Working Out, As Told By Disney GIFs

All it takes is faith, trust, and a little bit of swearing.

Working Out, As Told By Disney GIFs

A haze clouds your vision, your chest tightens, burning as you push through the pain, and a river of sweat runs down your back.

No, you’re not having a heart attack. You’re working out!

I commend you for taking care of your body, and I’m also proud of you for having the motivation and perseverance to stick with your routine, but whenever I workout it usually goes something like this:

1. Someone (usually one of my roommates) asks me to work out with them.

2. And I try to change the subject because I don’t want to put my body through that hell.

3. But they give me puppy dog eyes and remind me that I told them to force me to go, even if I said no.

4. So I get into my cutest exercise clothes, and I feel like I can conquer this purely because I look so cute.

5. But when I get to the REX, I’m already out of breath.

6. My friend starts stretching and warming up, so I copy their moves.

7. But after five minutes, they start doing planks, and I start crying because it feels like my stomach is on fire.

8. Then the friend, who is practically glowing, looks at me and says, “Keep going. You got this!”, and I want to punch them in their sweat-free face.

9. At some point, we transition to weight lifting.

10. But my arms give out after a couple of sets.

11. And at this point I’m just lucky to be alive.

12. While my friend is working on her arms and legs, I decide to try the treadmill.

13. But I get too competitive with the person next to me and end up going too fast, too quickly.

14. And when I look at the clock, thinking that 30 minutes have passed, I realize that we’ve only been working out for 10, and a string of expletives fly out of my mouth.

14. Finally, I begin to get into some sort of rhythm, and I find the machine that works for me

15. And by the time I’m done, I forgot how much I hated working out in the first place because I feel awesome.

16. And I realize that maybe, somewhere deep, deep down, I actually kind of like working out.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
