- In my perspective the "Freshman 15" is an issue in our BYU commuinty. People think that if they buy cheap unhelathy food that it will help them financially, when in all reality they are starting habits that can harm your helath.
- As BYU student's we are affected by the current recession that the nation is dealing with. There is less job opportunities for us, and when time comes to buy textbooks and pay for bills we are in even a tighter budget. Somehow we still have to manage to pay for everything else.
- Yesterday I heard a fustrated BYU student mentioning that he had to return almost all of his textbooks because the bookstore had ordered them incorrectly. Personally, an issue with the bookstore that I have is that it can't order the correct amount of textbooks. How can it be 600 textbooks short for English?
- An issue that I often hear about at BYU is that there isn't enough parking!

Yes, I agree that many students are confused with cheap, and healthy. The cost of healthy food is unfortunate, but I think it will be worth it to avoid the dreaded fifteen.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of the "freshman 15" too. It sounds convenient and appealing to just spend our precious money on cheap fastfood or junk food. I do it sometimes. What we need to do instead is to buy different kinds of food, including fruits and vegetables, and keep a balanced diet.
ReplyDeleteMaressa I agree. We try to rationalize that we could use the money that was leftover form our junk food to purchase something else.
ReplyDeleteScott we do need to buy healthier food. I have been thinking that BYU campus is surrounded with fast food. When you look at it there isn't a grocery store as close as Pizza Hut or Dairy Queen.
ReplyDeleteThe only healthy food that I have seen is in the vending machines, which is an apple. & that's about it.
ReplyDeleteAbout the recession, I heard some good news awhile back. I heard that this is actually the best time to be a college student, because by the time we graduate the economy should be better.
