Finals season, frustration, and freedom at last!

          If you are a university student like me, then you can relate to the ever frustrating end-of-semester final exam season. During the final exam season, there is always that eerie atmosphere where everyone realizes that the semester and the fun times are over. It is actually the time to get serious and study! If you are not a university student yet, then this blog will be a little sneak peek into the future. Or if you have already graduated from university and do not have to face the emotional roller coaster of the end-of-semester final exams, then congratulations the bad days are behind you and now it is all sunshine and bird chirps.  Now finals season starts with looking at your current grades and then calculating how much you need to achieve your personal target.

Hence, as a result, I refrained from eating and experienced an unhealthy weight loss. These fad diets really convince you to eat right. But what exactly does that mean? As a victim of these fad diets, I would like to share a couple of points regarding food.

This is intended to share my experiences and what I learned from them. I am no expert on this topic.  The most important point is that please do not be scared of food.
