Easy, Unique Ways To Work Out This Summer

Want to change your summer work out a little? Or looking for a little diversity in your exercise programs? Well here is a simple sure fire work out to blow those summer calories away.

Warm Up/Cool Down Stretches

Reaching for the highest spot in the pantry where the potato chips lay. It stretches your calves, sides, and your arms. Reward yourself with those chips you were aiming for.

Abs

By wrestling your sibling for the T.V. remote.

Reps: Throughout the day/night. (Good luck.)

Laughing with your friends

Reps: Always.

Cardio

Run after the ice cream truck as it drives down the road pointedly ignoring you and mocking you with it's song.

Reps: Once. And after getting them to stop and order your triple chocolate ice cream cone, lie on the cold hard ground and cry.

Play tag with the neighborhood kids. (What? You don't have to be a kid to play and it will make those kids love you and possibly worship you. Then one day you will find you will have the minions you need to help you take over the world.)

Reps: However many times it takes to get the kids to trust you.

Classic, good-ole squirt gun fight.

Reps: Until there is a winner.

Weights (Muscle Endurance)

There are many things you can do for this; carrying logs to help fuel your bass jumping campfire party, lifting your forks and spoons as you eat one of your many meals (on the easier level), helping your friend move their heavy-arse moving boxes, and so many more options.

Reps: Whenever you get the chance and for as long as you want.

Balance

Practice perfectly balancing two ice cream cones in each hand.

Reps: Once. (Side note: do you really need all of those? Not trying to tell you how to live your life or anything...)

Getting up really quick from sitting/laying on the coach. You are almost always off balance after doing this.

Reps: Not too often.

Yoga/Sleep

Finish with this by taking a nap. That's like yoga sleeping's cousin, because honestly you've done enough workout for a day.


I hope these unique workout ideas will help inspire you to get some probably much needed exercise this summer. Or maybe you can look at these workout plans and tell your friends who "always work out every morning" that you too work out.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
