In This Article:

When I go to the gym, I'm forever looking around the gym. I'm not sure why I guess I just get bored running on the treadmill or using the elliptical during cardio days. I've noticed a few certain types of people that workout at my gym. Most people go, workout, and leave but some people have a real gym stereotype.

1. The Girl With Super Cute Workout Clothes

Usually there's a few girls that have super cute leggings or tops that just make me wonder where they find their cute clothes when I'm wearing black Nike shorts and a really old tournament t-shirt from freshman year of highschool. But they probably spend a fortune on their perfectly coordinated outfits and I'm not prepared to do that.

2. The Girl That Lifts With All The Buff Dudes

This girl is friends with almost everyone at the gym. Either she comes in with these guys or they see each other and just start lifting together. And she's no joke- she takes lifting seriously.

3. The Runner

This is the guy that has been running on the treadmill ever since you got to the gym an hour ago and he's still running.

4. The Guy Who Goes Around Talking To All The Cute Girls

Now this guy is always fairly attractive and built but you can just tell he's a tool by the cocky way he walks and goes up to at least 2 or 3 girls in the hour or hour and a half that you're there and each time you go to the gym they're usually different girls he's approaching… gotta stay away from that one, ladies.

5. The Major Lifter Guy

This guy always wears a cutoff t-shirt and walks to the water fountain in between every single set on the bench press.

Looks like the average person between seventeen and thirty years old that does their thing and leaves without bothering anyone.

7. The Person You See Everywhere

I feel like everyone has that one person that they see what feels like everywhere and then you just happen to see them at the gym.

8. The Cute Guy

This is the guy that you have a really big crush on but it's just a gym crush and there's no way you'd ever actually talk to him.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

Sometimes my brain just starts turning on an idea and it doesn't want to stop.

I don't know if it is related to my anxiety, perfectionism or depression. I don't know why it happens. It's frustrating, it's painful and it stops me from functioning.

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
