7 Lazy Girl Fitness Hacks

As my jeans become increasingly difficult to button, I know that this means going to the gym...my personal Hell. However, fitness can be really fun! Here are a few of the "Lazy Girl Hacks" I use to make working out fun!

1. Start your day with a workout.


Do it early in the morning so you don't have to do it later in the day.

2. Cut out soda.


Yeah, it seems impossible. That extra sugar makes you energized for a brief moment but is toxic for you. Instead, drink water or green tea!

3. Make it a routine!


When you add fitness into your schedule regularly, it will make it easier to workout.

4. Make it a social event.


Grab a friend and go for it! When a pal is there, the workout doesn't seem nearly as painful. It's also a great time for catching up on life.

5. The TV Commercial Challenge.

I am super competitive so this challenge is great. Use the 2-3 intervals between your favorite show to do as many pushups (or anything else) as fast as you can! Make it fun!

6. The TV/Movie Challenge.

Maybe the commercial challenge isn't for you. Look up a workout guide for your favorite show or movie. Have some friends over and make it a party!

7. Sleep.


Your body needs 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Go to bed early. Rest.

Whatever you decide to do, just have fun!

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
