16 Reasons to Get to the Gym

The gym. The most necessary evil out there. If you have issues mustering up the motivation to get off your rear and go to the gym I strongly suggest you take a gander at this list. If you don't , well good for you but you should check it out anyways.  

1. You just got those super cute sneaks and some one HAS to see them.

2. Tobi… true to size if you layer various Spanx products underneath.

3. It still counts if you just go to stretch, "A" for effort.

4. Two words. Formal dress.

5. Two more words. Cheap beer.

6. Proactively justifying the doughnut you have had your sights set on all day.

7. Actually just making room for a greasy expansion in general.

8. Bonus: those super cute sneaks probably won’t smell as pretty as they look after a good sweat. Pick your target and hide those stinky  suckers under their bed. Revenge is a dish best served smelly.

9. Your mother is coming for a visit in the near future.

10. Elastic waistbands should be a choice luxury not a daily necessity.

11. Resourceful outfit options. You can’t raid your roommate’s closet if you aren’t at least a similar size.

12. The diet taco bell "Fresco" menu just doesn’t do it for you.

13. You know the exact times that kid you gently stalk in your bio class goes to workout. 

14. Chasing down the ice cream truck does not actually count as cardio, as much as we wish it did. 

15. Your dog is in better shape than you.

16. You have an excuse to dress in norts and comfort colors all day after.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.
