Over the past year the personal trainer, Kayla Itsines, has become increasingly popular for her intense Bikini Body Guide. This guide gives you 12 weeks of exhausting muscle building workouts. These workouts may cause a little crying, but at the end of your 12-week guide you will be able to see why doing all of Kayla's burpees and jump squats will pay off.

1. Entering the gym.

Casually give the worker at the front desk a wink to let him know you think he's cute, but right now you have a more important task to take care of.

2. Start your music and your timer.

About to blast my eardrums out listening to Justin Bieber's new album to make sure I can't hear myself panting for air.

3. The first five minutes of BBG.

Woo! Look at me go, I am totally feeling that burn. I hope I'm doing this right because it definitely hurts. My abs will surely be here soon.

4. Done--With round one.

This wasn't as bad as I remembered from last week. I could lift these weights for hours.

5. Lay down push ups?

I see what you're trying to do to me Kayla. Trying to trick me into giving myself a little break every time I touch the ground? I'm not falling for it this time!

6. X jumps?

Well, now I am really just going to have to make a fool out of myself. I have no idea what I am supposed to be doing, so I'm just going to act like I've made up my own workout for this one.

7. Look at that, I forgot my sweat towel. Again.

Good thing the paper towels are right near me. I'll just stuff my shirt with those to absorb all of my boob sweat. Or maybe while I have 11 seconds left of what Kayla calls a "break", I'll go stand by that fan.

8. Did I just repeat the wrong round?


I definitely just did round one again instead of my last round two. Should I do round two even though I kind of already did all four rounds? But then I'll probably feel guilty--and the Kayla God's will hate me.

9. Two words, jump squats.

Kayla, I have already done so many lunges. Why must you make me squat and jump at the same time. Maybe if I do these squats, guys will pay attention to me more. Okay, I'll do them.

10. 30 Seconds left!


Oh no, I could never do this for hours.

11. Why can't I be like her?

I just don't understand how she can look so good after doing 30 burpees. I can't even stand to look at myself in my rear-view mirror. She must not be doing it right.

12. Time to eat--Healthy.


Since Kayla is so amazing, she includes healthy recipes in her guides. I will now be spending an additional $30 at Stop & Shop and will attempt to cook for myself, so I can feel healthy.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
