Christmas is over and all of the cookies have been eaten. Your favorite pair of jeans no longer button and regret over holiday indulgences begins to set in. New Years is a few days away, and the annual “It’s time to lose weight” and “I’m going to get fit” resolutions kick into high gear. We approach these goals with great ambition, but life, school and work tends to interfere with desired results within a few short weeks. This doesn’t have to be the case in 2016!

Orangetheory Fitness, an interval workout studio, is making waves in the health world. This revolutionary workout technique can help us all accomplish our resolutions this year! Orangetheory Fitness studios facilitate 60 minutes classes that incorporate cardio and weightlifting exercises that push individuals to reach their goals regardless of age or prior fitness experience. Here is why Orangetheory Fitness works and how it will help you burn off those sugar cookies. Your heart monitor doesn’t lie! Orangetheory Fitness is unique because participants are required to wear heart monitors for the entirety of the workout. The results from the monitors are displayed to help individuals gauge energy expenditure and help push through the workout.

1. Introducing “EPOC”: Orangetheory fitness’ philosophy is for participants to train in the “orange zone,” 84% or higher of one’s maximum heart rate, for 12 to 20 minutes of the 60 minute workout. When this is done, participants achieve Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC) creating an after burn affect that can last for up to 36 hours.

2. Base, Push, All Out: The structure of Orangetheory Fitness’ workout changes pace from start to finish. The trainers instruct participants to begin at their “base pace” increase into “push pace” and finish at an “all out” pace. This transition helps burn fat and achieve EPOC.

3. The workout is different every time: At the corporate level, Orangetheory Fitness produces unique workouts on a daily basis. Customers are never bored with their training, and are excited to return for a new workout every time they visit a studio.


4. Small studios: The small studios provide an intimate environment. The sessions provide a personal training like experience without the intimidation and cost factors.

5. Calorie Burn: On average, participants burn 500-1000 calories per session.

6. Great music! The playlists are upbeat and dance worthy!

7. There are locations all over the country: There are currently 62 Orangetheory Fitness locations in the United States. Orangetheory hopes to have 150 locations by the end of 2016.

8. The instructors are experienced and inspiring: The qualified trainers encourage proper form during weightlifting exercises and provide motivation during difficult treadmill intervals. Each trainer brings their own flare to the training room.

9. Weight loss challenges: If weight loss is the participants’ main goal, Orangetheory Fitness provides monthly weight loss challenges to help participants reach their goals. Cash prizes are an added bonus!

10. Community Environment: The atmosphere is positive and encouraging from both the trainers and fellow class takers. Suffering and sweating through the 60 minute session bonds the group together.

11. Challenging and Addicting: The unique workouts keep participants wanting more! It's almost impossible to only take one Orangetheory Fitness class.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
