It's Hard Out Here ...when someone expects you to read for class, let alone for "pleasure"

"Reading. Hmm, well it's okay when I'm on the beach, or maybe in a waiting room...wait, does twitter or facebook count?" This is the mindset of most college kids out there these days, which is understandable in the fast-paced society we live in. Magazines are colorful and fun to skim through between classes, iPad apps are animated when professors always aren't, television is well, easy to do. Why on earth would we actually try to keep our place in a black and white size twelve Times New Roman type-faced novel when we can have pictures and slideshows instead? Being the physical health freak that I'm assuming most of the readers (if you're out there) have caught on to me being, I read a lot. The composition of this reading is 90% health/fitness/nutrition and 10% essential information aka "quality social networking time." Although most of my reading is done online, I will credit the series of "Eat This, Not That Books" as one of my few but fantastic go-to reads. I own all of them, from the "Drink This, Not That" to the edition for kids.

These books were created secretly for college students in my personal opinion. They are bold, colorful, in your face, easy reads that contain some of the most classified information out there such as: The Cheesecake Factory's nutritional information (heads up, don't eat there...ever). To me these books are sacred, and if you are trying to maintain optimal physical health in a world of eating out then these are the key. Throughout the years, "Eat This Not That" has become not only a very successful series, but a phenomenon because of how excellent of a job the authors did providing people with options, instead of the classic "eat this and only this, meanwhile forget everything you ever enjoyed eating" books that occupy the clearance section in your local BooksAMillion.

Luckily, internet prevails as always. So, if you already made the excuse "I'm a broke college student, and I refuse to pay $14.99 for a book that tells me information I probably don't really want to hear anyway," sorry that won't work. Because, Men's Health has a blog in partnership with "Eat This Not That" packed full with useful information to anyone who cares to read it! Now if that doesn't get you excited, think of Krispey Kreme doughnuts fresh off the conveyor belt, now channel that giddy, warm feeling of pure excitement into copying and pasting the link posted below. Now you will discover what to eat at Krispey Kreme next time you go that does not equal a day's worth of caloric intake. See, everyone wins..except the freshman fifteen! Now that's reading even this Sociology 340 class should all try!
