These last couple of months I've been trying to get healthy after the very dreaded freshman 15 (it ain't no joke). And from a fellow lazy girl, here are some of the struggles and thoughts I have had while working out.

1. “What did I just get myself into?”

When you are holding that plank for 30 seconds and it becomes eternal and you start questioning why you are putting yourself through this.

2. “I wonder what I’m going to eat after this”

Giphy

Two words. Food = motivation. But the struggle is real. Your mind is telling you healthy but your heart is telling you to treat yo'self.

3. “I need new gym clothes”

Giphy

You're a sweaty mess after your workout and you realize that it's the only workout outfit you own. Another excuse to do a little shopping.

4. ”Who knew I had a muscle there?”

Giphy

You know when your doing that workout video and you're in a super awkward exercise position and all of sudden some muscle starts burning that you didn't even realize existed? #feeltheburn

5. "I’m going to be sore tomorrow"

Giphy

What tomorrow's workout is going to look like with the soreness you feel.

6. “I hope my neighbors don’t get annoyed with these burpees”

Giphy

So I workout in my apartment. On the second floor. And them workout videos have a so many burpees, that I'm surprised I haven't gotten any noise complaints.

7. “Let me take a lil break”

Giphy

Your 2 minutes into the video and an out of breath sweaty mess, so the only thing you can think to do is pause the video…. Forever. Ok maybe not forever but just for a sec.

8. “Do it for the workout selfie”

Giphy

That motivation you have to share your workout selfie with your exercise group gets you a long way.

9. “ I better have abs after this”

Giphy

Expecting results after one 10-minute workout. Trust me, I wish it worked like that too.

10. “I did it!!!!”

Giphy

Finishing the workout might be hard but once its over you feel so good!!

The struggle is real but we you got this! Don't give up on being your healthiest self.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
