Better ways to travel tipsy

IUS Horizon • October 3, 2010

Sometimes, I just need a drink. I am a full-time senior in college, work two jobs and have a mortgage payment.

I work there three nights a week, and I always work on Saturday nights.

Weight gain is a problem that nearly every American battles at some point in their lives. However, even with all the weight loss campaigns, the average college student fails to realize there is a growing problem with weight gain for their age group or feel they have no reason to worry. “I’ve been this skinny my entire life, so I don’t think I have to worry about any weight gain,” Tyler Delaney, music freshman, said. “The only difference I hope to see is height.” According to a study by Washington University in St. Louis, more than 70 percent of college students gain an average of 15 pounds in their first year at college.
