14 Things To DO Instead Of Going To The Gym

We all try and make plans to go to the gym, but do any of us really ever go?

14  Things To DO Instead Of Going To The Gym


We all tell ourselves that we are going to the gym every day. That usually turns into “I will just go tomorrow.” Well the tomorrows keep coming and you never actually go to the gym. You have other more important things to do, or you just don’t want to go at all.

1. Gym? What's that?

Some people have never been to the gym on campus, let alone know where it is. So technically is the gym even a thing?



2. It is a Friday night.

Oh, come on its Friday! It is not time to go to the gym! Its time to go out with your friends and have some fun!



3. You end up falling asleep.

After staying up late working on your homework and then getting up early for class, a cat nap wont hurt right?



4. You get food instead.

The dining hall closes or switches meals so you better go and get your swipes worth of food…the gym can wait.



5. Homework

Yes, homework. We all have it, and it needs to be done. After all we are here for school not to work out so I guess the gym can wait.



6. Netflix

Who doesn’t enjoy some Netflix time? Don’t lie we are all guilty of binge watching our favorite shows.



7. Laundry

Remember that dirty laundry that has been sitting in your hamper for a week or two? Yeah, You should probably take care of that.


8. Target runs.

Sometimes you run out of shampoo or food maybe just need to get off campus, so why not go to Target? Target is the best place ever!



9. You're going alone.

You had plans to go at a certain time with your squad but they all drop out for some unknown reason, so if you go, you would be going alone, so you end up not going at all.



10. It's time to clean!

We eat, breath, sleep, and live in our dorm rooms. Sometimes they just need a good cleaning. Even if you don’t want to, it is just something that has to be done.



11. Your best friend calls for girl talk.

Sometimes things will happen in life when your friends need you. In the matter of minutes you all assemble in one room to all be together and just talk. Friends come before gym, always.



12. Boys.

As a girl you may not want to work out in a gym with the guys. It can be very uncomfortable and maybe even a little embarrassing, and God forbid the guy you like is there.



13. It's too cold outside.

During these winter months it can be pretty cold outside and all you want to do is stay in your warm room.



14. You just don't want to go.

You have now ran out of excuses as to why you don’t want to go to the gym, so you just don’t go.

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.
