6 Workouts For You and Your Significant Other

Fresh off of the New Year, some people might be still continuously hitting up the gym, and some (like me) have begun slacking. Me and my boyfriend have been trying to get back into the habit of going, so we go together for encouragement. How else are we going to get our spring break bods for the beach? Here are some fun workouts for you and your significant other to try as well.

1. Hook Squats

You and your SO put your backs towards each other, link arms, and squat while walking in the pattern of a circle for 20 seconds. You cannot complete the motion without the other, so it's good motivation!

2. Alternating Box Jumps

Place a box in between each of you and take turns jumping on and off of the box. Knowing the other will be going right after you is good motivation to keep going.

3. Biceps and Triceps Towel Challenge

Hold a towel by your chest with your palms facing forward and your SO holding the other end of the towel. Keep your knees slightly bent. Complete a bicep curl while your partner creates resistance, and while you come down you will create resistance that will make them complete a tricep extension.

4. Partner Push Up

While doing a push up, have your SO stand over you and place their hands on your upper back. They will create resistance while you push up to help your core.

5. Swimming Stretch

Lie on your stomach and face your partner, your arms should be able to overlap. Pretend like you are swimming while your hands are on top of theirs. Keep your shoulders away from your ears, and do this for five long breaths.

6. Criss-Cross Crunches

Lie on your back and link your legs in between your partners'. You will each hold each others' legs in place to prevent them from moving.

Happy exercising and may the odds be ever in your favor.

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.
