12 People You'll See At The Gym

Since the beginning of college, my gym-going has become pretty regular, and I feel more and more like Steve Irwin each time that I try to navigate the jungle of the gym. So today I’m going to walk you through a guide that will you each type of person you’ll see at any gym. So let's start our journey, mates, to the unbelievable habitat of 12 unique people you'll find at the gym.

1. The Guy who Skips Leg Day

This specimen is a true sight. They're fragile creatures, known for their chicken legs that will just snap if you got too close to them. They're known to shy away from squat racks and leg machines, but if you want to see one, you can always find them working on their astounding biceps or chest.

2. The “I work out” Social Media Posters (The “Selfie”)

Next we see the wily selfie takers. These are the people are most commonly found standing in front of the mirrors the whole time. Crikey, they're amazing to watch in their natural habitat! There are even times when you'll see these social media junkies lift a weight or two, but that's especially rare!

3. The Men who Can Lift a House

Now, you get to see a real treat to see this creature in the wild! These men can be extremely dangerous and are known to be able to squat at least three times their weight! Absolutely amazing to behold.

4. The One who has No Idea What They’re Doing

This creature is extremely dangerous and can hurt anyone within a 10 foot radius if you're not careful. As you can see, these people cause chaos and are easily confused. I'm gonna poke him with a stick.

5. The Screamer

Holy smokes, do I have a fantastic surprise for you! We have the screamer going through his mating call. This call can be heard throughout the entire gym, and although it's not appealing to the ear, it's great to behold.

6. The Gym Princess

Wow! What a beaut! This girl always looks pristine, but they are dangerous for any possible mate to approach. She seeks refuge on the stair climber or doing body weight routines.

7. The “Expert”

This person can disguise himself to his prey, appearing like someone who can help them with their workout, but they're ambush predators. They'll snatch up their unsuspecting prey with their ready information, but they give bad advice and can be easily spotted by anyone with experience.

8. The Weight Hog

This guy is very interesting! He's known for stealing the weights from others and hoarding them in his nest. Don't even think about trying to take them! He's "using them all."

9. The Old People

Ah! Look at these ancient creatures. Holy smokes, it's incredible that they're still at it! This is quite possibly the future of everyone in this gym.

10. “That Couple”

These people are easily recognizable. Crikey, aren't they annoying?

11. That Girl

This female is extremely rare. They're seen to lift just as much as any man around her, if not more! She is unbelievable. Watching her in her natural habitat is amazing to behold.

12. The Group Workers

These gym bees travel in a herd, and it's extremely important that you hold your ground around them. Usually only one or two are lifting while the others form a protective barrier around them. They get really, really aggressive if you try to get them to move.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.
