16 Reasons to Get to the Gym

The gym. The most necessary evil out there. If you have issues mustering up the motivation to get off your rear and go to the gym I strongly suggest you take a gander at this list. If you don't , well good for you but you should check it out anyways.  

1. You just got those super cute sneaks and some one HAS to see them.

2. Tobi… true to size if you layer various Spanx products underneath.

3. It still counts if you just go to stretch, "A" for effort.

4. Two words. Formal dress.

5. Two more words. Cheap beer.

6. Proactively justifying the doughnut you have had your sights set on all day.

7. Actually just making room for a greasy expansion in general.

8. Bonus: those super cute sneaks probably won’t smell as pretty as they look after a good sweat. Pick your target and hide those stinky  suckers under their bed. Revenge is a dish best served smelly.

9. Your mother is coming for a visit in the near future.

10. Elastic waistbands should be a choice luxury not a daily necessity.

11. Resourceful outfit options. You can’t raid your roommate’s closet if you aren’t at least a similar size.

12. The diet taco bell "Fresco" menu just doesn’t do it for you.

13. You know the exact times that kid you gently stalk in your bio class goes to workout. 

14. Chasing down the ice cream truck does not actually count as cardio, as much as we wish it did. 

15. Your dog is in better shape than you.

16. You have an excuse to dress in norts and comfort colors all day after.

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.
