First Year Fifty Edit Meaning

1.

The weight gain a first year graduate student puts on in his or her first year of studies. Similar to the freshman fifteen, the combination of late night "study breaks" and stress over finding an adviser and funding causes the student to put on some pounds.

"Hey Brian, did you see Karen at the football game?"

"Yeah, looks like she suffered the first year fifty at Stanford."
