CrossFit As Told By A Couch Potato

I'd still rather be eating Nutella.

CrossFit As Told By A Couch Potato

I am not one for physical exertion. My biggest workout is running up the stairs from my living room to my bedroom. I go from watching Netflix on my TV to watching Youtube on my laptop. And every hour I take a break and raid my fridge. It's a simple life that used to bring me many pleasures. That's until I went to college and got the notorious "Freshman 15". That combined with my best friend telling me about how much she loved CrossFit, made me get a membership. Let me tell you, my muscles are very mad at me right now. The one thing I've learned during the one week I've been doing CrossFit is that it is something that breaks then rebuilds your mental and physical strength. In one class I go from begging God to relieve me from my misery to feeling as if I am the biggest badass to roam this earth. These are the very many feelings I go through from warm-up to cool down.

1. Looks at the WOD.

2. Starts warm-up.

3. Tries to finish the warm-up.

4. Realizes you haven't even started the actual workout.

5. Starts first set.

6. Finishes triumphantly.

7. Realizes you have three more.

8. Trying to push through the rest of the workout.

9. When the trainer tells you, "Keep pushing, you got this."

10. When you're running the last 800 meters.

11. Finally finished.

12. But you still have a cool down.

13. Waiting until the trainer isn't looking so you can sneak out to avoid the cool down.

14. How you think you look after.

15. How you really look.

16. When you finally get home.

17. When you finally eat and undo all the hard work you put in.

18. When you brag to all your friends about how CrossFit has fundamentally transformed you as a person.

On the Upper East Side, Blair Waldorf is an icon. She's what every girl aspires to be. She's beautiful, confident, and can handle any obstacle that life throws at her. Sure, she may just be a television character. But for me, she's a role model and theres a lot that can be learned from Queen B.

The Perks of Being a Girl

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
