5 Ways To Get The Summer Body You’ve Always Wanted

Going to the beach means it's time to bring out the bathing suits again. For me personally, I feel very insecure at the start of summer in my bathing suits. A good way to make you feel more comfortable and confident with your bodies in bathing suits is by working out. Working out helps me feel more confident and comfortable, and I hope that you can use working out to make you feel the same way.

1. Make a workout plan. 

It can be very easy to not feel motivated to work out when you do not have a set workout plan. A way to help you to remember to workout and feel motivated to is by making a set workout schedule. If you know exactly which workouts to do on each day, there’s less of a chance you will skip them. This will ultimately lead to you getting your dream summer body.

2. Change your eating habits. 

Even if you work out everyday, if you don't have the right nutrition in line it can be harder to make changes in weight. A good way to stay healthy is by eating protein shakes. They fill you up, and are good for your body. Surprisingly, eating a lot of smaller, healthier meals a day also helps. Many people believe that eating less will help them loose weight. Yet, skipping meals slows down your metabolism, essentially making you gain weight. Therefore, these smaller healthier meals increase your metabolism and help you see changes in your body.

3. Go on a run. 

Even though many people do not enjoy running, for those you you who don't mind it, going running is a great way to loose weight. Personally, I love the endorphin high you recieve after you run. It keeps me motivated and driven throughout the day. For those who do not like running, power walking is a good alternative. Or if you have a gym membership, a stair master is a machine that works your legs without the need to run.

4. Workout even when on vacation. 

One major reason that people to stop working out is when they go on vacation. This is because, when they come back, they do not pick off where they left off with their workout routine. A way to prevent this is by working out when you are on vacation. You can moderate the workouts to make them easier and faster. Yet, keeping your routine will pay off in the long run, and will keep you on track.

5. Set your expectations in the right place. 

Every body is truly beautiful. If you set your expectations to only loose a couple of pounds or no weight at all at first, that is okay. And when you hit those small milestones then you will continue to workout and hit more small milestones that you desire to make. It doesn’t help to tell yourself that you are going to loose a massive amount of weight, because when you do not hit those milestones you will feel worse about yourself. Working out is supposed to do the opposite and make you feel confident and comfortable in your body.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
