Everyone knows the worst feeling in the world is when you realize you have to start going to the gym again. It's going to be an uphill battle, but it's always worth it in the end. With a little positivity and some friends to workout with, we will all get our summer bodies back together!

1. OK, come on. You can do this!

It's just the gym; you've been here before. This will be easy!

2. Cardio; always start with cardio.

Cardio is the biggest struggle, so why not get that out of the way first?

3. Ten minutes in, you're doing great.

Yes, look at you go. Barely sweating, only slightly winded, the pounds are just flying off!

4. Five minutes later...I think I'm going to die.

Got too cocky too quick. It's OK-- everyone hits a wall at some point, right?

5. OK, abs. Abs are easy.

Gotta do it for those rock hard abs that you know you've always wanted.

6. Twenty crunches...that's enough.

Yeah, well, everyone has to start somewhere...

7. Let's try a plank!

It's just like laying down above the ground.

8. Just kidding.

These things should come with a warning, they will burn your core until you want to cry.

9. Squats-- everyone needs squats.

Nice butts don't just appear, you have to work for that!

10. Fifteen squats, that's good enough.

That's just enough for one day.

11. Day 1 = A success.

Give yourself a pat on the back because you conquered your first day back. Now, do we have to go tomorrow?

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.
