10 Things I'd Rather Do Than Sit In A College Class That Takes Place After 5 PM

http://www.lschs.org/cf_news/view.cfm?newsid=3973

Face it we've all been there. Stuck in a night class that is required by our major.

You think to yourself why couldn't I have taken this class earlier in the day, oh yeah it wasn't offered then. Unfortunately, we all know the pain, to some degree or another and if you don't then you are blessed. NIght classes suck beyond measure, your friends are out at happy hour, the sun is setting while you're sitting in class, and the only thing you want to do is put on some sweats and watch Netflix.

14 Blatant Differences Between A University And Community College

As senior year of high school rolled around, I went into total panic mode thinking about what colleges I wanted to apply to. My creative side wanted to apply to universities that were more geared towards the arts and my interest in film work. Most of these colleges were in totally different states, which I found exciting.

The logical side of my brain knew I needed to rethink my options and find somewhere closer to home. However, during the midst of my college application process, I injured myself pretty badly during my last high school game of volleyball (I love having awful knees -- they cause you lots of issues). This injury consumed a lot of time and took my attention away from college applications, eventually causing me to choose to attend the community college in my hometown.

The Difference Between Vanity and self-love is Your own insecurity

Vanity is a weird subject. What constitutes someone as being vain? For the longest time, I always confused vanity with self-love, and now I still don't really know where the line is. And, even more confusing, how do you express self-love that doesn't come off in a pompous way? One pretty messed up thing I've noticed is that it almost seems that if a lean person is proud of their body, it's vanity, but if a person isn't conventionally skinny, then it's called "self-love." And I think I may have found out why...

33 Thoughts Gym Girls Have Every Single Time We Work Out

Be honest, we've all had these thoughts.

Going to the gym is a task that no one enjoys. We always hate the process it entails, and yet, we still go. I don't think I've ever met someone who has been excited to go to the gym. Even the thought of having to go to the gym tomorrow haunts me. Even though we hate going, we find ourselves showing up ready to take on the sweaty and used machines, and of course, the muscle-heads who only lift weights to stay in shape.

Whether you're trying to stay fit, lose some weight, or get in shape for bikini season, we have at least one thing in common: our thought process while working out. We all try and think about different things, but here are 33 things ALL girls have thought about at least once while at the gym.

It might be worse than an 8 AM.

Bathe a cat

Leg day everyday

Get shampoo in my eye while showering

Write a 10 page paper on literally anything else but the class

Get lemon juice in a papercut

Run a marathon

Go to sleep with a stuffy nose

Memorize Shakespeare

Step on a Lego (admit it those things hurt)

Sit in standstill traffic for hours

I expected no changes, but I was completely wrong.

1. The books are way cheaper at a university.

2. Professors seemed more serious at community college.

3. The students are just... different.

4. You cannot hide from your work.

5. You cannot participate in as many stress-relieving activities as you did at home.

6. Your tuition is double, if not triple, the amount it was at community college.

7. You are around people your age 24/7.

8. With the above in mind, there can be no such thing as "quiet time."

9. Being away from home is a lot harder than you think.

10. It's a bit easier to make friends.

11. There's a lot more school pride.

12. Being a transfer student is kind of a pain.

13. You build up some serious leg muscles.

14. You learn a lot of life lessons being away at school.

You can easily get these cardio workouts into your busy schedule.

1. Overpack your bags.

2. Drag race your full shopping cart.

3. When it comes to carrying in your groceries, go all or nothing.

4. Drop your phone at least 30 times a day.

5. Speed whenever you drive.

6. Like someone's photo from 2012.

7. Consume a gallon of caffeinated beverages.

8. Do trust falls with strangers.

9. Never remember if you did things.

10. Run...15 minutes late.

Every day's a great day to be a Wildcat!

1. HoCo > Philly & Stillings

2. The Dairy Bar's "Graham Central Station" will Change Your Life

3. Wild Kitty is Dangerously Delicious

4. Take Adavantage of the Rec Center

5. Homecoming Will be the Best and Possibly the Worst Day of Your Life all in One.

6. Get Involved!

A lesson I've learned in my journey to achieve my final form as a "once I lose weight and get clear skin, it's over for you bitches" tweet.

Be honest, we've all had these thoughts.
