You’ve probably seen us at some point during the heat of the day, sweat glistening off our shoulders in the summer sun, one foot in front of the other, panting for air, pounding pavement as we round the corner. You were most likely sitting in your air-conditioned car at the red light before you rolled your window down to call out to us, or maybe walking on the other side of the street when you saw us *gasp* decked out in just a sports bra. Okay, okay. You caught us. Guilty as charged. At last, I’ll admit- that it really is all for you, baby.

Finally, here are women’s confessions as to why we really choose to wear only a sports bra for our workouts:

  1. We were hoping that we would see you.
  2. Just really wishing that we could get honked at. That’s our favorite.
  3. We want to see how many stares and whistles we can get, because we truly enjoy feeling like an object for only your viewing pleasure.
  4. To show off these rock hard abs. (Because I don’t eat pizza every day.)
  5. It’s way more comfortable than wearing a t-shirt or tank top.
  6. Because we squealed, "This super sexy undergarment will make him weak in the knees!" as we pulled out our full coverage, maximum support sports bra.
  7. We don’t feel validated, appreciated, or complete unless you catcall us. If you don’t, the run wasn’t even worth it.
  8. We were secretly hoping you’d gawk at our breasts.
  9. Because we’re not worried about how many miles we get in, just as long as we can make your day.
  10. Alright, honestly we were just pretending to exercise- we are really only out here trying to attract our future husbands.

Raise your hand if you got any of them right. Then use it to slap yourself, because…

Reasons women truly, really, actuallyrun in a sports bra:

  1. Because it’s hotter than (insert explicit language here) outside. (And maybe also because we don’t want to do even more laundry.)

So please forgive us, from the bottom of our bosoms, that we ever tried to exercise just for our physical health and well being. We realize this was stupid and selfish. Please also excuse us for giving you the finger next time you harass us on the street. You don’t have to do a double take- we promise it was all for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
