A guide to the ultimate workout playlist.

Play That Funky Music

I hate working out.

I really do. I'm just gonna come right out and say it. I mean, who likes to sweat and push themselves and do arduous activity? Why can't I just obtain rock hard abs and pectoral muscles by relying solely on cookie butter and Netflix?

Unfortunately, that's not reality (sucks I know). But, I guess there's a way to make my workouts enjoyable. I do that through music. If you have a killer workout playlist, I guarantee that you can get through ANY and I mean ANY workout. Even burpees. So, if you wouldn't mind, today I want to share with YOU my Spotify Workout Playlist. Filled with motivation, inspiration, and another word that ends with "ation," this playlist gets the blood running and guns pumping.


So, without further ado, I present to you, a sneak peak to my Spotify Workout Playlist.

1. "ON THE FLOOR" BY JENNIFER LOPEZ, FEATURING PITBULL

I don't care what anyone says. This. song. is. my. JAM. Just imagine: You're on the treadmill and in front of you is a beautiful view of New York City. In the midst of this majestic sight, the synthesizer begins in a low mysterious tone, and then BAM, J-Lo hits you with a sexy beat with a splash of Pitbull. You suddenly feel motivation rushing through your thighs into your feet and before you know it, you just burned 400 calories in less than half an hour. WORK IT MAMI.


2. "WORK B****" BY BRITNEY SPEARS


I know. You're totally judging me. It's okay. Just heed my advice and listen to this song while your doing the tough work out. There is nothing like, the QUEEN, telling you "You want a hot body? You better work b****," in fact I totally applaud it. It keeps me in check and I can assure you, Ms. Spears won't fail to whip you into shape quick.


3. "SHUT UP AND DANCE" BY WALK THE MOON

Not only was this one of the hottest songs of the summer, but you feel like you can lift the world with this song. With it's killer beats and catchy melody that'll stay in your head for a straight week, you'll never want to turn this song off. Well, until you're tired of it ... then yeah, skip ahead. But seriously, for all you folks that like to pump that iron, this is the jam you gotta have. It'll get you pumped for that dead lift, or for your 250 lb. bench press.


4. "END OF TIME" BY BEYONCE

*No explanation needed*

5. "CAN'T FEEL MY FACE" BY THE WEEKND


This song just gets me going man, especially when I'm with the big boy section (it's not exclusively for boys, girls lift too) with all the free weights. You'll be able to lift so hard with this song pumping at you. You won't be able to feel your arms afterwards (see what I did there hehe)


6. "COOL FOR THE SUMMER" BY DEMI LOVATO

Just listen to the track. I'm sure you already have. The reason this song is on here is simply because Demi is BAE. No real motivation behind it. She's just bae. And she forever will be.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
