Listen, dieting sucks but at some point we all have to (should?) do it. So here are the 11 stages of dieting that we all know so well.

1. That initial feeling of motivation you get to start a diet

2. And then you go to the grocery store all excited to buy healthy food

3. And you spend so much money because you didn't realize how expensive it is to eat healthy

4. When you finally make that low-cal, low-fat, gluten free, all natural meal

5. And then you have to force yourself to eat it

6. But no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to convince yourself to enjoy it

7. When you go out to dinner with your friends and you make yourself order a salad

8. And you're trying to have a conversation but all you want is to eat some junk food

9. And then you feel great because you've been eating healthy but then you step on the scale

10. And then you realize that you have more important numbers to worry about, like your slowly declining GPA

11. So you go and eat that f*cking piece of pizza

So to all of those people out there that are starting a new diet, I bid you good luck! For those of us who broke their diet along the way, enjoy your pizza!

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
