“If I could be like that, I’d give anything just to live one day in those shoes.” Everyone at some point in time has felt somewhat jealous of another person’s looks and physique. Everyone has looked at those people on billboards and advertisements and wanted to look like them. Well, looks are inherited through genes and can only be slightly altered; physique on the other hand is something that can be changed by as little as half an hour in the gym a day. I believe that Louisiana State University students should spend time at the Student Recreation Center (REC).
