If Your Friend Group Was Just Yoga Poses

How flexible is your friend group really?

If Your Friend Group Was Just Yoga Poses

Yoga has lots of poses and each one is unique in its own way, just like your friends. See which pose fits your besties!

The "Mom" Friend- Padmasana (Lotus Pose)

Lotus Pose

Cameron DeVille

They've got their life together. They have YOUR life put together. Somehow, they are taking care of everything and everyone while still remaining (mostly) calm.

The Overacheiver- Urdhva Prasarita Eka Padasana (Standing Split)

Standing Leg Split

Cameron DeVille

This pose is the definition of balanced and flexible. Your body is doing things that it never thought it could do. This is for the yoga learners that want to be the best.

The "Nap Queen"- Shavasana (Corpse Pose) 

Corpse Pose

Cameron DeVille

This one's pretty self explanatory. You lay on your back with calm music playing in the background and your body is exhausted, so you just zzzzzzz...

The Althete- Sirsasana (Head Stand) 

Head Stand

Cameron DeVille

This is a headstand. If you do this pose in a yoga class, chances are the non-yoga-pros think you're a show off. It does require a lot of strength though, so if you can do this pose, your body is ridiculously strong.

The Life of the Party- Natarajasana (Lord of the Dance Pose) 

Lord of the Dance Pose

Cameron DeVille

This pose is FUN! It's a mix of your loud friend and your dramatic friend but in the best way. It's not too difficult, so it gets along well with everyone.

The Sarcastic One- Pasasana (Noose Pose)

Noose Pose

Cameron DeVille

This friend's words always seem to be twisted. They always have a joke or sarcastic comment ready. This pose and this friend both have a little drama to them as well.

THE LOUD FRIEND- Ardha Chandrasana (Half Moon Pose) 

Half Moon Pose

Cameron DeVille

This is about as large and metaphorically loud as your body can get. Half Moon takes up the most physical space of any yoga pose.

The Drama Queen- Parivrtta Janu Sirsasana (Revolved Head-to-Knee Pose)

Revolved Head to Knee Pose

Cameron DeVille

This is the most dramatic pose out there. You put your body in the weirdest pose that you can, probably for the attention.

The Overworked Friend- Plank Pose

Plank Pose

Cameron DeVille

Their entire body is tense all the time. They have so much going on that if they relax at all, their whole life could fall apart.

The "Aunt" Friend- Ananda Balasana (Happy Baby Pose)

Happy Baby Pose

Cameron DeVille

This one's a little weird, but you have to admit it's fun.

The Diplomat- Adho Mukha Svanasana (Downward Dog)

Downward Dog

Cameron DeVille

Everyone likes this pose. It's the pose you go back to between everything else going on in your life. The Downward Dog is reliable and provides stability that other poses do not.

The Introvert- Balasana (Child's Pose)

Child's Pose

Cameron DeVille

Calm and quiet. They don't open up a ton unless you ask. They're really chill most of the time, though, so that's nice. This pose allows them to avoid eye contact while getting a good stretch in.

The Who Is Constantly Having a Panic Attack- Cow and Cat Poses

In order to do the cat pose, simply invert the cow pose.

Cameron DeVille

Is this friend okay? Probably not. Are they trying their best? Definitely. These poses are known to help with anxiety, so they're a perfect match for your anxious friend.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
