With summer coming to an end, college classes are just around the corner. Whether you’re a bright-eyed freshman keen on getting started or a seasoned senior ready to finish, heading to classes and settling into a new routine can take a toll on both your physical health and mental health while causing increased stress and negative emotions such as fear, apprehension, and even boredom.
Under normal circumstances, these emotions can lead to emotional eating, so it is no surprise that changes in schedules, routines and surroundings can easily trigger eating as a way to cope.
