We all know that L.A. is supposedly a city obsessed with health, a city with a juice bar on every corner and one Soul Cycle per neighborhood. At USC, however, you wouldn’t be able to tell you live in the same city as Gwyneth Paltrow. At USC, we are surrounded on all sides by Jack in the Box, McDonald's, Panda Express, Taco Bell, Five Guys, Chick-fil-A, Subway, and Carl’s Jr., just to name a few. And they’re all on one street! Might as well rename Figueroa "Fat-ueroa," the boulevard of broken scales. It can be hard to eat healthy and stay healthy, especially when here you consider Chipotle to be nutritious and the only juice bar at USC is mediocre at best (sorry, Nekter!). The gang of "It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia" perfectly describes the constant dilemma of eating in college, between wanting to be healthy and wanting to indulge.

1. When you come up with any excuse you can to eat Panda Express

The Cream Cheese Rangoons are only 190 calories? So healthy!

2. And use any excuse you can to not eat an apple

How can I know if Seeds fruit is organic??

3. When you finally go out to a nice restaurant away from campus and don’t know what to do with yourself


4. When you cheat on your diet and do some things you’re not proud of

5. When your friend tells you about a weird new food trend and you’re skeptical if it actually works

6. When you decide to give up that one unhealthy food you love

7. Your reaction when someone questions your eating habits

Why do you care if I eat my entire Blaze pizza in less than 10 minutes?

8. When people try to get you to eat new cuisines

No, for the last time I don’t want to try kimchi.

9. When you go to a new exercise class and actually like it

"Guys, I’m like actually really into Pilates now."

10. When CVS is out of Tostitos Hint of Lime chips

11. When you run out of snacks in your room and you’re too lazy to buy more

12. When the dining hall doesn’t satisfy your culinary needs so you have to think creatively

Face it, you can only handle so much EVK.

13. When you go on a hike for the first time this semester

14. Trying to relate to vegans

15. When you get nervous about eating dinner two hours before a party

16. When you want to bring your lunch to class but you’re not sure if the professor will notice and get mad

17. When you go home for the holidays and your parents start asking you about the freshman 15

18. When people act surprised when they see you at the gym

19. When people think they’re “too good” for 2 a.m. Domino's

(No one is too good for 2 a.m. Domino's.)

20. When the Postmates delivery fee is over $10

Why is life worth living if my delivery from Urth Caffé is $40?! It’s the only way I can eat healthy!

21. And finally, when you give up on trying to eat healthy and just accept how muscular you are

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
