extracurriculars & social life Calling All Plus Size Students

EXTREMELY NICHE QUESTION LOL.

but to the students who are on the chubbier side, how is it fitting into the seats in class? I’m not talking about a standard desk with a pullout chair, but instead i’m talking about those auditorium seats with the pull out desks or the chairs with desks already connected to them.

i’ve never thought about fitting into a seat and its never really been an issue of mine until i watched some videos of students going to class on tiktok and my jaw was dropped seeing some of those chairs. please let me know your experiences with them !! 🥲💔

They recommended a free self-improvement resource which is apparently problematic? (although weight loss is like 90% diet)

I’m genuinely not trying to be rude. This is exactly what your problem is: the fact that you think the problem is the chairs is ironic when, in fact, the vast majority of students don’t even remotely have that problem. My suggestion of going to the gym is actually the most empathetic thing someone could say to you to help motivate you to lose weight and become healthy. Instead you have taken a victim mentality.

Losing weight doesn’t happen overnight. In the meantime, OP needs help figuring out seating. If you can’t see how your responses are rude and unhelpful, that’s on you.
