The fresher fifteen - happens/doesn't happen?

scoll

So... Apparently, one is supposed to put on 15 pounds in the first year of college. What with the excessive drinking, drunken food, hangover food, being too tired/hungover to walk to the next room never mind go to the gym, it's probably true. Any thoughts?

Don't be a cliché.

Definitely not true. In UCC we all got free membership to the Mardyke gym and pool. With most student accommodation located within mile of the place, there wasn't really an excuse (bar laziness) to use it.

It's only true if you do all those things. No need to be in college for that.

Sorry I mean, yeah, you'll put on 14 stone in a day. :P

Learn how to cook, join one of the sports/outdoorsy clubs. You can enjoy college without being a slob.

The freshers fifteen is a US stereotype. If you want to keep it Irish, lose weight in college as you fail to eat properly, and then put on a stone within 6 months of getting your first job as food returns to your diet.

It's only true if you have money to be spending on all those things, it is equally likely that you will lose weight.

I lost like a stone. But then I'm a social disaster to be honest.

As long as you exercise and eat relatively healthily you won't gain weight.

I lost two stone in the second semester of college, by giving up coffee and replacing food with cigaretts. Also I walked alot more when I started college, and had a rather physical part time job. Don't eat when drunk and try to walk instead of getting a bus?

If anything i lost 15 pounds in my first year of college. Poor diet and lack of exercise has the opposite effect on me. Mind you i was on crack at the time.

Ive lost weight cause I cant afford qualit food and beer, so it is small amounts of sh!te food, and sh!te beer. When I come home to the parents on a sunday I eat everything.
