Let's face it: most people want a body that they don't actually deserve. I always get this mentality in my head for just a second that maybe – just maybe I could become some sort of super-athletic human. But every single time, that's never the case. Here are some of the thoughts that are had when trying to run away from the Freshman 15.

1. New year: New me.

There is NO WAY you'll gain the Freshman 15. You will defy the odds.

2. I am about to look like a goddess.

So, you start off strong. Maybe you start jogging around the campus or you're at the gym on the treadmill. You have the mind over matter mentality and nothing can bring you down.

3. This isn't really that bad.

You push out all negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. That's why they call it positive reinforcement.. right?

4. Wow. Nature is beautiful.

If you did choose to run outside, you can choose to focus on nature rather than the impending soreness that awaits you. Breathe in the beauty of your campus and breathe out the thoughts of quitting.

5. JK. Bug just flew into my mouth.


That was just gross.

6. OK, how long has it been?

You've successfully made a lap past the soccer team (hot) and the baseball field. That'll probably do it for today.

7. I've had to have been burning an insane amount of calories.

I can feel the fat melting away. Or maybe I am literally just melting from the heat.

8. [Insert name] = picture of athleticism.

Yea. I look good.

9. How has it only been seven minutes?

Okay. I could have sworn I've been out here for longer than that.

10. Do you think this amount of sweat could be considered a glisten?

*Trying to ignore sweat dripping from every part of my body*

11. Phew. I think I deserve a reward after that.

I ran for 15 minutes. I deserve a burger. You go girl.

12. I'll just try again tomorrow.

Maybe tomorrow will be better.

13. Or never again.

If I'm being 100% honest with myself.. I probably won't try to exercise again.

14. #fatandhappy.

At least for a while.

15. Sophomore Slump?

There's always next year... right?

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
