Getting Back Into Shape According To New Girl

In college, it's easy to lose yourself in your studies and social life, ignoring all your physical needs of going to the gym and eating healthy. But there comes a point when you get tired of feeling endlessly tired and food that once tasted so heavenly doesn't seem to have the same effect anymore. Your body begins to crave a change. So, if you're smart, you listen to that craving and decide to get your butt back to the gym and move your grocery cart away from the sweets aisle. Sounds easy enough, right? Not entirely. There's definitely a rough transition process.

1. You try to ignore the signs that you need to get back into shape ASAP.

2. But you decide to workout for an hour and then you feel like you already lost 20 pounds.

3. But then you get on the scale and see that somehow you actually gained weight.

4. And the hunger that you experience after your workout makes you feel like a wild animal searching for prey.

5. In the beginning, your transition is almost comical.

6. You decide to follow a ton of fitness pages on Instagram for inspiration.

7. Then you realize that you are nothing like the professionals who work out for a living and you begin to lose all hope in yourself.

8. And after you follow the workouts that you find on social media, your body feels like a rubber band.

9. But slowly, you start to see yourself improving in the gym and the kitchen.

10. And nothing can beat when you meet your weekly goal and feel unstoppable.

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.
