The ABS-olutely Amazing Shower Workout

What better time to start getting into shape than now? You have a whole six months to work on that summer body you always wanted and why not start your New Year's Resolution early? It doesn't matter if you have never been to the gym or if you go every day, these workouts can easily fit into the lives of anyone from the busy worker to the laziest of Netflix-and-chillers. You will only thank yourself later because you have nothing to lose (except, maybe those love handles).

The ABS-olutely Amazing Shower Workout

What is more productive than working out and showering at the same time? This workout is easy enough to do in the shower or anywhere else, and leaves you with tighter abs that will thank you later!

Standing Crunch

Place your feet about shoulder length apart, bend your knees, and position your hands behind your head as if you were to do crunches. Bend forward targeting your abs until your back is flat, then return to starting position.

Standing Oblique Crunch

Stand with your feet shoulder length apart, a little bend in your knees, and hands at your side while you engage your core. As you bend to the side reach your hand to your foot (do not touch your foot) and then return to center and repeat on the other side. As you do this exercise keep a flat back. You do not need weights for this exercise.

Standing Twist

Stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart. Instead of weights, you can just hold your hands out in front of you. Engage your core as you twist your trunk to one side, then return to center and repeat on the other side.

Standing Cross Body Crunch

Stand with legs shoulder width apart, with a slight bend in your knees. Put your hands behind your head as you would for a normal lying down crunch. Engage your core as you lift one knee to the opposite elbow, then return to starting position and repeat on the opposite side.

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.
