Growing Up In A Gym Made You Do It

It's a lifestyle.

Growing Up In A Gym Made You Do It
Aimee Metcalf

If you grew up in the gym life, you can relate to most of these.

1. You'll learn to live the low-carb life

Anything above 15 grams of sugar probably belongs on my cheat day. You'll also feel judged ordering a burger and not eating the bun.

2. The big 4 in Biochemistry was actually interesting

Freshman year, my professor said carbs, proteins, lipids (fats), and amino acids. I think that was the only exam I passed in her class.

3. You'll own 57 blender bottles

And they all smell like old protein shake after the first use.

4. Tupperware is an essential

Meal prep Sunday, am I right? Sadly, you know they don't last long because you'll leave them in your car for a few days (or weeks) and throw them out..

5. You get tired of drinking water

Crystal Light, Mio, or Powerade Zero is somewhere in one of your bags.

6. You'll use the gym as therapy


It's honestly the best anger management there is.

7. You'll wonder how skinny women drink sugar loaded coffee

While you're holding your non-fat, sugar-free vanilla iced coffee, add almond milk.

8. You also wonder how they can eat two bites and be full...?

Because we all know that workouts suck, but we get excited about how much more we can eat after a two hundred cal burn fest.

9. We know how to get ready on the fly

We can make ponytails perfect for the gym or cute for the night out. We're also okay with going somewhere with less makeup.

10. Gym clothes are your casual clothes

You have a Pinterest board for workout clothes and half of your casual board is Lulu Lemon and Adidas too. Leggings ARE pants and you'll wonder where crop tops are acceptable to wear.

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.
