Fifteen

The Freshman Fifteen is a generalization which suggests that once high school students go off to college, they gain fifteen pounds by the end of the year due to a variety of factors. And, unfortunately, there is always a grain of truth in generalizations. A few variables that add to this generalization are: “new eating habits, not enough exercise, drinking, and a slowing metabolism” (Health). There is no permanent cure for this dilemma, but there are steps that college administrators can take to…
