Ever since I began working out, there have been little things at the gym that irk me. If you work out, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, these are some solid reasons to skip the gym. Here are my top five gym pet peeves in no particular order.

1. People looking over at your machine

There are only a few things that are worse than someone casually looking over at your machine as you're working out. They think they're being sneaky and sly about it, but you see them checking out the speed on your treadmill as they slowly up theirs to compete with you.

2. People trying to talk to you

I'm in the zone, I'm working out, I'm feeling good, and all of a sudden, someone wants to talk to me. I don't know about you guys, but I go into workout MODE and being snapped out of it is awful.

3. People making direct eye contact with you

This is especially bad when doing hip thrusts or anything that could be considered even slightly sexual. It's just creepy, keep your eyes on the ceiling, please.

4. People who flex at themselves in the mirror

We get it. You look good. Nice job. Please stop.

5. People just sitting/chatting on the machines not using them

This also goes for people who stand in front of the machine/piece of equipment you're trying to use. Please move out of the way or sit somewhere else for the sake of everyone's sanity.

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.
