Product Description: Fight the Freshman Fifteen, Sleepless Nights, and Other Pitfalls of College Life

Welcome to college life. It’s full of possibilities—and pitfalls. Cafeteria food is awful, but there sure is a lot of it. And you can eat as much (or more) of anything—and everything—as you want. And in a single year of study, you can grow a gut that will haunt you for the rest of your life. No one in the dorm is going to tell you when to go to bed, and you can wear each all-night cram session like a badge of honor. But on two hours of sleep a night, the circles under your eyes will make you look like a raccoon before midterms—which you’ll then probably fail. And exercise—what’s that? Say hello to thunder thighs and saggy bat-wing arms.
