28 Logical Reasons Why You Shouldn't Go to the Gym

If you’re one of those people who spends more energy coming up with logical excuses for not going to the gym than you would if you actually went, you can probably relate to this. Here are 28 excuses sorority girls come up with to justify skipping out on the gym.

1. My regular earphones broke, and I’m can’t workout with my Beats because I’ll look like a tool.

2. If I walk to the store to get food it’s as good as cardio…

3. And if I have to carry the groceries all the way back home it’s definitely as good as doing weights.

4. Well my phone only has 10 percent battery, and I’m not going to the gym without entertainment or music because that would just be miserable.

5. I’m hungry. I’d really rather eat right now.

6. Now that I just ate lunch I can’t workout because I’ll be bloated and probably get cramps, I’ll wait a while…

7. I sat on the couch for too long and if I go now I won’t have enough time to shower before going out tonight.

8. I’m running out of underwear and I need to make it last because there's nothing I hate more than laundry.

9. I really shouldn’t go, I have so much work to do… *proceed to watch 5 hours of TV*  

10. “Just one more episode…”  

11. I ate really well today so I don’t have to make up for anything with a workout.

12. I ate too much today and I don’t want to get sick from running.

13. I’m on my period, I deserve to just eat candy and watch "Sex and the City"!  

14. I already showered today; I don’t want to ruin my cleanliness with gross sweat.  

15. It’s already dark outside and no one wants to go with me, plus my mom told me not to walk alone after dark.

16. I’ll just do some pushups and an ab workout instead…

17. Well if YOU guys are skipping the gym today, I’m off the hook.

18. I can’t workout because then I’ll be too tired to do my homework tonight.

19. I had three classes today and walked all over campus, so that definitely counts as my cardio.

20. I didn’t go to the gym… but I did go to Yogurtland in my gym clothes.

21. I’m right in front of the gym, but my backpack is way too full to fit in a locker and it’s just rude to carry it around.  

22. I already drank all my water in class and the thought of going to the gym without ice water is unbearable.

23. Considering I just fell asleep in class, I think a nap would be way more beneficial to my health than a workout would  

24. I only have one pair of yoga pants left and if I work out in them I’d have to go pantless to class tomorrow…  

25. When I went to the gym this time last week I saw the boy I hooked up with the night before, so he’s probably there again… and I don't have makeup on.

26. I’ve already been sitting on this couch for five hours straight… If sit here for four more I’ll break my all time record!!!  

27. That booty call last night counted as cardio, right?  

28. I haven’t shaved my legs in a few days so I can’t wear shorts, but if I wear pants I’ll get too hot… I have too many issues.   

In conclusion, I would like to give a shoutout to all my sorority sisters whose laziness and laughable logic is an inspiration to me every single day.

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.
