Changing Health, Attitudes, and Actions to Recreate Girls

Get in CHAARG!
Sharmaine Ruth Photography

This past Friday, I was introduced by one of my sisters to the executive board of a new group on Ball State’s campus. Being a photographer gives you a lot of insight on people, for instant, how they react to directions, how they work with others, and what kind of personality they have. After take these girls’ photos, I found myself really lucky to have met them.

Who are these girls, you may ask? Well, let me introduce you to the women of Ball State's CHAARG!

CHAARG is a group focused on encouraging health and fitness in college-aged girls looking for a friendly and fun environment to work out in. By partnering with different companies, CHAARG gives women opportunities, such as hot yoga and CrossFit, to test out different workout styles and eventually help them “find their fit.” If you're like me and tend to feel very awkward and self-conscious going to the gym, then joining a group like this, which promotes positivity and a healthy lifestyle, would be very beneficial. This organization teaches you that the importance of getting in charge of your life and having fun while doing it.

As a fairly new organization, CHAARG currently holds 24 chapters across the country and is hoping to expand. With CHAARG beginning it's first recruitment season at BSU, it’s amazing to see history being made on campus by such an empowering group of women. In this day and age, a group that creates a lifestyle that promotes women to be the best version of themselves is exactly what we all need.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
