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.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
