Lesson #90 - The Freshmen Fifteen, Part I

Little known fact about the infamous Freshmen Fifteen: the weight gain is more or less a myth, perpetuated by the end of growth spurts and the last traces of puberty adding on a few pounds naturally. Instead, it’s much better to think of the Freshmen Fifteen as a series of 15 lessons every freshman quickly learns while at college, from the first few hours upon their arrival to the end of their first semester. In the next group of lessons, we will be looking at the vast scope of the Fifteen to provide a little more insight for those just arriving at college.
