Everyone knows the struggle of staring at the gym as you walk past it, trying to remember the last time you actually entered inside and did a workout. But why is finding the motivation to workout so hard?

After all, going to the gym has all sorts of benefits and perks, you may have just forgotten since it's been so long since you've dared to walk inside. But fear not, because I'm here to remind you why you should go to the gym today.

1. You'll feel better about yourself

No more kicking yourself in the butt for not going to the gym because today you are actually going to go and it will make you feel amazing!

2. You can show off your new athletic outfit

Nothing will make you feel better about yourself than when you strut into the gym with brand new Gymshark leggings on.

3. Having dessert is truly deserved

You shouldn't have dessert too often, but it always feels more justified after a tough workout.

4. Weirdly enough, you'll have more energy afterward

It's almost like working out is good for you or something.

5. You might meet a cute person there

Maybe fate will bring your future partner to the gym and you'll bump into each other as you both try to use the same weight rack. You never know.

6. You don't have to worry because not everyone is staring at you

I know it can feel like everyone's eyes are on you when you're at the gym, which is a major reason to skip a workout. But I promise, no one else at the gym is worried about you. They're just doing what they have to do like you are.

7. Post-workout smoothies are the bomb

Yum yum yum.

8. Water always tastes better at the gym

I swear this is true. Hate drinking water? You'll love drinking it while you're working out.

9. You can post on your story that you're being healthy now

Isn't that what it's all about? Not really, but it's still fun to show off to your friends that you're being healthy.

10. You can feel confident in that sexy outfit in a few months

Maybe you aren't feeling the best about yourself right now, but working out can do wonders for your self esteem, so hopefully you'll feel confident in that cute outfit sometime soon.

11. You can take a day off soon, just not today

Contrary to public belief, you do not need to workout every single day. In reality, your body needs a day of rest so your muscles can recuperate and continue to grow. So just keep reminding yourself that you get a break in a few days.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
