Incoming college students and upperclassmen college students really have a difference in food habits, some good and some bad. Incoming college students tend to be a little healthier before attending college then after attending college. On the other hand, upperclassmen college students may not be as healthy as an incoming college student. Most incoming college students tend to have a balanced diet; however, upperclassmen college students tend to have bad eating habits and gain weight. Incoming college students tend to have a balanced diet.

Some bad habits may include dependence on coffee, skipping meals, and eating junk food instead of proper meals. Upperclassmen depend on coffee because they feel like they need coffee to keep them awake for early morning classes, but consuming four to seven cups of coffee a day is too much and can be really harmful to your body. They often skip meals and eat junk food instead of proper meals as well. Skipping meals could cause you to run low on nutrients, or have other health concerns. Also, your risk for some diseases may increase. For example, if you constantly skip breakfast, it is not healthy for your body and you may be in for a lot of trouble. In the same way, eating junk instead of proper meals can leave you feeling terrible or even make you sick. It could also give your problems in the future with your health. Upperclassmen college students who eat junk food as a regular basis consume more fat, carbohydrates, and processed sugar then most incoming college students. However, incoming college students probably do not depend on coffee as much because their parents are still involved. They are most likely getting advice about eating better from their parents as well. Likewise when incoming college students are at home, skipping meals and eating a lot of junk food in place of proper meals mostly does not happen because their kitchen is so

While living our daily lives’ something unexpected might happen to us college kids. Something that no one ever wants to catch or have, the so called “Freshman 15.” The Freshman 15 is a way of saying that freshmen in college are going to gain at least fifteen pounds or more during the first year of college. No matter what college students do in their hectic life, there just never seems to be any time to do anything other than school work. There is no telling who will gain these horrifying fifteen pounds during their first year in college, it just depends on the choices a person makes while being in college. There are so many ways a person can gain the Freshman 15, but there are also so many ways to avoid gaining excess weight. The different ways to avoid gaining the Freshman 15 include: eating a healthy breakfast every day, avoiding late night snacks, getting plenty of sleep every night, avoiding overly sugared drinks and eating healthy on a daily basis. By eating healthy and making healthy lifestyle choices, students can avoid gaining the Freshman 15.
In order to find out how many students make use of their current meal plan, my group went out and surveyed forty students (twenty-three freshmen, six second-years, six third-years, and five fourth-years) currently attending the University of Florida in a face-to-face question format. A majority of the students who were involved in this study were freshmen, as they are the demographic that is the most encouraged to purchase a meal plan for convenience as well as social reasons. The students were asked a set of five questions as follows:
Those who live more sedentary life styles are at risk for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure, all things that effect lower-socioeconomic groups more often than those in higher income brackets. Those who are less educated are also twice as likely to smoke cigarettes as the most educated.
College student drunkenness is far from new and neither are college and university efforts to control it. What is new, however, is the potential to make real progress on this age-old problem based on scientific research results. New research-based information about the consequences of high-risk college drinking and how to reduce it can empower colleges and universities, communities, and other interested organizations to take effective action. Hazardous drinking among college students is a widespread problem that occurs on campuses of all sizes and geographic locations. A recent survey of college students conducted by the Harvard University School of Public Health reported that 44 percent of respondents had drunk more than five drinks (four for women) consecutively in the previous two weeks. About 23 percent had had three or more such episodes during that time. The causes of this problem are the fact that students are living by themselves no longer with parents or guardians; they earn their own money; students need to be a part of a group, be accepted; and they have the wrong idea that to feel drunk is “cool.”
In the article “Student Come to College Thinking They’ve Mastered Writing” by Berrett, Dan. He explains that Freshmen college student believes that their skill that they have learned is enough to satisfy the college standard of writing. According to a survey presented by faculty members, most students feel well prepared when it comes to writing in the College, and about 15 percent freshman would need some kind of tutoring. In that same survey, students also say that social media do not help them to be better writers, but instead the opposite, they feel as if social media has nothing to do with academic purposes. Some faculty members have instead suggested that teachers should require students to do some kind of writing in social media such as Facebook or Twitter for academic purposes that could help students improve their writing skill in social media and feel more comfortable.
I feel as if though the best way to adapt to the harsh reality of a personal problem is being vocal about it, which can later help someone realize that it may not have been much of a personal problem after all. One issue facing college students around the world is the fact that many of them derive from households and families lacking any college alumni; therefore, making them first-generation college students. The difficulties that come along with attaching this moniker to students include tedious things such as spending countless, mind-bending hours spent on Google searching what school best suits one’s needs, or needing to delve a little deeper into websites regarding what differentiates an independent student from a dependent one. Minor
According to current estimates approximately 75 percent of college students are now nontraditional students – older than 25, attending school part time, and having delayed entry or reentry into college for a variety of personal reasons. Post secondary education is needed by such students to develop their careers and to acquire new skills and knowledge in a global society where they are likely to have longer life spans than did workers in the past. This trend is not restricted to North America; it is a worldwide phenomenon.

Raymond Chandler’s short story “Red Wind” is not a typical detective story since the story belongs to the genre of noir. However, it should have impressed audience in its plot, character hypothesis and using of language. What is worth mentioning in this story is the complicated relationships between main characters. The story surprises me because I could not know what is going to happen in the next scene. And the good thing in a movie or a story is that audience can never expect the ending unless they went through the whole story.
