College food and Commons dining halls. No one can resist pizza with different toppings or the Chinese food. By the end of the week, you realize you have been eating more than you have been working out. Then it hits you that you haven't gone to the gym in like three weeks because you keep procrastinating and you never do it because you don't have time.

Well, you don't have to go to the gym anymore; we've got the best five workouts you could daily


1. Walking up the Alkek stairs

Admit it or not, this is the best and the worst leg workout at 8 a.m., whether it's to go to class or just to go to the library!


2. Carrying your dishes in the dining halls

You've got four plates; pizza, salad, pasta and deserts. But carrying those four plates back can be a painful arm workout.


3. Bending to plug your computer

When you want to plug your computer and there are no plugs nearby, you are forced to bend over by the floor or across the table, which consequently works your abs off.


4. Typing

There's really nothing worse than typing three essays in one day that will make your arm muscles sore, but hey, as long as you don't end up with carpal tunnel, you should be fine!

5. Carrying your books

You just don't understand why any of your professors asked you to bring your books (which altogether feels like it weighs more than your own body) to class today. But all in a day's work, I guess.


See? You've been working out this entire time without even realizing it! However...it may be time to actually hit the gym. You know...to get some legitimate workout time?

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
