Oh yes, the dreaded gym. Even if you enjoy working out, everyone has those days where they are extra stressed, cranky and tired. Just thinking about going to the gym makes you miserable. You’re laying in bed and you know you should go, but you just can’t bring yourself to put pants on because "f*ck that." You tell yourself, “I’ll just work out extra hard tomorrow.”

The problem occurs when you've already told your friend that you would meet them there, and you need to get out of it. So here are some excuses that will justify your decision to skip.

1. The Fake Out.

“I was there for like 15 minutes and I couldn’t find you! What the hell Stephanie?” This is especially useful if you have one of those friends who is always late. Obviously, you really wanted to workout, but your friend ruined it. God, Stephanie, get your sh*t together.

2. Still sore from yesterday.

Clearly you don’t need to push yourself any harder than you already have. It’s probably better for you to just take the day off. Good for you.

3. All your clothes are dirty.

"Honestly, this is getting so ridiculous, I can’t believe there weren’t any washers open again."

4. Your teacher is Satan.

Because it’s not your fault you didn’t start the eight-page paper that’s due tomorrow, right?

5. Way too much tequila.

“What the hell happened last night?" When you didn’t even wake up in your own bed this morning, the gym is not your No. 1 priority, OK?

6. Phone is almost dead.

If you think I can workout without Kanye and Eminem throwbacks, you are dead wrong.

7. Your own mortality.

Sorry Stephanie, but I am going to have to skip the gym on account of my death.

8. So-and-so doesn’t workout.

If one of your friends never works out but looks good, clearly the same goes for you. Right?

9. Diarrhea.

“It’s like lava, I don’t know what I ate.” Not exactly pleasant, but definitely effective. You won’t have to worry about Stephanie stopping by your apartment to corroborate your story either.

10. Cold, hard truth.

Listen, it's just not gonna happen today.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
