11 People You See At The Gym
Her campus

The gym is a scary place to go. Everyone assumes that it's full of fit athletic people who judge you for your 12 minute mile on the treadmill or that you're only lifting 5 pound weights. There is a common misconception that the gym is an exclusive club of attractive people working out together. However, this is completely wrong. The gym is just full of weird people who are just focusing on their own workout.

1. The person who gets too into their music

This may be on the person on the treadmill next to you who gets a little bit too into their running playlist. Everyone loves "Sorry" by Justin Bieber, but no one wants to hear your off key version while you're running.

2. The impressive male athlete

This is the guy that every girl wants to date or at least hook up with. He's probably doing some really cool workout over by the free weights

3. The impressive female athlete

This is the girl that every girl wants to be and every guy wants to be with. How does this girl literally make everything look like a Livestrong ad?

4. The person who tries too hard

Okay just because 450 pounds are there, doesn't mean that anyone should lift it.

5. The person who doesn't try at all

This is the person who kinda just stands around and pretends to work our or walk on the treadmill for 5 minutes at a 2.5 mph speed and then leave.

6. The overly sexual person

This is the person who groans a little each to they lift. They wear basically nothing to the gym, and they work out in front of the mirror and snap the ocassional selfie.

7. The thirsty onlooker

This is the person who literally watches everyone. They look at your machine and your butt.

8. The beauty queen

This is the person who wears a full face of makeup and has perfect hair. Ponytail optional.

9. The lunkhead

This is the person who only has one thing in mind. Lifting weights. This is the kind of person that has the "I pick things up. I put things down" manta.

10. The person who doesn't know how to gym

Oh... Please stop.

11. The person who really doesn't know how to gym

Well... at least they're at the gym.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
