Going To The Gym, As Told By Joey Tribbiani

Whether you go to the gym looking like you walked straight out of a lululemon catalogue (#goals, am I right?), or you show up in a massive t-shirt and Nike shorts; whether you exercise daily, or you go maybe once a month if you're feeling extra motivated; we all have probably experienced a workout like this one:

1. You're about to hit the gym, and you're dressed and ready to get your sweat on.

2. You walk in and spot Ryan Gosling's twin at the squat rack, and you pat yourself on the back for going to the gym at this time (#blessed).

3. Then he notices you totally checking him out casually eyeing him, so you do your best to look like Gigi Hadid at the gym play it cool and act natural. *stand up straighter and flex the six pack you wish you had*

4. Okay time to start your workout. Now, where to begin... Should you lift? Hit the StairMaster? Try that new spin bike? Decisions, decisions...

5. You decide to run on the treadmill since they have TVs attached to them. At least you can Keep Up with the Kardashians while on this torture machine.

6. "Let's make this workout interesting, I'll race the person next to me because they totally look like they've run a few marathons." (i.e. they've been running for 40 minutes and haven't died yet)

7. You feel good about your progress, and you're thinking: "okay I've definitely run at least a mile at this point." Then you look at the clock, and you realize you've only been running for 4 minutes and have gone .36 miles.

8. "You got this! Think of all the pizza you can eat after you're done." 1 mile = 1 slice of pizza, right?

9. You look around for some good people watching, and you see someone who could pass for The Rock chest pressing what looks like 3x your body weight. You try not to audibly gasp watching this because how is it even possible for someone to lift that much?

10. Then you spot Ryan Gosling's twin again, and now he's doing pull-ups. *pretend to look like you're enjoying your workout when he looks over at you*

11. Alright, time to look at how much time has passed, you're definitely close to your 30 minute goal (you spent at least 4 minutes gazing in awe glancing over at Ryan Gosling doing pull-ups). JK it's only been 14 minutes.


12. You hit the 3 mile mark, and you feel unstoppable. "Yeah, so can Ryan Gosling come over here to give me a medal for this...?"

13. You finally get to 20 minutes, and you decide to cut your workout short. You'd much rather look like Kim K than T Swift anyways.

14. You go over to the mats to stretch after your cool-down. You pretend like you know what you're doing; you did hot yoga that one time, so you're basically an expert at this.

15. You're finally ready to leave the gym, and you can't wait to get some food in your system, and after that tough workout, you've totally earned it.

And you'll probably do the same thing next week in hopes that you'll see Ryan Gosling there again.

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.
