Getting healthy is not only a daunting task, but it's also not an easy one. Despite what some people may say, it's really hard getting yourself to the gym three to five times a week, eating clean and drinking a gallon of water a day. It's like, really hard. And let's be honest, the last thing you want to do after working all day or being in class is to go to the gym and make yourself even more tired. Trust me, I get it. I've been there and done that. But I also understand being tired of not liking how you look in the mirror. I get how you hate going shopping because "that won't look good on me" runs through your head every time you see something you might want to buy. I totally know how you feel when you dread taking pictures because you don't want to see yourself not looking your best all over Instagram the next day. While being physically tired is an uncomfortable feeling, all of the things I just mentioned are worse. I understand that getting healthy is a lifestyle change, but if you're ready for it, here are a few things that might give you some motivation to keep going! It's time to start loving the way you look, and feeling even better. So, are you with me?

1. Looking freaking awesome in that bathing suit.

Don't you wanna feel confident in anything you wear, including a bathing suit? I'm talking one piece, two piece or whatever you feel comfortable in. Just knowing that you can rock whatever you put on should be reason enough to get healthy ASAP.

2. Loving how you look in pictures.

Gone will be the days of "can we take another one" and "I look so bad in that." Soon enough, you'll be doing the Ri-Ri "oh stop" wave like you don't know how hot you are, but deep down you'll know you're the best looking one in the room.

3. Being honestly happy with yourself.

And when I say happy, I'm talking Jennifer Lopez happy.

4. Going shopping and loving trying things on.

The world will be your stage, and you must give the people what they want and perform. Once you're healthy, you'll have all the confidence in the world, and trying things on will become your favorite part of shopping.

5. Being able to say no.

Being healthy comes with choices, and saying "no" to unhealthy food because you simply don't want it will be the best feeling ever. You're no longer saying "no" because you "can't" or you "aren't allowed to." Instead you'll be saying it because being healthy and continuing to love the way you look and feel are way more important to you than that Taco Bell.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
