9 Christmas Gift Ideas For A Fitness Lover

pinimg.com

We all know that Christmas is coming up and many of you are creating your Wish Lists for Santa Claus already! Most fit chicks are the same when it comes to gift planning- very simple and predictable! I can guarantee that a majority of these items are on your list if fitness is your thing, so let others know too:

1. Lululemon

Tanks, leggings and sports bras. You name it! We all want the pants that make our butt look like Kim Kardashian. Not to mention, Instagram picture 'likes' for days.

2. Protein Bars

Fit Crunch, Combat Crunch, Quest, Grenade. Oh yeah! One of each, please! Every fitness junkie loves getting these treats under the Christmas tree.

3. Wireless Beats

No one wants to deal with the hassle of the annoying cords from earphones (#firstworldprobs), so why not go wireless with Beats? Better sound quality=better workouts. Duh!

4. New Kicks

If you go to the gym after the holidays, EVERYONE is rocking their new shoes and showing them off. It gives you more motivation to actually go and work out, right?

5. Massages

We all get to the point where we are so sore we can't even move. Getting a massage is one way to take care of that. TREAT YO SELF!

6. FitBits

Although I'm not a huge fan of these, I know many of you want to start tracking your steps, sleep cycle, and calories burned. Tell Santa you were a good girl this year and hope you get one of these this holiday season!

7. Gift Cards

Where to begin? Starbucks, GNC, Grocery stores (for all the noms), Finish Line, Chipotle. Need I say more? Now you can get whatever your little heart desires!

8. Peanut Butter

What fitchick doesn't like PB?! I find myself eating this stuff by the spoonful some nights. Shhh, don't tell the coach!

(If you're looking for a good protein-packed Peanut Butter, try Nuts N' More, $12-$15)

9. Resistance Bands

The bands that improve movement, reduce joint pain, and when used around your legs (make your booty GROW!) Santa, I want a bigger butt for Christmas, please!?

I hope you are all on Santa's Nice List this year!

xoxo, Lauren

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

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.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

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.
