plan there are only so many times you can get a salad and the same fruit to eat; I love lettuce, but not that much.

4. Limited Options

From sandwiches to pizza to burgers, most college meal plans do not exactly offer the most variety. So, although you'd probably prefer something without high sodium or carbs, you eat carb-loaded foods anyway. If you weren't used to eating the same foods everyday, you'll get used to it now.

5. You don't have to prepare your own food

Ok, so the food in college isn't necessarily free because you pay for it in advance, but since we don't have to pay for our food upfront, we view it as free. The more food, the better; the more free food, the more meals, and the more meals leads to the Freshman 15.
