- One of these silhouettes is you.
- Close your eyes and think to yourself what it was like to have the freedom from your parents the first time at college
- Staying up as late as you want?
- Was it eating all the food at the buffet styled dining hall?
- Eating cookout at 2 am after a long night of studying?
- Or was it NO CURFEW?
- Maybe you had something different in mind.
- That's okay. Just get the gist of many 'freedoms' of an incoming freshman
- However, having all these freedoms may sound great, it can also be very harmful, especially for women
- Why me?!
- It is because woman try to create identities through pictures that they see
- Women lose their sport
- We all know it as the Freshmen 15
- You can't forget about the all you can eat meal plan

- 3. Are you comfortable with your own body and the way you look? Why or why not?
- 1. Have you gained weight since you have been at college?
- 2. If you have gained weight, why do you think you have?
- I asked 3 specefic questions:
- Q3 "I gained almost 4 pounds the first 2 months since I have been here. I wasn't comfortable in my own skin, I have dropped that weight, but I am still insecure about my body."
- "I think one of the main reasons I am insecure is because of what society tells me to look like"
- "I have gained weight and I am self-conscious"
- "Instagram shows me the way I SHOULD look"
- "Social Media is powerful and influences our lives"
- Q1 & Q2"I have gained weight since I have been here. I feel that eating a buffet style meal everyday is why I have gained weight."
- I surveyed the freshmen guys because I was curious as to why they had perceived thoughts as to how a woman should look.
- 2. Do you think the media distorts your view on the way women look?
- 1. Do you think a woman should be a certain size?
- 2. "they have brainwashed guys minds to think every girl will look like that.”
- 1. & 2."Yes, I have a certain idea that a girl should look because the media broadcasts models and other girls that are skinny"
- 1. & 2. "I have a fixed mindset as to what a girl looks like because of the way they advertise commercials in such a sexual way."
- "I'd rather not answer this one"
- which the models that you see on social media weigh 23% less than a normal woman weighs.
- Media distorts images and models bodies to make them smaller than what they are.
- Above Media's Standard Convention
- "Being a woman in America’s media-obsessed culture also means living up to the beauty standard that advertisers set in place"
