There are certain things that everyone who loves working out faces on the daily basis. Whether small personal habits, or interactions with others, we can all relate to these 14 things because of the reason that working out makes up such a large aspect of our life.

1. People are always jokingly asking you if you worked out yet today (but not really jokingly- they know you already have).

2. Your wardrobe is solely workout clothes. Nike. Adidas. Under Armor. You name it.

3. You own multiple pairs of workout shoes- for lifting, running, and another pair just because they're cute.

4. You're very familiar with the best pre-workouts and protein brands because #gains

5. You carry a blender bottle with you everywhere because staying hydrated is key.

6. You're constantly inviting people to come workout with you, but secretly hoping they won't actually join you because distractions.

7. You LIVE for PR's.

8. Your day is scheduled around what time you're hitting the gym. Everything else revolves around it. Simple as that.

9. You're constantly sore, and always letting everyone else know how sore you are.

10. You talk about what you did in the gym that day to anyone listening- as if they really care.


11. You can't walk past a mirror without subtly flexing a little, you know you do it.

12. When you meet someone else who works out as well, you have an automatic bond with them.

13. It's all about the progress.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
