If you insist on drinking, don't drink beer or wine. Drink vodka with diet soda or orange juice instead. Its called damage limitation.

Are you talking about starting college at 15? If so, too young. Sure they might be smart, but social interaction would be difficult and they'd miss out on making friends.

Basically they're talking about gaining weight your freshmen year due to many reasons such as drinking, partying, staying up all night, and eating junk foods (because basically, it's just easier to cook when you're doing a million and one other things).

I didn't gain 15 pounds as a freshman.  Mind you... I didn't party or eat tons of junk food... I ate in the college cafeteria a lot.  But I stayed the same weight.  I haven't ever had issues with weight before though.  Take what you want from that...

Many students aren't usually affected- it's more of a myth than anything, but it does happen if you don't watch how you eat and exercise. You can easily avoid it.

Eating healthy is the main factor in avoiding the freshman 15. Try not to get stuck into the loop of eating fast food in or around campus and try to keep your diet as consistent as possible with how it was before.

college is the perfect time to take advantage of the gym (if yours has one) since it's so close to you.

I actually lost weight when i first started as a freshman... but i made it a point to eat vegetables when they were available, a salad a day etc.  The freshman 15 is all about the kind of person you are... and what you're going to eat

plus it doesn't hurt that my campus/classes take a lot of walking to get to everywhere ;)

oh goodness, if anything i hope to lose weight my freshmen year!
i'll be struggling to pay off my tuition and living expenses, along with passing my courses!

nevertheless, i refuse to pay much mind to things as these, simply because their subjective views with no effect on me whatsoever. i mean, sure, i'll be a freshmen in a few months, but thats about the only link i have to this theory.

you'd do well by following my example

It's a myth. They say it's more like the average freshmen gains 6 pounds, which is usually due to most young adults not getting enough exercise. All of those who were athletes generally do not continue that in college, and that's where the unexpected weight gain comes from.
