A Letter to the Girl Struggling With Body Image

Every college student (and most people in general) know or have heard about the "Freshman Fifteen". They say that during your freshman year of college, you will gain fifteen pounds. I've been told so many things about this, ranging from "it's absolutely true" to "it's a myth" to "no matter how hard you try you'll still gain 15 pounds". The concept of the "Freshman Fifteen", whether you believe it's true or not, is an unhealthy thing to have swirling around in your head when you enter college.

Easy (and Healthy) Breakfast Ideas

Let's be honest: getting up in the morning is hard. When I hear the alarm go off in the morning, the only thoughts I have are usually not very positive. One of the problems I find the hardest about the morning is getting everything ready before I have to leave - I want to stay in bed for so long that I never have enough time.

Although I'm very lazy in the morning, I'm also the #1 Breakfast Advocate. Friends don't enjoy sharing their breakfast routines (or lack thereof) with me because most of them don't have time to eat. This usually launches me into a short speech starting with the words, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
