Why I Chose CHAARG And You Should, Too
CHAARG

Entering college, I knew I wanted to join something that would keep me active and make me part of a strong, fun, group of women I could depend on as friends. And then I found CHAARG.

For those of you who don't know what CHAARG is, it's a women's fitness group, which has been liberating women from the elliptical and [C.hanging H.eatlh, A.ttitudes + A.ctions to R.ecreate G.irls] for a few years now, and has been exposing collegiate women to different forms of fun + fit living!

Since joining and embracing all that CHAARG has to offer, I've come to find that it really is such an amazing way to get in shape and find friends along the way. There are weekly group workouts, that are not only insanely fun, but are also serious workouts that make you break a sweat and keep you sore the next day (or two)! I've also come to find that the lifestyle change I have been meaning to make for many years isn't as hard when I have a support system of a hundred gorgeous, strong ladies behind me in my local chapter, and thousands behind me in my fit plans!

The thing about CHAARG is that it really is part of the support and encouragement I needed to get my lifestyle to be what I've always wanted it to be, or at least get me on the path to that. And just now getting into the swing of serious workouts and exploring different types of fitness, that's pretty scary. But having the ladies of my chapter behind me, supporting me, and cheering me on in group workouts is seriously helping me.

It's helping me to become more confident in my abilities.

It's helping me to be even more excited about fitness than I already was.

It's helping me to grow; not only as a woman in her workouts, but as a woman in our community.

It's helped me realize the support I always needed is totally here, in this group.

So what I'm trying to say is this: If you're a collegiate lady who loves fitness, or needs support and fun when trying to alter your fitness lifestyle, this is the place you need to go. The place where you're always encouraged to have fun and get healthy. The place where you have all of the accountability buddies you could ever ask for. The place where you can CHAARG-on.

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.
