20 Songs to Workout To

Some will work for you, some will work for others.

I think one of the most important parts of working out is good music. Without the right song with the right beat and lyrics, we're sluggish and out of the zone. But, if you can find the perfect song, or just the right playlist, you'll be able to pull HEAVY weight for hours, come back later, and lift again. I'm always on the prowl for new music, so I figured I'd share a couple songs with you guys, to see if you'd like them.

1. Monster - Meek Mill

My music taste ranges from pop to rap to rock to R&B, so some of these songs might work for you and others may not. But this song should work for everyone. Meek Mill is fire. I know he has that whole beef with Drake and whatever, but he spits bars, and this song just gets me pumped up.

2. Numb/Encore - JAY Z and Linkin' Park

This is a HUGE throwback from when I was in like eighth grade, but it still goes.

3. Trophies - Drake

Another heater thats been around for a couple years. Just makes you feel hyped, man.

4. Give Me A Sign - Breaking Benjamin

I'm a HUGE fan of music that gets me angry. This song gets me mad, for sure.

5. Pittsburgh - The Amity Affliction

My new-found love, The Amity Affliction, put out a solid song with Pittsburgh. I rage to it and lift mad weight.

6. The Downfall of Us All - ADTR

Just an insane intro that will honestly make you want to run through walls.

7. Wild Eyes - Parkway Drive

Again, another absolutely insane intro which will have you lifting triple your previous max.

8. Calm Down - G Eazy

HUGE fan of this guy, always lays it down heavy.

9. Rap God - Eminem

Speaking of white rappers, check this guy out. You might know him.

10. Gordo - Carnage

Pretty short song, but still gets you PUMPED!

11. Down With The Sickness - Disturbed

Pretty well known song, still gets me going every damn time with that drop.

12. IV. sweatpants - Childish Gambino

Childish thooooooo

13. Language - Porter Robinson

EDM is tough with workouts, basically I just try to find the best drops, but this whole song man, something special.

14. Break The Cycle - Motionless in White

15. New Slaves - Kanye West

16. Champions - Kanye West

17. Collard Greens - Schoolboy Q

I love hyped rap

18. Wild Boy - MGK

The OG

19. Lights Out - Breaking Benjamin

20. No Excuses - Timeflies

Thats all I have for you guys! Like I said, my music taste varies heavily between what I like at the gym. I hope some of these work for you guys, though.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

9 Reasons Why Friends Are Essential In College

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
