Week One Of Your Summer Diet As Told By GIFs

Spring semester can be a sneaky little bastard. The time between spring break and finals week signifies the start of day drinking your life away on patio bars and it's basically the greatest. But all of this behavior has a price to pay and I'm not just talking about your wallet. You are not alone if – looking back – you are slightly disgusted with yourself for how many beer pitchers you guzzled down, the drunk eats you wanted to savor for "the last time" before you left campus for home, and the thought of having to get into a bathing suit soon scares you sh*tless.

And so, you make a promise to yourself that this summer things are going to be different. You'll (actually) work out, eat better, and you will come back to school looking hot as hell. Like, so hot that you won't have to actually fake a "skinny arm" in pics. And so begins a crucial part to this plan: the summer diet. It'll be easy right? HA.
