Hey guys!
You have all heard of the freshman 15. For those of you living under a rock, the freshman 15 refers to the weight that freshmen in college often gain (sometimes it’s way more than 15 pounds too).
Today we are doing things a little different. All three of us have had a different experience our freshman year. Both M and E were dorm students. While M went to school in Syracuse, NY, she had the occasional access to grocery stores. E was in New York City and had no access to grocery stores (taking grocery bags on the bus seems anything but fun). Lastly, A spent her first year living at home with her parents while commuting to school. All three of us will share a little about our personal experience and the Do’s and Don’ts that we have learned.

If you are a commuter, you are at a slight advantage to avoid the freshman 15! (especially if you still live with your parents.) In my freshman year of college, I lost 30 pounds instead of gaining 15 (but no complaints here!). However, this was not because of my transition to the college life, but mostly because of becoming a vegetarian and changing my eating habits all together.
Do: Eat breakfast before you leave the house
Don’t: buy your breakfast (on or off campus)
This is for both breakfast and beverages such as coffee! I know there are many people that will say “I don’t eat in the morning,” well you should. Not only is it unhealthy it’s also smarter. You will be alert, awake, and ready to soak up information. Also, you will not be tempted to buy breakfast somewhere on your way to class. I suggest that all you coffee & tea drinker to buy a thermos to avoid having to spend money on coffee everyday. It is a cheaper option that will make your wallet happy in the long run - especially if your parents buy the coffee.
Do: Bring your lunch.
Don’t: Buy bad tasting sandwiches on campus.
What is this high school? My thoughts exactly during my first week, in which I learned three things:
1. Campus food sucks & it is pretty unhealthy
2. There are many students who are smart enough to bring their lunch, I was not alone.
3. Food is expensive. I spent $30 in the first week just on lunch!
Save your money and your taste buds and bring your own food.
Do: Bring snack and drinks.
Don’t: Use vending machines.
Vending machines are horrible. They have a bad variety of unhealthy foods, they steal your money, and half the time they do not work. Also if I am paying thousands in tuition why do I have to pay $1.75 for a granola bar!?!? Bring snacks because yes, you will be hungry. Also bring reusable bottles with something like water.Do not be tempted into buying unhealthy stuff from vending machines. Bringing your own healthy snacks/drinks will stop you from buying unhealthy ones.
Do: Have dinner parties.
Don’t: Go out to dinner every week.
I get it, you want to go out to dinner with the boyfriend/girlfriend or have a night out with the girls/guys, that’s cool. However when this becomes a weekly habit it can get expensive, plus often the food we order isn’t that good for us. You're not in a dorm and therefore have the luxury of having a full kitchen and a stove! So impress your date by cooking his/her favorite meal (no, mac & cheese or Ramen noodles do NOT count!) and have a good time throwing a dinner party with your friends. Even have a few of them help you cook. It will be unexpectedly fun and cheap (if everyone pitches in a bit for the food). By cooking the food yourself you can make sure it isn’t fried or extremely unhealthy.
Do: Eat before you go grocery shopping.
Don’t: Buy junk food.
If you eat before you buy your food you are less likely to buy junk food (because at the moment you’re not hungry). If there is no junk food in the house, you cannot eat it all, genius right? Buy healthy snacks and also lots of fruit and veggies.
So my general advice is to eat food at home or make it at home to take it with you. When you prepare your own food, you decide what is in it and you can make it healthy. When you’re surrounded by the delicious smell of McDonald’s fries I fear most won’t make the healthy decisions (I usually don’t).

Hey Y’all
Living on campus is probably one of the better college experiences. Besides having to share cramped quarters with your hoped to be BFF for life, dorm living is freeing and exciting. Until you realize you have to buy yourself food for your dorm.
Most students living on campus have to have meal plans, it’s a bill you can’t avoid. My school claimed to have so many gluten-free options so I ordered the 16 meals a week/Gold plan for like $3,000 a semester. Yah, food costs a lot. Let me tell you.
While there was always the option of salad, that wasn’t something I was willing to eat for every single meal. My school did have a variety of options, but working in the Caf as a work study, I learned the behind the scenes of what goes on in a college dining hall. Here are some tips on to eat healthy in the caf, as well as stocking up on food for your room.
Do: Read the ingredients list if you have an allergy, and always ask the chefs if you are unsure
Don’t: Assume it is naturally ok for you because why would grilled chicken contain wheat?
I learned a little too late that most food in our caf is cross contaminated. Due to the fact I shouldn’t eat dairy but do, I thought my stomach aches and digestion problems were because of the dairy. So I stopped eating it and kept getting sick. I didn’t realize that half the food was cross contaminated.
For those that don’t know, cross contamination is pretty much when you’re making wheat pasta and gluten free pasta and you use the same spoon to stir both. Most people would say that’s crazy and no way you can get sick from that. Well, you can. My stomach tells me so.
So, always always always ask about what is in the food if you ever feel uncomfortable or it makes you sick. The chefs are there for YOU. It’s their job, so ask them whatever you need. If they don’t know, they will find someone who does.
Do: Eat until you’re full
Don’t: Don't fill up on curly fries with the nacho cheese sauce whenever it is available (or the equivalent to this gooey artery clogger)
Let me tell you something. Cheese fries are my absolute favorite thing in the world. Ask anyone who knows me. When the caf had the curly fries and cheese sauce, I basically cried tears of joy and grabbed a big bowl of that as my dinner. Wrong move. I probably ate like 5 pounds of cheese fries freshman year alone. #ewww
It wasn’t until Spring Semester that I had to go get a box of the cheese sauce from the back kitchen and while walking back to my station, I read the ingredients. My reaction? Uhhmmmmm why is there wheat in cheese sauce?
My curiosity got the better of me. I read the fry box after that. Contains monosodium glutamate and wheat. MSG and Wheat? A celiac’s nightmare and I was eating it. That explained so much to me. Not only were they not gluten free, but they contained so much sugar, sodium, and so many calories/carbs that I wanted to throw up month's worth of eating them.
Do: Go to the store and buy things like unsalted/unbuttered popcorn, fruit/veggies, healthy granola bars, etc.
Don’t: Buy candy, frozen dinners, chips, cookies, soda, etc.
Right down the highway from my campus was a Wegmans. (It’s basically a larger, better, more expensive version of Wal-Mart.) When I was feeling fancy and rich, I went to Wegmans, if I was feeling like a broke ass college kid? Wal-Mart here I come. (Disclaimer - I had my car on campus as a freshman for just under $400 for the whole year.)
When you go shopping, you NEED to make a list of things to buy. Sometimes you will add extra to your list. What you should do is take only the amount of money you intend to spend. Research ahead of time, bring enough to cover that with tax, get in and get out. You don’t have time to wander the grocery store and figure out what you want.
On your list, you should make sure you have things that you can’t take from your dining hall. My school had a limited amount of fruits and veggies, so I would expand outside of what they had so I could give myself options. I also used most of these for smoothies (I have a NutriBullet).
My boyfriend always bought Cliff bars to keep on hand for a snack in class. I always took his because why not, but try and do something like that. Or buy unsalted nuts, dried fruit, and dark chocolate. Put a half serving of nuts, and a quarter serving of dried fruit and chocolate into baggies as a healthy trail mix as your snack.
Do: Go to breakfast
Don’t: Skip out
At my school you can only hit up the caf once per meal session, so if you’re hungry for an early lunch, and you go at 11, you can’t go back until dinner opens at 5. That may seem like not much but when you don’t have enough dorm food and want a sandwich from your fave deli guy by your last class at 3pm, you’re out of luck.
My recommendation, go to breakfast. Yah, it’s early, but if you have a morning class, you have to get up anyway. My school has a station where eggs are made to your order every day. The egg guy Earl is probably my favorite person on that campus. He would remember my order of 3 eggs with mozzarella, spinach and onions. He was Bae.
You could also get premade scrambled eggs (I did if Earl’s line was too long), some form of meat like sausage or bacon, some potatoes cooked like homefries, usually french toast, and donuts. I always opted for Earl’s eggs, the potatoes and sometimes the meat. Breakfast always held me over until usually 1pm or sometimes 2, and then I didn’t have to go to dinner early, and wasn’t hungry by 11pm and ordering pizza. In the end, breakfast saves you so many calories.
Do: Have a good time
Don’t: Have too much fun where it all goes to your thighs
You’re going to party. Some of you are going to drink. Despite it being illegal, it’s all around you on campus. I remember walking past a room on the guys floor above me and the whole room was covered in Bud Light cans. Like towers stacked on the desk, floor, everywhere. It was honestly sort of sad and very gross. The room reeked of BO and beer.
Although I am not condoning underage drinking, if you are going to do it, you need to be smart and healthy about it. If your school has a zero tolerance policy, my recommendation is don’t drink. Your education is way more important than getting drunk and hooking up with that cute person.
One thing you need to know about alcohol - some of it has soooooo many calories it’s like why drink it. Most alcohol is 7 calories per gram of alcohol alone. So basically, if you’re doing mixed drinks, and use the standard of 1.5 oz as a serving, that is 96 calories in just that little shot glass before the mixer is added.
But, we all know more than 1.5 oz are being consumed at parties. Say you have 6 total shots at a party one night (just the distilled spirit alone, no mixer), go to another party the next night and drink another 5 shots? You are looking at over 1,000 calories in two days, before the sodas, and juices are added. I eat 1,500 calories a day.
Like I said, I am not condoning underage drinking. If you do drink, think your consequences through. If you want to know the calories per drink? You can go here and check it out yourself. Just be safe, careful and healthy
Kisses, M

Hey people!
So like it was said before, I had slightly different experiences than the lovely ladies before me. When I started school, I figured I wouldn’t need a car. I mean, I lived in the middle of Queens! There’s plenty of public transportation to get me around wherever I need.
Which was true, for the most part. But the one thing I really missed was grocery shopping! I couldn’t just go to the store and get a pack of water (because tap water in NYC would probably give me superpowers) or get fruits and veggies when I needed them. I was too lazy to take a twenty minute bus ride to get food, I had unlimited food on campus so why would I buy more, and I had no room in my dorm for food.
So here are some tips for people who HAVE to eat on campus:
Do: Eat breakfast
Don’t: Skip
Ok so this was said before but please eat breakfast! I had never eaten breakfast before I went to college because it would always make my stomach upset, but it’s a necessity. If you don’t, then after a 90 minute morning class (or the dreaded 3 hour lecture) you’re hungry, cranky, and you’re not gonna learn a whole lot.
Also, make sure your breakfast is full of protein! A lot of breakfast foods are full of starch (bagels, toast, even potatoes) that can make you feel tired and sluggish. Foods like eggs, veggies, and fruit give you lots of energy without weighing you down! Cereal can do the same, but I try and stay away from that because of the sugar content.
Do: Bring food back to your room
Don’t: Get hungry at midnight and order takeout
This was a huge problem for me my first year. Everyday I would eat dinner at around 6, but I would stay up until 2 a.m. That’s 8 hours before I went to sleep, which is plenty of time to work up an appetite.
Luckily, most delivery places close at around 10 p.m. so I didn’t have to worry about that, but there was a diner on campus that stayed open till 3 a.m. Which is great if you’re drinking and don’t want to be hungover in the morning (not condoning underage drinking, just saying it happens), but not so great otherwise. And let me tell you, this diner has the best chicken tenders and fries in existence.
But they’re also full of fat, cholesterol, sodium, and sugar, all things that are so unhealthy (and delicious). My tip is to bring tupperware to school and stock up on healthy food at the cafeteria so you can get some good midnight snacks! You can still go and get that yummy, crave-quenching food periodically, but it shouldn’t be a nightly routine.
Do: Make your own coffee or get it in the cafeteria
Don’t: Buy it
Ok so I’m an advocate of a coffee-free life because I don’t think caffeine (and all the cream and sugar) is healthy on a daily basis…. But I also drink coffee almost every day so I understand the struggle. Unfortunately, my campus has a Dunkin Donuts AND a Starbucks so I basically funded their entire operation for a semester.
I would like to mention that I also had a perfectly good Keurig in my room, I just ignored it.
So every day for about a month I went to Starbucks and got a medium iced mocha latte and a tomato and mozzarella panini, which is still my favorite thing to eat and drink. The thing about Starbs, though, is that it is so pretentious and costly that I was spending $11 a day. Five days a week. For a month. That’s over $220 in a month.
And it was a glorious month, but that’s just disgusting. Since this is a post about the Freshman 15, I should also mention that it was probably 700 calories just for the coffee and sandwich, and they weren’t even filling!
I tried to switch to Dunkin because I thought it would be cheaper and have less calories, but I got addicted to their chicken salad sandwich which contains probably a day’s worth of fat and is super processed.
So if you’re going to drink coffee, make it in your room! Or even go to the cafeteria because they have it too!
And that’s all I got for you!
Basically, the point is to eat relatively healthy and moderate yourself, which is how you stay healthy in any situation! College can just be stressful and new, and after a tough exam brownie fudge ice cream starts looking real good….
