Avoid getting Freshman Fifteen Curse
The “freshman fifteen” is a term used in the United States and Canada to describe the weight gained by students during their freshman (first) year of study in college or university. The term refers to the often-reported, yet unsubstantiated claim that freshman typically gain fifteen pounds during their first year. The purported causes of this weight gain are increased alcohol intake and the consumption of fat and carbohydrate-rich cafeteria-style food and fast food in university dormitories.
Most people are conscious about gaining weight so you can do the following to avoid this:
1. Don’t be afraid of gaining weight. Your fear will make it worse for you.
2. Work out and watch what you eat. Do not eat too much fast food!
3. Eat with other people. You’ll be more careful about what you eat when you are eating with someone else.
4. Don’t eat quickly and stay away from late-night snacks
5. Don’t have many munchies in your room other than fruit and veggies
6. Don’t forbid yourself things you love. Just ask yourself, “do I really need a whole piece of cake?” or “do I need this EVERY night?” You can’t totally stop eating them just decrease the quantity.
7. Exercise! Walk with other people, go to the gym, go to the pool. Do not take the bus or the subway to the college wake up early and WALK!
8. Don’t wait until you’re starving to eat. You’re going to eat quickly and eat more and this is going to make you gain more weight.
9. Drink in reasonable amounts for 2 reason. First: Alcohol makes you gain weight. Second: The ladies don’t like a guy who is piss drunk and obnoxious and neither do the guys like drunk chicks.
10. Rule: if it doesn’t taste good after two bites, it’s not going to be worth finishing

1. Develop a will to learn the language. You must be mentally prepared if you want to actually want to improve your English. Learning how to speak a new language is a difficult task since you are teaching your mouth a new way to move. You are building muscles that you do not use in your own language. It is like going to the gym and exercising your body. Use the program to exercise your mouth a little bit each day.
2. Read! Write! Watch! And I mean DO THESE THREE THINGS! Reading is going to give you a good grip on the language as a whole. It will help you become familiar with the language. Writing is going to help you think! When you write you think what you are writing. Speaking is not much different. You need to think before you speak so that you know what you are saying. Watch English Movies! TV Shows or even Cartoons!
3. Work out which sounds cause you most problems in English and PRACTICE THEM! You have to speak as much English as possible.. At Home, School, Gym and almost everywhere you can! The more you practice the better you will get.
4. Try joining some kind of a community where you can there are only English Speaking people. The more time you spend with the English Speaking people the better your English will get! Try and learn from the others. If you find a new word you haven’t seen or heard of before ask others who know how to pronounce it.
5. Be aware of intonation and sentence stress.
Not all words in a sentence have equal stress, and generally only the “information” words (nouns and verbs) are stressed.
‘Where’s the ‘pen I ‘gave you?
‘Where’s the ‘red ‘pen I ‘gave you?
Where’s the ‘red and ‘blue ‘pen I ‘gave you ‘yesterday?
The unstressed words (such as “the”, “I”, “you” and “and”) don’t carry as much “weight” as the stressed words. They become much smaller in length, and are almost abbreviated. For example, “and” becomes “un”.
