Purchasing a Fitbit seems like all fun and games until you get sucked into the lifestyle it creates. But it's never a bad thing to be extremely conscious of your personal health. It is exciting to track how active you can be in a day, and it's pretty helpful to have alarms, reminders to move, and text alerts. For those in the Fitbit community, you definitely can admit to living your life like this:

1. You walk around aimlessly to reach your 10,000 steps for the day

As you get ready for bed, you realize your numbers look a little low, so you wander around at 11:55 p.m. to reach your 10,000 steps for the day.

2. And when you reach 10,000 steps, you have to make an announcement

Reaching 10,000 steps for the day is a big accomplishment. When you feel the buzz on your wrist, you automatically smile and have to let everyone around you know that you took 10,000 steps today.

3. You cannot ignore reminders to move

It is great to have a reminder to move when your Fitbit senses that you are inactive for a while. However, you stay inactive some days to recharge yourself. When your Fitbit knows you are taking a day off, it will constantly remind you to get up, and you cannot resist the urge.

4. Competing with friends

If you were never a competitive individual, purchasing a Fitbit changes that. You love to compete against your friends in daily challenges. Even when you and your friend are across the room from one another, you tap your screen to reveal your steps and flash it over to them. If they have more steps than you do, you suddenly aren't friends anymore.

5. You check the app all the time throughout the day

Wake up, check the Fitbit app. Go to bed, check the Fitbit app. This is a serious lifestyle, and you continuously check your stats throughout the day.

6. You go crazy when your Fitbit is dead

Your day is ruined when your Fitbit runs out of battery while you are out and you cannot record your activity for the day. Your stats go to trash, and it also makes you feel lazy.

7. You realize how terrible your sleep habits are

When you wake up in the morning, you check your sleep chart immediately, only to find that you barely sleep during the night.

8. The workweek hustle suddenly becomes the most important thing in your life.

This competition allows friends to compete against one another in a challenge of daily steps. You may have other priorities, but you must reach first place!

Taking care of your own personal health is so important. Get up, get active, and make sure to reach 10,000 steps!

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.
