Okay, so I am a freshman at WSU and there is a myth that every girl gains 15 lbs in their first year. Well, I have been here only a semester, and my freshman 15 feels more like a freshman 50. I know I haven't gained that much weight, but it has definately been more than 15 lbs.

It's no myth. You go from mama's home cooking to a dorm room with a mini fridge and a microwave. Late night studying (and partying) and little healthy sustinance. I too gained the Freshman 75, oops, I mean freshman 15. Just now learning that extra veggies on my Dominos pizza doesn't make it healthy. Damn! lol. Welcome to FT.
