1. You often blow of social gatherings to workout.

It's Thursday night and your friends are calling you asking to hit the bars and you know the only bar you'll be at is the one you use to squat.

2. You find yourself trying to out eat the person next to you.

If the guy next to you can eat 8 ounces of chicken you can definitely double that.

3. you constantly catch yourself flexing in the mirror.

Whether its during a nice bicep pump or five hours later, a mirror is in proximity, and you are flexing and posing to see which parts of your body you'll be working on next. Some call if vein, some call it self criticism.


4. Working out has your broke.

Always aspiring for the best gym outfits, the best supplements, and the best gym can put a huge dent in your bank account.


5. Massages are always necessary.

You arise from bed to instant soreness and the sound of every joint in your body popping, almost like a song. Whether its to get knots out of your back or make your hips less tight, you have someone who knows how you like your massages, or your foam roller is always convenient.

6. You have separate social media accounts just to post gym selfies.

Your regular followers got sick of long sappy posts about how much you love to exercise, or the flexing and posing photos in the mirror at the gym. You got sick of your friends' party pictures mixing with the photos of your favorite body builders, so you separated the two. Now everyone is happy.

7. Jeans never fit right.

Tiny waist and a big butt and huge thighs makes it HELL to buy jeans. Better stick to leggings or shorts.


8. Your friends are too intimidated to workout with you.

Or they are too embarrassed to be seen with someone as insane as you.

9. You have your friends, and then you have your gym friends.

Rarely do you mix the two groups, but they both know EVERYTHING about you. If you can mix them, you know you found awesome friends.


10. A quick workout is at least 3 hours.

You tell your roommates you'll be home soon, and they know not to expect you to walk through the door for much longer.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
