19 Thoughts I Have At The Gym

Ahhh, working out. You either love it or you hate it, or you use it as an excuse to jam to Missy Elliot. But who am I kidding, you never need an excuse to "lose control."

Working out used to be easy. Ever since grade school you were forced to engage in physical activity. Between running the mile and playing kickball at recess, you were always on the go. Now that we've replaced these active leisurely games with Netflix, the only exercise we get is walking to and from class and making the occasional frat lap. What can I say, these love handles won't maintain themselves, ya know.

But, on the rare occasion that I do like to venture into *dun dun dunnn* the gym, these are a few thoughts that flood my mind as tears flood my eyes and sweat floods my shirt.

1. This light jog will totally compensate for the pint of ice cream I will be consuming later.

2. Great, the models from the entire Victoria Secret catalog just showed up.

3. Now they're sitting next to me. Wow, am I lucky?!

4. I hope guys don't realize I look this bad when I'm actually wearing makeup.

5. Am I the one that smells this bad or is it the girl next to me? Na, nope, definitely me.

6. I am so hyped for yoga!

7. I can't wait to Instagram a picture of me doing yoga. Hashtag yoga hashtag fitness hashtag just kidding, I can't bend like that.

8. I swear I played sports in high school.

9. If anyone asks, I wasn't left bench.

10. That machine looks way too complicated.

11. *Ambitiously grabs heavy weights*

12. *Sheepishly returns heavy weights*

13. Sh*t, I just pulled a muscle or five.

14. I didn't even know I could hurt there.

15. Thank God for the elliptical.

16. RIP Alli Driscoll. Cause of death: the StairMaster.

17. Wow, check out that guy's muscles!!

18. *Falls off treadmill*

19. Well, looks like my work here is done.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
