Finding motivation during quarantine has gradually gotten harder and harder for me to do. I sleep in past noon, forget school assignments, and binge-watch too much "Westworld."

But that's okay. This new reality is nowhere near normal, and we shouldn't feel guilty about having bad days. What I've found is that working out earlier in my day is what keeps me on track for the most part.

This might be different for you. It's all about finding what works with your body and making sure you're taking good care of yourself.

Below I compiled my go-to workout that I have done almost every day since being in quarantine. Of course, some days are duds and I barely get anything done. That's okay. Just keep pushing forward and try to see the best in every day.

1. Jog 1-2 miles

Sometimes I do more, sometimes I do less. It all depends on how my body is feeling and listening to it! I also walk this sometimes if I'm really feeling unmotivated.

2. Ab Circuit

Repeat all of this two times (three if you're feeling good).

20 crunches

20 Russian twists

20 toe touches

20 bicycle crunches

20 leg lifts

20 butterfly kicks

20 reverse crunches

20 side crunches (each side)

30-second plank

20 hip dip planks (each side)

3. Booty CircuitĀ 

Try to do this one to two times through!

20 sumo squats

20 plie squats with heel raises

30 pulse squats

20 in & out squats

30 fire hydrants

20 hip bridges with extensions (each side)

30 clamshells

I hope these fun and quick workouts keep you motivated and healthy during this scary time. If these don't do it for you, YouTube has some amazing workout videos to follow and they definitely get you sweating. Good luck!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast ā€œBirthdayā€ on anyoneā€™s birthday. I knew all of the words to ā€œBack In The U.S.S.Rā€ 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. Iā€™m not someone to ā€œfangirlā€ 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.
