I've been naughty...

Hello!
I'm new to Gaia. And new to the guild as well. biggrin
I graduated from highschool in May. And now I'm stuck in the transition phase from highschool to college. Looking for a job and a suitable college... I've just been kind of floating.

But since my floatage started, I've gained some weight!
And it's embarrassing!
So, that's why I'm here.

Welcome aboard!

Okay, first things first: in addition to your scholastic requirements, make sure to take at least one physical class every term. Dance, a sport, weight training, martial art, whatever you can. That will help you fight the Freshman Fifteen (or, these days, the Freshman Forty).

Mine was the freshman fifty.

When it comes to class, if you live in dorms, don't limit yourself to classes that are close, pick one across the campus from you. (It was helpful for me, I was taking geology which was at the top of the campus, so fifteen flights of stairs, (my school was built on the side of a mountain) when I stopped going, I gained weight)

You can also take up exercisicerous hobbies, I'm sure your school will have a gym.

Now, in the mean time, Are you still living at home? Have you just been lounging about like I did?

Try looking for a job that's close enough to home you can bike there, or walk there. Or that's far away enough from a bus stop that you get at least a 10 minute walk in per day,

I'm kind of lounging about...
I have been volunteering at the humane society while I look for work, and I try not to remain dormant for too long at a time xD (Random jumping jacks, running around in circles, stuff like that)
