College for many people is the first time their workouts are determined on their own itiative. No coach yelling at you or planning everything out. No strict 3-5 time slot that you have set aside every day. You are on your own.

Okay, I ran a lot in (insert high school sport here). I can do a jog and some lifting. This should be okay. No freshman 15 for me!

2. Wow there's a lot of people in here....

I don't think that's what that machine is for...

3. Time to work

Alrighty...I think this is the workout I did in high school weight lifting? I should have paid more attention.

4. Is he staring at me?
