10 Reasons Why My Fitbit Is A Living Nightmare
cnet2.com

Fitbits have become one of the hottest trends this year. My mom bought me mine for Christmas as a "friendly" reminder that the freshman fifteen is real and I should try to work out more. They're great for athletes, yoga-moms, soccer-moms, or anyone who likes to stay in shape. While Fitbits have the right idea, they are a living nightmare. I am constantly haunted by the consistent suggestions to try and reach my goal of 10,000 steps. It seems easy enough to hit 10,000 steps but you would be surprised just how hard it is. Here is why my fitbit will terrorize me for the rest of my life.

First of all the tan line I have from this thing is awful.

I'm not risking leaving this thing alone in my room while I go out to tan. It may come to life and walk around to mock how I'm relaxing and not stepping.


It vibrates when you move your hands too much.

Did I hit 10,000 steps? Oh no...it's just reminding me to stop shaking my hands and start running.

Watching the app add one step at a time while you try to hit your goal is like watching paint dry.

You are literally watching it count to 10,000...which is a long process.


Even on my most active days I still feel like I'm hustling to get to 10,000 and I know it's enjoying watching me struggle.

I can hear it laughing at me.

Just as I'm getting close to 10,000 the battery starts to go.

Don't you dare die on me. Not now.


I HAVE to get to 10,000 steps everyday which leads to me usually running around the house.

High knees!!! It goes by faster!!


If I don't hit 10,000 I'm a basically a failure.

*My family at BBQs.*

"That's our daughter Steph. Don't bother looking at her, she hasn't hit 10,000 steps in weeks. We've been shunning her for the last month."

It pits you against your friends

Where the hell did Ashley go that she got 13,000 steps today?

Who does Jessica think she is trying to "taunt" me? SOMETIMES I LIKE TO LAY DOWN.

It watches you while you sleep.

"You slept for 2 hours and 41 minutes...by the way I know you had a dream about Zac Efron in Neighbors 2."

It tells you how active you are.

"You have 0 active minutes"

How can you not consider the hours I've spent binge watching Netflix "active minutes"?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
