To The Fitness Industry That's Still Serving Up Good Endorphins During Quarantine — Thank You

I am so impressed with the fast adaptation the fitness industry has made. I am also impressed by how positive the industry remained. I can testify that we have even gotten stronger, no pun intended. The blooming positivity has made this change much easier on all of us.

I thank all the gyms, fitness influencers, trainers, etc. that are selflessly offering free classes virtually. Even when the world came to a halt, you raised positivity. Thank you for understanding that this time has been stressful for everyone. Thank you for thinking about others and realizing fitness is the outlet people need right now.

Offering free resources to everyone has saved lives.

The fitness industry has seen a huge amount of growth because we have unlimited time on our hands. There are thousands of free workout streams at once. It's as easy as one-click to get started. There are SO many plans available to us right now that we can all find a custom workout to our body easily and for free.

If you have been in the fitness industry before this world-wide crisis, you know how expensive custom training and nutritional plans can be. It's refreshing to know that we can all come together and ultimately support each other by offering free access.

Exercise is our only savior right now. Exercise has the power to save recovering alcoholics and drug addicts.

Anxiety levels and depression are rising right now, but the fitness industry is trying their best to prevent that from happening.

It's important to know that if you're struggling, you need to realize that there are resources available to you. Exercise is one of the best medicines. Do your research!

So, thank you to all the fitness industry professionals.

We love you and we thank you for the resources you have given us during this time.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Syllabus Week As Told By Kourtney Kardashian

Feeling Lost During Syllabus Week? You're Not Alone!

Kourtney Kardashian

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.
