Finding motivation during quarantine has gradually gotten harder and harder for me to do. I sleep in past noon, forget school assignments, and binge-watch too much "Westworld."

But that's okay. This new reality is nowhere near normal, and we shouldn't feel guilty about having bad days. What I've found is that working out earlier in my day is what keeps me on track for the most part.

This might be different for you. It's all about finding what works with your body and making sure you're taking good care of yourself.

Below I compiled my go-to workout that I have done almost every day since being in quarantine. Of course, some days are duds and I barely get anything done. That's okay. Just keep pushing forward and try to see the best in every day.

1. Jog 1-2 miles

Sometimes I do more, sometimes I do less. It all depends on how my body is feeling and listening to it! I also walk this sometimes if I'm really feeling unmotivated.

2. Ab Circuit

Repeat all of this two times (three if you're feeling good).

20 crunches

20 Russian twists

20 toe touches

20 bicycle crunches

20 leg lifts

20 butterfly kicks

20 reverse crunches

20 side crunches (each side)

30-second plank

20 hip dip planks (each side)

3. Booty Circuit 

Try to do this one to two times through!

20 sumo squats

20 plie squats with heel raises

30 pulse squats

20 in & out squats

30 fire hydrants

20 hip bridges with extensions (each side)

30 clamshells

I hope these fun and quick workouts keep you motivated and healthy during this scary time. If these don't do it for you, YouTube has some amazing workout videos to follow and they definitely get you sweating. Good luck!

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
