Actual Quote from my Health Psychology Professor:

" If you're over weight, chances are that you're probably not attractive. And if you've taken social psychology, we all know the psychological advantages of being attractive... "
- Worst professor ever.

and now I'm about to go fail my health psychology midterm. It's too bad. The class is so interesting, and it has such great potential to be one of those classes that blows my mind away. But then my professor keeps focusing on aspects of being overweight that make me want to punch her in the face. I mean really, girls struggle with their body weight and image the most when? During College!! And you just went and put more pressure on our class to be thin, when statistics show that at least 80% of the class is struggling with their weight, and 1/4 of those kids probably have some form of an eating disorder. way to go.
sheesh. Good Grief.

  3. I signed up for the Body Image Challenge thing they are doing on campus the other day, in the office for Women's Services in the 3rd floor of the Wilk. It starts... next week I think?
    I'm pretty sure you can still sign up. Its free and you get a t-shirt at the end of the week! :)
