I couldn’t agree more with Anne’s message to “eat healthy and exercise,” especially in college. It always surprises me when I see my peers scarfing down junk food and more junk food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sausages and chocolate cake for breakfast, burgers and fries for lunch, Pagliachi’s and giant Slurpees for dinner.
But, at the same time, balance is necessary. As people get older, their metabolism generally slows down and people get fatter. High school and college students, on the other hand, are often blessed with super-fast, rapidly-burning metabolisms, and should enjoy it in moderation.
My dorm experience wouldn’t quite be the same without the HUB’s jumbo nachos or Terry Café’s famous face-sized, pink-frosted cookies, or chocolate fondue on McMahon 8’s “Chocolate Day.” And with exercise and balance, everything has its place.
