Four Things Girls Are Tired Of Hearing After Saying They Went To The Gym

Sometimes, it's best to think before you speak

Four Things Girls Are Tired Of Hearing After Saying They Went To The Gym

Exercising is a part of life, and if you don't play a sport, likely you'll get most of your exercise done in the gym. Likewise, conversations warrant responses, so when a girl says she just got back from the gym after being asked what was going on, here are three things not to include in the conversation or any preceding conversations:

1. "But,you don't even need to workout"

"Uhhhhh, thanks... I guess?" Honestly, it's not really up to you if we feel the need or desire to improve our bodies but it's kind of you to point out that we look alright by your standards! And hey, sometimes you just need to get your heart pumping and your sweat on to feel good and ready for the day.

2. "Oh, so, do you squata *insert smug grin*?"

Could you at least come up with a more original way to make a comment about a girl's butt? Also, even if we were squatting, we were probably sweating buckets-- hope that image comes to mind as well!

3. "Aren't you worried about looking manly?"

This is more for anyone that does any kind of strength training. No, because the second we start to look manly, we'll probably quit whatever exercise got us there. But honestly, women don't have the testosterone that men do, so unless you're taking mad supplements, femininity isn't going to be a problem.

4. "So, are you gonna judge me for eating this, then?"

Absolutely not. Just because a girl went to the gym doesn't mean she's on a certain diet and even if she was, she's not going to judge you for fueling your body with what YOU want to fuel YOUR body with!

PS: Don't judge us if the exercise we want to participate in is Zumba might really enjoy dancing. Don't judge us if we're going to just walk on the treadmill. At least we're getting some exercise. Don't

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
