Workouts You Can Do In Your Dorm

Let's face it. We're back to school, getting into the swing of things, but haven't found a great time to squeeze in a trip to the gym. If you're anything like me, you HATE going to the gym. You're telling me I have to walk all the way across campus to do MORE exercise?

Sometimes you're on the treadmill and the boy next to you changes the TV channel from a "Sex in the City" Ladies Who Lunch marathon to Sports Center. No thanks. Workout over. Don't you hate when your headphones pop out every two seconds once you really get those arms pumping? Running on the treadmill is all "fun" (tolerable) and games, until your shorts ride up, you are chafing, and you immediately regret wearing a gray shirt to the gym.

But don't worry! I have the perfect solution! Workouts you can do without even leaving your dorm! Perfect for those rainy days, or when its -35 degrees outside and walking to the gym is just not an option. PLUS you get to watch whatever you want on TV and sing to Taylor Swift without worrying about what anyone thinks! So grab your yoga mat, your roomie, and get ready to sweeeeaaaat!

Hope this gets you in the mood to workout more than replays of yesterday's game and being super sweaty in public!

P.S. If you couldn't tell, I love POPSUGAR. They have tons of other free videos for whatever difficulty/length workout you are looking for!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
