Freshman 15 is a myth. The actual danger is Freshman Fstress Out Your Fass, but that doesn't sound as good.
Yes, there is a buffet every day in the dining hall but it is very inconvenient to get up, wait in line, get your second plate, and then scarf it down while everyone else is leaving. I have yet to get or desire to get seconds. No one wants to walk around feeling like they will explode because they ate 3 helpings of "'Philly' Style Steak Sandwiches", so they just don't eat 3 of them.
Also, people fail to take into account that college campuses are huge and your classes are all spread apart and you have to WALK in order to get food. It's like lunch but with exercise built in! I did the math and I have been walking about 4 miles a day just to and from classes outside, not in buildings or anything. You get a lot of exercise.
The True source of Freshman 15 is stress. You will be stressed. Get over it, you go to Peak, you know how to be stressed out.
So, to stay thin and healthy in college:
1 - don't get seconds
2 - Walk your fass off
3 - actually sleep sometimes
4 - plan out your studying so you can actually sleep sometimes
And 5 - drink EmergenC or something because dorm rooms are incubi of viral plague
I like this blog it's good! :)
