5 Must-Haves Every Female Needs For The Gym

Pixels

Being a female is rough when it comes to working out. So many daily essentials to prepare for, and once you hit the gym, everything gets rearranged. You have class, maybe work, and you want to keep a social life too, so there are certain items you might want to have in your bag before heading to the gym.

1. Water bottle

Carry this around at all times. It is important to stay hydrated, especially as you are walking around all day and of course at the gym!

2. Dry shampoo

Hair is bound to get greasy after going to the gym for a nice sweat, so if you go in between classes, use this to look fresh after a good workout!

3. Makeup remover wipes

This is essential. Never wear face makeup at the gym because the sweat will get in your pores and bring pimples! You'll feel lighter without foundation on anyways!

4. Deodorant

This one is obvious. With this, you can go to class after the gym and your peers will never guess you had just run 2 miles on the treadmill!

5. Headphones

These are essential for running and lifting. Listen to music that will get you motivated to work hard. Music changes your mood, so if you play songs that positively influence you, you can accomplish anything!

Happy exercising, and keep up all your hard work with those fitness New Year resolutions!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
