12 Stages Of Going To The Gym

Who doesn't love working out? The best time to be gross and sweaty and out of shape is when half of your school is there to see you. I mean even though literally no one cares about your workout, it feels like it's all eyes on you. Everyone goes through the same awkward gym experience at some point, even the most fit of us. Here are the phases of working out in college.

1. You're finished with classes and thought you should venture to the AC to get that "summer bod."

More likely, you force yourself or are forced by friends.

2. You decide to start off with some light stretching, yanno really warm it up (since it has been years).

Calisthenics all damn day!

3. Time for some cardio -- the only challenge is finding a treadmill.

4. But once you find one, you realize your mistake.

5. Time to give up on the machines and join your friends for a circuit workout #turnup.

6. Just as you're really getting into it, you spot your crush.

7. Maybe you try some weights, and you think you're looking good AF.

8. What you think you look like.

What you actually look like.

9. When you realize your true weakness.

10. God help you if you're dragged to some type of class, where you know absolutely nothing.

11. Afterwards the instructor asks how you feel about your first class.

12. Finally you see the light at the end of your workout, but your body betrays your attempt to leave.


Good luck (soon to be) gym rats!

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.
