1. You often blow of social gatherings to workout.

It's Thursday night and your friends are calling you asking to hit the bars and you know the only bar you'll be at is the one you use to squat.

2. You find yourself trying to out eat the person next to you.

If the guy next to you can eat 8 ounces of chicken you can definitely double that.

3. you constantly catch yourself flexing in the mirror.

Whether its during a nice bicep pump or five hours later, a mirror is in proximity, and you are flexing and posing to see which parts of your body you'll be working on next. Some call if vein, some call it self criticism.


4. Working out has your broke.

Always aspiring for the best gym outfits, the best supplements, and the best gym can put a huge dent in your bank account.


5. Massages are always necessary.

You arise from bed to instant soreness and the sound of every joint in your body popping, almost like a song. Whether its to get knots out of your back or make your hips less tight, you have someone who knows how you like your massages, or your foam roller is always convenient.

6. You have separate social media accounts just to post gym selfies.

Your regular followers got sick of long sappy posts about how much you love to exercise, or the flexing and posing photos in the mirror at the gym. You got sick of your friends' party pictures mixing with the photos of your favorite body builders, so you separated the two. Now everyone is happy.

7. Jeans never fit right.

Tiny waist and a big butt and huge thighs makes it HELL to buy jeans. Better stick to leggings or shorts.


8. Your friends are too intimidated to workout with you.

Or they are too embarrassed to be seen with someone as insane as you.

9. You have your friends, and then you have your gym friends.

Rarely do you mix the two groups, but they both know EVERYTHING about you. If you can mix them, you know you found awesome friends.


10. A quick workout is at least 3 hours.

You tell your roommates you'll be home soon, and they know not to expect you to walk through the door for much longer.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
