1. The lust for cool workout clothes.

Nike, Adidas, Lulu Lemon and Under Armour have all my money. Also, Khloe K's fitness closet is goals.



2. Feeling secretly guilty about loving the high you get from taking pre-workout supplements.

It feels so good but the Internet says it's so bad.


3. Dreading the time when your tolerance for it has gone so high that you have to phase off for a while.

T minus three days until I can take pre-workout again.


4. Feeling possessive of your favorite machines.

How many sets are you going to do, man? Give me my machine back.


5. Giving anyone who takes your spot on the mats evil side-eye.

Go find your own spot.


6. Working out as a solution to everything.

Stressed? Go to the gym. Sleepy? Go to the gym. Bored? Go to the gym.


7. That feeling of utter despair when you realize the gym is closed AFTER you've already taken your pre-workout.

What do I do?! WHY CAN'T GYMS BE OPEN 24 HOURS?!


8. Gawking at the fitness gods that go to your gym.

How are you lifting that much? How are your muscles so defined? TEACH ME.


9. When you have to go for more than a few days without access to a gym...

Like a smoker deprived of nicotine, depriving you of exercise makes you sluggish, irritable and prone to unwise decisions.


10. Being grumpy for your whole workout because that one machine is broken.

Ugh, now I'll have to plan a whole new work out!


11. The euphoria-like zen that you get into when in the middle of your workout.

All your worries melt away and it's you, your heartbeat and your muscles.


12. Feeling so much more confident after workouts!

Yassss bi*tches, I'm on top of the world!


13. Waking up the day after a particularly grueling workout and not being able to move without wincing.

I'll just lie in bed until it doesn't hurt to move.


14. The struggle of going up and down stairs after leg day.

Also choosing to bend over 90 degrees to pick something up instead of squatting.


15. The struggle of laughing or sneezingafter abs day.

"Hahahahahaha OW!"


16. Looking in the mirror one day to realize that you've made progress.

Whoa... I have muscles.

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.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
