30 Thoughts Athletes Have During 6 A.M. Conditioning
Irina Briquet

All athlete's lives consist of eating, school, and training. But those 6 a.m. lifts and conditioning sessions? Those are not a force to be reckoned with. It's so early in the morning and so many thoughts are rushing through our heads. So here's to the athletes that think these thoughts during those dreaded morning practices.

1. Ugh, it’s too early for this.

Just one more snooze?

2. Why am I awake before the sun?

3. I don’t want to get out of bed.

No. Please, no.

4. Just 5 more minutes of sleep and then I’ll get up.

5. Alright, here we go.

6. Holy crap it’s so cold outside.

My tears instantly turn to ice on my face.

7. I can’t wait to eat once this is over.

8. I could really go for some pancakes right now.

9. Or French Toast?

10. Hill sprints? No thank you

11. Why did I ever sign up for this?

12. Is it even worth it?

13. It's totally worth it!

Yes. You can do it!

14. I’m definitely going to need a nap after this

15. “Add a 45-pound plate to each side of the sleds!”

*cries internally*

16. Dear God I think I’m actually going to die.

17. I’m going to puke.

Hurry and get a bucket!

18. I can’t feel my legs.

19. Wow I’m definitely going to feel this tomorrow.

20. What time is it?

21. So when I get back, should I shower, study, or sleep?

22. Probably study...

23. But then again, I need to shower…

Fresh and clean.

24. Oh well. I’ll just sleep.

25.How bad will I smell if I don’t shower?

We know it's going to be bad.

26. Who even cares.

27. Nobody understands the physical pain I just went through.

28. Just one more sprint and I’m done.

29. Thank God I’m still alive.

30. I can’t believe I have to do this all again next week.

I will forever love this sport.

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.
